Celebrate Eid Soberly - ImamsBy: ramesh kumar | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:59:55 PM Reply | Forward Looks like we see light at the end of the tunnel. Fantastic if the Imams sticks to what they said, and the muslim brothers are ready to follow this appeal. Wish all Indians - be it hindus, muslims, christians, sikhs or whatever, consider all are indians, and all the best of luck!
TerrorismBy: Dr K.D.Gupta | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:36:40 PM Reply | Forward I appreciate and welcome the message of AIOIM President Moulana Hazrat Jameel Illyasi to the people of India to join hands to fight terrorism The terrorist attack on 26th November 2008 in Mumbai killed about 200 people destroyed assests worth several crores, wiped out means of livelihood of many.People killed were innocent,helpless and belonged to all faith and region. Now is the time we Indian should join hands and contribute our might to fight terrorism and remove the menace of barbaric act of killing innocent people .
A very touching gesture indeedBy: S.M.Singru | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:34:12 PM Reply | Forward I felt touched by this gesture of solidarity. I salute these religious leaders for this sensitiveness. With Hindu-Moslem unity in India, no power on earth can harm us.
Indian muslimsBy: Naveed | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:28:06 PM Reply | Forward Welcome move. Indian muslims have always kept away themselves from terrorism. The reason for this is that we Indian muslims have understood the meaning of Islam in real terms. Brotherhood, love for the country, respecting other religions are the basic fundamentals of Islam, which unfortunately other muslims failed to understand. Hats-off to these imams and I hope they would continue to deliver the same message in their Friday sermons to create brotherhood among all Indians. It is also heartening to read so many non-muslims appreciating the getures shown by the imams. It is sad that the media mentioned that 40 muslims were among those who were killed by the terrorists. Please don't mention the martyrs by their religion. God bless our country.
HopeBy: ajay | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:27:43 PM Reply | Forward Hope many more imams will make such apeals, and denounce voilence, whomever against it is. That will go a long way in bringing trust and unity among the citizens of India.
Wear Black Ribbions but celebrateBy: Shiva Gopalakrishnan | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:27:20 PM Reply | Forward Wear the Black Ribbon a very nice gesture. Bakrid is a very important festival. Go ahead celebrate with pomp. A bunch of terror attacks should not be the reason to tone down. Terror has no religion, race, face or country. No one toned down Diwali celebrations after the attack in Delhi
why celebrate?By: Ani | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 20:31:27 PM Reply | Forward Dear Shiva,It is stupid of you to say "go ahead and clelebrate with Pomp". It is the need of the hour for muslims to stand up and say they are NOT with the terrorist. Celebrating now for any reason, looks like you are happy and tacitly support the terrorists.
