Islam,Terrorism and Jihad
Let the cosmopolitan spirit of Mumbai defeat the forces of darkness
By S A H RIZVI

Notwithstanding these verbal assurances and cosmetic changes, it is high time to act and only time will tell how far the government is successful. “There is no room for politics”, says my friend Sirajuddin Qureshi, President of the India Islamic Cultural Centre but adds with disappointment `our political dispensation could not come together even at this critical juncture”

Siraj is right as people are slowly loosing faith in the political system, faith in the administration. The political class must strengthen the system and restore faith of the people by reforming itself than to indulge in petty bickering, is the general refrain.

In the mayhem of Mumbai terror attack, the citizen of this nation stood together, united to face the brunt. In the darkness that permeated all around during the siege of Mumbai and thereafter, there was a silver lining nonetheless.

Where everything failed, our security, our intelligence network our establishment, the spirit of Mumbai once again prevailed. This is where the terrorists from across the border failed in their nefarious design, a plan that unarmed citizens of the city thwarted.
