Dear Ahmed,

I have read some of your posts and I can say that your intentions seem to be right. But when you talk to moslems, you always reach a point where you come across a big wall of hate and stubbornness. This really makes you wonder whether it is really worthwhile to talk to them in the first place.

Anubhav is from India which had to bear the brunt of terrorism with over forty thousand killed in the past 10 years. People are just wasting human lives in the name of islam and this provides a justification for the bloody riots that folow. It is the same story year after year and moslems don't seem to understand that they are harming themselves more and more. Where is the peace in Islam that you always claim ? It is simply not there. Nobody wants moslems to change their faith or expect something stupid like that from them .Others just want moslems to love the land that they have settled in and be loyal to it , since they enjoy freedom of faith and equal opportunities.

India has a moslem President at present. Moslems have been promoted to rank of generals in the Indian army . There had been governors, ministers chief justices among Indian moslems. But still there are many who are very shamelessly disloyal to the nation. And they are influencing many others to do the same. Why can't they just accept their nationality and the well defined borders and live in peace ? Instead they are dreaming of a pan islamic nation that will be united with Pakistan. Reason ? ISLAM. And India is a third world country which had her parliament attacked directly by terrorists sponsored by Pakistan. Moslem terrorist attacks are common. You may claim otherwise but ISLAM is ISLAM. It is making people fight and kill each other for no sane reason.How much more should the world suffer because of an ideology ? Its foundations have been laid on violence and its adherents don't want to reform its evils . Period. I don't understand why you think otherwise.
