Dear Abdullah, i know that these are testing times for you. But remember that there still are people likeme in this world who are beyond religion. I live in Bombay, the most secular city in India. We Mumbaikars dont have time to squabble over religion. We live together in small matchboxes that we call houses and do not & cannot, fight over such petty issues. Please dont feel alone I'm there with you , no matter what. Until & unless you are involved in terrorist activities, you cannot be branded a terrorist, just because you're a muslim. My best friends are muslims, i've never looked down upon them now or even during the Bomb-Blasts or for 9/11 or 7/11; nor have they distanced themselves from me. Its only a matter of thinking. You should not be dogged by such beliefs, study hard, work hard,attain success in life- that should be our main motive & not to squabble over religion.

I cannot speak for others, but I try not to. I cannot say I am perfect at this but we must realize that people are people and becasue one person of a race does something, does not mean thay all do. What is interesting is that tall, thin white men with flat tops do not get these same looks. Yet Timothy Mcveigh who was responsible for the Oklahoma city, was a white man as such.

I don't think you're a terrorist at all. I speak English, I have been to the USA recently, I have American friends...does that make me a supporter of George W. Bush? Certainly not!! I wouldn't even be a supporter of Bush if I lived in the States, not even if I lived in Washington! You are not a terrorist unless you are involved in terrorist activities.

Being muslim does not make you a terrorist. The radical muslims are the ones that are terorists. You are living proof that peaceful muslims also suffer from the radical muslims actions.

I have no idea if you are a terrorist or not. Do you go to a mosque where your Imam calls those who do violence heroes and stay silent, do you smile whenever you hear that some western city has been attacked by those terrorists, do you march in protestwhen someone says something about Islan you don't like/ Do you shout with joy whenever any bomb blows up a little jewish child? If you do any of those things, then yes, you are a terrorist Or. do you tell that Imam that he is wrong and those people are traitors, not heroes/ do you cry or at least feel sad when that western city is attacked and innocent blood is spilled. do you turn your back on those protesting the imagined slight and cry at the thought of any child being murdered. If you do even one of these things, then, no, you aren't a terrorist. Its up to you, which path will YOU choose?
