    Dear paul d`souza, balakunje,

    I am not at all denying the fact that Christians have done good work for the society. Point out one statement in all my comments where I denied Christians social work, helping nature or contribution to education. We are very grateful from the bottom of our heart to such people.

    I have clearly mentioned we don't accept anti social activities from Christians or any body. As long as you serve mankind it is accepted everywhere.

    PLEASE READ MY COMMENTS AGAIN AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TRYING TO CONVEY.

    dear dinesh poojary, i do remember in my school time christian priests used to give free milk & food for children & they might never even thought in their mind either the student is christian, muslim or hindu. that food they used to beg for our sake. they bought a dicipline, good attitudes,manners & uniformity in socity with out looking either he is a hindu, muslim or christian. you think all they did is a waste of time...? ( today you are blaming them for doing good work which you could not do it )people who graduated from christian institutions today they reached from where to where & still they are greatfull for such institutions. if you don`t accept there is no medicine for this kind of dicease. india is not a country of ONLY hindu`s. india is a country for all indians. it is not your private property. we dont blame only BJP. we blame currupt politicians. we are paying taxes including you. what fecilities we are getting...? every year where sanctioned money gets diverted...? if they construct a fly over, they recover by tolls. but where money has been moved..? false projects, false contractors, false invoices...? jai ho barath.thank you.

    We hindu's teach humanity to children below 10 years. Not the religion. Teach some good things to your 7 year old nephew and make him good human being first.

    From the messages one could easily make out that there is deep rooted dislike towards Christianity in some minds and are hell bent to eradicate the religion. Do it if you can. But it is God who created the religion and human beings how ever they try not easy to do so without God willing to do it. Mind it.

    Mr.Poojari,
    every Indian has the right to choose the faith he thinks right under the constitution of India.
    Hindus of Orissa have the right to chose Christianity if they deem right for them.
    As such how can you justify the RECONVERSION OF CHRISTIANS to Hinduism (BY FORCE) by the communal Hindu leaders in Orissa?
    Is this not a pure case of forceible conversion (against the constitution of India????)

    @ Dinesh Poojary: If you are right, then by your 'logic' you must admit that it was all right for Kashmiri Muslims to rape, rob, murder, and expel their Kashmiri Hindu brethren from Kashmir Valley. Kashmir doesn't belong to them. The same thing in Tripura and Manipur where Christians are doing the same to Hindus. Tripura and Manipur doesn't belong to Hindus as well.

    Why are Hindus helpless in all those places, not to mention Bangladesh and Pakistan? You are so astoundingly absurd, i'm amazed! I showed your comment to Jane to my 7 year old nephew and he asked me if you are mad! Even a small child is wondering. I'm feeling really embarrassed even picking on you. To my fellow Christian brothers and sisters, i request you not to validate Dinesh by giving him the attention he so normally craves. His comments keep getting more and more bizarre.

    Dear Mr. Dinesh Poojary, Kundapura/Bengaluru,
    I quote your comments:You say that Somashekar commission is report is correct.
    You say that the statistics of Christians 2.2 percent is wrong and donot believe in that statistics.
    You say that don’t point fingers at others.
    You say that :We have Infosys Foundation, Ambani Foundation, Jindal trust like wise we have lakhs of charitable trusts to serve man kind. Don't think you people only doing some great job. But none of our trusts enforced Hinduism on other people.Unquote.

    Every tom dickens and Harry knows justice Somashekar commission’s report is false. Secondly, it is the state subject to keep law and order situation functioning well and the center can issue notices for breakdown of law and order. At least 3-5 letters must go from center for chaos of law and order situation without which the central cannot dissolve elected state assembly.

    Christian population is 2.2% and still diminishing due to edcation and less children. A couple of years back when there was a danger of church attacks and even police had the clue why the police haven’t enforced 144 section? When Christians started to protest then imposed 144 section? Very funny law enforcement.

