Neha, The article by Tarek Fateh is quite good. Don’t you find it kind of contradictory towards the end ? He wants politics to be kept strictly out of the mosque and yet he wants the mosque to be an atmosphere of political debate and contestation….? I find that kind of puzzling. He should be advocating for more room in political dialogue without exactly being against ‘politics’ ..no?

Why isn't most of the media reporting this when it comes to Hindy?

Probably because Hindy's own words drown himself out. He comes across as insincere. The off the scale stupidity of his conspiracy theories and paranoia and persecution complex mark him out as a double speaking liar with major cognitive dissonance. My prediction: IF they are found guilty, he will still say it's part of a White House inspired plot to defame Islam or something of similar vehemence.

If the accusations that the group plotted to bomb Canadian targets are proven, Hindy said, then no lenience is deserved.

"If my son is doing something to destroy this country, I can say he should be hanged, not just put in jail," he said.

Well, okay init, like they dont have enough proof to say that they are THE terrorist, I mean, it is seen that Canadian Police is very careful but, also, if they want the PROOF to come out, they should have atleast let the SUSPECTS to talk to them with their eye contact, I mean what is it that the Police, trying to proove? THAT THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB. (WELL KEEP IT UP)

Really, it aint going to work, truth HAS to come out, sooner or later.

Do you really think your undemocratic (and yeah, anti-Indian) effusions are the answer to India's many problems?

Okay. Lets play a game. Name the problem and I'll give you a solution. And you be the judge and tell me whether its 'pro-India' or 'anti-India' , 'democratic' or 'undemocratic' . Happy ?

But I think they kinda overdo it, like prohibiting “girls” from having “dots” etc.. They are the “dot busters” in India.. don’t know if they still do it after the growth of the BJP..

That was part of the dress-code. Young girls wear bindi(dots)/kajal/choori(bangles) etc for “fahsion” purposes…not because its a part of religion/culture. The dress code also required a specific colored hair band (white..as far as I remember). BJP’s growth had no effect ..atleast not in my hometown (in the heart of cow belt).

Btw, I went to a Catholic school too and my mind was elsewhere during prayers as well (as were most of my Catholic friends')

Well as evidenced by recent indictments, the priests' minds were somewhere else too.

Reminds me of my Catholic school days in India – we were forced to say prayers(Dear Father, Thou Art in Heaven…) every morning.

Well.. I think they have a duty to propagate their religion (otherwise, why the need for a “Catholic” school??).. If you do not like it, you can move to a diff. school.. But I think they kinda overdo it, like prohibiting “girls” from having “dots” etc.. They are the “dot busters” in India..

don’t know if they still do it after the growth of the BJP..
