Demonising Islam

The world is set to demonise Islam. I wake up to news from all over on this.Yesterday it was the Pope   - repeating that the genocide against the Armenians during the Ottoman rule was the first in the 20th century. I was wondering why he'd start with 20th century.Go back to the times of the Romans slaughtering otherslah BC.But my friend Fadzilah said Armenia still exists, Carthage does not and no one wants to recognise the issue.Fine but is not he a man of peace? Why incite hatred? Read, and you will know that there are allegations and there are negations.It's not as though casualties were only with the Armenians.My Turkish student wrote about her great grandfather whose family members were all killed by the Armenians and at the age of 8, he went to hide in the mountains and survived as a shepherd.

Today, a Prof in Spore (Indian expatriate) was talking on how Spore dealt with terrorism saying that as long as terrorism exists in the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia...the region (SEAsia) will always be under threat. You see the unwritten/unspoken? He didn't mention Israel, Sri Lanka, India (Kashmir). Apa punya turr!
