Muslims in Trouble

I fully agree with the views expressed by Karanvir Mehta. It is a shame on our society that such biased feelings should prevail in Bengal but, at the same time, I support Radheshyam when he points out that the actual problem has to be sorted out by the educated section of the Muslim community itself. They must initiate steps to investigate what sort of education is being imparted in the madrasas. They must form a committee or forum and visit all the madrasas in the state to find out what is actually being taught there. As far as I can recall, the Bengal Chief Minister, Shri Bhattacharya, had categorically stated when he became the CM, that several madrasas in Murshidabad district were harbouring terrorists and storing arms, and would initiate steps to stop those unlawful activities. But, for some unknown reasons (read not to disturb the vote bank), those steps were never taken.
The situation has now gone out of control. No Hindu person will believe or trust any Muslim, no matter how educated he may be. It is now the responsibility of the educated and well-intentioned Muslims to take the matter in their own hands and erase the stigma labelled on them for the criminal and anti national activities of a few.
