"Enough is Enough".
The terror attack on Mumbai has left the nation angry. The people - irrespective of creed, color, caste or region are saying "enough is enough". Investigations into why this incident was allowed to happened have been underway and there are many theories (some conspiracy theories too) floating around. Who could have benefitted from the attack on Mumbai? Was Pakistan responsible? Why were Americans and Britishers, along with the Jew family being singled out? Too many questions...

On a hot Saturday afternoon New Delhi ’s historic Ram Lila maidan witnessed a huge turnout (between 10,000-15,000) of Muslims at a peace-conference organised under the aegis of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind and Darul Uloom, Deoband. This meeting was supported by other important organisations including All India Muslim Personal Law Board and the Nadwatul Ulama, Lucknow , and leaders of different faiths and sects. The aim of this anti-terrorism and peace conference was summed up by Darul-Uloom’s deputy rector Hazrat Maulana Qari Sayed Mohammed Usman, “Terrorism is the gravest crime as held by Quran and Islam.
