** Resolution ? **

Last week, in one of the Muslim conventions held in Uttar Pradesh, India - the Ulemahs, have condemned terrorism. From what I read in the newspaper, The Hindu, it is clear that just a resolution was passed condemning terrorism and most of the speakers spoke in length about the 'atrocities' met out to the 'minorities' and in condemning the Govt and the policies. None of the speaker, reportedly, spoke against terrorism or Jihad. Possibly they just passed a resolution without having spoken a word against the atrocities that are being committed in the name of "Jihad". And unfortunately all the newspaper claim this as a major step forward !!

As long as we have a Govt in the centre that fears talking against Jihad and taking strict measures against Terrorists - its going to be a loss-loss situation for the nation. Govt fears that talking against terrorism will be construed as words against Muslims !! Doesn't such a stand implicate the Muslims as terrorists?? When will we have people at helm who see issues as issues and not as 'Vote' banks??
