Mumbai Terrorists Succeed
The Mumbai terror attacks have left some deep scars. In terms of numbers, perhaps more Pakistanis are dying every day; but as it is, Mumbai is turning out to be more significant. India and Pakistan are back to rhetoric, and indeed, back from the brink of a war! Progress made in the past few years are gone in a few days. That event is tending to divide the Muslims and the Hindus in India. Many Muslims are apologetic about crimes that they did not participate in, and had nothing to do with except as a victim. Pakistani seems to have become an abuse. (Not so long ago Obama was “smeared” by the horribly offensive term- “Muslim,” against which he rightfully protested; but did not do the right thing by saying- “(No I’m not), but why would that be a bad thing?.”) We have these beer drinking terrorists- who they are, what they want we do not know. We have these people who are confused. We have other political entities who benefit from our loss and others’ loss. The terrorists seem to have won the battle. We have to win the war.
Du’a is the least we can do. Today, as three million Muslims stand at Mecca, we can make du’a for ourselves, and make du’a for them, and for everybody in the Ummah, and for every person in the whole wide world.
Eid Wishes, y’all.

There is no sense in war for no one wins. All that will be left is dead bodies, hatred, broken families, angry countries ready to label each other : Like the incident of the Delhi girl being called “Pakistani”.
Mother Teresa never used negatives to talk of world catastrophes. She never said Anti-terror. She said freedom from terror Taking from her, this so called “War” against terrorism should be renamed to something more positive and motivational. Something like: “Movement for World Peace and Humanity.”
What say you?
Good point UmmeAaiman,
However I did not use the word war in it’s literal sense. I used it to indicate the constant struggle we have to go through against wrong.
It is true that the word anti-terror is derived from the word terror. It is also true that our goal should be more than just fighting terror. In fact in order for us to fight terror successfully, we need to work on other fronts like making people’s lives easier etc.
