Don't blame all Indian Muslims for stray terror:Israeli envoy
New Delhi, Feb 8 (UNI) Israel today said it was wrong to cast aspersions on the entire Muslim community in India if one person was involved in a few stray cases of extremism.
Israeli Ambassador to India, Mark Sofer, in an interview, said it was unfair to tar an entire community with the same brush because of a few stray cases.
''You have 150 million Muslims in India. If one person here or there is involved, it is wrong to cast aspersions on the entire community. We should not take one example and extrapolate,'' the envoy said.
Mr Sofer, however, said no one was insulated anymore because of the spread of internet, television and computers.
''There is no bubble,'' he said in the interview with Outlook weekly.
