A Fundamentalist Muslim

Just read a comment by Mr. Bal Thackeray " Fundamentalist Muslim is the biggest threat to India."

Just a quick recall of the real definition of Fundamentalism -

fun·da·men·tal·ism (fnd-mntl-zm)

n.

1. A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.

2.

a. often Fundamentalism An organized, militant Evangelical movement originating in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century in opposition to Protestant Liberalism and secularism, insisting on the inerrancy of Scripture.

b. Adherence to the theology of this movement.

Mr. Thackeray, with all due respect, I beg to differ on your statement. India today is equally threatened by the "in-house" home-grown fundamentalists like you. The only contribution that you have made to Indian politics is to induce the acts of regional violences. The gorilla warfare driven by local "Hindu Fundamentalists" is creating a schism in local psychology..

I think "influential" politicos like you cant be myopic and biased in making statements like these.. Fundamentalism cant be a one-faced coin.. If you dare to call some-one a "north indian" or a "marathi" you are being equally fundamentalistic as any other pro-terror Muslim..

You, Mr. Thackeray, i think, with all the limited days left in your life, have a bigger task in hand, supporting causes which are for the greater good of greater number of people. Shivsena as we know is done and dusted in recent polls..

You need to move on from the petty Valentine Day Protests, marathi/Non-marathi, anti-muslim issues. Making mumbai and maharashtra is a marathi ghetto wont help the cause of anyone.. Neither yours.

Salam India.
