I suspect
by Suspicious on 2008-10-03 15:01:06.460933+05:30
I suspect all the bomb blasts are conspiracy against Congress and Muslims. BJP must be behind it. Police should not harrash any minority member for any reason. Educated Muslims have started becoming terrorists after watching the movie Fanaa. A glorified terrorist Amir Khan has become their icon.
MALEGAON BLASTS
by PCLUTHRA on 2008-10-03 15:00:19.120471+05:30
MALEGAON BLASTS. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE CASE. WE ALWAYS GO INTO THE DEPTH OF THE MATTER AND THEN UTTER. IT IS EVERY BODY'S DUTY PROTECTTHE COUNTRY FROM TERRORISM. HAVE YOU SEEN ANY TERROR FROM ANYBODY ELSE OTHER THAN MUSLIMS AS VIRUS HAS ENTERED INTO MUSLIM COMMUNITY AND IT HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BOTH BY MUSLIMS AND HINDUS AS BRETHERNS OTHERWISE IT WILL PROVE FATAL TO OUR CHILDREN. WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

hypocricy
by bobby on 2008-10-03 14:49:53.845611+05:30
If you observe recent and past happenings around the world,you can understand that the cries that muslims are targeted cannot be justified.If you take the regions which are involved in recent strifes like kashmir,chechnya,bosnia,kosovo,phillipines,thailand,nigeria,sudan,somalia,pakistan,afganistan,algeria,lebanon,egypt,morroco,iraq ect,you can see that one of the parties involved are muslims.How come only muslims mostly see slights against them most often when in reality in islamic countries nonmuslims does not have equal rights.Punishment for conversion in many islamic countries is death.When islamists are exploiting secular,civilized laws in nonislamic countries to fullfil their goal,which is to islamise the whole world,they are blind towards injustice towards nonmuslims in islamic countries.The peak of hypocricy is when many selective secular organisations see and hear only what islamists are telling them and not what is legitimate.Shame on all selectively secular organisations.
Terrorism how to eradicate it
by Nanda on 2008-10-03 14:42:50.789126+05:30
Not all muslims are terrorists only the misguided muslim youth takes to terrorism brain washed by their senior people the government should try to stop this by providing job to atleast one person in a family in states like U.P,Bihar etc the government should also provide the villages with all the basic amenities like Drinking water, electricity, roads,schools, hospital drainage system etc the first and foremost should be job to atleast one person in a family.
Malegoan
by The Hindu on 2008-10-03 14:33:45.256847+05:30
First Of All: Muslims have been blamed because blast are being done by them only(As simple as that). Second: We can also blame for biased attitude as Hindus get 2lakhs and muslims get 5lakhs (With FREE home delivery by collector). Third: The malegoan blast realized you what it feels like when your loved ones dies. Hindus have survived many blast, why are you becoming so aggressive with just one? Its the Muslims community which justifies KK's 100% fact dialogue in shaurya.

Kudos for telling Congress that they will be put on janaja after five year of takhto taj this year
by Secloolar Bampnthy on 2008-10-03 14:15:08.605472+05:30
Hats off to all Imams and Maulavis for pointing out the problem of Hindosothan. Look at neibouring Paksitan and Bonglades, there is no problem of muslim oppression. Why is it only happening in India? Because when partition happened, India ended up in the hands of a communal community that is blaming everything on muslims after false promise to them by Congress and their showboys and Hindvi muslims. If India had been ruled by Imams there will be no tears in Imam sahib's eyes because then it will be false priests who will be crying tears of blood as the brave real secular commuinity will be carrying their janajas at the slightest sign of communalism, as is proved by the fate of temples and gurudwaras and other signs of communalism in Paksitan and Bonglades and the fate of Chakmas and Hindu communities in bonglades. Muslims should give takhto taj to their true friends and secloolars, the Bamponth, moreover only mighty Secloolar Chin is real friend of their brothers in Paksitan too.
Express is blind
by Hindu on 2008-10-03 14:13:27.820833+05:30
In Rabodi, Thane several Hindus were brutally injured and help extended by the government was far less than the Muslims. Why this partiality? Is Indian Express sleeping?
Imam Speech
by kaaul on 2008-10-03 13:42:28.732629+05:30
In India, minorities are targetted by BJP/VHP in a phased manner and we ask for equal rights for our Hindu brothers in other countries. Even some media has a biased attitude towards minorities. When we see this paper, we see almost all offensive writings published against minorities. We should behave like a civilized society and protect minorities so that we are protected elsewhere in the world.

