The main foundation of islam is "None to be worshipped other than Allah and Mohammed is his prophet" If a muslim contravens this he is moved out of islam and he doesnt remain a muslim. So the government should come out with the clear meaning of the word Vande Matram because the muslims thinks that the word vande matram means worshipping the motherland.

Hi Ashfak,
Vande Mataram is not about worshiping any particular god or idol. Meaning of 'Vande mataram' as you said is 'Hail to Motherland' and so, should not be an apprehension factor to all our Muslim brothers and sisters that they are forced to praise any hindu God. Only confusing factor is the language, Sanskrit. And if they have objection to Sanskrit too, I am at loss of argument.
I appeal all Indian Muslims to recite 'Vande Mataram' ONLY if they have respect for their mother land (India) and not under any pressure or threat.

The true patriotism is what other then sacrifice what the minority gave to the country where as majority apologising to British in the freedom struggle. Then what is Arabian ocean or Bay of Bengal. It is either the corrupt majority or obedient minority. I think u have not understood patriotism. It is the minority's obedience that majority is named otherwise no one bothers who is what.
The issue goes much beyond Vande Mataram or being suspicious about Indian Muslim's patriotism. The subject in question is what comes first, being an Indian or being a Muslim? Look at this guy, LIC policy is unislamic...My God...in this scientific age, this so called preacher of peace and harmony are quietly trying to drive their people back into the caves...!!!! Regarding the question of Vande Mataram, if the Govt run schools want to celebrate the song as directed by the government of the day, why does this people who do not belong to that place bring a religious fabric to it in the first place. Where are those secular preachers who cry foul each time BJP opens its mouth? Thank God, the so called ultra secular forces are in power, else knifes and swords would have been drawn to push the very idea of Hinduism to extinction...!!!

Deoband is not misleading to any one. Make sure u are authentic in your comments. There was no fatwa from deoband or whatsoever. Better be sure before any claims.
deoband is misleading muslim community. Instead of giving fatwa mullas should edicate the ppl and deoband is playing petty politcs with anti national congress and mafia marxit. As per shariyat principal subsidy for haj piligrmage is insilamic. but cong govt is playing vote bank politixs for minority vote bank why msulim scholars are mum about this unislamic tradition? Why not giving fatwa against it??
