RE:Vande Mataram

Dear Friend,
For a Muslim, it is God/Allah/Creator who is first, than anything else in this world. Than, his own father or mother or siblings. So, where is the question of country coming first than the creator. The very country is the creation of the creator. So, God/Allah/Creator is first than anything else, even above his/her mother. This is what Islam teaches. Don't get confused. At the same time, don't confuse that this means Islam allows Muslims to betray one's own country. Hope you are intellect enough to understand this. Islam only says, between the Creator and your Country, it is the creator that must be your choice. Simply because the country itself is a creation of the creator. Now, between 1 country and another, obviously a Muslims's choice would be their own country. Now, if you Hindu's keep calling Muslims as terrorists and kill/rape and make life miserable for Muslims, then, don't blame Muslims if they seek to violence. Muslims or for that matter, any minority religious sect expects other religious sect to respect their belief and practise. If you keep interferring with a minority's faith and practise, trying to force them to take your belief or the West's belief and practise, you are betraying your country by causing communal divide. Don't blame Muslims for that.
Here's an analogy. What would a Sri Lankan Buddhist majority call the Tamil Tigers who want a separate land? Who knows what the Tamils go through in the hands of Sri Lankans Buddhist majority!

Just because the West has a Uniform Civil Code you want one in India? This shows your slave mentality to the West. Why can't you ask the west to change their culture to ours? This is what Muslims resist against, the slavery to the West and their belief. 50% divorce rate is the success of uniform civil code in the West. And, you want to blindly assume it is the best. A society cannot be ruled by mathematical/scientific formulae my friend.

Do you know that right in the heart of America there is a community that practises Polygamy (and they are not Muslims!). Do you know that right in the heart of America, there is a community that does not adopt technology and live oldstyle (Amish - they are not Muslims!!)

Look, what is happening to the Indian culture now? Toilets are clogged with Condomns in Call Centers. Women dress up showing every part of their body. Money and wealth is being worshipped day in and day out. If this is the culture you want to be in, I don't want to follow that, and I don't want my Mom, Sister or Wife to follow that. I want them covered. So, I become an anti-indian?
