Indian muslims are Indians and are equally or effected more by such incidents. Its time that we take education of muslims more seriously, get them into the mainstream in govenrence and security. They can track down any if misled muslims involved, much better than anyone else.We are taught loyalty in every sphere of our lives. Our country comes as one of the most important GIFT that Allah has given us.We are ready to protect it even at the cost our lives. Please note that there can be very few handful of such people who are alleged to have commited such non islamic crimes against humanity, not every Indian muslim. May God bless my country and counrtymen.

Imran : I cannot understand who has to take education of muslims MORE SERIOUSLY ... it is they themselves who ought to do it ... instead of sending them to proper schools, they prefer to send their children to madrassas ... and then state that lack of education is the basic underlying problem. No one will complain if the majority of Islamic community addresses issues as those listed by Ramesh. We have had several Muslims as Presidents and I wonder if any one President has more people behind him than APJ Abdul Kalam. Your community must address the problem they themselves created in the first place. Every community will have its fair share of black sheep but to turn a blind eye to their wrong doings is what is causing such a backlash. And this perception of Muslims is being felt right across the world. So the entire world cannot be wrong. Muslims have some serious soul-earching to do ... if they are to win the trust of the world. I am NOT A Muslim baiter but this is the harsh reality.

Appreciated but is it the same sentiment of the majority?
I mean....there had reports that anti-national flag hoisting happens wherever Muslims are a sizeable majority even on slightest provocation. There may be reasons but none good enough to allow people to hoist other country flags inside our country. Its things like these that makes everyone question Muslims' committment and loyalty to the country.
It makes people ot wonder if actually muslim brotherhood is more important for them than one's own country?
Anyway, this has been beaten around like a dead snake for far too long. No improvment whatsoever.

Definately. Majority!! Point well taken Ramesh. Again what percent are into such an stupid activity.Any complaitn in the family is internal that cannot result in outsider involvement. Most importantly what is the root cause for such a nonesense? Education! Its not too long when this will change InshaAllah.

Will you pass on the information about people who have tried to radicalize you? Will you stop giving money to those religious organizations who operate in the name of madrassas, religious clubs etc? Can you stop being afraid of being ostracized as a kafir from your own community for speaking against them?
