I plead with all to generously not to break the forum rules for I have never the motive to be critical about the faiths of any particular people or believers. In point of fact it is simply the generalization, not the criticism against any particular faiths.
All I mean to say is what we are doing in the name of religion is not good and no acts of terrorism is good at all.
For instance Islam is a wonderful religion, and I am very moved by the devotions the Muslims live by. But at the same time terrorism is often associated with Islamic faiths or indoctrination. That is not good, and so is some Hindu fundamentalists too are associated with it. Ordinary Muslims and Hindus are good and behave rationally and when they are moved by the Fundamentalist idea they become unruly and fanatics.
