Islamists in the court room: reply to free bee

Dear Free Bee,

Why don't you be a man enough and choose to fight out the battle of words using your real name, whatever that may be? Anyway, your reply to Mr. Romesh Chander made interesting reading. We are , by now only too familiar with such routinely mouthed sentences like " Islam is a religion of peace", " but the Prophet always taught tolerance", "unto you your religion,unto me mine", etc.etc.

To teach us what Islam has supposedly taught you is an exercise in futility and, to some, an outright insult. Please try telling what you have to tell us to a mother who has lost her only son to the terrorists' bullets in Kashmir, or to the millions of Kashmiri Pandits who have been driven out of their homes and hearths simply because they did not subscribe to a way of life that is entirely alien to the ethos of the Indian sub continent. By now, we are too familiar with this cunning but not so clever tactic of one section of the Muslim community indulging in open warfare against the innocents while the other quoting the Koran chapter and verse to misguide those who suffer at the cruel hands of the "Islamic" terrorists.
