I was reading recent reports of a pastor in usa,who planned to burn 1000 copies of quran on 11th september and i couldn't help myself wondering,how can this happen in a country that prides itself to be the doyen and protector of democracy around the world.How can someone issue such outrageous,blatant and inflammatory statements,especially someone in the united states but the more cause of concern was the support that pastor had.Yes!!no one in the govt. was interested in taking the pastor head on and were just content issuing lame statements like........its not good for america,u will endanger lives of our people,etc etc.Imagine had this happened in our country!!!Granted we have had our share of riots and all but they were old times,before the so called information age.But here i am not going to defend india and defame usa,i am gonna talk about what is 'logical' and how any of us have no control over it.
Ok lets take usa first.For some time now it has followed the big stick policy of being the international policeman,with the 'stated' aim of ending dictatorship and ushering in democracy around the world and most of us,courtesy cnn,bbc etc actually believe it to be true!!!.But don't we know that usa supports one of the biggest monarchy or lets say dictatorship in the world,yes,saudi arabia.Egypt is a dictatorship no matter what they claim.Most of the countries of south america have puppet rulers,even when they had elections and chose their representatives,most of them were removed by CIA sponsored coups.They did the same thing in iran that culminated in the Islamic revolution of 1979.And since then as iran stopped supporting usa in any of its endeveors,it was declared as an evil state,threat to the world peace,harbour of criminals and so on.They attacked iraq on the same pretext and we all know what they found there.........NOTHING........ .Yes its true that saddam hussein was no saint,he mercilessly killed anyone who opposed him but atleast fot the past 10 years or so iraq was seen largely as a peaceful nation.And look at it now,shattered,destroyed with children dying on the streets having nothing to eat,people beaten up in their own country by nato soldiers.And this nation claims to be the savior of people!!!come on people,u got to wake up.
Coming back to the question of religious tolerance..........what the fuck do westerners know about it??i mean usa has only 5 % minorities,among that only .6% of muslim people.India has got 15-16% muslims and still we have been living peacefully(except godhra)...for centuries.Whtevr clashes we have had is due to the shear size of minorities,i mean its not .6%,,,,its substantial enough and if u have two major religions so close to each other and in big numbers its bound to create problems.But whats america's problem????Is it just by chance that they have attacked only the muslim countries,or is it the new age crusade???
From all the discussion above it is certain that usa claims about being protector of democracy are a blatant lie,helped by the fact that no one has courage to disagree with it let alone oppose it.And who knows maybe even european union is also enjoying cheap iraqi oil and thinks being silent will serve it good.But make no mistake fellows,,,,,,,,usa maybe good for its own people but considering its actions elsewhere it is no different from a terrorist.