    HERE IT IS WELL KNOWN AN INDIVIDUAL HAS ATTACKED THE CHURCH. IF HE IS A MENTALLY DISORDER PERSON WHY THEN HE DIDN’T ATTACKED A TEMPLE, A BUDDHIST TEMPLE OR A MOSQUE. WHY ONLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH?

    Your comments are senseless. Hindus never did forceful conversions. Come with a proof that Hindus did conversions. Indians are respected every corner of the world for our goodness.

    Residues means some people who does illegal activities. National Anthem doesn't need to reflect a religion. Is it mandatory according to you?

    Take the whole world dude, not only India. Will you be happy that you have got more places for conversion activities? But be careful in other countries.

    Faith is embeded in heart and mind. Flowers, fire, words are oral and physical presumtions. In Hinduism no one can be converted to high caste BRAHMIN, they are converted as low cast SHUDRAS AS per MANUSMRITI:

    The tongue of Shudra who spoke evil about Brahmin should be cut off (Apastamba Dharma Sutra II/10-26.
    Those who are with stinking conduct they will enter a stinking womb, either the womb of a dog or the womb of a swine or womb of Shudra (Chandogya Upanishad 5-10-7)
    Shudras must be prohibited from hearing, studying Vedas (Brahma Sutras 1.3.9.38)
    More on google Why Dr.Ambedkar burnt Manusmriti.

    Due to Brahmins discrimination of Shudra Hindus converted from, 850Bc to Jainism, from 500Bc to Budhism. Budhism was born in India but stamped out of India by Brahmins. Due to this discrimination Hinduism was confined to India only. In Asia from SriLanka to Japan there are more Budhists than Hindus.

    Mr Joseph F. Gonsalves, Bannur, Puttur / Mangalore,

    First point - Stop personal abuse. Even I don't drink or smoke, not even toddy. It is your culture to make drinks mandatory for everything. Farmers commits suicide because of natural calamity, drought etc.

    Malnutrition is due to poverty. Charitable trusts are doing their good job and helping many people. But there are still some unreached people, but in coming days they will be in good position. India is better compared to Africa in this regard. One suggestion for you people: Instead of buying religion from missionary funds, help the needy people. Serve the mankind, not the religion.

    It is your false allegations on police. Our police are not like you people, they don't do discrimination on community.

    As soon as the attack happened, govt took all security arrangements. Once again it is your false allegation. Don't blame the government. Order the CBI inquiry with the help of Oscar. Don't keep targeting others, you will have nothing by the end of the day. Take some positive steps.

    Hindus never involved in forceful conversions. We have proof against your activities. Kerala is the ideal example.

    You are the person who is pointing out fingers on us Christians and this person who has attacked the church single handedly is a brainwashed product/human of the fundamentals.
    If you say there is lots of charity by the Hindus why then the farmers commit suicide, die of hunger and malnutrition in India? Where is the charity involved? Seeing the astrology so that the given Charity should come back to them once again.
    I quote your comment: Do you want police protection while doing conversions? Unquote.
    Did Christians asked police protection for neither conversions nor Christians deserve protection for themselves? The government’s job is to protect the religious places from the fundamental goons.
    Christians are not doing any Forceful conversions. This brand of the production is from the Fundamentals.
    In Mangalore there are cases wherein the police haven’t accept Christian grievances/ cases because of this fundamental bjp and its associates.
    Finaly, Hindus have done conversions, Christians have done conversions, Buddhists have done conversions, Muslims have done conversions now which conversions are you speaking about Dear Mr. Poojary?

    @ Dinesh Poojari: Google "Convert or we will kill you, Hindu lynch mobs tell fleeing Christians". On the contrary, the only bogus claims of 'paid conversions' by Christians point to partisan Hindutva sites and the news reports state Hindu fundamentalist claims of paid conversions.

