Jihadist have nefarious design within India and no wonder highest Muslims are joining Isis .even though I am not cheddi ..I feel this community is deviating from mainstream and definitely we can see many are rejoicing the death of bjp leaders .we checked about rudresh ..he was not having single case in any police station .he was just killed becoz he is Hindu and propagated Hindu ideology .
Muslims never do this kind of things...they are all Allah fearing people....
