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.
