    I really Appreciate kerala CPM leader and CM for their contribution by feeding the Communist theory { Not Original Pro Islamic and anti non Islamic } .
    Once Kerala used to called God's own country sounds like soon its going to be God left this country.

    Just because there are five from Kannur in Syria with IS, it does not mean they are FIGHTing for the IS.

    IS folks need cooks, waiters and cleaners too.

    So, the Kannur men could be preparing and serving puttu, motta and chaaya/kaaphi to the fighters.

    Their share in heaven may be a bit less.
