Rise of Militant Islam with the help of Moderate muslims
Reader comment on item: Piggybacking on Terror
in response to reader comment: The threat of Moderate Islam
Submitted by Daniel Goldberg (Singapore), Aug 30, 2006 at 17:00
I am working in an American MNC in Singapore , I have chance to travel to Malaysia , Indonesia , Brunei , Thailand , Philipines and other neighbouring countries. I have noticed that activities of Tablighi Jamaat is on the rise in this region making a ground for Militant Islam. I am sorry to say that some of my Muslim Colleagues of Pakistani & Indian origin are also involved in it.
Moderate Muslims are provinding a strong base for Islamist voilence in future.
