Although it should not happen to anyone but UNFORTUNATELY the way the MUSLIM countries treat other minority groups in their own country makes it impossible for any person with common sense to have so much sympathy for this particular community.<br /><br />I have lot more sympathy for people belonging to NorthEast or Himachal who are always hard-working, discplined and does not create law-order problems 99% of times. These people are mistreated by other Indians who have different features in many respects. But you hardly hear from these journalists taking up their issues.<br /><br />THIS COUNTRY WAS DIVIDED on Religious lines. Now India has more muslims than in Pakistan but many people who are public figures will be up in arms if Muslims are mistreated but stay away and choose to keep quiet when terrorist attacks happen or issues related to minority groups other than Muslims.<br /><br />Some of these folks in media do their bits for MUSLIMS at the first possible opportunity. Be it Barkha Butt, sometimes Shobha De or others. Her love for the old bastard who happen to be a pornographic painter is no secret.<br /><br />Look at what is happening in Kashmir. These Muslims have burnt down the whole government building and locals are being paid money to pelt stones at army by separatists. No one in the media including Sardar prime minister has called for bringing these criminals to justice. They never tried to provide safe return of Kashmiri Pandits who were made to flee their homes. <br /><br />To sum up the issue if you stand up for a community who belives in dividing this country further with the help of MULLAs from middle east and pakistan then it's a criminal act. The vision of most of these HINDU journalists is limited to pleasing their friends in social circle and don't look at how much trouble Muslims have created in the sub-continent after Firangis have left.<br /><br />I am sure Shobha De can easily rub shoulders with Burkha Butt on Mulla News Channels NDTV 24X7 if its muslims issues. But Shobha is still far far better than the whole team of NDTV who seems to be paid by some country or congress party to deliver the news the way they do.<br /><br />Could you pls find out from your sources and share with us whether NDTV 24X7 actually get paid by foreign country or a political party ??? <br />You will do a good service to this country if you can shed some light on this.Anil Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185075142594811893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-52616768502289380122010-09-25T00:33:57.551+05:302010-09-25T00:33:57.551+05:30I feel the voice of indian muslims to stand up and...I feel the voice of indian muslims to stand up and explain what they follow is to a large extent missing. There is a lack of effective engagement with the non-muslim society at the granula level.<br /><br />Please see this short video on misconceptions on Islam, Women, it's laws, and why a billion muslims across the globe follow Islam.<br /><br />This is not to say they should not respect other dcotrines and religions besides Islam, but rather to spread awareness that Islam itself is not a big bad wolf but another religon which certain men and women follow due to agreement to certain tenets which they find gives them peace and comfort. <br /><br />No one is trying to impose it on anyone else.

But the fact remains that there are nice and bad people in every sect, culture, religion. issues and concerns like livestock slaughter (an issue for many hindus)is something that could be brought out and discussed with muslims. and an amicable solution could be sought. just that we choose to not use the dialogue route, and conveniently discriminate and avoid them. khair, anyways all hindu's are not all that sacrosanct.<br /><br />a day before babri verdict, i wonder what new dhamaaka our poor mumbai. all ominous it is. <br /><br />our city was safe once - the land for all and sundry... and discrimination was labeled just a political party agenda. we saw these political parties as bad examples. <br /><br />may be too many bad examples, is making us feel that bad is good. <br /><br />*********************************<br /><br />de, same pinch. you and i love ourselves the mostest.. much much like the geet of Jab We Met " Main Khudki Favorite Hu".

When asked about hi...Mohammed’s words translated. <br /><br />When asked about his marriage to Aisha, which he betrothed in her sixth year, also visited her alone on occasion, and fully consummated sexually, in her ninth year. <br />“A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby breast fed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, however other sexual acts such as foreplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man’s four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl’s sister.” <br /><br />True Muslims consider evil don Mohammed the most honourable of all men, and see nothing wrong in emulating his evil activities.<br />So shobaa my dear...PLEASE GOOGLE DHIMMI...YOU MIGHT GET SURPRISED.<br />And now that your awakening to the cult of islam has started please remember ..if we don't stop islam in it's tracks YOUR SWEET SWEET great grand children will definately be howling allaaah ohhh akhbar... sounds replulsive na ? thought so.... get smart ..good looking ...please don't pander to islam where the safety of my family and your family is concerned.

The problem is not only deep rooted but a festering one as well. When they are in majority as is in Kashmir, they dont talk about equal rights for everyone and they drove away minority pandits. Even the government did nothing to stop. Even some of the Indian muslims are in 2 minds and sitting on the fence. On one side the country they are living in and on the other side their religion which makes them closer to their brethern cutting across nationalities. There are muslims who enjpoy democracy and mingle freely and are highly tolerant. Likewise there are hardcore hindus who always want to snub the muslims. The demolition of Babri masjid should not have happened at all and the communal riots could have been avoided with firm police action. The fundamentalists of all these religions are getting upperhand with little resistance. But the bright thing is the younger generation which wants to have a broader outlook. We suddenly cannot love someone whom we have not loved for a long time. But we can try to understand them for a change and this understanding will lead to better things if other factors allow. The Khans, the bollywood in general is contributing a lot towards communal harmony through their films, through their real life stances etc.goodluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747177116658617395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-2103602569317816832010-09-21T10:02:26.187+05:302010-09-21T10:02:26.187+05:30yeh thats bound to happen, because the muslims hav...yeh thats bound to happen, because the muslims have asked for it..Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259452145796716118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-80767131499259452842010-09-20T21:38:42.345+05:302010-09-20T21:38:42.345+05:30Dump the model hunt.

Yet, the very people who claim to be scholars and authorities on those teachings, misinterpret them completely, or at least propagate wrong interpretations for selfish gains.<br /><br />A case in point - The Prophet teaches in the Koran that a 'Kaafir' is he who does not believe in the Almighty or in God. <br /><br />A common Muslim's understanding of "Kaafir" is he who does not follow Islam.<br /><br />It is these self proclaimed religious authorities and leaders from <b>all religious communities</b> who help create the divide amongst innocent illiterate followers and the result is a Hindu hates a Muslim or vice versa. <br /><br />Sadly those in positions of authority pass instructions, and dictats, make policies such as the one illustrated by you, are educated only in terms of the degree or the appointment they hold.
