Dr. Zita Lobo, RAK Medical and Health Sciences University

Once peace loving Mangalore now in news for all the wrong reasons especially for its volatile outbursts of communal hostility. When religion is devoid of spirituality all that remains is greed for political gain. Mr Khadar's suggestion is definitely timely and sensible.
When people of all faiths pray whether in mosques, churches or temples let the prayers go up and blessings come down. Anything more than this is only politics in the name of religion.
Mr. Nagesh, the suggestion given by Mr. Khader is to stop religious conventions. Its not a discussion on different cuisine!

Mr. Ashok Murthy, your candid  observation is great. Even though  education will not change anybody
as a totally refined person, but  it does a lot of great things to  make a person better in this world.
The Christian community of India,  especially the Catholic Church,  is givng greater emphasis to educate  the downtrodden section of the  society, so that they can catch  up with the forward march of
the educated society. Great comment Mr. Murthy.

Nagesh Maamu, your comments "WE PERFORM PUJA & TREAT LIKE A MOTHER (GOU MATHA)" does not fit well with the recent cow/goat/buffalo sacrifices in North Indian temples. I am sure you are referring to yourself when saying "WE". Democracy (letting you do what you want) and "Stop eating Beef" (telling him not to do what he wants) lectures contradict each other.

Brother, Ashok Moorthy/USA, Well said and good observation. I agree with you. Only education can bring elightenment and empowerment. Yes the need of the hour is to educate muslim community. Along with spiritual enlightemment material knowledge too is important to lead a more justified, fulfilled, peaceful life. However, wearing burqa or tenets of burqa is not a sign of ignorance, but its s sign of compliance of Islamic teachings. Education will surely bring about revolutionary changes. I am grateful to my parents who have given us enough and good quality education to lead a decent life and the legacy is being continued by us and hope it will further strenghtened and carried forward by the generations to come. Now almost all memebrs of my family and dextended family, both male and females are well educated and professionals.

Do not hoard the beef release to Market. Secondly I quote YOU ARE LIVING LIKE A " KOOPA MANDUKA" Unquote. You are fully in the well crying only when the rain is coming. Mr. nagesh do not use bicycle, motor cycle, car, buses and trains because all these were invented by the beef eaters who were physically and mentally strong and capably invented new, new things.

The latest is the internet which you are commenting. All those people had plenty of beef and their health was also good and the wealth (inventions) of them we are using. I wanted to eat a small or an enormous quantity of beef it is my right. You don't eat beef as the prices are going up due to more and more beef consumers. Stay in the well only don't come out.

Mangalore has turned into a center for religious fanatics. Be it pub attack, Burqua controversy or recent attacks on News Paper offices. Catholics are leading the district in modern culture. However, my Muslim brothers and sisters are lagging behind. I request them to get more educated, empowered and modernised so all these issues can be resolved.

It is not religious conventions that need to be banned but religious arrogance and intolerance. Why do we still boast of religious superiority while the behavior of its followers brings shame and disgrace? Have we forgotten terrorism advocated and practiced right from religious leaders who speak about God who is "all Merciful"? Our younger minds should be trained for non-violence and to uphold and defend the worth and dignity of every individual irrespective of caste, creed or nationality.

In this context we have a good set of law enforcement people in Mangalore to take care of any situation. Let every one make use of their right to practice their religion without of course indulging in any kind of provocation to other segments. People have to face facts and not run away from situations.

Mr. Khadar, nobody will cut off the head due to headache. You might have proposed this plan with
a good intention, but you were in a bout of amnesia, and thought that you were in the former
USSR.

If religious conventions are being conducted by any religion to  instigate hatred and bloodshed,
those conventions have to be targeted. But simply telling that any religious conventions must
not be conducted in Mangalore for the sake of peace, that is totally irrelevant and out of context.
Your panacea will do more harm than good.

Yes Mr. Nagesh India is democratic country and everybody has the right to practice any religion ,

They also got the right to eat whatever they want (except human being)

Then what is your problem if somebody consume beef in your neighborhood? Is it inhumanity?

Because of democracy because of more freedom You guys are fighting with each other in the name of religion is it humanity ?

Religious convention should made I agree with that , then why its harming others when its coming to an end??

Tell me what is the connection between Peace and not eating beef? ..I read your comments many time you only praise the BJP and their followers and you hate congress ,JDS, and other who eat beef… dear friend don’t worry about others if your true Indian try to unite all

don’t try to make borders among people . We all are from one country and say thank God that we are independent .

think about our country , We are moving backward because of our faith issues . Try to help others , try to unite others , this is what religion saying .

if your really follow it ….you born to Hindu family so you are Hindu , and you are proud of it ,we too we also proud to be Muslims and Christians

we should respect other religions , then they only respect your religion , before all .that be a Indian first ,

We all are addressed as Indians only Indians .no matter what religion we practice. So that proud to be an Indian first. .. As I do..

I totally agree with Mr. Khader. The religious processions and coventions these days are certainly not devotional practices. It has now degenerated into a show of strength and an attempt to threaten other communities. Religious meetings can be well restricted to places of worship and all conventions on roads and maidans may well be banned. I am sure God is not pleased with our processions and conventions, but with the disposition of our hearts and minds and our longing for a peaceful co existence.... Mr. Nagesh Naik may please avoid nasty, unsavoury comments...

The administration should think seriously about holding religious convention in the heart of any city. The whole city becomes stand still and that causes lot of inconvenience to the students, senior citizens, office goers and women. The after effect is such convention is like the after effects of Tsunami with the maidan being dug to erect the poles, scattering of plastic bottles/tumblers, food packets, handbills, banners and what not all over the places.
For that matter any big meetings should not be allowed in the city centre maidans instead they should arrange it on the outskirt of the city such as a big open ground with ample car-parking space like Alva's Virasat at Mijar in Moodbidri.
Most of the communal tension is due to instigation by the leaders in such conventions hence there should be a strict code of conduct on their speeches, banners, posters, CDs etc.

Well said Mr. Abdul Khader. Your concern as a MLA must be appreciate. You shown an example for all politician that you are the MLA first, then leader of particular community. Now a day’s all religious conventions are provocative each other’s than preaching religious values to its followers. My humble request to all religious heads to follow & preach the basic teachings of their religion rather than commenting on other religion.

No religion accept hurting others feelings & attack on innocent people. Our prophet Mohammad (PBH) give an example, during his time a old unbeliever women every day through garbage on him on his way for masjid. One day prophet(PBH) pass the way without any garbage. He came to know from the people that, the old women was ill so she can’t do her work. Immediately prophet went to the old women to ask about her well being. This is the way our beloved prophet(PBH) shown to face problem rather than making violent protest. If both Muslims & no-Muslims learn more on their own religion as well as others. Sure we will feel ashamed on us for all which we do on the name of religion.

India is a democracy with secular credentials. Religious gathering cant be banned and must be permited. But the organisers should make a note that such events should not be used to incite communual violence and hate. They should preach the true message of that religion and disorted and malicious propaganda should be avoided. Only issues pertaining to that particular religion need to be discussed and nowhere attacks on other religions is to be permitted. But in reality, such podiums are used to spit venom against other religions and unfounded allegations and hate ideologies are preached. There should be a mechanism to check on the speeches and its contents and if found unconstitutional, the speakers and organisers must be held accountable and stringent punishment must be in place for those incite violence and hate under the cover of religion.

But I totally disagree with UT Kader's argument that no religious discourses are to be allowed. Religion is part and parcel of human being which brings him closer to his Creator. Without religion no body can survive. For a peaceful coexistance religious teachings are very much needed. But one should not misuse it for selfish goals.
