Personnel interactions between communities is need of the day...

I feel personnel interactions between communities is need of the day because If you only see "News Stories" that present Muslims in a negative light, and you have no personal connection to Muslims to offer a counter narrative or the real picture of what the community feels of these incidents (like the beheading of innocents be it a journalist or an aid worker), I can understand the negative views others holds for muslims....

Compounding this issue is that there are few positive images of Muslims in international(Hollywood) or national(Bollywood) entertainment media....
In fact, the exact opposite is true as both has made millions furthering the worst image of Muslims. And I can tell you firsthand as someone who has pitched film and TV shows that would depict Muslims in a positive light, there’s little appetite in "entertainment world" for such projects....

al-Qaida cannot end up doing any good for India's Muslims, but it could harm them....

AQIS harmful to Indian Muslims

The national secretary of a Muslim cleric organization, the South Asia Ulema Council, Aziz Mubarki, said that Zawahiri’s call in fact poses threats for India’s Muslim youth.

“If al-Qaida begins operating in India, counter-insurgency operations will be more intensive and we shall surely see an increased number of innocent Muslims being picked up as terror suspects. Often they spend years in jails before being acquitted by courts. It will trouble the community miserably,” Kolkata-based Mubarki said to VOA.

He said that al-Qaida cannot end up doing any good for India's Muslims, but it could harm them.

Al-Qaeda has tried in the past and failed to woo Indian Muslim youth !

Aziz Mubarki, national secretary of South Asia Ulema Council in Kolkata, said the al-Qaeda stunt could hurt Indian Muslims, already vulnerable to counterterrorism operations and communal violence.

"If al-Qaeda really spreads its network in India …we shall see an increased number of innocent Muslims suffering in jail," he told Khabar South Asia.

Al-Qaeda has tried in the past and failed to woo disaffected Indian Muslim youth, he said. "In fact, it failed miserably to attract Indian Muslims… This time too Indian Muslim youths will not respond to the call of al-Qaeda, I am sure," Mubarki told Khabar.

In Kashmir, separatists dismissed Zawahiri's statement.