    Hindutva propaganda is not what veterans in Wikipedia would consider to be reliable sources, and those news reports do not definitively establish these as facts. BTW, conversions to Christianity are against the law??? Seriously, which planet do you hail from? This is a secular country, although imperfect, but still secular nevertheless.

    People of any faith are free to propagate their religions. Your insecurities about a few Hindus converting in the face of a declining Christian population shows how much you really have faith in your religion! Because it is all a power struggle after all, isn't it? You wan't minorities to be second class citizens in a Hindu theocracy, or better yet disappear from our country. People like you only pay lip-service to respecting human rights and other religions, but in your heart, you don't really believe it.

    Being stingy is all right! Instead, you ought to be ashamed of being the dishonest ignorant bigoted hypocritical cryto-fascist that you are. I'm not insulting, just giving you a reality check. Your reality is ugly, but that's not my fault. You are a disgusting pathetic excuse for a human being, and it's people like you who enable these sort of attacks to happen.

    Nityananda Swamy is a dongi swamiji who preaches something and does something else. But having known the fact still people follow him including foreigners. That is their utter stupidity.

    There are some other Hindu trust or people who preaches PEACE OF MIND, ART OF LIVING etc. But never preaches Hinduism. That is the difference between you people and we people. We never cross our limits of operation.

    Remember, Swami Vivekananda is the first person in the world who told "all religions are equal" in the "Sarva Dharma Sammelana" in Chicago, where as others told their religion is above all. Great Mahatma Gandhiji had said "Devarobbane, nama halavu".

    THAT IS WHAT WE ARE. WE RESPECT EVERY RELIGION. YOU SHOULD BE VERY LUCKY TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY.

    We give holiday for Christmas, good Friday etc. But we are not getting holiday for Deepawali, Ugadi, Makara Sankranti in US/UK and other countries though we are present in significant numbers.

    Take the example of MOTHER THERESA who worked for serving the society irrespective of religion. We have a great respect for such people, we never forget her contributions.

    This is your false allegation that Someshekhar report was false. If you think you have not got justice, go to Sonia Madam with the help of Oscar Fernandis and order the CBI enquiry and get the culprit punished. Why you people are silent and doing blame game? Central govt can order CBI inquiry for all church attacks in the country.

    Don't point fingers towards others.

    We have Infosys Foundation, Ambani Foundation, Jindal trust like wise we have lakhs of charitable trusts to serve man kind. Don't think you people only doing some great job. But none of our trusts enforced Hinduism on other people.

    Section 144 can not be imposed whenever and wherever you want. If the situation goes out of control, then the govt will bring 144 section. The state govt was able to control the attacks and maintain peace immediately.

    And for your kind notice: Section 144 prohibits assembly of five or more persons. But see now, this man Shibu has attacked church single handedly.

    Police accepted all cases irrespective of religions. What else you want? Do you want police protection while doing conversions? That will not be accepted any where in the world. Do not spread the hatred and bring the gap in the society.

    Christian Religious leaders must take quick action and take serious actions to stop these unholy actions by antisocial elements. Rather than shouting in empty ground where nonbody can hear except god, leaders must choke out a actionplan to prevent these from happening. A immediate meeting needed to choke out action plan including intellectual from community. These incidents have happened now continuosly by communal elements.If we do not stop these immediately we are answrable to almighty for nonaction . Please lets convene a meeting take place asap in Mangalore to stop this from mhappening. How dare this man entered the holy place in church.If needed We must take moral support from other really good people from Hindu & muslims too .There are plenty of good people there too who will support us.

