Mangaluru, Jan 16: “I have attended several major events organised by various organisations and political parties at Nehru Maidan. But this is the only event which instigated me to think seriously about life,” said Arun Kumar, city based a college student.

Arun Kumar was one of the thousands of knowledge seekers who were impressed by theThe Miracle', an ongoing exhibition on Islam, organised by Karnataka Salafi Association from January 9 to 15 at Nehru Maidan in the heart of the city.

He also revealed that when hired an auto-rickshaw to the exhibition venue on Sunday evening, the driver Johnson too started praising the exhibition. “This shows how people of all faiths were attracted by this exhibition. I salute the organisers for allaying the misconceptions about Islam,” he added.

According to the organisers, though the majority of the visitors were Muslims, thousands of non-Muslims too attended the exhibition and many of them appreciated the selfless effort.

A talk onthe real message of Quran' by Zaid Patel, the founder of the iPlus Telemedia Private Ltd, on Sunday night attracted nearly thirty thousand people. Husain Salafi, president of Sharjah based Indian Islahi Centre, explained that terrorism and Islam cannot coexist.

The exhibition premises was spread over 30,000 square feet of 400 plus informative panels in English and Kannada. Volunteers explained tenets of the religion to the visitors in two air-conditioned pavilions, for women and men separately, at the exposition.

All the panels at the expo were done based on scientific models. Topics such as embryology that speaks about science and Islam; and dangers of alcohol that tells people alcohol does not make anyone healthy or strong, are explained at length. The other counters relate to wonders of the human body, where the purpose of each part of the body is explained.

There was also section to eradicate misconceptions about Islam and clarify that terrorist organisations such as ISIS that use the name of Islam are in fact anti-Islamic groups. There were also separate video theatres in the two languages that offer multimedia sermons.

"This is an attempt to eradicate evil ideas that people have about Islam. To become good from bad and also a campaign against substance abuse, wastage of food and terrorism. The end result we want is that people of all religion to give away communal thinking and live in peace," said Mohammed Haneef Uppinangady, president of the association.

Commenting on people often linking Islam to terrorism and IS, Haneef stressed that Islam teaches about peace and Holy Book clearly points out that nobody has a right to kill anyone. If one does, he/she is killing the entire mankind. The exhibition also exhorted visitors not to get attracted by the teaching of IS and terror outfits and it is against the religion.

Viren
Wake up man.. Even indian media could not prove that Dr.Zakir naik is inspiring youths to join ISIS then how can you prove that. If you have proof of this then go and submit to indian government so that they can take action instead barking here.
One more thing if my allah decide something to happen then it will happen no one in this earth can stop that,... Again no one..

Salafis are the ones who had tried to bring Zakri Naik ( who inspired youths to join ISIS) to Mangalore. Now they are trying to say Islam and ISIS is different. They are fooling people. What they are doing is missionary job. How did mangalore police allow this to happen?

If U depend on false media information about islam and Muslims... Many will lose in knowing the reality of LIFE which the CREATOR has given us... to know the TRUTH about life , we should look into the Source... everything will be cleared when we take the knowledge from the original source...

Non MUslims should atleast read one time \the QURAN\" once in their lifetime at the earliest... to know what islam says about LIFE on this earth and the hereafter .... God can give us LIFE again after death, the way he had given us first time... its simple for him... (Praise b to God alone)"

I really appreciate the hard work of KSA for spreading the true message of islam to non muslims. I also believe that all of mangaloreans had attended the exhibition except soofis and so called sunnis and SSF

Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP leader CP Yogeshwar has slammed Yediyurappa supporters and said the JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy is supporting BJP.

Speaking to the reporters, Yogeshwar said, "Congress president DK Shivakumar and Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former CM HD Kumaraswamy, both are Yediyurappa supporters."

"His words seem to support the BJP. All that Kumaraswamy had said, during our government's rule, are happening including the officers they mentioned are being transferred. He has come forward to support BJP from the back door," Yogeshwar.

While reacting to allegations made by CP Yogeshwar, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president DK Shivakumar has said that earlier Yogeshwar requested for State Legislative Council (MLC) member ticket and now such people are blaming me without any evidence. This shows his dishonesty to his party and the kind of person he is."

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 26: Sister Lucy Kalappura, one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal, on Saturday claimed that she is being targeted at the convent and not being provided food.

Sister Lucy was dismissed from Franciscan Clarist congregation for supporting sisters protesting against the Bishop.

"I am being targeted at the convent and not being provided food. When I asked the reason, I was told I have been dismissed from the convent and they are not responsible for feeding me," said Sister Lucy while speaking to the reporters.

She has alleged that all this began after the release of her autobiography "Karthavinte Namathil" which means 'In the name of God'. In her book she had alleged sexual misconduct among priests and nuns.

"They prepare food and after having it they lock it in the cupboard. When I asked the reason behind this, they told me that I have been dismissed," said Sister Lucy.

"Now I am managing it all by myself with egg and tapioca that grows in the convent compound. Earlier they used to keep the leftover lunch and I used to adjust with that, but after my book was released, they started to lock the food in the cupboard," she added.

Sister Lucy also claimed that she had filed three complaints with the police on August 19, August 20 and on December 13. They had taken her statement but no action was taken.

"If the police would have taken some action against the convent authorities, they would not have behaved this way. An FIR was registered based on the three complaints but no action was taken. This gives them more power to act against me. I have drafted a letter to the Chief Minister to raise my complaint," said Sister Lucy.

Bishop Mulakkal, a senior member of the Roman Catholic clergy in India, was arrested in 2018 following allegations by a nun that he repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted her at Kuravilangad convent between 2014 and 2016, a charge that he denies.
