In every riot in India there are at least two communal forces involved. Publishing stories from one community reflects as if the other community did not suffer at all. I hope journalism has some ethics. A true and balanced story should reflect effects on all parties not just one as in this story.

Can u please tell me how to show indianness?
U know that already there is a fatwa given against terrosim of all sorts. A common muslim man is always against terrorism and all muslims agree to that. Your perception "80% of muslims support pakistan is totally wrong". if ur observation is in reference to cricket match, then there may be some non educated muslim who may be doing that without understanding.Those may be 1 or 2%.But 99 % support our india. U can not blame 99% because of mistake by 1%.
Why they are scared first show the indianness then you need not to be scared 80% of muslim in india support pakistan then they need to be scared if not then come out and show the nationalisam show the guts to condemn the terrorist act Publish the Fatwah against Pakis and Laden.. Show your power i know u dont so then live in scare

Mr gopal, u seems to be a educated person and if people like u have such attitude then what do u expect from a illetrate person.All indian muslim do not support pakistan,why indian muslims are always identified with pakistan.Indian muslims had made there decision in 1947 and stayed here as they loved this country and feel part and parcel of india.Yes i totally agree with u their are some muslims who support pakistan so i have one word for them everybody will die one day and that day they will be buried in this indian soil and not in pakistan.Its our duty mr gopal to teach our kids communal harmony as india can survive will march much better only if we remember that we are indian first and then we are hindus,muslims,etc.Please let not be a part of gameplan of politicians and terrorists who wants to ruin this beautiful country.

Boss, dont make irresponsible statements like 80% of mulims support Pakistan. I can also say 80-90% of Hindus support fundamentalists like RSS,Shiv Sena,Bajrang Dal etc. You know as well as I know the facts. These statements will only widen the gap between two communities. I would share my view saying that lets fight first against these communialist leaders who are dividing our country in the name of religion. What they are trying to do is take us away from reality for which they should be responsible like removing unemployment,increasing the living standards of indians, build world class infrastructure etc. These politicians eat our taxes and live a luxurious life and when such events take place they try to take undue advantage rather than build an united India.
Muslims should not be scared if they are responsible citizens. Some of the top poeple in muslim community talk senseless things and create issues when there are none, they have to be responsible when they speak as muslims take their word as Final word and act accordingly.
This article is ridiculous first make the common man safe from terrorists.pray tell me why is it that muslims have earned this reputation ?Is it without reason.If you feel so strongly about this then get up and do something about it.In no other country will anti national activities in the name of religion be tolerated.Lastly please answer is your religion above your motherland ?
This is very true, Upper caste controlled media always highlights such things in order to create hate so that communal parties like BJP and Shiv sena can be benefits.

The common muslims should not be scared. Hindu's are not crazy fighters or terrorists. They never attack without being attacked first. Everyone talks about Mumbai blasts; and the riots that followed. What are you going to say to the families of the persons killed in blast: That every muslim is not a terrorist: OK accepted:- but one cannot deny the fact that majority of madarsas are a breeding ground for terrorists.. and that the terrorists are given shelter by muslims peoples... and above all: THE MUSLIMS DONT COME OUT IN DEMONSTRATION AGAINST TERRORISTS:. Noone said anything when a full railway coach was burnt with live people inside it. And afterwords when hindus retaliated, everyone just forgot that muslims had burnt alive hindus first. When cartoons of muhammad are printed, muslims all over the world start demonstrating and rioting. Why didnt the indian muslims come together to demonstrate against the dastardly act of muslim terrorists. : 1.Bombay Blasts.1992 2.Godhra train carnaige 3.Bombay train blasts. current 4.Kashmiri pandit's kicked off from their home. 5.Mau riots. But yeah they have demonstrated against bombay riots, and gujarat riots.( because muslims were killed)

What do you agree miss? that Muslims are lower castes? Islam is a religion. And you are saying the media is pro upper-caste. Before writing anything just think.
Why are peace loving muslims and muslim organizations not coming out and protesting against the terrorists? To send a very strong message to these misguided people that islam does not preach killing of innocent. If large scale protests are held trough out the world and in India to the least it will make it difficult for terrorists to braniwash young people and commist such acts
Its high time peace loving muslims stand up and protect Islam. If the terrorists had it their way, no muslim can live freely, no muslim women can ever get education. Muslim women have lot at stake and very important role to play.
Such demonstration will definitely help unity of the country. Killing of innocents in any form is disnounced. Hindus are equally obligated to denounce extremist at their end and together it will help trust bulding measure. Peace loving people must demonstrate sharing of common values of humanity and love irrespective of the religion and send a strong message to these mindless people with only hate as their religion. Any takers for peace here?

Hemal, you are perfectly correct.
We need to know what is the educated Muslim thinking. Why are they not taking up these issues within their community? I have felt really sorry for the un-educated who are brainwashed by the power hungry politicians into violent acts, or take to streets, burn train coach (Godhra), burn policemen (in Bhiwandi). The Muslim society lives in two levels - one the classy, liberal, cultured and highly educated who have very little to do with Islam the common Muslim masses are fed by their Mullahs. Then there is the uneducated (or semi literate), living in ghettos, and who are mostly on the fringe who have become the fertile ground for terrorist thinking and actions. They are unfortunately getting isolated from the common society. They react violently against Hindus in India if something happens in Pakistan or elsewhere, to their co-religionists, their religion/prophet?
Unless Muslim intellectuals wake up and educate their masses, and free them from the clutches of fundamentalists and greedy politicians, there is not going to be real peace. We will alway live in a suspicious world. But who will stand up to take initiative to cleanse the minds?
