Our problem. We are concerned more with being politically correct than to accept that romanticizing with a terrorist adds to the decades old appeasement policy that we have followed resulting in greater number of terrorist activities and loss of innocent lives across the country. It is easier to claim freedom of speech and hold protests in sympathy with those who sympathize with the terrorists. But it is tougher to take a resolute stand against terrorism. Liberal Lefts will never hold a rally to oppose the terrorists, because in a drawing room conversation its "cooler" to sound safe and liberal. The problem with right centric governments, instead of opposing this by way of thought and rational arguments, they are foolish enough to apply sedition charges thus giving away an opportunity to the liberals to repaint this issue as that of freedom for speech thereby completely ignoring the basic problem of appeasement, sounding cool, playing safe and being a hypocrite. I am a liberal and I strongly oppose any curtailment of freedom for speech but being a liberal, I can not overlook the underlying campaign to turn a terrorist into a martyr. Terrorism is anti -human and anti-liberal. Wish we would devote at least 20% of our energies to speak up against the appeasement of terrorists , leave alone the 80% we spend in repainting the issue.
