Brother you are not looking at the problems of Muslims from the Muslim point of view.
In the history of independent India that seems to be the rule.
You are looking at the problems of Muslims as anybody else will look at them.
If everybody is doing that then there is something terribly wrong.
I'll tell a statement by former Congress chief Mr Sitaram Kesari. This was published perhaps more than ten years ago in a periodical from Kerala called the Meantime. He said that they were aware of the problems of Muslims but time and again they had put Muslims in charge of the things that affected the interests of the Muslims and every time they behaved exactly as others had behaved before that.
I am sorry brother warea you are committing the same mistake.
It might hurt you but I am not writing with that intention.

One of the first benefits of Islam is that you become aware and privy to the purpose of life. If you start thinking like others then you have wasted your advantage. That is a loss.

Frankly, I dont know how this is connected to what I said. Nor do I see any real basis for the idea that muslims are supposed to shut themselves of from the subjective view of others especially in an issue which by nature necessitates listening to subjective view and concerns of others. Discussions arent a one way lecture. It is quite a closed minded view of things and encourages shutting up what Allah Himself has provided Muslims with I.e brains. Finally, I don't see any reason why Muslims should qualify your subjective view as "Islamic" when you too are subject to error and influence of satan and more importantly, a laymen like most of us on this forum.
