Dear thiru kavi yogi
ref http://www.thinnai.com/pm1029012.html
Poem or story or whatever be the outlet, we seem to
see the actions of Osama bin Laden from a Hindu viewpoint.
On one hand, this way of praying to God/Goddess to bestow
"knowledge" on OBLs of the world is a commendable gesture.
This should rather come from within the Islamic community,
but one doubts if it would come at all.
On other hand, this is a grave mistake. For, what OBL said about
infidels is very true, because, from an Islamic viewpoint,
believers are asked to kill infidels, idolaters and
women to be subdued, explicitly in Quran.
ref http://www.golshan.com/rationalthinking/index.htm
This poem reflects a classical difference in the mindset.
While the role of women is being constantly driven to higher
standards than before, by providing them education, learning skills,
empowering them with skills for living, helping the downtrodden
and abused women via several means, the pressure to either silence
them or push them back behind veils and burqas is still happening
in several Islamic societies.
