My letter in today's Hindustan Times:
Use words responsibly
In her article Opening the Book, (October 10), Renuka Narayanan has well-captured the misuse of Islamic references. The media must refrain from using words
like jihad casually, because such injudicious usage only plays into the hands of the terrorists. It would perhaps be more accurate if the media start using
fitna instead of jihad for terrorism. Jihad means struggle, so let it be known to these ostensible ‘jihadis’ that the real jihad is waged against the self
and does not mean murdering innocents.
