So Mr. Tariq, a million billion thanks to you for informing us that there is no such thing as "Islamic" terrorism anywhere in the world. We, the ignorant, always believed that the suicide bombers in Palestine, or the killers in Kashmir, or the terrorists who have infested various parts of India ( and indeed, the world), have done so in the cause of Allah.

Of course, you would quote the Koran, chapter and verse to prove your point, even when the reality on the ground does not match anything that has been said or written in this great book. The fact, Mr.Tariq, is that people may have allowed themselves to be fooled by this talk of "no Islamic terrorism"a few years ago, to-day, however it is no longer possible to fool the people at large by this glib talk. Sad but true.

Jaisingh Thakur.
