:Thats a very simplistic assesment. The problem is much deeper and such an attitude of shrugging away serious matters on the basis of cooked up theories is instrumental for such issues never being resolved.sureshot said:
Don't think I am having a go at you personally, but I would really prefer the vast majority of people, particularly those in countries that have not been greatly affected by terrorism until recently, to delve deeper into the causes of this menace, because only through understanding can we reach a solution.
News reports on the basis of preliminary investigations suggest that this was a handiwork of the Lashkar-e-Tayeba, a cross-border terrorist organization, which has linkages with Al-Qaeda and has been active in civilian murders for a number of years.Bilal91 said:

I think the Indian PM got it spot on when he said it was a cowardly act.

I didn't delve into it to much I was just pointing out one of the reasons why they do the horrific things they do.
Personally, I can't see how a solution can be met.
They say western interference, but the US will never stop supplying funds to Israel nor will they pull out of Iraq immediately.
It's a big problem that seems to be getting worse, unfortunately some governments aren't doing their bit to help. Infact I can't think of one country who is doing everything right.

It is indeed very sad. But personally I hate the term "Muslim Extremists/Terrorists".Terror is never related to any religion.They are some sick mind who mix the two for their own good.The teachings of all religions point towards love to human race but these have been mangled by these people.The people who died were simple, hardworking people, they were civillians.Terrorism is a war against common people.

This is by far the worst statement by any leader
NEW DELHI (AFP) - India slammed rival Pakistan for linking their decades-old disputes over Kashmir to the wave of bomb attacks on rush-hour trains that killed 200 in the country's financial hub Mumbai.

"We find it appalling that (Pakistan) Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri should seek to link this act of terror to the lack of resolution of the dispute between India and Pakistan," Indian foreign ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna said.
"His remarks appear to suggest that Pakistan will cooperate with India against the scourge of terrorist violence only if the so-called disputes are resolved. Terrorism cannot be tolerated on any ground whatsoever and no cause justifies the murder of innocents," Sarna told reporters.
"We would hope that the government of Pakistan rejects any such linkage and joins hands together with India to defeat the forces of terrorism."
Kasuri, in comments to an Indian television station on Tuesday's bombings, called on India to resolve its dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir -- the subject of two of the three wars between the nuclear-armed rivals.
"...If you have these disputes, it enables negative forces in both the countries to blame the other country and exploit the sentiment and one cannot be certain," Kasuri told CNN-IBN.
"So I think we should try and take advantage of this improved atmosphere (between India and Pakistan) and resolve outstanding differences particularly the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir," the Pakistani foreign minister said in Washington.
Sarna said Islamic militants continued to operate from Pakistan despite Islamabad's promise that it will not allow its soil to be used as a springboard for attacks against India.
"We urge Pakistan to take urgent steps to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on the territory under its control," the Indian spokesman added.
In Islamabad, the Pakistani foreign ministry said Kasuri's comments had been taken out of context.
"The foreign minister had emphatically and unequivocally condemned the terrorist attack in Mumbai yesterday," the ministry said in a statement.
"At no stage did the foreign minister talk about a connection between (the) Mumbai terrorist attack and the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
"Pakistan does not tolerate terrorism and is in the forefront of international efforts to fight this menace," the statement added.
At least 714 people, mostly commuters, were injured in the attacks on the rush-hour trains in the western Indian city.
RIP the poor souls

What if the terrorist is Hindu or Christian or any other religion? Is terrorism in their eyes still a religious act for Islam? Or do such religions not produce terrorists?manee said:

Please keep away from this aspect of the discussion, or the thread will be closed.sohummisra said:
Although that can be answered emphatically by a simple analysis of avaliable statistics, let us heed what Andrew has said, and stay away from religious conversations. I would however exhort you to do some further research on this matter, stepping out of bondages imposed by so-called "political correctness".sohummisra said:
Further discussions on this matter via PM or instant messenging!
