There is a saying in Konkani which says,KELEM TUKAM PUN ZALEM MHAKAM”. This was what has happened to Pakistan resulting in the killing at Peshawar over one hundred fifty school children by the Muslim terrorist group Taliban.
Let me first condemn the brutal killing of innocent school children by the heartless Muslim terrorists under the umbrella of Taliban. Though they are Muslims yet their act is unislamic because such BARBARIC unislamic acts are forbidden in Islam. These terrorists acted like Zionits, in fact Zionists are far better but not these Talibans. It creates a very bad image of the Islam that these terrorists are projecting thus giving a bad opinion of Islam which otherwise is a good religion.
Islam is a great religion but its greatness is damaged by the Muslim terrorists and their organizations. It is the same Pakistan that supported, promoted and pampered all the segments of terrorists to fight against India since a long time now without realizing that the same terrorists one day will act against the Pakistani government and Pakistani society.
In mid sixties it was the Muslim Arabs initiated support and base to the Palestinian Arab terrorists to carry out with terrorism thru Aircraft hijacking and bombing of Israeli and Western interests. Finally the same Muslim Arab terrorists turned their guns towards their own benefactors. For example, when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, PLO and overwhelming majority of Palestinians residing in Kuwait turned against Kuwait and embraced the invading Iraqis even by collaborating with Iraqis inspite of receiving so much of help for their movement and survival from Kuwait.
Coming back to Pakistan and terrorism there, Pakistan must open and broaden the doors of education to all the segments of Pakistani society very forcefully. Terrorist organizations like Muslim Taliban is against the female education but they forget the fact that Islam gives highest priority to education when it says “To acquire education one must go even to China”. The Peshawar killing of innocent school children is just against the doctrine of Islam. The sensible Muslims and Islamic scholars must raise their voices in unison against all the Muslim terrorist organizations that promote unislamic ideology in the name of Islam. Islam is a good, compassionate and peaceful religion but its image is soiled in the eyes of non-Muslims by the Muslim terrorists only. The enemy of Islam is within its own fold.
