Most of the Tamil Muslims do not think themselves of as Tamilians at all.

They consider themselves to be Muslims who speak Tamil.

I never heard of any Muslim in TN joining the protest against imposition of Hindi on Tamilians. Nor are they worried about Tamils being discriminated in places like Sri Lanka or Malaysia. They feel closer to Malay Muslims than Tamils in Malaysia.

Also I have never heard of any Muslim in TN having pure Tamil name like Anbazhagan, Nedunchezhian etc.

Do you agree with me that Muslims in TN are not Tamils in the true sense?

>>>>In Islam, the religious identity does seem to trump other identities, but in fairness to KV, why are asking for her view on this? As far as I know, I don't think KV has indicated anything about Muslim solidarity with the Tamil/Eealam cause.

>>>>Isolated communities may in fact have existed where there was healthy co-existence with other faiths. Indonesia, Malaysia and Kerala would certainly fit this bill historically, but there is a trend afoot now that is reversing this i.e a virulent form of fundamentalism taking hold in Islam. This is what triggers riots in places like Indonesia or Coimbatore, when some slight takes place to the religion in the distant west.

But - like he asked - know ANY MUSLIM who has a non-religious Tamilian name. It is one thing to say Rishi is not a tamilian but an entirely different matterwhen he says none of the muslims is a true tamilian.

MaxEntropy_Man will be written in Tamil as MOx Yendra Beeman.

Mine is the true Tamilian Handle here.
