Today what the world needs is the political will to tackle terrorism in a big way. There is no need to panick when the time comes to call a spade a spade. It is always better to weed out religious fanaticism at the roots, instead of sidetracking it.
There have been umpteen clues regarding the Hyderabad blasts, but no one cared or dared to do anything about it. Result - 44 dead and hundreds injured.
Grabbing time to read and write from an otherwise hectic day is how I create my own space of sanity and peace.

No doubt terrorism is the most dangerous threat the human race is facing today. When it is religious-driven, it is menacing. But I still doubt if Governments can root out terrorism using its might alone. But I agree with you that we have to call a spade a spade. Islamic terrorism is a reality. And we need not be reluctant to call it Islamic terrorism.
