Suspects in Dehli bombings killed in gunfight

From Soch Mel

So this article I came across by in CNN international refers to the terrorism acts that are taking place in particular India. As we all know India is a predominately Hindu Republic, but tensions between the Muslim and the Hindus have been on going ever since the division of British India into the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. However at least 200 million plus people in India are Muslim and they often live side by side with Hindus. The main reason why India was divided was so that the Muslim voice would not be overshadowed by the Hindu voice. And sadly there appears to be no easy solution to this problem as these religious tensions have been going on for decades but has gain momentum with the increase fear of Muslim terrorists.

The investigation of the Delhi Bombings lead officials to a neighborhood in South Delhi. Fun fact, when Delhi was the capital of British India, Delhi was a predominately Muslim city. However, the was some gunfire shot and the suspects were killed. They were members of a group known as the Mujahedeen. This group claims responsibility for bombings that hit busy marketplaces in New Delhi last week, with 24 people dead and wounding about 100 more.

These acts have been done before in India including the city of Jaipur. The Mujahedeen declared "open war" against India for its support of US policies as well as the suppression and inhuman treatment of Muslims in general.

I will definitely say Islam and Hinduism are two every different and polar opposite in terms of religious belief and tradition. So it would be no surprise that there is tension because Islam's goal is to spread the word of Allah (God), but Hinduism is not like that at all. It is much more loose and diverse yet is still very spiritual, and if I may add a bit more sexually free.

I would hope that there can be peace between the Muslims and the Hindus of India, but religion is the ultimate complicate and no side will back down. I do understand the feelings of the Muslim in India, but at the same time I do not believe acts of violent are ever appropriate. "Jihad" does not mean war, it means struggle against! I feel that any group like the Mujahedeen shouldn't use religion as a cloak to their war on India; sometimes the issue is deeper.

So this article is not at all long, but I think it is worth taking a look into. My specialty is anything relating to the Far East, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. So watch out for my future posts on international new from Asia.
