Hijacking religion

Sir, - Mr. Mushirul Hasan's article must have been like a breath of fresh air to many. I am puzzled as to how a theology of war and angry passions has been wrung out of those holy passages by the ulema and other motivated religious preachers. Thoughtful Muslims must stop the ``jehadis'' from hijacking their religion. Can the former glory of Islamic civilisations be restored by waging continuous wars of terrorism against Israel, Western countries, Russia, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Egypt, China, the Philippines and India? Can there be eventual winners and losers?
