o Muslims you are not powerless, may be govt running is bigger than us but you are not powerless. many people are waking up and realizing that Islam is wonderful religion, full of honor & dignity. As Muslims we have a lot job to do. RSS is in business of dominating our country and they are using state resources to kill Muslims and elect those who kill Muslims. We need to carry the message of Islam not the message of violence. RSS want Hindus to live in a state of fear where they can manipulate and manage them. Govts we have here now have become hypocrite. if govt. is truly democratic it should work for people.
Now things are manageable. No meaning in scratching the head when things become not manageable. We need Hindus to sit down and read Quran once in their life time. Quran is way of life and is system of life which actually works. Stop the fear of Islam. Islam is not your enemy. Islam doesn't send you bills to your door step. Islam doesn't kill you when you drive on the road in the morning. We must stop the business of blaming Islam & Muslims. If we do not something quickly then we will be in state of fear which you wont believe and it will be such a dark place to live because money & power may be major problem which is going to come to the mankind. rich & poor gap is widening. Allah knows best. May Allah guide us all. Ameen
This chap was the HM that time , why didnot he stop ? no he is coming and telling the biggest lie ... no wonder congress got tight slap ... 100% we will ensure they will lose karnataka and kerala too ..kerala they have alliance with muslim league , which divided our nation . so midset is clear
they want rashtradrohis vote , so they can get into any level ... same afzal guru encouraged millitants to rape and kill innocent kashmiri pundiths ... more than 10,000 pundith womens were raped by islamic thugs and more than 60,000 killed and more than million driven out of kashmir ...

Sumesh,
The life starts when you are Died.. and surely we will come to know who is our CREATOR and the life after DEATH.. Seriously U need to learn about our CREATOR who promises heaven and hell and will give JUSTICE for the injustice done in this TEMPORARY material WORLD which many people are running over this... THINK and PONDER on who is worthy of worship . and learn about life after death... If U are honest the one who gave life will guide U>
in UK as per constitution no suspect can be detained for more than 6 days if they dont have any evidence . i don't know from where sir Ambedkar studied the constitution and implemented . In india a suspect can be hanged. laaa hawla wala kuwwatha illa billah.
Mr. Chidambaram should have said this information before his killing so that we could have saved an innocent man going in to gallow...how can a government answer this to God...some god will ask question with PM like hanuman, krishna, ganapathi etc....these Gods know real truth if Chaddis are believing in them....or they could have at least consulted Cow Goddess...
Every LIES will be OUT & EXPOSED and People will know CLEARLY the CHEDDI deception In-Sha ALLAH... People should go with the TRUTH , and not support the LIARS & DECEIVERS without VERIFYING the TRUTH.
