    If it is Love Jihad and other stuff, all of them come out with one unsuspecting name or the other here to comment. They go fully silent when these cases come up. These instances can be stopped only if sane elements within that community vocally speak against such ISIS elements within. They cannot unfortunately.

    We all have to be vigilant guys! Sonia Sebastin , Merin Jacob were MBA and Engineering graduates. Nimisha was a dentist. But they fell for this hard and landed in Afghanisthan. At first the Commie -Bhaima Congi Govts of Kerala assured the parents of these 3 that, their daughters will be bought back to India safely. Later CM Pinnnari Vijayan jacked them. Now poor parents are just living on prayers.

    Suspected Terrorist, don't spoil youths life. Govt should take initiative step to crack down such activity. In additional youth must educate to live in this society with peaceful environment . Terrorist as no religions. Its our responsibilities and of course it start from our home. Parents should keep eyes on there children's and make good citizens.

    Dear HASHIM, Kundapura, "Terrorists have no religion". This statement is past its best before use date globally. It is synonymous with defending and identifying oneself with Terrorists, who incidentally, have a religion. Call spade a spade if you have realistic expectation of living peacefully like our parents and ancestors did until British and Europeans showed up on our shores. Before that, terror of sword anyway worked. Some other slogans we must avoid is "peaceful Pakistan is in the interest of India", "insaniyat pehele", "extreme elements are there in all communities" etc.

    Every migrant destination where these people flock has gone crazy . The bottom line is simple, They cannot co-exist and ready to kill. They call themselves Peacefuls only when they are in minority. Even then then tend to poke their nose and then play the victim card when caught. This is also one reason , why BJP garner huge votes and the alarming growth of BJP minority morcha.

    I request all Muslim leaders and influencers to educate your community youth to no to trap with such organizations, its high time to provide education about adverse effects from this. I don't know what is real intention of some people who is funding within India for this but be careful everyone. We have seen other community people also joining and working for ISIS so it is alarming situation not only for Muslims but for everyone!!!

    Please do not ignore and take this lightly guys, You never know when it hits your home. Report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Mlore has become a sleeper cell and a safe haven for Mallu cirminals .Thanks to the appeasement policies of the previous Bhaima Congress Government.

    Its an alarming situation guys. Do not take this lightly. The more you support the common factor or affiliate yourself to any political party that appeases the common factor. This is what you get in return. Kasaragod one day woke up to the horror of 21 people suddenly missing! , Eventually a month later they surfaced in the ISIS of the Khorasan province in Afghanisthan . The wives who were gifted with children of the Jihadists are still there , with whereabouts unknown! Sonia Sebastin as Ayesha, Merin Jacob as Miriam, Nimisha as Fathima , their parents are still awaiting news. Original Communists and Bhaima Congress supporters now wants the RSS backed BJP Govt to bring their daughters back! Come on guys!!!

    No doubt, the government need to punish all terror activities, and punish them as per law of the land, whoever he/ she is. But the authorities are selective. Just read today's Daijiworld news " Mahasabha to install Krishna idol in Mathura mosque" - IS THIS WILL NOT CREAT CHAOS AND VOILENCE?? IS THERE ANY ARRESTS??????

    Readers, this mole is just one out of many, living in secure environment... a sleeper module, indoctrinated, ready to strike at the command of their oversea masters call. Citizens have to be cautious, they have to report any suspicious activity, happening around their vicinity.. The threat is very real.. only a well intelligence bureau and conscious citizens can checkmate these treacherous Bandicoot's from our soil !!!

    If citizens report suspicious activity, the complainant is harassed and the name and address of the complainant is leaked. If it is anonymous, more people will come forward.