by paninder on 2008-10-03 13:58:47.559221+05:30
where is the question of getting BJP in the picture..r u saying that investigating the some suspects is targeting Muslims.. by this basically you want to save suspects by making this arrests communal..
what about attacks in orissa
by neeraj on 2008-10-03 14:34:01.040137+05:30
and Mr Paninder what is your opinion on attacks on christians in Orissa and Karnataka where BJP has been staunchly supporting Bajrang Dal

misplaced presumptions/conclusions
by (Dr.) B.N. Anand on 2008-10-03 13:32:23.29778+05:30
Sir Looking at the problem from a holistic angle, it is wrong to call whole of the muslim community as consisting of terrorists. Whenever any explosion or bomb blast occurs, it is again wrong to conclude right on the spot that it was a case of Islamic terrorists. Why to drag Islam in any act of terrorism as terrorists have no religion.The media and the police,all of a sudden, become hyperactivce and with out any proof or investigations it is concluded as the act of muslims. No doubt all the muslims are not terrorists but, unfortunately, people arrested for the act happen to be muslims. So it is wrong to condemn the whole communityfor the act of few people. There is no doubt that muslims do not come in the open to condemn the terrorism because of either self guilt or because of getting intimidated by the active jihadis. The same was true with sikhs when every sikh was seen with suspicion. The country had to pay a heavy price for that . Let us not repeat the same mistake again.
Good public speech
by citizen on 2008-10-03 14:56:28.186147+05:30
You may be right,Dr Anand,but then what about us who worry every morning when we set out to work.We are not sure whether we would see our homes and families in the evening.Frankly speaking we are terrified.And I would like you to speak in the same goody goody way if you or your dear ones were the victims of one such attack.The terrorists are not insane folk,they are doing exactly what their religion tells them to do.Leave that and they are as sane and normal as you or me.That is the problem....the ideology of the terrorists is to blame,the perpetrator himself/herself is small fry.
Muslims
by Rakesh Sinha on 2008-10-03 13:26:42.330077+05:30
Muslims in what is now India were more fervent about partition than the ones in what is now Pakistan. They gave us their word that they would go to Pakistan once they had it. Then they refused to go. Once they keep their word and leave India much of this violence we see now will disappear.

Deeds speaks louder than words. Past proves 100% that the whole world is under trouble due to the Muslim World. All the bomb blast investigations always pointed towards almost 99.99% muslim involvement. No more proof needed. Its time to act stronglyj.

if u ll see, in each religion, all communal violence occur due to fault of some grp of people ..but the victims r innocent common men.in christ, due to some converters ,in islam n hindu,its due to xtremists.but they get escaped 4m this complexity..so der shud b a mutual understandin betn all religion in order to hv a peace leaving.
just blaming muslims isnt enough
by israfil baluwala on 2008-10-03 13:31:59.691931+05:30
No innocents should be harassedle. People say violence is never condemned by muslim clerics. Malegaon Imam condemned the blasts. But why blame the muslims for all the trouble. Whats happening in Orissa is for everyone to see. Why dont we have any Hindu leader or preists condemning the violence and killing of innocent people. These news never make important headlines.
Orissa
by KVSKumar on 2008-10-03 13:59:24.603741+05:30
I despise bigotry of all sorts, be it Hindu or Muslim or Christian. Also I believe that Jesus Christ did not say this "Convert your neighbour into Christianity and then only love him". So it is no one's right to convert any one. Could you please tell why these Christian missionaries are not active in Muslim dominated areas as well as Muslim countries? And if they come there what will be the reaction? Let me conclude with these words of my mentor : "Let man belong to any caste or religion; what matters is his/her inner purity and character". Do you accept this?
Orissa- response
by Raj on 2008-10-03 14:54:42.617835+05:30
Do you know that your question at the end of the passage is as attempt to convert. We believe in outer purity also. Christ taught to love. Why do you kill them, because they do not accept you views. Tell your mentor to mentor you little more before you try to make converts for him.
absolutely
by xtreme indian on 2008-10-03 14:12:20.502129+05:30
u r rite...its just fault of dat stupid missionaries..wen i was@kandhamal in my childhood,i hv witnessed such conversions in the name of god.so in this behalf such converters r resposible for on goin communal violence al over india.
Terrorism and its fall out
by KVSKumar on 2008-10-03 13:04:07.226575+05:30
The imam should not have stopped just at shedding some tears. He should have also declared that the likes of Bin Laden, Al Zawahiri, and those who issues fatwas against the established laws of the land as "Khafirs", traitors and enemies of all humanity. Having said it I also admit the fact there is a crying need for speedy trials, especially in cases of suspected acts of terrorism. Innocents should not be arrested anc confined endlessly. If speedy trials and justice are ensured everyone will and will have to co-operate.
Muslim Clerics responsible
by bsp on 2008-10-03 12:20:32.650075+05:30
These Muslim clerics instead of preaching about Quran principles are sowing enemity seed in muslim hearts and enrage them to declare war on other religion people in the name of allah. Quran will say the same as in Bhagavadgeetha that killing people in the name of god is not the thing to do. Muslim clerics should go through the Quran and try to imbibe in their life first before preaching to others

