Thanks for your support to the Avaaz campaign for unity against terror
following the tragic attacks in Mumbai. We need a massive public
response to show the terrorists were not successful in dividing us -
please forward the original email below.

Dear friends across India and the world,

 

We're all feeling the shock of the awful attacks in Mumbai. All our
hearts go out to the victims and their families. 

 

The attacks were aimed at our people, our prosperity and our peace. But
their top target was something else: our unity. If these attacks cause
us to turn on each other in hatred and conflict, the terrorists will
have won. They know that hatred and chaos feed on division. They also
know they are radical extremists, and their only hope of reaching
society as a whole is by turning the rest of us against each other.

 

Let's deny them that victory. We're launching a message to extremists on
all sides and all our political leaders, one that will soon be published
in newspapers across India and Pakistan. The message is that these
tactics aren't working, that we're more united than ever, united in our
love and support to each other, and determined to work together to stop
violent extremism. If millions of people sign it, our message will be
unmistakable, click below to sign it and please forward this email
widely:

It's time to speak out, let's do it together.

 

Thanks
