Riots in France: Spain, Muslims and Sanghis of India

France burnt and the Islamophobes laughed. The self-proclaimed intellectuals (read right-wing) in Europe and India are celebrating.

It is like saying, "Didn't we tell you that these Muslims were all terrorists and you were not listening". Luny fringe is in hysteria and the xenophobes have got a great opportunity to brand the Muslims as terrorists, again.

In fact, their Indian counterparts--Prafull Goradia and Sandhya Jain--appear overwhelmed. Poor columnists don't know it is not Islam Vs France. It is poverty and disparity crying for attention.

The French intelligence report has now confirmed that riots had nothing to do with Islam. The politicians hadn't seen the writing on the wall. The French will now change, adjust, and may take remedial measures.

The Muslims are now 10 million in France and are there to stay. The Sanghis need not go hysteric. It is early. The Muslims can't be thrown out of any country in this age and era.

The RSS does like to replicate the experiment of Inquisition when the Muslims were killed and expelled from Spain in 15th century. But the Spain from where the Sanghis get all inspiration has also changed a lot.

The mosques now dot the landscapes of Cordoba, Granada and all cities in Spain. Do they know Barcelona had more than 1 lakh Muslims when last counted. Most Muslims like a majority of Hindus and Christians are peace loving.

And they are live amicably in Western countries. Our homegrown fascists needn't worry about the affairs of France and the riots in Paris. It is a social issue and they will take care of it. We have much more serious problems.

The columnists who are drawing sadistic pleasure should come out of their make-believe world. The early they do it, the better it is for them.
