It is highly disturbing to read this ...Hi Amrita:)<br /><br />It is highly disturbing to read this report. Christians are a minority in this country and vulnerable to attacks by Hindus.<br /><br />In many places the Christians have adopted many Hindu rituals to merge with the society. Yet the Hindus often take advantage of our minority situation and persecute us.<br /><br />In Kerala, we have a sizable population of Christians and we also play a major role in government formation. So, generally we allowed to live in peace. In the north, the situation is different and parties like BJP and Bajrang Dal take advantage of the situation and attack us. <br /><br />Our religion is based on sacrifices and persecutions and therefore we are bound to grow. However, we need the sympathy and support of all Christian countries.<br /><br />You have highlighted our problems in this country at the rigt time and I hope this will get widespread attention of world community.<br /><br />Have a nice day Amrita:)<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701194164995623772.post-23492474441592976672010-02-23T06:18:18.053+05:302010-02-23T06:18:18.053+05:30It's so sad that Christians let them selves be...It's so sad that Christians let them selves be tempted to riots because of a drawing.<br />Jesus himself was mocked in the most cruel way without uttering a word.<br /><br />I guess there is a difference in culture as well.<br />We see Muslims go bananas over alleged Muhammad caricatures.<br />I am shocked by such behavior; both childish and threatening in a weird way.<br /><br />Life sure is not easy in this multicultural world.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701194164995623772.post-49269593029010791222010-02-22T23:58:59.763+05:302010-02-22T23:58:59.763+05:30How sad to read about violence and bad behavior!

Of ...These actions must be very disturbing for you. Of course since Christians are the majority in our country we do not have such desecration but there has been a concentrated effort to stamp out anything that secular thinkers regard as religious therefore not scientific, not established in proven fact in the schools etc, but this has led to the extremists of secular thinking who promote abortion. Congress is locked in conflict right now with one of the issues being abortion funding by the government which the pro choice faction has pushed to the max. Don't know if they will succeed in getting abortion funding passed or not. This is downplayed in the press as a viable issue the press being largely pro choice, naturally, so I think conflicts with not quite such a violent turn exist here, too. Which always have the possibility of accelerating. I am a believer in protecting life from conception so have had to get used to insults to my intelligence, etc.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.com
