[The-king]

Kuala Lumpur: Describing terrorism as the "biggest threat" to the world, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi on Sunday said it needs to be delinked from religion as he pressed for a united global fight to ensure that no country provides sanctuary to terror, an apparent reference to Pakistan.
He underlined the need for ensuring that Internet does not become a "recruiting ground" for terrorism, amid the growing trend of ISIS luring youth from across the globe, and spoke about the world coming together to use "military force" and "international legal systems" to fight the menace.

Addressing the Indian diaspora on the second day of his three-day visit to Malaysia, Modi said India draws strength from its diversity and that his government is working to create an environment where enterprise flourishes and everybody gets basic needs like roof, sanitation, water, health care and education.

In his 45-minute speech at the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convention Centre here, he said development in India is "gathering speed now" amid the global slowdown and the country is growing at 7.5 per cent with faster growth expected in the coming years.

Talking about terrorism, he said it is the "biggest threat to the world today. It knows no boundaries. It uses the name of religion to draw people to its cause but kills people of all faiths."

He went on to add: "We have to delink religion from terror. The only distinction is between those who believe in humanity and who does not.... We also have to work within the society, specially the youth."

Pitching for a united global fight against terrorism, the Prime Minister said it should be ensured that "no country promotes terrorism, there is no sanctuary, there is funds and there is no arms."

Pushing for enhanced intelligence cooperation among countries, he said it has to be ensured that "Internet does not become a recruiting ground" for terrorism.

"I have said it earlier, I will say it again. The world must come together to combat the biggest challenge of our times....We can strengthen intelligence cooperation, we can use military force, we can make international legal systems for making cooperation stronger," he said.

The Prime Minister also favoured immediate recognition of of the degrees conferred by India and Malaysia and said he will discuss this issue with his counterpart Najib during the meeting tomorrow.

While mentioning about merger of OCI and PIO cards, he said minor children, who are foreign nationals, and foreign spouses can also get OCI status now. Besides, Indian-origin upto fourth generation is enough for OCI now.

Modi said the Indian government has also introduced e-visa that has made travel simpler.

"In Malaysia, we have opened nine visa collection centres. There is an eMigrate portal to make it easier and safer for workers to go to certain countries. It also alerts officials about foreign employers with cases pending against them," he said.

Telling the diaspora about his government's work, Modi said, "The wheels of change have begun to move. And, they are gathering speed now. And, it is showing in numbers."

He said India is today the fastest growing major economy in the world. "I know you feel proud about it. We are running at 7.5 per cent per year, but will grow even faster in the coming years," he said.

The Prime Minister said every major global institution has "placed its bets on India growing strongly. This is at a time when the rest of the world, including parts of this region, is experiencing a slowdown."

See there lies the problem why it always has to be muslim Pakistani and hindu India, why can't it be just Pakistani and Indian, its 21st fcuking century man, stop fcuking using religion where it does not matter,all the religions will eventually die a peaceful natural death its just a matter of time, the decay has already started

I heard that Modi and most Indians are actually hostile towards Islam & Muslims.

That seems like it would be a big problem.

Exactly, even I find it very strange when the whole world is in love with Islam and Pakistanis how can these Indians hate them, as the leaders of the world and lovers of Islam USA and France should escalate this matter to UN

For a moment I forgot who we are dealing with here, my bad

So he is defending hindus??

 

[SarthakGanguly]

The problem with India is that even If they go full saffron, their obsession with Pakistan will never end. Even If entire Pakistan converted to Hindu religion, they will accept us as their rulers, and If we conquer them as Muslims they still accept us as rulers.

Indians are truly genuine hearted Mulazims, because they cannot forget their master. They should be commended for this. Even after 60 years of freedom, their hearts beckon for us. That is what you call loyalty.

After their independence, all these Indians do is try to mirror Islam with Hinduism. They want an opportunity to hurt their former masters. They want to get even. But even If they do, they will be left empty inside.

They don't seem to realize the obvious. And that is that they want to be by our side once again.

Quoted for posterity. This is the best post I have come across here. Even Areesh is nothing in comparison.
Keep it up.

If you think about it without any trolling, or any feeling of me trying to troll, it is quite insightful.


I think it has to do with the psyche more than anything else.
