ObamaBy: Swaminathan | Tuesday , 11 Aug '09 6:18:29 AM Reply | Forward Well said Av tar Singh. Muslims repeat the same lie in the belief it becomes true, and it does. They have mastered the art of lying and have been fooling the so called infidels for centuries. Isn't it time to wake up?

ISlamBy: Anil | Wednesday , 17 Jun '09 23:16:19 PM Reply | Forward Let me ask thsi question from all the apologists of islam if islam doesn;t force anyone then were the temples of Quraish usurped and converted into holy mosque.> Why were quraish given choice to leave their own home or get converted.. Whatkind of tolerance is this
FactsBy: Anil | Wednesday , 17 Jun '09 23:13:47 PM Reply | Forward Muslim League:Establsihed in 1905 and succesfully divided bengal on religious linesHindus tolerated nonsense of muslim leaguers till 1937 yes after 32 years of nonsense of muslim leaguers there came hindu Mahasabha..When Jinnah asked vote for creation of pakistan in all muslim contiuencies muslim league won.. most of those constituencies were in UP Bihar Bengal etc..Tavleen Singh is a courageous writer..Let me ask muslims here even the most vrulent of hindu leaders liek Praveen Togadia has the tolerance to say : "let us sit tigether and purge our religious texts from the words which are offensive to each other."Now show me even the most lliberal muslim who could exude this kind of tolerance..Mahatam Gandhi rightly said : Hindus are cowards and muslims are bully.. Noone can accuse Mahatama of being extremist for sure and it was his observation which he put in writing in young India

Why can't IE post the complete comment in one go?By: DJ | Monday , 15 Jun '09 11:05:48 AM Reply | Forward Obama's speech is just a diversion for Tavleen to pen out another 'Hate Column'. There is no analysis of the speech per se but inferences about Islam galore. Most of these are just plain old prejudices. Many find resonance with the blogging classes. Prejudices and subjective statements should form no part of public discourse. If attitudes

Wonderful! Unravel The TruthBy: Wonderman | Friday , 12 Jun '09 1:48:41 AM Reply | Forward Muslims and Islam are two different things. Humans are sacred, beliefs are not. Muslims are born just like other humans, but what shapes them ahead is their ideology. Tavleen's knowledge on Islam is pretty good. You can't directly criticize certain aspects of the religion that are bad, but you can anytime do it indirectly. Just write and teach everyone include Muslims that 'all humans are same and only political ideologies divide them', you will never find a Muslim who goes on to read Quran then turning out to believe in 'fidel - infidel' nonsense.The problem is with ideology, and that ideology is unfortunately the religion itself. We need more and more Ex - Muslims, just like Irshad Manji, Ali Sina and Wafa Sultan!
Obama needs some more lessons in IslamBy: Vasoo Kamulkar | Friday , 12 Jun '09 0:58:12 AM Reply | Forward Dear Khatib: If you do not mind me, saying so there are some flaws in your thinking the nation was not divided by RSS or other chaddi organisations. The honour goes to Mahmud Ghazni and Mohammad Ghauri who invaded India in the tenth and the eleventh centuries respectively. The barbaric Pakhtoons plundered India, demolished thousands of Hindu temples, found their way chillingly, into millions of Hindu ‘chaddies’ and indulged in forceful mass conversons’
