Before bursting out the thoughts — Any violent attack on a human by another member of a cult, religion, political group is crime against humanity. No sensible and responsible religion spreads violence unless they are controlled by blood thirsty greedy patrons.

France has been the center of world events. Anything remotely happens in France, immediately it spreads and affects the far corners of the earth. The recent terror attacks in France, yes terror and terror does not always needs a group. It only needs a vice mind to stem up.

To curb those vice weeds in the humanity, what the world leaders from India to France does is spraying of infinite fertilizers. No one asks the questions, how and why did it grew ?

The best and the most famous example is the Jammu and Kashmir. The area has been a hot boiling mess since the 1947 and it always keeps two neighboring nuclear powered states at loggerhead. The tension of the extremist radicals has forced India into making it one of the most militarized zones of the world. Whatever progress and developments happens, gets undone in a moment. The constant necessary restrictions and military to check the aggression of Pakistan affects the psyche of the locals. For some of them, their own soldiers and military becomes their enemy. Their blockade to freedom. Thus ground becomes fertilized for insurgents. Which has lead to the recent dramatic increase of islamophobia in India. Anyone supporting a Muslim is deemed as anti-national. Which further alienates the Muslim community and the cycle continues. The vultures of politics keeps on getting their gains from these bloodshed.

Now coming to France — The propeller of democracy and revolution around the world. The guardian of free speech — and creativity. But how much free speech is allowed ? True the state cannot infringe on those rights of an individual but it should rise from the collective and individual consciousness. A person engages in a friendly banter and jokes about him and his family, but if the is line extended too much, one gets agitated. The mocking of religion is allowed but the line should be drawn. Being a secular country does not means mocking on religious beliefs. It means the state does not promote one, but the citizens has the right and free will to follow whatever the religion he wants. Also by using the excuse of free speech and mocking just one religion is totally wrong. A free-speech class should mock and satirize every damn religions around the world. If not then you a — that religion specific phobic.
