Nothing serious or to worry! It's secularism / anti-imperialism as usual and terrorism has only one religion (at least in India) i.e. "Hindu terror".

And yes we are not ostriches as 'Ghar Wapisi' is unsecular and conversions happening from centuries should be ignored even if it has created terror organizations, as this phenomena of pagans getting converted to abrahmical faiths is secularism in India (let's focus in these issues and beat the drums of secularism day in and day out for all the wrong reasons and ideologies)!

Please sir don't defame religion, it has nothing to do with terrorism.

Religion alone cannot be blamed. Those who follow it should be blamed for literal interpretation of the text.

It is also for those who follow the religion, who have to make it their jihad, if you will, since jihad also means cleansing one's soul, against those who use Medieval text that were contemporary in those times and perpetrate mayhem in contemporary times as religious diktats. They should also reform the religion to be vibe with the current times.

And yet, they don't and instead act as apologists with pious hurt, which simply does not wash.

But then, there are the sole voices and there are also those who realise that one cannot keep a religion in a timewrap of the Medieval times.

From Egypt's leader, an ambitious call for reform in Islam

Egypt's president opened the new year with a dramatic call for a "revolution" in Islam to reform interpretations of the faith entrenched for hundreds of years, which he said have made the Muslim world a source of "destruction" and pitted it against the rest of the world

French Police Kill Suspects in Charlie Hebdo Attack
Gunman at Kosher Grocery in Capital Is Also Killed in Raid; Fourth Suspect at Large

PARIS—Police killed three gunmen who had rampaged in and around the French capital for days. The raids Friday also left four hostages dead, in a bloody climax to the deadliest spree of violence the country has seen in decades.

After daylong sieges that shocked and captivated France, police launched simultaneous assaults on gunmen at two locations on the outskirts of Paris who appeared to be operating together.

Said and Chérif Kouachi—the two brothers suspected of Wednesday's attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead—were killed by police in an evening raid on a building north of Paris. A person who had been hiding inside the building for hours, sending text messages to the police, was rescued unharmed, police said.

On the city's eastern edge, police raided a kosher grocery store where another gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, had taken several people hostage. Mr. Coulibaly, who police believe was connected to the Kouachi brothers, was killed in the assault, along with four hostages. Five other hostages were injured, two seriously, according to an officer at the scene.

Paris Prosecutor François Molins said late Friday that authorities believe the deaths of the people at the kosher grocery didn't result from the intervention of security forces.

"Given the state of the bodies, and Mr. Coulibaly's statements, we assume that no hostage was killed during the assault," Mr. Molins said. The four people were believed to have been killed by Mr. Coulibaly as he stormed the store, he said.

Mr. Molins said investigators had identified Mr. Coulibaly as the shooter of a police officer early Thursday in southern Paris. Authorities said Friday they were searching for a fourth suspect in connection with that shooting; her whereabouts were unclear.
