Muslim Vote BS...
by imran patel on Nov 24, 2007 09:21 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Some people seem to suggest that the POLITICIANS are in-efficient because they want MUSLIM votes.

I am not convinced by that theory. Here is why,

- Muslim account for 13 % of the Indian population.
- So 13 % voters are Muslims.
- Similarly Hindus account for 80% of the country
- Hence 80% of the voters are HINDU.

Now if we agree on these numbers and disect the "MUSLIM - VOTE" Theory that the CMs are inefficient in fighting extremism for Muslim vote then we can come up with two conclusions,

Either,

- Muslims are more involed in the elections (Higher Muslim turn out than Hindus)
- Hindus are not voting for what they believe.

The idea that politicians are ignoring the MAJORITY and are more intereted in MUSLIM votes just does not add up.

Please explain this theory.

And even after all this, if you RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST Hindus think this is true, then you should put some more effort in consolidating the 80% Majority in voting along religious lines. Stop barking at the Muslims.

Hai Imran,
That is what hindu organizations are exactly doing, consolidating of hindus to destroy minority bigots. We know very well and thank you for your suggestion. But mind, once hindu consolidates you have to run for your money or have peaceful coexistence and respect other religions. You cannot continue bigotism, lest you face situation like gujarat. Every kashmir type killing will be met with similarly if you don't wake up. Hindu wake up is a wake up call to secular and minority extremists

Keep dreaming...I can guarantee you that this will never happen. A majority of these "HINDUS" do not trust the "BJP - HINDUS" as they have squeezed them for centuries under the caste system.

Keep trying. You guys will take our nation into the gutter with this mentality.

Uniting all Indians towards a common cause like fighting terrorism should be the goal.

Imran, I will tell you that the job of consolidating Hindus is actually being done by Muslim fundamentalists. The more they resort to terror tactics and kill Hindus, the more Hindus shall get consolidated to finish the menace. Look in Bengal, people who were of communist ideology so far, have got a jerk since the muslims showed their terror face the day before and have started thinking in terms of religious affliations. This is happening all over India. The answer to Muslim fundamentalism and terror campaign is only Hindu consolidation.

Prakash,
I will never defend what some Muslims are doing these days. I myself oppose that in every possible way.

But when people make the jump saying that the root cause is Islam, I am sorry, I cannot support that. I am a student of Islam and I am not blowing up people.

There are a few mis-guided people in the Muslim community, but if you start blaming Islam, then you are losing moderate Muslims. There are 1.6 Billion Muslims. A few misguided, even a percent, is a large number.

People of tolerance (Muslims and Non-Muslims) must unite to fight this wave ot extremism.

This is not a Hindu Vs Muslim fight. This is a fight between tolerance and hatered. And we all need to be united to fight this hatered.

9/10 - Since 1997 till date, out of 1098 total acts of terrorism committed cross continents 978 were Islamic terror related. Now that translates to 9/10 ratio. Google up. Rediff board doesn't allow to embed links and i hate escaping dots and coms orgs with special characters !!

Please ask the sponsors of terrorism and saudi wahabism to provide funding for science and math education for young muslim kids and not for mushrooming madrasas.This will help in controlling the islamic menace.

When 9 out of 10 muslims endorse and sympathize terrorism, its not "FEW MISGUIDED ONES" as you mentioned. This includes educated and uneducated ones too. Why on earth all terrorists tend to be muslims ? From Bosina to Turkey To Indonesia. Please exclude rarest exceptions and introspect.
