carrying one of his bloody severed limbs in his surviving hand. He was so terrified that he wasn’t even crying. He was just running away from the site. On my way, I saw that the lucky petrol pump which I crossed every day, was blown to smithereens. If I hadn’t stopped for that

cup of tea, I would perhaps be one of those unindentifiable fragments for I would have been exactly there. So yes. Have not been killed by a Muslim. I think the post is in very bad taste because you paint all Muslims in one brush. I have Muslim friends who were also lucky not -

to have crossed that path. Some, Hindus as well as Muslims, were killed by Muslims that day. Muslims who were driven by their ideology of Islamism. You don’t have to paint all of them with one brush. But ignoring the reality because of some fancy, unreal idea of false compassion-

is actually more cruel than accepting that there are real people in the real world who have been harmed by a very very dangerous ideology.
