Why is it necessary for ordinary Muslims to speak up?

Eid Mubarak!

Why is it necessary for ordinary Muslims to speak up?

Every Muslim is as much a citizen of India as anyone else and definitely does not have to defend either the Muslim community in India or Islam.

Nevertheless, it is important to make people of other communities realize that Muslims too are angry a) about terrorists spoiling the image of Islam, and b) as well as maybe somehow conveying that there is some Muslim sympathy (not support) for their attacks.

So when an ordinary Muslim citizen does not speak up:

1. It increases the perception gap and emotional distance between them and other communities

2. It does not strengthen the Government's resolve to take suitable action against terrorist networks, both internally and internationally

3. It does not convey clearly and unequivocally to Muslims in other countries that Muslims in India are proud of being Indians, of living in India and of India itself, as one of the most secular countries in the world, not withstanding lots of problems, including inter-community problems.

There is clearly a lack of leadership today in India, and I feel that it is the ordinary Muslim who can spur the creation of a new leadership for the country by uniting the country even more strongly, by expressing this view and by showing that we are all one and the same Indian.

Furthermore, I would be interested in also hearing what the ordinary Pakistani has to say.

I am absolutely not interested in hearing the opinions of religious or political or high-profile social leaders, because their opinions are already available. I am also not interested in any quote from the Quran, because it is very clear in my mind that the Quran cannot advocate or support such activity.

For any issue where a group carries out a (negative) action, either by claiming they have done it on behalf of their religion, or it appears that they have done it on behalf of their religion (including Hindus, Christians, etc.), I think it is extremely important for ordinary citizens of that religion to speak out strongly about their own true opinions.

LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER
Dear Mr. Prime minister
I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that.

Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India.

Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima.

We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.

Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn't it?

I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will.

Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.

If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule.

Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn't even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person.

Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.

Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?

फूलो से कह दो महकना बंद कर दे, की उनकी महक की कोई जरूरत नही....
सितारो से कह दो चमकना बंद कर दे, की उनकी चमक की कोई जरूरत नही....
भवरो से कह दो अब ना गुनगुनाये, की उनकी गुंजन की कोई जरुरत नही....
सागर की लहरे चाहे तो थम जाये, की उनकी भी कोई जरुरत नही....
सुरज चाहे तो ना आये बाहर्, की उसकी किरणो की भी जरुरत नही....
चाँद चाहे तो ना चमके रात भर, की उसके आने की भी जरुरत नही....
वो जो आ गये हैं इस जहाँ में, तो दुनिया मे और किसी खूबसूरती की जरुरत ही नही ..

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है,

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है,

ना मा, बाप, बहन, ना यहा कोई भाई है..

हर लडकी का है Boy Friend, हर लडके ने Girl Friend पायी है,

चंद दिनो के है ये रिश्ते, फिर वही रुसवायी है.

घर जाना Home Sickness कहलाता है,

पर Girl Friend से मिलने को टाईम रोज मिल जाता है.

दो दिन से नही पुछा मां की तबीयत का हाल,

Girl Friend से पल-पल की खबर पायी है,

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है…..

कभी खुली हवा मे घुमते थे,

अब AC की आदत लगायी है.

धुप हमसे सहन नही होती,

हर कोई देता यही दुहाई है.

मेहनत के काम हम करते नही,

इसीलिये Gym जाने की नौबत आयी है.

McDonalds, PizaaHut जाने लगे,

दाल-रोटी तो मुश्कील से खायी है.

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है…..

Work Relation हमने बडाये,

पर दोस्तो की संख्या घटायी है.

Professional ने की है तरक्की,

Social ने मुंह की खायी है.

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है
