None of the Muslims has any problem praising the Motherland or for that matter singing any patriotic song (which is concept of many posted messages here) but the fact lies in the fact that one need not bow down or worship motherland to show the respect or love towards it. No Muslim has opposed to singing Jana Gana. Or Sare Jaha Se acha.
Personally I do not have any opposition to singing the song Vande Mataram, taking the fact that the above mentioned line is only used as mark of respect towards the motherland and not really bowing down or worshipping it.
But when the Sangh Parivar Outfits use it as a ploy to force me to worship or bow down towards Motherland (not the respect for motherland) or force upon Hindu Rituals and they mention that if you do not worship Motherland then you are a traitor (in their words), many Muslims including me will have problems.
Here if you are not in the lines of Sangh Parivar Nationalism, then mind that you are either a traitor, an ISI Agent or a Pakistani Spy.
For the replies towards Ayaz Chamdia message posted here, it very much true that the Muslim contributions towards freedom Struggle had been phenomenal
