Islamic Terrorism

I have lived in Bombay since birth and I love the city, its helpful character, its friendly people, its hustle-bustle and its importance to the rest of India.

I hate the fact that Islamic terrorists have repeatedly targeted Bombay in their quest to maim India.
Most peace-loving people here also hesitate to describe this act of terror as Islamic terrorism.
It is termed as the act of barbarians which no doubt it is but it is also the result of radical islamic teachings which fact we can't ignore.
Islamic ideology not only allows but also justifies the killing of non-believers.
If the world doesn't take cognisance of this fact then a solution to this problem will be hard to find.