But we have enough proof for conversion activities by christians. Go to Google and search for "christian conversions in India'. You will get plenty of results. Unquote.
    We have enough proof and no need to go to google, what was done to Christians in Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and now in Karnataka. Why the justice Somashekar commission falsified the truth? Why the police did not slap 144 section during church attacks in Mangalore? The partiality is going on against the Christians even Christian cases are not accepted by the police who are brainwashed by the fundamentals.
    Christians are not utilizing minorities help because this involves corruption. Christians are the least corrupted people.
    Once again why in India Christian population is diminishing from 2.5 to 2.2% Did you not found this in google?
    Dinesh Poopjary may be you have not done forceful conversions but the Hindu fundamentals have done so much forceful conversions. Did you not found this in google?
    IN THE UNITED STATES 40 BILLIONAIRES GOT TOGETHER AND INVOLVED THEMSELVES IN CHARITY.
    THE RICHEST PEOPLE ARE IN INDIA. WHERE IS THE CHARITY BY THE HINDUS? DO THEY NEED TO SEE ASTROLOGY TO GIVE CHARITY SO THAT THE GIVEN CHARITY COME BACK THEM. Ridiculous comment. Open your eyes and minds dear Mr. Poojary.

If you treated all equally as humans,you would have just given your comments about this guy Shibu & expressed your views about him as a 'person' for 'his actions' and not attack the whole community etc. if someone were to be raped or murdered tomrw, i for one would make sure that the accused were punished.not go around cursing his/her family or community! where is the sense in all this!?!??!
    conversions take place everywhere Dinesh, even in the gulf people come on television speaking of their happiness after leaving one religion and adopting another! it goes on everywhere! So what!? if you want to get converted ... DO SO.. if not... then carry on with your life! you have been doing a great job not being influenced and sticking to your religion so far.so what are you afraid of now?
    this conversion campaign u keep ranting about is like the election campaigning wher people go around convincing others to change their minds!

    Dear Mr. Dinesh Poojary,
    You have failed to prove your comment through statistics (Why Hindus are 80% which completely rests your claim of conversions in India. I quote your comment Help poor irrespective of their cast, creed and religion if you are really good hearted. Don't bring religious aspect while helping. Unquote. We Christians do not need your advise whom to help and whom not to help because the help which Christians do is spiritually guided by Jesus Christ. There are highly educated, atheists, terrorists, the rich, the poor who have accepted the faith of Jesus Christ willingly without luring. If you need I can even name them. There is a long list of such peoples.
    I quote your comment, I never said all Christian institutions are favoring conversions. Unquote. None of the Christian institutions are involved in conversions. These are allegations by the fundamental Hindus for brain washing for vote bank politics by the bjp & its associates. Christianity is based on Love thy neighbor as you love yourself. Can anybody accept the faith of another through gun point that too in a secular nation like India? Are you commenting with sense? If the poor person has nothing to eat & to provide him to eat is luring in your point of view? Choosing a faith of another’s is a birth right of a person & the constitution of India aptly supports this fact. There r scores/masses of Harijans converting to Buddhism which u r not objecting, seems to be u r jealous of Christians.

    For your kind notice: Hindus never did forced conversions. It is a built story by you.

    But we have enough proof for conversion activities by christians.

    Go to Google and search for "christian conversions in India'. You will get plenty of results.

    It was Mahatma Gandhi's choice to work in South Africa. Many people of UK/USA/China/Japan are working in Bengaluru though they belong to rich countries. It purely depends on their profession, requirement, interests etc. Don't build a new story here.

    India had good natural resources. It was looted by your ancestors. No doubt about it.

    VHP, RSS, BD belong to India. They don't have operations overseas.

    The ISCON is present in other countries to serve the Hindu people there. ISCON never practiced forced conversions. It is operating within its limits.

    I am not saying other people never got converted to Hindus. But we never forced them to do so.

    But yours is different. You are buying religion in India through your missionary funds. If some one is converting voluntarily, we dont have any problem. You are doing such a ugly practice. We will not let this happen.

    Also note that not all schools, hospitals, charitable trusts in India are owned by Christians. Most of the christian students study in Hindu schools, many take free treatment in Hindu hospitals. We never enforced Hinduism on them. We treat them humans.

