True IndiansBy: Joseph Pereira | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 16:52:05 PM Reply | Forward Hats Off to the real Nation loving persons. All religions should teach their people that India Together is above all things - Cast, Religion, Language. Let's start to think and say together we are One family, One culture. One India. Let us give a chance to Bappuji - Mahathma Gandhi for a smile. BHARATH MATHA KI, JAY.

Eid Al Adha - Black BandsBy: Alphonso D'Souza | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 16:47:03 PM Reply | Forward Every Indian should be pround of this gesture. Let us pray that the Lord Almighty bring peace and prosperity to our land always.
Welcome moveBy: Rakesh | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 16:36:38 PM Reply | Forward That's a very thoughtful move from the Muslim clergy. Let this be a beginning in denoucning terrorism and killing of innocents in the name of religion, caste, creed, colour, or nationality. We need more such gestures from the Muslim intelligensia and clergy so that the commoners stand up and speak against terrorism.
PatriotismBy: David | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:15:51 PM Reply | Forward 'We need more such gestures from the Muslim intelligensia', Muslim community's gesture is not to please you. They don't need any certification nor are you authorized to give any certification of patriotism. Expressing protest and a low key celebration is the testimony towards greater social harmony that the community seeks to achieve.
GoodBy: Subhash Bhatt | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 16:33:37 PM Reply | Forward This is a good gesture from AIOIM and must be welcomed. Such moderate Muslims must come forward and make themselves heard so that their voice does not get drowned amidst the loud, violent minority within their community. This is from an RSS supporter, mind you.
Positive stepBy: Abhijit | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 16:24:44 PM Reply | Forward I'am very pleased at this announcement. I was anxiusly waiting for the Muslim community to denounce the attacks
Celebrating EidBy: RAJIB SENGUPTA | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 16:24:02 PM Reply | Forward It is indeed heart warming to see such statements from muslim relegious leaders. It is time that all of us unite and stand strong irrespective of our caste and religion. The event has proved the terror does not have any religion, almost 40 muslims have been brutally killed by the same people who seems to be killing innocents for a muslim cause! Need of the hour is that all muslim leaders and intellectruals should unite and stand collectively to encourage and guide their community members to stand unitedly with all other Indians and be proud for their nationality. Thanks a lot to Mr Illyasi for his initiative.
Good stepBy: R | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 16:19:55 PM Reply | Forward This is a very welcome step which shows the sensitivity of the Imams towards the collective horror India faced. Such voices of Muslim opinion are to be congratulated and supported by all political hues. It is people like these who will be an important element in countering the hate that drives some of their co-religionists.
