There was a casual conversation going on between a husband and his wife and amidst of discussing many things, husband said "Sometime you overreact". The wife got angry and said "What did you just say? you are being so unreasonable and inappropriate right now". Husband smiled.
Sometime our reaction to contradict a viewpoint ends up validating it. Its like someone is saying to you "you are a hot headed guy" and you got offended and slapped him. you just unknowingly proved his point.

Okay enough with the meticulous examples, I am writing this blog in response to what is going on recently in India and abroad. All Muslims are showing their outrage over an anti-Islamic movie Innocence of Muslims, made by an Egyptian-American. Some of the protesters went ahead and attacked US consulate in Libya which resulted in at least 14 deaths, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. In India around 1500 people from Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam and few other Muslims outfits targeted US general Consulate on Anna Salai in Chennai. They pelted it with stones, burnt American flags, damaged CCTV cameras, a police booth and instruction board for visitors.[News: The Hindu ]

The content of the film is indeed outrageously offensive and highly demeaning to a great religion like Islam and those behind this should be treated with hard hands, but to oppose whatever allegations being made in the film, people are doing the same and hence vindicating offenders.
Meticulous
ReplyDeleteAdjective: Showing great attention to detail; very careful and precise.
There are one and a half billion muslims in the world. A few hundreds reacted violently to a religiously insensitive video. You write "All Muslims are showing their outrage over an anti-Islamic movie Innocence of Muslims, made by an Egyptian-American".
ReplyDeleteFair? Worldwide muslim community ever since 9/11 still get a biased treatment because a subset of them is violent.
Outrage may be the strong word for what I meant to say resentment and indignation, which of course is obvious from anyone believing in Islam. But further I have clarified that there are only few people who went ahead and did show some violent activities. It should not be misunderstood. And I am all aware of the biased treatments and I have sympathies.
DeleteWrite longer you dolt!
ReplyDeleteYou could have posted it with your name on it. But anyway your comment made me laugh, I wish you can figure it out.
DeleteThis anonymous is clearly a dolt himself. He misses the theme of this post. Stupid himself, he proves it by his impertinent statements.
DeleteAnyways, as far as the post is concerned. Its quite meaningful. Dont we have that conversation some times in which we are so adamant on proving our point that ,we forget what we are stating and contradict our-self. Then also we dont retract. We continue to reason but to no use.
Chanchal might know it better ;)
