I hate to say, but until Shiite and Sunni Muslims stop killing each other in their own countries, the world can see Islam is a violent religion - or at least has extremely violent tendencies by a few uncontrollable members. Until they stop their crazies, Muslims should not be allowed in non-Muslim countries.

It would be unfair to generalize and make such a comment.India has over 150 million muslims - many of my friends and colleagues are muslims and they are all peace-loving people.There are elements in the muslims community that endorse the terrorists no doubt, but the rest should not be maligned due to a few.If we do that we alienate even the rest of the muslims and foster the environment that breeds further muslim-fundamentalism.People need prosperity and peace to rid themselves of the effects of fundamentalism.This can only be achieved by raising their standards of living and by literacy.

I hope this catastrophic event becomes an eye-opener and brings about greater levels of co-operation between India and Pakistan and also the west and the east.
