Muted Christian response

The chopping off a Christian college lecturer’s hand by Islamists have got a very muted and subdued reaction from the Christian community, why ? I find it very strange and intriguing. Normally the Christian community makes a hue and cry  in the media and create an international furore over incidents like the alleged rape of some nun trying to convert a poor gullible Hindu.

The widespread furore created about Orissa, Madhya Pradesh are fresh in our minds. What has now happened now in Kerala defies imagination. Outside the Islamic countries nobody has got their hands chopped off for maligning Islam. Neither in the whole of Asia, Africa, Europe, Americas has such a ghastly incident occurred, yet our local Christians are lying low. No interviews by Padres on TV channels or Press, no condemnations by Christian groups vociferously. No invitation to European Human Rights Groups to come on a visit to Kerala. Why such a loud silence ?

The chopping incident took place in the Christian dominated Spice belt of Idukki district having a heavy presence of converts. I had written some time back in these columns that the Islamists were making inroads into this region. The place is ideal for hide outs and clandestine activities. There is lots of Ganja cultivation also.

Apart from some muted response the reaction is very very subdued. Had a Hindu done this what would have been the halleluiah cries on TV and Press. Our MP’s are silent, entire UPA is deaf and dumb, why and how ???

The pseudo secular cowards are in a dilemma, which group of converts to support ?