    Mr.Dinesh Poojary, I fully agree with your comments. I would like to bring to your attention that Archipbishop Desmond tutu Said "When missionaries came to Africa, we had the land and they had the Bible. They taught us to pray, so we closed our eyes to pray. When we opened our eyes, we had the Bible in our hand and they had the land". This is true story all over the world. Frst stop your church mates from doing word-of-mouth propoganda about how one massiha is going to come and save us all and why we should be in his group. Rest all will fall in line.

    I cant forgive all the missionaries who do conversions. If you want to do service to mankind, it can be done to people of other religions as well. It is not necessary to convert them to your religion first and then feed them.

    Most of the religions in the world have spread by use of strength, sword and suppresion of rights. If I am not wrong Pope himself made such a statement.

    You do not need to teach me the history of India. Christains started coming to India in 1498 to plunder this country. If they had visited our country 2000 years back, then it might be for religious campaign.

    I have seen your religious campaign at the age of 6 when two white dressed women visited my house and distributed pamphlets about Christianity. Hindus are minority in USA/UK/Germany/Australia etc. But did any Hindu in those countries practiced these non sense?

    Remember, a snake will never bite you unless you cause some problems to it.

    I am not spreading hatred. You people are silently doing that. Don't think your under the carpet activities goes unnoticed.

    If I think I have committed any crime, I will seek the forgiveness from god. Don't comment like an angel.

    @ Dinesh Poojary: A brief history check - Christians came to India in the first century AD. In other words, it existed in India right from it's infancy, before it even became a major religion in the Roman Empire. The first Christians in India were the Syrian Catholic Malabar Nasranis of Kerala. The 'upper castes' among them are descendants of Hebrews, Nairs and Namboodri Brahmins.

    The 'lower castes' among them are descended from converts in the last five centuries. A native Christian community even existed in modern-day Maharashtra before it died out in a century or so after that.

    Lastly, the remaining Christians are almost completely indigenous. For instance, if you trace the family trees of all Konkani Catholics, they should meet with those of their Hindu brethren somewhere in the mid-16th century. We could be called 'indigenous', if by that, you mean that we have lived in India for thousands of years.

    However, for the sake of argument, let's suppose that you are right! That begs the question. What exactly do you mean by 'indigenous'? Our ancestors migrated from the plains of central Africa 65,000 years ago, and the original natives came to India 30,000 years back.

    The Indo-Aryans arrived 6000 years back, and the Indo-Scythians even less. Why are the Anglo-Indians, Parsis, Indian Jews, or certain Muslim groups not indigenous, because they are of relatively recent origins? It doesn't make sense. If you state that it is because they don't share your culture, then that's unjust.

    One Small example Mahatma Gandhi was working in South Africa, if India was rich what was the necessity to work in other countries. In the olden days even a child is born in India the Hindu kings were taxing the citizens. God made this earth for humans to dwell in there is no bar/restriction to live anywhere in the world.

    Why the VHP, the RSS, the ISCON are converting the people in foreign countries? Do Christians say stop this? Where r you Mr. Poojary? Are you in this world? Read the History.

    Hindus have done conversions, Christians have done conversions, Buddhists have done conversions, Muslims have done conversions now which conversions are you speaking.

    History is repeating itself because humans get experience and die with their experience. The new generation is thinking with new ideas but the ideas crops within them are already experienced by the old. Now we are witnessing new inventions and new technology.

    Dear fellow Christians, the average Karnataka Hindu doesn't give a damn about us or our religious institutions. A small minority supports these attacks, while the remainder stay silent and choose not to protest these attacks done in their name. Else they would have to oppose their own brothers. They wouldn't want to do that.

    It's better yet for them to instead make excuses for these events. Their apathy towards our plight makes them just as guilty. The real reason these attacks occur is not because of supposed 'forced conversions'. These attacks are aimed to create an atmosphere of fear, and show Christians they don't belong here. We are being persecuted because we are not Hindus.

