World Trade Center Bombing

Share

An Egyptian religious fanatic group has been linked to the massive bombing of the World Trade Center. The person arrested happened to be a Muslim. In that bomb blast five innocent lives have been lost and more than 1,000 Americans have been injured. Millions of dollars worth business have been lost. This act of terrorism must be condemned without second thought. Militancy and terrorism are the tools of sick people and such individuals or groups need to be weeded out from the civilized world. Like all other religious fanatics, these Muslims militants have done great harm to their own religion by taking the lives of innocent human beings, against the teaching of Islam and also in the holy month of Ramadan. They must be punished for their sinful act, as per the rules of the land.

After saying that, we would like to request the civilized Western World to take a second look on the sufferings of Muslims in this new world. Like any other human beings, Muslims of Bosnia, Palestine, India, Russia and the Persian Gulf countries deserve equal justice, fairness and human rights to live with honor and dignity. Also, they want to enjoy freedom and democracy instead of ruthless dictatorship from their rulers and double standards from the United Nations. It would be wrong to ignore their cry.
