Vis-é-vis the henious terrorist attack in Mumbai these actions against the Christian community, wher Churches were burned,nuns were raped, and peop,e were killed in India, are a blot on the name of our Hinduism. Those who carried out these attacks do not have any religion, but they also use religion to promote goondagari,rapism and terrorism in our Hindu Names. Hinduism is loved by the entire world, but these VHP,RSS, Bajrang Dal nicompoops have tried to spoil our reputation in the entire world. India and the rest of the world should ban Al-Qaida, SIMI,Lakashar, RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal. these sorts of outfits should be thrown in the dustbin.
