Good, now let Hindus reciprocateBy: Mihan Telang | Friday , 30 Jan '09 8:39:53 AM Reply | Forward Veu well done, Darul , now Hindus should reciprocate by not taking Orchestra processions near Mosques

STOP SACRIFICING COWSBy: paluvakka | Sunday , 7 Dec '08 3:28:42 AM Reply | Forward Muslims should stop sacrificing cows for ever.. it is an excellent gesture on the part of Muslims. They can complete the religious obligation by sacrificing other permitted animals and totally avoid cows as it hurts the feelings of our Hindu brothers...after all religions teach people decency, understanding and human mercy....both Hindus and Muslims should avoid provocations... communal amity is much more important particularly at this critical juncture. There is a saying of Muhammad (saw) “God does not love those who do not show mercy to their fellow human beings.” Let us follow it.

COMMUNAL HARMONY-EFFORTSBy: A R Prabhakar | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 17:28:28 PM Reply | Forward A very good gesture. Such gestures can go a long way in fostering better relations between the communities on such sensitive religious matters.Members of Hindu community must also appreciate the gesture and reciprocate at an appropriate occassion.

Avoid cow slaughter on EidBy: sunit | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 13:32:50 PM Reply | Forward It is a commendable decision of Dar-ul-Uloom to advise Muslims to avoid cow slaughter considering the sensitivity of Hindus. All sections of people should follow this example of showing consideration for the sentiments of religious and social groups. This sort of approach will certainly pave for peace and harmony and put Political and other groups who indulge in dividing communities out of business. May Almighty bestow His blessings on people of your kind.

Respect to faiths.By: Hassan Shukoor | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 13:31:44 PM Reply | Forward Thank you Ravi,People like Kasim are just fake and ignorant and more of burden for a peaceful community.Islam clearly says that non Muslim should ever hurt any religious sentiments nor disrespect other faiths.I see this is a good step taken by the celrics by putting forward this suggestion.A pure non-veggie can also be a good Muslim.It is not neccessary for every Muslims to have meat to be Muslim.I think this will strenghten our unity once again which has been poised by some misunderstandings created by anti-national groups which tirelessly carry out operations and propogandas to divide Hindus and Muslims.We all are one and we will continue to be living in the same way we lived all these decades.I urge all my Muslims brothers to single out people like Kasim who tarnish our community's image and religious faith infront of the world.

Look up and see the starsBy: Jayadevan | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 12:19:16 PM Reply | Forward t is when I read comments like these that I believe that Katherine Mayo was indeed Indian and she had lots of descendants. People who mistake magnanimity for fear, who see only the ugliness in life, who forsake the stars for the delight of counting the turds in the gutter, when will you ever grow up? On another note, it is a fact that beef is indeed the cheapest source of animal protein and a byproduct of the dairy industry. I am a beef-eating Hindu myself and find merit in the economic logic of Najdi's argument. Najdi, the DUL did not lay down the law, they only requested us to make a small gesture. We Indians do not turn down requests. Once, the RSS, impressed by the Muslim volunteers in earthquake relief, repaired an unused mosque in Khadia, a Muslim no-go area in Ahmedabad, and invited Muslims to perform namaaz there. It is another fact that none of our netas liked this warming up and managed to nip it in the bud. So you see, you have to keep on making gestures.

Hindu-Muslim brother hoodBy: Kam | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 12:03:03 PM Reply | Forward Hindus and Muslims of Indian origin are like two faces of a same coin. They care for each other. People of both faiths in almost all Indian villages live togather. It is the city where, unfortunately, may have some minor issues. It is my prayer that peace and harmony prevail in the cities as it is in the villages. Long live Hindu- Muslim borther hood.

Respect lifeBy: Indian | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 8:45:01 AM Reply | Forward Dar-Ul-Ulum are darpoks. I will stop eating cow meat if others will stop eating vegetables. I do not understand why one cow's life is better than the life value of hundreds of vegetables that a person takes in every day. Are the vegetarians not yet educated to knwo that vegetables have life too.

renewable lifeBy: Ganesh | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 16:28:32 PM Reply | Forward dude,plants give you vegetables so that you will eat it and disperse its seeds to start the next generation.Moreover any vegetable that you bite will not die,it can still grow if you plant it.Even if you cut a plant the stem can still grow.

respect life - replyBy: sundeep | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 14:17:29 PM Reply | Forward Take only as much from the nature as you require. We mostly eat meat for our taste-buds...vegetables are for our essential needs. It is impossible to survive without another form of life. But, if it is only for our enjoyment of taste-buds then is a sin.

What is sin?By: Indian | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 21:06:14 PM Reply | Forward What is a sin? Swami Vivekananda sais said theire is no sin. "If you call someone a sinner, you are as= sinner." Ganesh, you don't cut potatoes and carrots, you uproot them-dude- u kill them for your survival.
