IS Islamic Terrorism juxtaposes ISLAM ?

The word Islam which is believed to be derived from the word "salaam" meaning peace but currently it seems that is derived from terror just opp. of what said earlier.And a new word has been created i.e Islamic terrorism while forgetting the true meaning of Islam.This has happened to such an extent that  after seeing a beard person first thing which comes in mind is something like extremism or terror.This certainly has created a black spot on Muslim community and now this phenomenon not confined to any boundaries but can be seen globally truly justified  by the statements of German chancellor , UK PM,France president saying repeatedly about the failure of multiculturalism .
             Now coming to the main point ,that mostly radical groups of Muslims responsible for damaging the image of Muslims has their motivation from jihad kind of feeling mostly because of actions of USA i.e unconditional support to Israel,invasion of Iraq.Afghanistan etc.So the core of the phenomenon lies in the word "JIHAD" which according to Islam means Struggle for Peace and Harmony ,now has been transformed into the Struggle for unfair treatment to Muslims and mainly pointed to US and some European countries.
         So in my view due to this misinterpretation of the word the whole Muslim community is facing the consequences for it.Recent examples of a Muslims persons arrested in mecca blast mostly working on reputed positions now acquitted are selling fruits with a tag of terrorism.Although CM apologized but that cant compensate their loss and  it also tells reality of secularism of which India beat the drums globally. Mr. Obama  when goes to china talks about Universal Human Rights of Chinese but first he himself has to see his collar about what he has done to muslims after 9/11 , humiliation , unwarranted arrests,sub-human status showing dogmatic behavior .
                      Also there must be a setback for those who only sees terrorism only related to Islam with the introduction of the word Saffron Terrorism.But the contrast is that RSS is trying its best to protect those prosecuted but nobody came when 20 innocent  muslims  arrested in the same bomb blast done by Hindutva group.Recent example of Norway bomber ,until it is not known the he is a white person fingers are pointed at Muslims and various country head repeated their commitments of  fighting Islamic terrorism but after knowing reality it is  interesting to see now that to whom against they will fight now bcoz it is result of their acts as the bomber was a Muslim hating  white person and that rage of Islamophobia has been created by their corresponding govts.So the phrase now needs eradication"All Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims". 
         Now the solution to the problem is not in the disenfranchisement of Muslims as said by a eminent Harvard scholar and Janta party president Mr. Swamy but in the implementation of Universal Human Rights and raising voices globally is any injustice done to any Muslim.For the Short term countries should ensure that incidents likes of Iraq and Afghanistan should not happen( may not be pragmatic but also not impossible),bcoz in those clashes those  who suffers the most are innocent Muslims.The persons killed by Al-Qaeda attacks is many times less than that of killed in attempt to kill Laden in Iraq and Afghanistan.And for the long term we should not go against these groups brutally but making  them realize nothing unfair is done to Muslims by properly implementing Right to Equality universally .So there is a great need to make a chasm between between Islam and terrorism as these words are nowhere related to each other.Even after that some bad elements or groups will remain but they can rooted after the World knows the reality that terror has no face and has nothing to do with any religion or community.

64 YRS OF INDEPENDENCE

                                  
After 64 yrs of independence what we see is two completely different aspects of INDIA that is on one side it stands behind the corporates to have a stand in world economy and on the other side it leaves its lower class to impoverish and treats them in a sub-human way thereby building a unbridgeable chasm between them. It's not a rare sight for us seeing manual scavengers, lakhs of people toil along dirt wages,no common taps or utensils for dalits and if they asserted then treated with violence,dalit children fed seperately in schools ,killing of women foetus, harassment of widowed ,farmers doing suicides and minorities facing discrimination to such an extent that their children now learnt that god is unkind to them. 
                There is so much hype and euphoria about GDP growth but bangladesh having half of GDP per capita is better in demographic numbers clearly showing stashing of GDP funds.The youth which seems to be so much active on social networking seems nothing obscene when builders building lakhs of houses and stills lakhs are living in slums( bcoz cities not planned for poor instead of knowing that cant survive a single day without cheap labour). The current thinking of youth does not go beyond cricketing success,latest phones and seems to be anaxious about CWG hosting but has nothing to do with rottening of food grains  . So the same which Heart swells up seeing oscars ,froze seeing slums,person sleeping on pavements.
               We are living with smokescreen  of secularism in our country bcoz muslims stills are most backward community and people stills have same prejudice and stereotypes attached to them. Further kandhmal riots,godhra riots tells the reality of secularism.Still any religion attire can get you in trouble and you think twice before wearing it.
               Public money is stashed away in safe heavens and plundered by the politicians.There is nexus between corporates , executives and politicians each utilising the system to their benefit and bcoz of this nexus judiciary fails to prosecute them thus making a mockery of the whole system.The security is described by this home minister statement "There havent been a bomb blast in mumbai for last two years".and the list goes onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn............................
             What we can say there is some optimism in the field of economy but that guarentees more money to government not the devlopment of country which will come only if this money is utilised in proper channels.
At the moment what we are doing now is building oasis of wealth in between a desert of wants.......
