BJP’s Dhimmitude
September 11, 2010 # 2:55 am # Blog # No Comment
The BJP vice-president – Kalraj Mishra - recently claimed that the party has been “opposed to the use of the term Islamic terrorism as it causes prejudice and suspicion against an entire community”.
This is all because of sheer lack of knowledge about Islam as well as Hinduism. True, there are violent extremists from Hinduism. LTTE – a separatist and terror outfit from Sri Lanka – was called by some [misleaders] from media as “Hindu terrorists” much before Saadhvi Pragya and Col. Purohit hit media headlines. Though there have been no concrete – only “circumstantial” – evidences against these “Saffron Terrorists” the media’s anxiousness to BRAND them as “terrorists” has been baffling – to say the least.
However, what is IMPORTANT TO NOTE is that: these “Saffron terrorists” weren’t found quoting Hindu scriptures to justify their acts – if at all. Contrary to this, Islamists, or Islamic Terrorists, have been frequently quoting verses from Koran, Sira and Hadith – better put Islam’s Trilogy – to justify their acts of violence(s). In case of Islamic terorirists their inspiration is their triology; there is not one Hindu “terrorist” who’s quoting his’ to justify his violence.
Given this, isn’t it appropriate to resolve that: while it is RIGHT to use the term “Islamic terrorists” it’s completely illogical to term “Hindu Terrorists” or “Saffron Terrorists”?
It’s important that the ONLY Hindu-nationalist party of India educate itself of this fact and, thereby, shun it’s DHIMMITUDE. Ignorance is NOT a bliss – anymore.
