>You have perhaps not noticed, but jihad is quite a problem all over the world where the interface of Islamic Jihad ideology rubs up against regular humans. Even in India there has been plenty of violence. Salman Rushdie wrote a book and our Keralan friends said to be careful in Bombay [we were traveling north]. They meant that jihadists could well be violent. And they were.> Curious why your friend in Kerela did not warn you against Keralite Muslims (24% of population of Kerela is Muslim en.wikipedia.org vs 18 percent in Mumbai). The bad muslims always seem far away in Mumbai or Pakistan,not among their own familiar neighbors. Similarly, in the US, the neigborhood Deli owner from the middle east is a jolly fellow to the locals who will defend him. On the other hand everyone in Afghanistan or North East frontier in Pakistan is fair game for drone bombings. In developed countries, the right to use violence is the monopoly of the State. In India, many political parties (not just islamic but Hindu, regional, and communist parties) regularly use violence (and get away with it unpunished) to show off how strong their unofficial army of hoods is. Indians enjoy frequent holidays from work when Bandhs are called, which can result in sporadic violence. en.wikipedia.org -Arun
