Unhealthy mindset

Sir, - The news story about the attack on a schoolgirl in the U.K. (Oct. 19) made me wonder what has gone wrong with the psyche of the Muslim youth. The pseudo-religion preached by Osama bin Laden has made the youth lose sight of a healthy perspective of life.

The motive to forge ahead in various fields has been replaced by an unhealthy mindset which glorifies violence, hails evil as a virtue and misunderstands false sermons as religion. I hope the Muslim youth realise their folly of following Osama.

Shireen Akhtar,

Visakhapatnam, A.P.
