Live and let others live
Time and time again, we ignore the fact that extremist Muslims who want to control every bit of our life in the name of religion are getting the sympathy of vast majority of us for their acts. We are simply playing into their hands. If we look at the history of Palestine, whenever there is a peace process, it is scuttled by the extremists who do not believe that Israel should exist. I am a so called Moderate Muslim who believes Israel is a recognised state in the United nations. It is impossible to go back to history and try to ignore Israel, as all the extremists do.
Accept this fact, sit round a table and solve the problem through discussion.
Do not fall prey to the fanatics. They are giving a bad name to Islam. The vast majority of us are peace loving Muslims who would like to live and let all others live.
