FaultBy: Satish Haldankar | Monday , 22 Sep '08 20:22:32 PM Reply | Forward The primary fault of attacks on minorities and their institutions lies with the people of Karnataka for voting BJP to power, knowing fully well their (plus its mentor RSS and its lumpen organisations) track record of targeting the minorities in other states, especially Guajarat in 2002.

attacksBy: marathahan | Monday , 22 Sep '08 19:33:08 PM Reply | Forward The BJP should ban the VHP and Bajrang Dal and name them as terror organisations if wants to gain credibility with the secular middle class and the growing international business community. At this time the BJP looks like a part of the problem.

jokerBy: reader | Monday , 22 Sep '08 19:16:15 PM Reply | Forward OHH what a great somersault by an idiot who before had said that attacks agains churches by sangh parivar are due to conversions. Now he started to play the dirty politics by accusing the opposition of conspiracy. Jokers like this are a menace to the society and this guy's leadership has led Karnataka state to chaos and at the minimum this govt. should be dismissed and christians should be compensated for damages which should be a huge amount considering the damages his govt. has done to the sentiments of christians.

Bishops reaction in front of the CM and the crowdBy: Shivakumar K S | Monday , 22 Sep '08 19:00:27 PM Reply | Forward It is a pity that the Minority places of worship has been attacked. I condenm it. It should not have happened in the first place and it is not for good that is happening for the society.The way the BIshop (a position known for patience and universal brotherhood) reacted on the CM when he visited his house doesnt also show any goodwill either. CM is the head of the state and should have accorded him due respect and shared his anger and frustration in a better way and a better behaviour. It was almost like inciting a mob and thus demeaning the office of the CM. The bishop could have been more choosey of his words and behaviour, and would have set an example to the Community who talk of peace and brotherhood, if he could have been talking the way a Bishop would have spoken. it would have added extinguisher to the fire which is already buring. Now it has given enough fodder (attitude) to the christian community of the Bishop who has added fuel to the already buring house in our state.

Hindus also should form suicide squad as per Margaret Alva theoryBy: Hindu | Monday , 22 Sep '08 20:34:10 PM Reply | Forward Margret Alva’s asked all Christians to form suicide squads for fighting an insignificant political outfit called Ram Sena. It is all the more reprehensible since she is the General Secretary of AICC and not a leader in a minor political party. Her call is more incendiary than the call made by local Sena Satrap Mutalik. To be fair, the government should initiate legal action against both these persons. May be next Oscar Fernandes will ask Chrisitians to convert more as they will now require for suicide squadHer statement shows mentality of congress. the nation has suffered a lot because of these congress people right from start. now please also hindus should be united in fightinf against these cowards. first step should be keeping congress away from power forever

Christians and Converts should read this articleBy: Salman Sabbidin | Monday , 22 Sep '08 18:33:24 PM Reply | Forward Christians should read this instead of barking at the BJP government and Sangh Pariwar, or Bajarang Dal. Those barking can leave to Vatican. India dont need ill-fated people like all of converted you in your generations for money.
