No. Not a moderate statement in response to a not very moderate incident which will receive moderate secular attention in which everything and everyone will be blamed other than the violent vengeful ideology of Islam which is the trigger for this sort of immoderate incidentSanjay M wrote:Mr Moderator, I am afraid that I do not regard that as being a very moderate statement.shiv wrote:Please do not say anything to harm the secular fabric of the country. Terrorists have no religion. Terrorists come from any religion. I have reason to suspect that "a certain neighboring country" has ill will towards India. But we believe in peace and friendship. Our secular credentials are second to none. I am sure it is the RSS or BJP who have done this in the name of "Indian Mujahiddeen" just to give a bad name to a certain community
Why would you say that RSS/BJP have committed such a bombing? It is statements like these which give Indian "secularism" a bad name, since those proclaiming themselves as secularists often make the most unreasonable allegations, based on the flimsiest reasoning.
I am an atheist, but I do not regard the so-called "Indian secularism" to be real secularism, as it is practiced all over the world. In India, "secularism" has been reduced to Hindu-bashing, and has destroyed its own credibility. Wanton accusations that RSS/BJP would have done such things is an example of what Indian "secularism" has deteriorated into.
Calling a spade a spade is not dharmic or Indic I guess. Did someone suggest that the indics had got it all right and there is no room for learning a few tricks from others?
