Neha,wish you a communist conceptionBy: Neha jain | Saturday , 28 Nov '09 9:51:35 AM Reply | Forward Considering the case of Surat,it is a particular case,however on studing the strategies of terrorism from Kashmir to Srilanka,i suppose a particular community to blame for its offence & sacrifice them for it,is not within the premises of a growing national Moral ie a safe & fast enviornment.I conceptualize that rather to inferior muslim in particularity,it would be nicer to probe in the problem as relevant to the particular situation viceversa NOT BLAME THEM BUT BRING AN UNDERSTANDING,through negotiation.

Terror gets local support, so no houses for Muslims: Surat real estate agentsBy: Ali Urooj Shahi | Tuesday , 30 Dec '08 11:41:13 AM Reply | Forward It's a juvenile move and cannot be justified at all. I think you are unaware that Muslims also do not support terrorism. You have picked up certain blacksheep in the community and projecting them as the face of Islam. The blacksheep are in every community. Name one community which doesn't have one. I am not saying this because I am a Muslim but as an Indian. You are instilling hatred for India-their motherland among Muslims of India who have fought with you against Pakistan. If you are going to take this move then you should lay off the 12-13% Muslims employed with the Indian army who fight against the common enemy. It is the time we fought against a common enemy not among ourselves on the basis of community. This step would be a disaster and the friends may turn foes.

Not a wise decision..By: Satish Garg | Saturday , 13 Dec '08 13:45:53 PM Reply | Forward You will end up with nothing, Punishing all muslims can't be justified.. better you would have put back ground check process in place for muslim.. if a Terrorist become hindu and ask house for rent.. how would you know.. this won't cost per tenant and concrete step for verification check..

Terror gets local support, so no houses for MuslimsBy: N.V.SANKARAN | Saturday , 13 Dec '08 12:26:37 PM Reply | Forward This is an unfortunate decision, because it affects innocent and patriotic Muslims very badly. This is in fact a fall-out of the global Islamic terrorism which unfortunately has support bases within the country. There is no point wishing away the fact that there are some very highly qualified and fairly well-off Muslim youth which are giving active support to the terrorists from across the border. The steriotype response to this decision by the realtors will be for the secularists and human rights activists to blame the BJP, RSS, VHP and other Hindu organizations, while this is a natural reaction of ordinary Hindus who do not know whom to believe and whom not.

Good Move but it will hurt majority of Patriotic Musilms.By: Anand | Friday , 12 Dec '08 15:22:32 PM Reply | Forward Why you people not opposing the vast alienation of kashmiri pandits from Kashmir? is that not wrong? Is that not based on religion?

GOOD JOB! I SUPPORT GUJARAT!By: Radha Desai | Friday , 12 Dec '08 11:48:39 AM Reply | Forward GOOD JOB! Surat, Gujarat has taken an excellant step! It is because of these strong actions, Gujarat is the most advanced state in India. I fully support what Surat has done. Just like AlQaeda, LeT, Taliban are terrorists organizations - so is Islam. LONG LIVE GUJARAT!

stop itBy: nafisa | Thursday , 11 Dec '08 22:20:05 PM Reply | Forward whats wrong with people. I mean this is childish behaviour. Get a life. These people are probably the most insane lot. if u have any self respect for humanity and of being an Indian u would never think of dividing this country merely because someone is born a Hindu and others Muslim. There are miscreants in veery community and religion. Tomorrow it could be one of you. "An eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind." This has been spoken by an Indian Gujrati who was fondly called the father of our nation. Mahatama Gandhi.

Real Estate DiscriminationBy: Ray | Thursday , 11 Dec '08 21:45:20 PM Reply | Forward Another example of Hindus oppressing others - Ban RSS, BJP and other Hindu Terrorist Organizations.Lt. Col. Purohit of Indian Army - what else is there to say? Terrorist acts carried out by a serving officer in the Indian Army against citizens of India. The UN Security Council should impose sanctions on India.Also, there should be an UN Force to invade India - to ensure India complies with all the UN Resolutions regarding Independence for Kashmir.Discrimination based on religion for housing and other purposes is illegal in all civilized countries. India is not civilized. India oppresses people in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Kashmir, Sikkum and the list goes on and on...

Reply to "Real estate Discrimination"By: Radha | Sunday , 14 Dec '08 5:51:28 AM Reply | Forward You said:"Another example of Hindus oppressing others - Ban RSS, BJP and other Hindu Terrorist Organizations.Lt. Col. Purohit of Indian Army - what else is there to say?"Reply:RSS, BJP??? I think you are confused in who is a Terrorist. Why dont you ban Islamic terrorist organizations like AlQaeda, LeT, Taliban, and obviously Islam itself??

Anti-NationalBy: Afzal Ahmad Khan | Thursday , 11 Dec '08 14:28:00 PM Reply | Forward Ridiculous! This will further divide the society which can be disasterous for the country

Please dont do it...By: Vinay Kumar | Thursday , 11 Dec '08 13:54:32 PM Reply | Forward This is ridiculous. These guys in surat want to divide our country on the basis of religion. I would strongly say that banning an entire religious community because of some miscreants is a very immature way of handling things. It seems from the face of it that these guys in surat were waiting for some opportunity to harrass muslims. Please dont indulge in these stupid activities. This will only divide the country and make it weaker. And u will carry the burden of harrassing innocent people to your graves. And it is people like you who infuse revenge in the hearts of young boys and force them to become terrorists. For God's sake, stop this insanity. Dont allow nazism in this beautiful country called India..........
