Mr. Althaf,

Firstly a precious life has been lost, it is a matter of great grief and sorrow that a human life and animals have died. May the Almiighty give strength to the deceased family in this unrepairable loss.

Secondly never redicule anyone's religious sentiments, Everyone's religion and faith is lovable to them. It is not the teaching of Quran and our beloved Prophet to redicule anyone's belief's. Your comment shows that you are very ignorant of Islamic thoughts. Please educate yourself.

Gow matha couldn't save herself then how can people worship cows as god? No sense...