hindu fanatics should have the honesty to condemn these blaststrageting minorities has become fashionable in indiachristians are facing gebocide in orissa
Are the Christian honest?
by Sam on 2008-10-03 13:32:05.273967+05:30
Do the Indian christians have the honesty to admit that they convert poor hindus by offering them money and other benefits? Till that happens, please keep your appeal to yourself. At least majority of the hindus do not support prosecution of minoroties but unfortunately, I am yet to come across a muslim or a christian who accepts their share of the blame.
and will hindus take responsibility
by neeraj on 2008-10-03 14:44:33.674505+05:30
and will hindus take responsibility for mistreating the dalits for centuries and even after 60 years of independence there are places where a dalit can't enter , why blame others for conversion lets first set our house in order and I'm sure people won't convert
conversions out of faith?
by observer on 2008-10-03 14:12:24.195648+05:30
Look at the history of conversions to Christianity in Goa and parts of Kerala by the Portuguese a few centuries ago.Forcible conversions were the order of the day else choose banishment from your homeland!Large numbers chose to convert and saved their lives and lands.But wait a minute....for those who chose to go back to the Hindu faith,special treatment was the norm....those who went back to the Hindu faith after conversion were labelled 'revertidos' and were practically sought out,imprisoned and burnt at the stake as an example to other new converts to toe the line.So much for the love and holy nature of this religion!Haaaah!!!!

Imam's speach
by Ajith Kumar on 2008-10-03 12:00:21.733116+05:30
I respect the emotion and real anger/anguish shown by the Imam.He is right in saying that Police have a habit of taking many-including innocents- to jail for interrogation etc wheneveran attack happens.With great respect may I point out to the noblecleric that it is his and the community's duty toguide the young onesand the little ones away from negative thinking about India and that it is only through real education they can achieve progress in the country.Dr.Kalam rose against all prejudices and weak financial back ground androse to become an International Authority on rocketry and nuclear energy and became the President of the Nation.He lived in a Brahmin dominated place-a fact which did not deter him inhis pursuit for glorytheir goals of

Justifying violence
by observer on 2008-10-03 11:53:18.78409+05:30
What is the press talking about.......instead of trouble,the police got to see tears? Read the article carefully,Mufti Mohammed Ismail said,'the community that can put you on a pedestal can also take out your funeral!' These are threatening words by any stretch of imagination.And what does he have to say about innocent citizens being killed by terrorists who profess his faith?He is worried only about terror suspects from his community being picked up by the police.What does he expect,an equal number of the majority community should also be picked up?Fact is the authorities are cowed down by such blatant one sided statements and end up releasing even those against whom there is strong evidence.This leads to even more terror attacks since the perpetrators are emboldened to do anything and the more gory and heinous the better.Looks like the minority is going to take revenge for the Guj riots in perpetuity till there is no India left or an Emirate of India is established!
The communalists
by Samar on 2008-10-03 11:34:13.838219+05:30
Their threatening tone reflects their medievalists mindset. Why don't these folks leave for their land, which they created for themselves in 1947?Pakistan really deserves these people of "peace."
The communalists
by Cynthia on 2008-10-03 14:22:42.857171+05:30
Is it any wonder India is suffering today? U are more communal than the terrorists!! When "your" people go to Islamic lands to earn their living are they discriminated against because of being Hindu? Or when they go to Christian lands to settle

Misunderstood minority?
by indian on 2008-10-03 11:32:32.585391+05:30
Let us clarify one point at at time...is it not true that the vast majority of Muslims had voted for Pakistan in the interim govt prior to 1947?After Pak was a reality,most chose to stay on,citing Nehru and Gandhi's reassurances as an excuse.However,I say the present generation of Indian Muslims have been born after 1947 and it would be unfair to target them on this point,but facts cannot be altered.As far as the allegation of being communal is concerned,it is a fact the minority community always thinks in terms of 'us' and 'them' further contributing to the alienation from the mainstream.The us and them ideas are drilled into the head of every child at home which is a fact.Lastly, is it not a fact that 99% of those involved in terror acts belong to the minority community.Tell me large numbers of Christians,Hindus,Buddhists,Sikhs too have serious grievances against the govt,but the overwhelming majority of them choose to use legal and civil means to rectify the problems.Think again!
