As of now Al Qaeda and Taliban have not spread their tentacles within India because they are busy fighting Americans. But after the Americans leave they will not only physically enter India but recruit many Indians who may do it for ideology or money or both. And we all know that there are thousands if not lakhs who are just waiting for this opportunity. And don’t forget the Maoists who already have a support structure in the country and who may extend their support to Al Qaeda and Taliban to fight the govt. And no, this is not too far fetched. Maoists too do not believe in our democracy and want to overthrow our govt, like Pakistan, Taliban and Al Qaeda. It will then be nearly impossible for us to keep these terrorists in their defined physical spaces. The lines will keep getting blurred and will eventually vanish.

At an ideological level, in recent times Christians don’t kill Christians, Hindus don’t kill Hindus, Sikhs don’t kill Sikhs and Jews don’t kill Jews. They may have many ideological differences amongst themselves but they generally do not launch a kind of war on others from their own faiths. Sadly, this is not the case with Islam wherein scores of Muslims are murdered by other Muslims on a daily basis. At the second level you find the Muslims also to be on a warpath with Christians, Jews and Hindus too. Both these struggles have rendered the religion not only weak but also evolutionary bankrupt. There was a time when Islamic civilizations of the Middle East were far ahead of the Western empires of the time. That was the time when the very best in scientific and philosophical works were produced by Muslim thinkers. More tolerance for different religious beliefs could be found in Muslim lands than just about anywhere else on this planet. Just look around now and you’ll see that exactly the opposite is true. No creative inventions, works or research can be found forthcoming from Muslim lands. Creativity is being stifled if not being killed.

At the outset let me clarify that this is neither run of the mill routine statement nor is it meant to create any panic amongst Indians. This is a feeling which I get after considering all the developments within India and in the Af-Pak region as well. Like I said there is no need to panic but there is definitely a need to be aware of the situation and people around us. Now here are the reasons why I make this stupid prediction.

This has got to stop. Israel has made it’s point. Everyone including Hamas have more or less understood that they cannot mess with them. They might be saying whatever but in their heart of hearts leadership of Hamas would have understood quite clearly that they cannot deny Israelis their ‘Right to Exist’. And now Israel has got to stop this bloodsh

What an irony! I still can’t believe it. Pakis have actually squared up against Americans, of all the people in the world! They actually fired on the American choppers which were carrying American troops! Reports say that these American troops were launched for an assault on Al Qaeda and Taliban hideouts inside Pakistan. Not only [...]

No, they won’t. They will do everything possible to ensure that Americans and their supporters suffer as much loss as possible. They [...]
