June 25th, 2011 9:57 amAre you a muslim? if yes then you never ever born again don’t think like that,you should be proud on muslim not on indian .
And you will have to try live like those who were symbol of success and proud of islam.through millions and millions people become Muslim and accept islam as religion.
Make your life stylish accept life style on which islam proud on you.

June 25th, 2011 11:57 amits not good that you are talking about religion,,, its all about patriotism (love to your nation),, if i belong to india then must i love india,, either i love my country from where i belong,, where is the matter of religion in this,, a person who belongs from pak ,, america,, russia,, n he loves his country,, is he muslim….? i have so many friends ,,those are muslim,, but for them the country is first,,, n those are known as a indian……………………………..not (religion)
s m z hasan
July 12th, 2011 7:24 amu should respect all the religions…..so, don not hurt to another religion’s people. bcoz all the religions are true,as a muslim i believe that kind of speech……but most of religion’s people,they don not know the true,we should study on every religion than we can put coments on somethings……thnx
ansar jan
August 7th, 2011 3:41 amto be a real muslim, you should love ur mother land
sonam ch
November 27th, 2011 3:57 amgo you fuck boy.we should love our country or yours?and if you are a real muslim then come to our pakistan and see the beautiful places of pakistans.i am proud to be a pakistani

August 17th, 2011 12:52 amFaiza get lost. Anyone who puts religion before country ought to be banished from the country. If you are an Indian and proud of being muslim before being Indian then there is a place called Pakistan you can go there. But beauty of India is, she tolerates unpatriotic and fundamentalist like you.

September 18th, 2011 7:43 pmMy Answer to Faiza
What do you know about islam. I am muslim too and India is my motherland and I love to born their again and again. My forefather came along with Babur the Moghul from Afghan and settled in India Rajasthan and dedicated their life to this beautiful land. And i will be grateful to my father who stayed back in India after partition coz he loved his matrabhumi. Religion is not bigger than motherland and its culture. Only Pakistani muslim (so called) tarnished the islam image and become pain in the ass of India due to their blind faith. Both nation got freedom at the same time but look where is india and where is Pakistan. Instead of developing their education and economic they start developing hatred and today result is in front of them. Islam is such a beautiful religion which teaches beautiful things not be a human bomb. So stop the wrong preaching about Islam and love India and its people. Trust me you will never regret.
