Cause and Detect
Posted by alamgirKabir Aug 11, 2005 11:10 pm
“I do not feel your pain. I have to admit that I do not have any sympathy for you. I cannot feel anything for you, because you are a non-believer”.

A brilliant analysis Mr. Dasgupta. Take Islam out of this world, there will not be these suicide bombings. Indonesia occupied East Timor - a Christian Land. They killed 200,000 in conflicts there. We did not see any compassionate Muslim go and blow the Indodenesian army. Neither did we see any Christian from Europe or any other country go there and suicide bomb the Indonesian army. Nor did any Christian attack, the Indonesian capital.
Jab Mr. Singh Ko Gussa Charta Hai

Dr. Singh is politician of great foresight. It`s is who he put India in the right track towards progress after almost 45 years of stagnation under socialist economic policy. And it appears that the majority of sensible and good citizens of India have absorbed his speech well except for some of the hardcore partiots, communists and possibly 99% Muslims.

Hers is what this author says of the British Raj in India:

``Another salient point that must be understood is: despite being largely an economically exploitative and often suppressive, the British Raj instituted a system of educational and cultural intellectualism that allowed the blooming of all the literary and scientific achievements, which the people of the sub-continent are proud of today and would continue to be proud of for a long time to come. Those Nobel laureates, the great literary giants like Tagore, Nazrul and Allama Iqbal and the other famous scientists of the subcontinents, including Professor Abdus Salam, were groomed by an educational and intellectual culture which was instituted solely by the stewardship of the British rulers. This glorious phase of intellectuality in India has largely died off, since the British have left. The Dhaka University, once known as the “Oxford of the East”, has now lost all its prestige as an eminent educational institution with severely fallen standard in every discipline of studies. The Qaide-e-Azam University of Pakistan, which was a vibrant campus for intellectual exercise and science education, has become nothing but a University of theological interest. So is the case with the famous Muslim-administered Aligarh University in India.``

Mr. Bhullar seem to put all the blame on the British for all their won failures such as corruptions, this is just a way of unloading the blame of failures on scapegoats. Please read the essay. There are minor discrepencies but overall, the author has summarized things well. Surely, this essay will infuriate Muslims in general - well, suicide bombing is their favorite weapons.
