There is no short cut to save Muslim­s from future carnag­eThe Muslim moment of truth has arrived. A wake-up call for the Muslims is the need of the hour with growing intolerance, racism and xenophobia. The Serbian-led ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo is still fresh in the minds of people and so in Myanmar of Rohingya Muslims by the fanatic Buddhist groups and the military. The ‘golden era’ of Islam lasted from 8th century AD till 17th century during which the edge of Muslims vis-à-vis Christian Europe was a well-established fact. A wakeup call for the Muslims needs to be taken seriously particularly in the aftermath of the Christchurch carnage.