    Just say that the next time you are being confronted with bullshit claims of forced conversions. Don't even bothering validating such claims with a response. Karnataka already leads all the other states when it comes to anti-Christian attacks in India. My guess is that it will only get worse. These radical Hindu outfits and parties will continue to exist, unless India adopts true Secularism (separation of church and state), as opposed to the current phony Nehruvian one.

    Hey Dolphy, Mangalore,

    Helping poor is welcome by everyone. But you are buying poors for your selfishness. This is not accepted. A good hearted person will help others without expecting anything in return. What you people are doing is purely commercial - "We will pay you so & so money, you accept Christianity"
    If you are really doing some good cause, then the religious aspect should not come there. You should treat everyone as human beings first. But this is where the problem you have. Even the god will not favor the discrimination on racism.

    I never said all christian institutions are favoring conversions. I pointed out one school which was doing conversions. If it was not highlighted by media and taken action, they would have propagated conversions to other institutions as well. Like this school, there might be few others doing same thing, but never known to public.

    I know Aloysius, Canara, Milagres institutions. I have great respect towards these colleges and I am proud of them.

    Secondly, you said about giving police complaints against people involved in conversions. When you are spending crores of Rupees for mass conversion, it is not difficult for you to look after few police men and some politicians with few lakhs of rupees and make them tell that people got converted voluntarily. This is the bitter truth! You do all these with the help of some ugly politicians.

    Secondly, Hindus are not involved in covertions and Hindus have not done conversions? Can we charistians attack fundamental hindus who are involved in covnersions?
    Thirdly, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3
    The poor are only working in the field.
    Whether it be a harvest field, construction company, a factory, a house maid or a nurse who cares the patients. (Doctors fully utilize the nurses and pay very less salary).

    How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Mark 10:23
    If there are no poor people how will have your thoddy get business? All will drink whisky only.
    Thirdly, There is no forceful conversion so far if at all they were dragged into by the bjp and its associates to prove their point in the assembly to pass an anti conversion law mind it.

    This is an individual's act unless proven that this man belonged to and was brain washed by a group. if a man/woman commits murder/theft or any other crime, we do not blame the whole community to which they belong or their family. even the law punishes the individual involved. So stop berating christians,hindus,muslims etc or political parties etc ... there is no point in sitting and 'ASSUMING' who is involved and cursing them without solid proof.

    as for those talking about conversion etc.. there are christians within the community asking other sects of christianity to convert ... so its not only YOU! but yes ... it is indeed UP TO YOU! if you want to get converted, go ahead. if you dont...THEN DONT. if you feel that its not 'CONSTITUTIONALLY RIGHT' then go by the law and file a case against the concerned individual/s . Not go around like hooligans desecrating holy places and hurting sentiments. it will only be a vicious cycle and come back to bite people in their backsides. the reason that would be stated would be, ''they hurt us So we will hurt them too'' and THIS NONSENSE will never end.

    so we Indians should stop making a mockery of ourselves in front of the whole world! we look like retards and hence make it easier for the terrorists to come into our country via air/land/sea and toy around with our lives!

    Mr JOEL, kuwait,

    I dont know about roman Catholics or any other communities. But I say campaign to convert Hindus to Christians is happening in Karnataka especially more in DK and Udupi districts.

    Getting converted voluntarily is left to that individual. We don't have any objection for that and it is permitted in constitution.

    What I am talking about is 'Convincing people of other religions to accept Christianity' in the name of helping the poor. This is not the help, this is their selfishness. If they have good heart they should help irrespective of caste, religion.

    Just 3 moths back an incident was reported by SUVARNA NEWS 24X7 that forceful conversion was being taken place in a christian school in Mangalore. What is their intention? If some one wants to study in christian schools, he/she should be a christian? School is for education, not for religious matters. Did any Hindu school practiced such non sense?

    Christians might be minority in India now. But they have plans to become majority by buying the other religions with the foreign money. Kerala is the real example for this.

    I personally respect all religions and I condemn this attack. Instead of attacking worship place, attack the persons who involves in conversions.

