Moron, then what is according to Islam?

Killing in the name of Jihad??

Music is considered divine and thus opposition to divinity is devilish thing.

Pankaj of KL writes .... "Gar Firdaus (paradise) zamin ast, hami ast hami ast - said by emperor Jehangir about Kashmir."

Of course, for those living in the "heat and dust" of the Indian plains, Kashmir would appear to be paradise. So no surprise, since foreign travels by desis of all dispensation, including an emporer like Jehangir, was very very limited for all kinds of reasons. A frog in a well thinks it's well is the entire world on offer, including paradise. Of course, Kashmir is nice, it has it's own charm, like everywhere else it has it's own culture, like everywhere else some of it nice and some of it not so nice, but let us get over the hyperboles or real/imagined uniqueness in the world else reality will be hard to deal with.

On the larger point you make, personally, I think we are in for the long haul. The problem specific to India is that the global factors do matter as much and then locally there isn't a Muslim middle class increasing at a rate remotely close to say the overall middle class growth in India. So no bridge between the "liberal muslim" (I would hazard a guess of being a small elite group) and the aam-admi muslim. Then is the Indian cycle of "action-reaction" as a downward spiral.

The responsibility for fixing the issues within the Muslim communities squarely rests with them since the predicament they find themselves in is by and large self-inflicted - others might have had supportive role at most (unlike say SC/STs where the wider and better off population must take shared responsibility even if for the sins of our ancestors).

The question for others (me included) is - can we help to ease the fixing of the issues, i.e., help reforms (without diluting the responsibility of who has to reform) OR come in the way of fixing by cornering/badgering and reducing the oxygen available to those from within who could lead the reforms OR neither help nor hurt the chances of reform.

For me, I hope we choose the 1st (help) or last (neither help nor hurt) options. My view of course is that Hindutva represents the 2nd option - what I called cornering, badgering, and reducing the oxygen available to push for tough reforms (comparative culture to show one always in good light and the other in bad; comparative religion again for the same purpose; using not just local facts but global trends to say "see we are right" and stereotyping; justifying everything we do as a just reaction even if excessive as a justifiable response to actions - i.e., our reactions also become the responsibility of the other party rather than the one committing it; to keep harping on we were great once (some even go as far as claiming to be the greatest) and they are the reason of loss of that greatness and now also "in the way" of our renaissance and re-achieving greatness, etc. etc.).

REAL Muslims should know their fate if the country is run as per interpretations of koran by such AHMAK muftis.

Gar Firdaus (paradise) zamin ast, hami ast hami ast - said by emperor Jehangir about Kashmir.

This  Kahmir when run under influence of Fundoo Muslims, can be converted into a virtual living hell in 25 years; simply because of the "stunned silence of majority of peace-loving" Muslims.

Time to come on Streets by Liberal muslims similar to what Fundoos at Azad Maidan...Come on Talibanisation is happening in YOUR OWN country..

Well said, Omar!"

Unfortunately, as I understood from another article, this tweet was retracted/removed. So "Well said, Omar" for a few minutes (or if lucky a few hours) is more apropo. It now appears the writ of "morons" runs in J&K because the singers appear to also have made a safe/prudent choice of staying silent. If a CM cannot stand up, show backbone and spine .... how can three girls in high school.
