Do you people know that, in the North Western part of India, the exact same kind of terrorism is acted out by CHRISTIAN terror groups? Did you know that in the CAR, CHRISTIAN militias do the same things as Al Qaeda? Did you know that the Lord's Resistance Army from Uganda does the same kinds of things as Islamic State?

The enemy is not ISLAMIC extremism, it's EXTREMISM. And the fact that there have been half a dozen attacks on Mosques in France in the past 72 hours is a sign that extremism is quite definitely not something limited to Muslims.

That would be the North EASTERN part of India. Some of the Indian North Eastern states are almost compeletely Christianized. The local tribal traditions and religions of the natives (who are actually a different race (closer to Chinese and Mongols) than the rest of India) have been abandoned and they are in a serious identity crisis. They have even abandoned their languages and English is the most commonly used language. Funny thing is now the Christian population is facing further proseletyzation from other Christian denominations. For example, the Pentacostals are "poaching" the Roman Catholics. But if I understand correctly, this is common in rest of the Christian world too.

Recently some groups sprung up in these states who wanted to go back to their original customs and religions. From what they say themselves, they were disillusioned with Chritianity and were sick and tired of the Christians abusing their heritage. It can't be discounted that their motivation could have been political as well. At the moment the Christian "vote bank" in these states is so strong, that during elections whover is endorsed by the preists during the Sunday sermon is assured of victory.

Anyway, the Christians did not take to this challenge very well. Some of these groups are more extremist and have access to arms, and recently they attacked the tribals and killed many. I think TQ is referrig to this.

This kind of violence, is indeed a cause for concern, and could snow-ball into a much bigger thing if not checked right now. Itis alleged that theere is a nexus between these violent Christian groups in the North East and militant anti-government Communist groups (called Maoists or Naxalites).

However, at the moment, the threat they present to India is nothing, compared to threat that Islamic terror presents to the the whole civilised world. And yes, it has to be identified as Islamic terror, otherwise we are fooling ourselves.

It is double-standards when no one misses a single opportunity to point out that the victim Ahmed Merabet, the cop who was killed in Paris, was a Muslim (when it was not even clear if he was a practicing Muslim) and also declare in the same breath that the terrorists (who shouted Allah-o-Akbar) had no religion.
