Mumbai's three day tryst with Terror

The recent terror incidences at the city of Mumbai has not only created an uproar in the city but a nation wide vendetta towards all acts of terror. It makes one wonder what really propels the minds of the people behind these acts. What blinding, all consuming faith ignites their mind, body and soul and demands the sacrifice of innocent lives. The Deccan Mujahideen who took responsibility for these acts is yet another organization contributing to terror and mayhem in our society. I always thought religion was supposed to teach one the difference between right and wrong and make us better people. Recent events definitely tell me otherwise. Surely Islam does not preach causing unprecedented terror in the world or taking innocent lives and yet these self proclaimed Jehadis continue to shed blood, their own and of others– for what–to gain control over Kashmir, Hyderabad or Junagadh. This incident has caused political upheaval in India creating more chaos and the blame-game is on. The real heroes are our Armed forces and the police, many of whom have died protecting Mumbai from the wrath of terror. In the wake of recent happenings I want to salute the armed forces, the police, the staff at Taj and all others who helped end the 3 day tryst with terror and sincerely hope that the ugly face of terror vanishes from our society.
