There in Irack Mr. Bush guiding government awarded death sentence to the patriot His Highness Saddam Hussain and Keralites gone on Hartal irrespective of Caste and Religion. Now see relating to Mr. Rusthees honour Kashmiris are striking at Kashmir. Really we have no time to spare for all these things, eventhough we are in the stream for anything beyond any sense.
During Dozens of soliders are being captured by pak army and they are being brutally tortured, their body parts are removed and finally killed. Some of the soliders private parts are missing. This is the saME STORY of 9BSF soliders captured by Bangladesh. yet no action is taken against pak/bangla either by UN nor by Govt of India. India is busy in sending buses/trains to these goon countries and our cricket board is busy in setting up their cricket boards.
Not even supreme court, media, HR activists, Amesty , no one is bothered abt this.
just one criminal is encountered entire courts,media,secular leaders are making hue and cry on it just because he is muslim. This is the fate of patriots vs criminals in India. and the muslism never done any protests for India but still getting feeded by secular parties.
Rushdie(a born indian) has exposed the evil of islam in his book.
Islam makes a human being to lead a violent path. Woman are suprressed and are used only for sex in ISLAM. Koran and Mohamme teachings HADITH has lots and lots of verses supporting violence and woman supression in the society.
thanks to rushdie.
We need many more rushdies in the world. Only muslims can bring the evil of islam to the world.

Dear AbuBakr,
Salman Rushdie has written something... have you read his book. Ok ! we will consider you have read his book and hurt your sentiments. Please tell us what we have to do with that ? Why our community people are being targetted for that ? If Saddam Hussein is hanged why we have to pay the price ? Can you please explain us.
Secondly please remember Salman Rushdie has written other books before writing this book. One of them is Midnight Children which won him Booker Prize in 1981. Is it not enough to honour him ?

In my view, there is a lot of difference between hindu protests when somebody criticises their gods and the muslim protests. Christianity and Hinduism are open to criticism and do not threaten people with death for criticism. Islam, on the other hand, is intolerant of criticism, threatening to kill anybody who does that. Whatever anybody's personal opinion of anybody's view (Rushdie or Hussain), nobody has the right to kill/physically harm him.

Hussain after drawing whatever he did is still able to live in India, Rushdie is threatened with death with a lot of money over his head. That in itself shows the level of intolerance in Islam.
There maybe bad people in hinduism and christianity, but there are enough people who have the guts to criticise these bad people. Islamic "moderates" on the other hand are shit scared to rein in their violent colleagues (or even to question their holybooks, which is a common occurrence in all major religions). I am not for thakerey, modi, I don't approve of them either.
I am open to learning about context and actual meaning of any holy texts if anybody who knows explains it to me. If you don't know, I don't see a reason why anybody has to follow them. The terrorists world over quote from the quran, I think it is more important for people to ask them to stop quoting from quran (if at all it is being misquoted) than me.

1 ) So do you also agree with Rushdie on his view on hinduism ? 2) So which religion the muslims should convert to?

Mr. Marigold, you have been asking the same question for the past several days. Is there any compulsion that we have to convert to any religion? We can remain irreligious also. I am atheist and do not believe in the dogmas of any religion. Are you ready to believe in humanism and rationalism? If so get in touch with Rationalist International.

Mr. Mohd Iqbal, calling hindus "bloody" itself shows your level of intelligence. Like Ram/Lakshman/Ganesh are stories, the so-called revealations from the Allah to Mohammed Nabi was his own creations to keep his followers under strict control (with all those rewards and punishments,etc).
And live in your own delusion that one day hinduism will vanish and islam will prevail. If 700 years of Muslim rule could not make India an islamic country, there is no way anybody achieve that now. The world over people are fed up with islamic terrorism and nobody is willing to tolerate them any further.

True that many statistics claim islam is the fastest growing (major) religion (there are smaller faiths that are growing much faster) in the world. This is due to natural high population growth in third world countries. However, former muslims (a significant fraction) who no longer follow it, are officially still with islam fearing death from their colleagues.
Islam is at the bottom of the pile (when compared to all other religions) on per capita wealth, scientific development, peace, happiness index..you name it (you can google for citations). And besides, the oil has to run out sooner or later.
The fall of islam (at least in its current form) has to be violent and sudden, due to the amount of coercion it places on its practioners not to criticise it, threatening them with death. Islam has failed; its practioners are just too afraid of each other, to say it aloud.

These are just wishes/complaints/whines offered without reason/argument. If something prevails, it doesn't mean it is good. Evil can prevail too, as can be shown by numerous examples in history.
I do think that radical islam is the last challenge for free personal faith, and it will be the last remnant of organized religion on earth. But with better information flow, I think, it can be easily defeated in the next 50 years.

rediff staff are bunch of idiots.they give rights to bloody hindus to bark and if we object they post it abuse.
The strike call was not by common kashmiris but fundamentalists as from the results it is clear the strike was partial and that too must have been forced like other political parties do all over india. I too agree that Tony Blair dosen't give a shit whether J&K or whole of India goes on a strike. Also noteworthy is the silence of Arab countries and the socalled Organisation of Islamic states - the self proclaimed contractors of muslims - the fundamentalist talk shop. But one thing to note is no country/person should have the right to insult another country/person. The british are simply needling the muslims. I request plz do not fall for it.
Rushdie is not from Kashmir, neither has he written anything on kashmir. . The UK has nothing to do with kashmir. So, what does the kashmiri citizen want here? Do they want India (or if they consider themselves a part of papistan, papistan) to ask UK to revoke the knighthood? . This is plain silly. The govt should crush the strike violently, if required. . The only strand linking the events is islam, which muslims do not want to edit or even discuss.

Both are different. One is needless insult and the other is criticism. Muslims can't take criticism.

Dear friend, we muslims are very afraid of Allah whom we have never seen through eyes and whom we believe in. When ever our beliefs have been hurt it has proved fatal for the other. History has proved it. About Islam, it is an occean of peace , forgiveness and divine connection with Allah, the God.If you practise Islam for 40 days, and if your mind did'nt changed about Islam , I will leave my religion.
RE:???

These statements are mostly appeals for faith and inaccurate. I personally don't want to be "afraid" of my god. As for Islam being peaceful, ground realities are starkly different. Islamic fundamentalism is the biggest problem on earth now for everybody (including muslims). The middle eastern islamic nation belt keep fighting with each other at the slightest pretext (Iraq-Iran, Iraq-Kuwait, you name them, they have a problem. What islamic peace are we talking about? As for practising 40 days and changing my mind about Islam, according to quran, if I come out of Islam (apostasy), according to the sharia, I have to be killed. Enough said, muslims don't even have the freedom to criticise their religion (for fear of death);this negates their praise of islam because they just cannot afford not to praise. Numerous muslims who convert out of it, keep a low profile, to escape death by apostacy in the western world.
