where was the need for rediff to use the term 'Muslims' to describe a group clash between two groups of foolish people. Why is religion not mentioned in the numerous clashes that take across the country for example clashes between DMK and AIADMK workers in TN and between Congress and TDP workers in AP. Now Rediff will no more be my home page. It publishes such irresponsible articles first and then encourage hatred in its discussion board. This site itselft should be banned first.

Well the name "Muslim" sells big time. It catches the imagination of many non-muslims. They have this idea of Islam taking over the world and they are afraid. They keep blaming the muslims for their failures. How is the muslim responisble for Indians being backward? Its only that the muslims are even more backward. I live in Australia and I am seen as and Indian not as a muslim or hindu. Whatever I do reflects on my country not on my religion. So stop fighting like fools. United we stand and divided we fall.

DF, I agree wid u. And to be blamed in rediff.com. In their pursuit to gather eyeballs, they go can go to any depths to capture an unwanted story. And you are right, our behavior affects our country's image positively or negatively. We must stop these ickerings and move on as a country

I don't know why, but I felt sorry for Mohammed Uddin's remarks.
But dear Mohammed, that's the bitter truth Muslims have to accept: The rest of the World is losing any sympathy towards them, fast.
From your words, you seem to be man of respectable nature. Unfortunately, friend, you also have to share the anger and hatred people of other faith have towards your religion.
Today, you feel penitent, but where were you when many followers of Islam commit unthinkable acts of crime against inncocent people of other faith?
Why people like you do not come out in the open and denounce the evil forces that uses Islam as a justification for their atrocious acts?
Come out of your shell, friend. Show us some indication that there are, after all, good people in Islam too, who values a human life more than his religion.
Come and join the global community. Otherwise it may be too late.
