India will remain secular as long as Hindus are in majority because Hindus are fundamentally open minded with belief in "Sarva Dharma Samanvaya". Once the balance tilts the other way, our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and Bangladesh have shown what would follow. After all they were us few decades ago.
Look at Kerala, even in most educated state, Muslim league and Church is so strong when it comes to ballot. When was the last time anybody looked upto Hindu Swami to ask who to Vote for?

Kerala is a third rate state. Except literacy they have nothing to boast of. What is Kerala's contribution to Indian freedom? Except for Nambiars (BPL), Kurian (Amul)can they name any industrialist who have doen proud to the nation.

This is absolutely absurd. Can someone tell these mullahs that you don't live in pakistan or the middle east? Who the hell are you to put a reward on someone's head in a democratic and secular constitution? How the hell can indian government sit quiet when these people say stuff like this? Isn't this a violation of constitution to put a reward on a live person's head? Put them in a jail or kick them out of the country. How dare they threaten the government and take the country hostage. Someone needs to shut these guys up or lock 'em up.

They demand for others' heads because they never have one, even though they have the B.E. degrees (Bachelor of Extremism)

very very true and still there are foolish hindus out there who believe that all religions teach only peace and love. In my opinion christianity and islam preach no tolerance and believe that thier way as the only way and all others would go to hell if they don't convert. Would God reserve berth to you in heaven, just based on religion irrespective of what you do on earth ?? Just because I am muslim/christian, if I freak out doing all the bad things I would goto heaven and even if I am very good, do all the right things, but if I am hindu,I would goto hell ?? I don't buy this retarded logic, on why a person should actually convert. As long as you are do right "karma" irrespective of your religion, you will land up in heaven (if it exists) and goto hell otherwise. Being Hindu really helped me look at analyze things freely. Being muslim, you don't have an option as whatever said 1400 yrs back is final and no change/analyzing is allowed/tolerated. Same with Christians as well, but in west, there is atleast seperation of religion and state and there is no persecution if you question bible. But for muslims, questioning is not allowed at all and there would be jokers like this Imam, who threaten to kill anyone who question/analyze thier religion. I really don't understand how an educated and informed guy could still be a muslim, its difficult to understand the logic that they would use to "convince" themselves and support all the extremism in Islam. May be thier minds are different
Your thoughts about Hinduism and Christianity are wrong... Yes, Christianity does say that you have to preach and that there is no salvation under any name except that of Jesus.... but there is no instruction or command that people should be forced to accept Jesus or the the person who rejects Jesus should be killed or not allowed to live his life the way he wants.... If he has done anything wrong, god will avenge.... Same is given in the Gita wherein Sri Krishna advises Arjuna to abandon all varieties of religion and simply surrender unto Him. But again there is no force to do it... its totally a person's wish to do so....

But what then is christian missionaries doing.? The killing in christianity stopped only in this century. Kerala christians are the worst i know of. If someone come to your house and brain-wash your brother that your mother,father,brothers are all devil worshippers, so change them, or desert them and come to the true GOD, what would be the state of your family. U fanatic christians wont understand it. You will call it right by constitution, freedom of beleif. Your belief should not call others mother(religion as devils). But you people, destroy hindu families like a virus and use them to futher this just as a virus all in the name of that great one Jesus. Shame on you, Ramesh.. Dont miss-interpret krishnas word. Krishna never said other reliogns are devils own, all he asked is to be on guard about ur own mind, and watch your mind, dont be a slave to it. But you instead is using it as a means to sunstantiate christianity. As i see, christianity and islam is made for each other. One use cunningness and other use terror. Cunningness because they want life, terror becuase other side dont wish a life. But in any case the choice for hindus is to get converted in such a way that ratio is 60:40 (Mus:chris). After that we will see brain verses terror, and the end of India. That is worth a sweet revenge. Other than that, hindus are good for nothing. Only bables, like RSS/VHP etc, niether do they have brians nor do they have courage like muslims.

Dear Veera ...three idiotic semitic religions...even jews believe in one god. But has several gods helped RSS, Shiv Sainiks, VHP and Bajrang dal behave any different? I strongly condemn the idiotic imam for daring to issue a fatwa oblivious that in a democracy no civilised human will tolerate such insane fatwas. But the activities of their communal hindu counter-parts does pose a question. Are we truly going to remain a democracy for long or just be hiding behind a democracy in future, where law is to be followed by some whilst others get away by having private armies plus infiltrators in law-enforcement agencies who carry out their instructions of offering selective justice. Think again pal, the disease is not restricted only to the three idiotic semitic religions but closer home as well. How many of us indulge in self analysis and work towards eradication of the menace from within us as well? If level headed people don't correct this trend. We will be another Islamic type of a nation with a Hindu identity and all cultural extremism Taalibaan style will be introduced basis what is their version of hinduism. Dont forget the propaganda in media and TV channels on what should be the dress code, being discussed on chat shows during the BJP rule. Democracy will be replaced by theocracy. Some argue that they have come into existance due to Islamic terrorism, but Mr. Kao Ex RAW differed stating internal terrorism established after the Babri Masjid episode was engineered by them.

dear mak..do you know the meaning of fatwa. fatwa fatwa is nothing but an advice to the muslims from the imams that what you are doing is not correct according to the religion. it just an advice. it's on the muslims that whether they agree with it or not.

You call it just an 'advise' even though this rascal tells his community to behead somebody for a great prize? Such people should be immediately tried for 'attempted murder' through community and for spreading hatred against somebody and should get capital punishment.
