Once again the blatant use of the words like Islamic terrorism and Muslim terrorists has angered me. That people do not find it offensive, is strange. I need answers for the following queries:
1. Why the Irish Republican Army (IRA) that indulged in bombing in UK and the deadly Basque separatists in Spain never termed as Christian terrorists or Protestant/Catholic terrrorists?
2. Why the LTTE that is Hindu (Tamil is their language and ethnicity) and has killed thousands of innocents including head of states in Sri Lanka besides destroying Buddhist teples never dubbed as Hindu terrorist outfit?
3. The killers of Hiroshima or Nagasaki are just not remembered as terrorists.
4. The massacre of thousands of Muslims in Bosnia was never termed Christian terrorism, why?
5. The murders by Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Christian outfits are never linked to religion but only when a criminal is Muslim the entire community is associated. Why the words like Muslim terrorist and Islamic terrorism used in media.
Such irresponsible and highly derogatory term is used frequently by mainstream, self-styled liberal media all over the world. And even the Muslim intelligentsia does not protest! Strange!
