The jehdis are responsible for the looming threat of terrorism in most parts of the country.It would be somewhat naive to to blame suppression at the hands of majority for the rise of Islamic extremists in India . On the contrary , it's the fallacious interpretation of Quranic percepts or , for that matter , dubious Islamic ideologies which have given rise to dangerous Islamic radicals in India . One cannot ignore the fact that most of the Islamic organizations in India wish to establish Islamic order of living . Well, it's time for the Muslim community to realize that maddening zeal to create Islamic state within India would invite disastrous consequences and stiff resistance from other communities . At the same time , let the politicians rise above differences so that tough actions be taken against the Islamic terrorists .
