Only message that we can decipher from
all this – its now impossible even to make films which show Talibanis as
terrorists because section of Tamil Muslims have developed deep-rooted
emotional affinity with Ummahood . This is dangerous phenomenon at
several levels.

It’s clear that radicalization of significant section of Tamil Muslims is a reality. Danger signal emanating from huge prayer meeting for Osama Bin Laden and massive protest outside American consultate forcing
it to temporarily shutdown its operations ( both in heart of Chennai
city) cannot be ignored easily. Dargah centric, localized Muslim
traditions is now clearly giving away to globalized Islamic identity.
Erasing of Tamil identity of Muslims is now near complete.

In the late 90′S, Tamil Nadu was threatening to become epicentre of Islamic terror but
state managed to combat effectively. Renewed pandering to the Islamists
and state’s succumbing to competitive intolerance is an extremely
disturbing development."


hmmm....not good.

>>>>> This has been the national story for a long time. Looks like TN is late to the party, but making up for lost time.

Not only that I am offended too. He is an atheist and I respect that but he should respect Hindu religion and not wouldn't have spelled Viswaroopam like Urdu script.
I would watch Mr. and Mrs. Iyer one other time than watching Kamala movies.

Sorry, no offence.
