Horrific pictures from Egypt where the army has massacred people supporting former president Morsi. The Western world is silent as usual as it is not killed by the 'Islamic zealots'. Is secular massacre better than Islamic massacre.

Horrific pictures from Egypt where the army has massacred people supporting former president Morsi. The Western world is silent as usual as it is not killed by the 'Islamic zealots'. Is secular massacre better than Islamic massacre. The Hindu secularists, the Christian secularists feel the same way. We have seen people posting day in and out postings of the past about Islam but they keep conspicuous silence over this. Some even justify these killings. If 'secularism' has to be defended at all level and at any cost, then why they removed Saddam Hussein as he was more secular despite killings so many opponent. We should look beyond just being victim of ideologies. It is time to respect people's right to live life according to their choices. Let the Islamic, Hindutva, Christians, Buddhists, non believers learn to respect the democratic rights of each others and respect dissent. State can not be allowed to engage in tit for tat. We denounce military massacre of common people in Egypt. This is horrible and only create more hatred, frustration and violence.
