The moderates need to salvage Islam !

I was so surprised to see the comments from a fellow Indian ,Imran,equating terrorism in Palestine with the likes of Subhash Chandra Bose.
Let me remind you:Subhash Chandra Bose like a true soldier took on the might of the British Army in a battle field.He did not strap a bomb around his waist and blow himself up in a Mall purposely targetting women and children.

The so called warriors of Islam do just that. If they really think they are men they should take on the Israeli army in a battle as men do.Not like the cowards they are.

Imran,I do not see you condemning the terrorism being perpetrated from across the borders in Pakistan.The recent bomb blasts in MUmbai is a reminder of the gory truth about Islamic terrorism affecting our daily lives.And yet ,you do point out that Islam defines a peaceful way of life. Look at all those terrorists wielding a gun in one hand and holding the Quran in another.

3 year old kids are firing blind shots into thin air. Is this what Islam preaches-If yes,then something is very seriously wrong.
If not-please rise as a moderate and salvage your religion from these so called warriors of Allah.
