ಜೆಹಾದ್ ಎಂದರೆ ಏನು?

By -
ಇಸ್ಲಾಮಿನ ಮೂರನೇ ಕಲೀಫಾ ಅಲಿ ಅವರು ಧಮ೯ ಯುದ್ಧವೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲ್ಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಇವರ ಮೇಲೆ ದಾಳಿ ಮಾಡಲು ಬಂದ ಎದುರಾಳಿ ಸೈನಿಕನೊಬ್ಬನನ್ನು ಸೋಲಿಸಿದರು. ಇನ್ನೇನು ಅವನನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಖಡ್ಗ ಎತ್ತಿದಾಗ ಅವನು ಇವರ ಮುಖದಮೇಲೆ ಉಗುಳಿದ.
ಇವರು ಖಡ್ಗವನ್ನು ಇಳಿಸಿದರು. ಅವನ ಜೀವ ಉಳಿಸಿದರು. ಅವನು ಯುದ್ಧ ಕೈದಿಯಾದ.
ಅವನನ್ನು ಜೈಲಿಗೆ ಕಳಿಸುವಾಗ ಅವನು ಅಲಿಯವರನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದ. "ಸ್ವಾಮಿ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಡತೆ ನನಗೆ ಅಥ೯ವಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮುಖದ ಮೇಲೆ ಉಗುಳಿದಾಗ ನೀವು ಸಿಟ್ಟಿಗೆದ್ದು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲುತ್ತೀರೆಂದು ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದೆ. ಆದರೆ ನೀವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಜೀವ ಸಹಿತ ಉಳಿಸಿದಿರಿ. ಯಾಕೆ?"
ಅಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದರು: ನೋಡು, ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಮುಖದ ಮೇಲೆ ಉಗುಳಿದಾಗ ನನಗೆ ಕೋಪ ಬಂದಿದ್ದು ನಿಜ. ಆದರೆ ನಾನು ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದು ಜೆಹಾದ್ ನಡೆಸಲು. ನನ್ನ ನಿನ್ನ ನಡುವಿನ ವೈಯಕ್ತಿಕ ದ್ವೇಷ ಸಾಧಿಸಲು ಅಲ್ಲ. ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲಿನ ಕೋಪದಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೊಂದರೆ ಅದು ಪವಿತ್ರ ಜೆಹಾದ್ ಹೇಗಾದೀತು?. ನನ್ನ ನಿನ್ನ ನಡುವಿನ ಬೀದಿ ಜಗಳವಾದೀತು ಅಷ್ಟೇ"

``All Muslims are not Terrorists, But all Terrorists are Muslims''

By -
A media group owner has said something interesting. ``All Muslims are not terrorists. But all terrorists are Muslims. I don’t see why we should be afraid of accepting such facts’’. The high profile entrepreneur and journalist made the statement at a music performance in Hubli. What is even more interesting is that there were some Muslims among the guests and performers!  I thought I would add here, some facts that such people may not be afraid to accept.  Intelligence agencies of India , USA , UK , and other countries have identified nearly 125 global terror outfits. Half of these have Christian cadres. The motto of some such organizations is to convert the world into ``The Promised Land’’. A third of these have Muslim cadres. Some say they are fighting a Holy War. Some media organizations call them Islamic terror outfits. At least 10 % of those listed are fighting for rights of tribes. There are at least 10 agencies on the list t

Gowda and Gore

By -
I chose this title because I wanted to sound strange and confusing. Yesterday over lunch, I got to know former US vice president Al Gore won the Peace Noble for his environmental campaigns. I was busy and could not think much about it. I had heard about Al Gore’s film on snow animals. The only other thing I could recall about him was the way he introduced himself to students in a US university. ``I am Al Gore. I used to be the next President of the US’’. For me, that smelt of Narcissism. But when I went home yesterday night, I began watching TV to get details. I hopped between channels that were speaking to Al Gore and the one that was speaking about former Indian Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda. Then it struck me. How a former vice president of a resourceful country can smoothly go out of politics in that country and how some one like Gowda could remain an undying irritant in Indian politics. About how a not so young man can comfortably forget the luxuries of the White House and go film
