Blaming Muslims
for terrorism, a global conspiracy
Mohammad Islam Qasmi
Roorkee: Several terrorist attacks took place
across the globe for which individuals from
different religions were arrested; so
associating only Muslims with terrorism is
unjustified, said Dr. Mohammad Islam Qasmi,
president of Uttarakhand Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind.
This anti-Islam and anti-Muslim campaign seems
to be part of a global conspiracy, he said.
Islam and terrorism are two contradictory
entities and whoever happens to be terrorists
cannot be Muslim, he said. It is the
responsibility of every Muslim to foil the
conspiracy to tarnish the image of Islam, he
continued.
21st Century will be Asian Century
Kanpur: The 21st century will be the Asian
century thanks to its growing economies and huge
talent base, National University of Singapore (NUS)
president Shih Choon Fong said while delivering
the 40th convocation of the Indian Institute of
Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K) here Saturday. He
said Asia, including the Middle East, was fast
becoming the new destination of choice for the
coming generation. He, however, said the new
generation was facing ideological and ecological
challenges and they would have to decide the
best course of their life.
The NUS president said that for IIT-K students
staying in Asia might appear to be the road less
travelled. But this road less travelled offered
better opportunities. He advised the fresh
engineering graduates that they should explore
the opportunities suiting to their interest and
shape the life through the choices they made.
IIT-K director Sanjay G. Dhande advised the
young graduates to continually strive to usher
in a revolution of quality in both professional
and social domains.