    India is called Bharatha Khanda and we have a great history of our religion, culture and tradition. The world knows about this. Hinduism is born in this country. The migrants should not interfere with our sentiments. We respect everyone.

    Mr. Dinesh Poojary,
    I understand your sentiments but I think that conversions has nothing to do with this incident. If what you are saying is true, then a good portion of people attending Catholic institutions would have become catholic. As far as I know, Catholics are least bothered about conversions. Not every missionary is a Catholic and there are numerous other evangelical movements which has nothing to do with the Catholic church. We being a small fraction of the population are peace loving people and mild.

    The accused may be either be ill-advised by somebody or he may be mentally not sound. We hope whatever be the case, he gets sufficient rehabilitation and that he does not get treated harshly for this.

    Let the police investigate the matter and punish the culprit who has been caught red handed. People behind the epoosode too needs to be arrested. But before completion of investigation do.n blame BJP / RSS. give rest your brain.

    Terrorism thrives on poverty and a brain wash mechanism which makes a person believe that him and his community have been given a bad deal by the ones who they perceive as enemies. This obsession is seen by fanatics who constantly keep on pointing a few incidents against their community while conveniently forgetting or denying wrongs done by themselves to others. This is a common trait of all terrorists groups.

    Gandhi had said - "Devarobbane, nama halavu". These kind of incidents should not occur. It is not good for society. Just interrogate him what made him to do so. He will reveal the truth.

    Dear Christian Friends, please stop doing conversions by offering money to poor people. All religions are equal and has its own importance to its people.

    The constitution allows the people to get converted if he/she wishes to. If you want to help the poor people, help them. But don't expect them to be converted to your religion in return. It is against the sentiments of the people.

    In the early 90's (91-92), I have seen Christians visiting the area of Kundapura/Byndoor for campaigning about their religion by distributing the pamphlets of Jesus and Christianity. They have visited my home also and we just ignored them. Please note that every religion has its own importance. Stop doing such things.

    A person will definitely get frustrated if his/her family members get converted forcefully.
    Will you people keep quite if Hindu people in Christian countries motivates conversion? Think in that sense also.

    Nearly 50% of Keralites have been converted and have become Joseph, Thomos, Fernandis, Rodrigues, Peter, James, Samuel etc. Please do not repeat the same in Karnataka. India is a country of many religions. Give respect to others and take respect.

    This person has to be dealt with professionally. He needs to be firstly subjected to a thorough psychiatric examination to check if his mental deficiencies caused him to commit this act. If so he needs to be sent to a psychiatric ward under police security.

    However, if it is found that this was a deliberate planned act committed wilfully or maybe by being brainwashed then he must face the full force of the law and be punished.

    To me it looks like a deliberate act and later he pretended to be insane probably to escape punishment.
    It could also be a case of being possessed by the Devil, who knows ? Anyway it is difficult to pinpoint without a thorough investigation.

    Just recall the incident happen a week ago some miscreants pelted stones at school Mother Mary's statue early moring what is your say about that. "LET IT GO".

    This is a clear cut intention behind.

    Unless Justification is done there will be always a disturbance in mind someday the chances burst out wid drastic consequences.

    ALL PEACE LOVERS DON'T WAN THIS TO HAPPEN

    Well planned,organised and implimented by BD,YS,RSS with the support of BJP who is in power to cause damage to the minorities, 2 days back there was an article where flat association memebers do not want to give flats or rent it to muslims and now this which has happened often and nothing is being done. What is our Minority Commission Chairman Mr.Mannipady doing. It is high time that all minorities go on hunger strike or call Anna and his team to visit Mangalore as it is being the number 1 hindutva state in the country.

    I think as Donald said Catholics should do soul searching why such hatred (if it is so but i would say it is ill-will) has developed which wasnt there earlier. First of all find out whether Shibu is a catholic and if so you will know the reason yourself. Tolerance towards other religions is the essence of Hinduism and many religions in India, including catholics owe to them. Unfortunately, they have conveniently forgotten all this and are now accuse Hindus for all their ills. Do some soul searching guys before pointing accusing finger at others. Something is utterly wrong somewhere.

