Mumbai: Terror attacks in India

It was a horrible morning today. When you start the day with a shocking news like "terrorist attack in Mumabi", it has to be a horrible morning. Inspite of being 1000+ km away from Mumbai and hardly knowing anyone who got affected by this massacre, it was shocking to hear that a secular country like India which has a history to absorb and give respect to all the people who come from outside, is being attacked.

It's shocking that a religion which is at-least 1300 plus year old and has a rich heritage is going down in drains rather than evolving and growing. The common man whether in India or in Western countries is at the receiving end for no fault because of extremist thinking of a group of people.

I hate this fear. I feel I am not safe in any corner of the world. What mistake I did, I really don't know. I want to live and let others live happily. Is it too much to ask for? Do I need to part of any religion to understand such a basic need of human kind that everyone want to live and let other live happily?

It's so difficult to understand that a religion can push you to destroy the human race. A philosophy or thinking can not be termed as religion if it motivates you to do a massacre like this or works as a catalyst to provoke you to remove the man kind.

Those who does advocacy of the religion when the religion is termed as a "Terror Religion" should stand up and take the responsibility of such gruesome attack on man-kind and if they cannot do anything to stop this, they should keep silent when people say that one of the religion of this world is a "Terror Religion".

May the soul of all the people who died in Mumbai yesterday rest in piece.
