The discovery of a group of doctors as the latest "terrorists" willing
to sacrifice their professions, themselves and their lives to attack
their tormentors is a wake up call. The British talking heads on TV
in the immediate aftermath of the attack had great difficulty in
divorcing their Government's wrongheaded war on Terrorism as an attack
on all Muslim peoples. When highly intelligent and successful people
are willing to give all that up to make a point any intelligent person
must also realise that the group of doctors must have been very
alienated and very angry. UK's new PM Mr. Brown has a huge task ahead
of him to rebuild that connect with Muslims although he does not have
the burden of being Blair. Across the Atlantic Bush's Independence
Day speech with all the mealy words about fighting for American
freedom and lauding the sacrifice of his troops puts his country on
the downward spiral of losing world leadership and credibility.
An chilling update. So they are Indians, not Plaestinians or
Jordanians.

India's sons live the dream - and wage jihad
By Sudha Ramachandran
BANGALORE - The alleged involvement of several Indians in the
attempted bombings in London and Glasgow late last month has punctured
the myth that Indian Muslims are immune to the call of jihad. It has
sent alarm bells ringing in India's security establishment.
While the full role of the Indians who are being questioned or are
under arrest is yet to unfold, police believe at least one of them -
Kafeel Ahmed, the 28-year-old aeronautical engineer who allegedly
drove a flaming Jeep Cherokee into Glasgow International Airport
terminal on June 30 - was central to the plot. He and his brother
Sabeel Ahmed, 26, a doctor, have been arrested.
Whether their cousin Mohammed Haneef, also a doctor, who was picked up
in Brisbane, Australia, while trying to catch a flight, was a part of
the plot or of the terror cell is still unclear, although growing
evidence of his playing a fundraising role for the cell has been
reported.
All three hail from the southern Indian state of Karnataka and had
studied in Bangalore, its capital. What has come as a shock to many
Indians is that these young men did not emerge from impoverished
ghettoes with little beyond a madrassa education and jobless but from
India's information-technology capital known for its cosmopolitan
culture. These were men who had degrees in medicine and engineering
and had secured jobs in Britain and Australia. They had achieved the
Indian dream.
Friends and teachers recall the two Ahmed brothers as non-interfering,
good students from close-knit middle-class families. Kafeel's
schoolteacher remembers him as "a quiet, above-average boy, who fit
into the school quite easily despite coming from another country". The
boys spent their pre-teen years in Saudi Arabia, where their parents
were working as doctors. Sabeel, or Motey (Fatso) as he was called by
his friends, was more outgoing and a soccer fanatic.
So when did the soccer fanatic turn fundamentalist? Where did the
change happen? (more)