    The young man is surely a schizophrenic. He has acted as per his hallucinations. The police must treat this person humanely. Send him for a mental assessment. Thank God he has not taken any life in the process. Statues can be repaired and other things be restored but if human mind goes broken hardly could be restored. Is some time rigid religious up bringing is the cause? As some comments project how fanatic Catholics are while this is a clear case of mental illness. If want to know more watch the movie “The Beautiful Mind” or “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. It will be good also to spend some time with a patient or his/her family.

    This is intentional planned crime,
    there is no forgiving. He should be punished. He is not a case of mental disturbance. This is totally organised. Let us see what kind of punishment Law gives. Don't let this happen again.

    'If it is a state of temporary psychological distress'... it means, the root cause is hatred of catholic (christion) community or their worshiping place (church), it developed into temporary psychological distress. Surely it will turn into permanent one. Why this hatred developed in his mind? Concerning people should find out and treat him. Otherwise he is nuisence to public and big headach to his family. He is not fit for his job. Tomorrow he may create scene in the bus in which he works.

    What surprises me is 'where were these mentally deranged people until a few years ago?' In the entire history of Mangalore, we have not seen any people attacking the places of worship because of insanity.Ofcourse, there were attacks on the places of worship in the past but it was for reasons of anything other than psychological disorder. Is it just a co-incidence that the number of maniac people have multiplied during the BJP rule? I strongly condemn this act of idiocracy.

We should respect all religions and live in hormony like we did in good old days. Unless this man has mental issues, he should be punished so it will be a lesson for others.

    How people feel if Christians do the same to hindu temples. Do they aceept or be happy.People god is one and why all these tamasha in Mangalore. My good friends are hindus even today and never come accross any such hatred as what we see in Mangalore. These bewda's corrupt politicians are all involved with these games. This poor bus conductor is hungry for his daily bread may have recived some money to perform such crime. I realy don't trust the politicians in Mangalore who is very hungry for money, power, control and good for nothing. Very sad and time for communities come together to educate our youth to resist or fight back with these people. Good days are gone, turning one cheek to another no more. Now time to act and stop once and for all. May be time to give our life so that no one dare to touch our gods houses. Police is good for nothing, Only supports these activities and happy to see more to come. Very disgrace police department, corrupt irresponsible politicians, and handfull of goondas to perform the task based on politicians and policemens

    Tell us how you can protect the MINORITIES or are we just your PUNCHING BAG? – SHAME SHAME.
    Dear Christians, Please remain calm. This was expected and if we reciprocate we would be playing into their hands. Let us wait and watch, remember “BHAGWAN KE GHAR DER HAI ANDHER NAHIN HAI”.

Do you think an insane will do that.Never....Christians let us love and pray for all the people who does such things. But let the Law do the best of it. As catholics let us pray for the people of the country.

    In any era, human history has always witnessed series of attacks, killings and intolerance between people all over the world because of their differences. Religion is one of the most common reasons why people attacked and continue to attack each other.
    It seems that some people even have a tendency to perceive only words as the private property of a religion. Or attributing just one person’s wrong behavior to his whole religious community and trying to attack them in every possible way as if it would solve all the problems and bring a peaceful and fair environment to the whole society. Contrary to what is believed by them, these attacks and prohibitions do not bring something more than increase in violent movements and hatred between each other. One kills another, the other wants to take revenge one bans or forbids something against the rights or freedoms of another, which creates an incurable vicious cycle.

    Therefore, there will always be differences between people, let it be religion, region or language, but if we all have to live on the same soil of the same earth, breathe the same atmosphere, bathe in the same waters and tan under the same sun, we have to show a tendency towards more tolerance, more conciliation rather than seeing ourselves superior.
