Biden Visits New Orleans After Terror Attack

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit New Orleans following a New Year's Day terror attack that resulted in 15 deaths, with the president expected to meet with local officials. The attack, linked to the Islamic State, involved an American army veteran, raising concerns about radicalization in the U.S., contrasting with the country's prevalent issue of mass shootings. In India, the term 'Jihad' is increasingly politicized, with various fabricated types being used to vilify Muslims, particularly during election cycles. Despite the historical significance of 'Jihad' in Islam, these new terms reflect a strategy to manipulate communal sentiments and deepen divisions. Controversially, previous attempts to label interfaith relationships as 'Love Jihad' have contributed to the stigmatization of Muslims, despite a lack of evidence for organized conspiracies. The misuse of such terms highlights the intersection of politics and sectarianism in contemporary society.
