AIMIM Leader Owaisi challenged why TOI published a headline saying ‘Kalma saved the tourists’. The standard Muslim response of saying terrorists are not Muslims is extremely evasive and selfish. Muslims want an associated Ummah which protects everyone associated with it. But the Ummah should also bear responsibilities for the crimes of its constituents. Just discarding them when convenient means you are only caring about not being blamed.
Owaisi and other Muslim leaders should acknowledge the systematic racism in Kashmir where outsiders and non Muslims are targeted and killed. A reparation system should be brought.
