There should be no objection to sing Vande Mataram. I pesonally don't believe that it is against Islam. No religion can oppose worshipping of the mother. Mother is another name for the Creator. In fact Allah himself can be viewed in the form of mother as he has vreated this world!!

Good Question. Two known reasons. 1. The song is primarily in Sanskrit, which is a Hindu language, and 2. The song aims at making the chanter accept bowing at Mother Country, which is a Hindu concept. But why is it important so sing Vande Matarm? Even among those who have no objections in singing Vande Mataram, there are many tritors. Patriotism is out of fashion, buddy. Look at the shortage of Officers and Jawans in the army.
