Religion an issue?

After a long time, I went on the Official DID website... I was going through the comments for each contestant and then found out that religion has again become an issue....

I was surfing Salman's section and saw all the garbage comments written by this guy named Pal... But then again, some other guy from Pakistan wrote that the entire Pakistan would only vite for Salman just becuz he's a Muslim... and then Gujrat riots and what not (completely irrelevant to DID) came in...

I fail to understand this... Whenever a minoirty (especially a muslim) tries to be in the limelight, why exactly does it become an issue in India... Why is it a controversial topic... And what has Pakistan to do with all this...

This is just making me sick. I had a gut feeling this would happen... and it did!

As an Indian, I really am shocked! I didn't see these comments in Paulson's section... All I trying to say is, please vote for the talent, not for someone based on religion and race and what not..

Cruizer...hats off to you for opening this topic. But religion aspect in Salmans voting has come long ago. Lot of people are voting him just because of that. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings but fact is fact. For those who do that look down your heart and see if you are bias on that aspect or not.

Please help me understand how. Thanking you in good faith.

That was expected and I am not surprised at all.

On this forum... I doubt it! I didn't see any... what are u talking about?

Well forget it... jo hoga dekha jayega... I have no favorite now... Ek vrushali thi aur thoda bohot jigar kuchh kaam ka tha... abhi sare log to bas aise hi hain... all publicity stunts!

Agree with desicrowd-this already is an issue, too late to stop it now. and mind you zee has played a massive role in this propaganda. I wish he would get voted for his talent, not his bacjground/looks/how his family are like.

India-Pakistan going on for centuries?. One of the reasons why Muslims will support Salman is because he's Muslim, it's as simple as that, they have a concept of the "Ummah", the worldwide Islamic community, and each Muslim is a brother/sister to another, so they look out for one another.

Another reason is that many Pakis seem to be under the impression that Muslims are ill-treated in India, and as Muslims, they believe they need to "defend" their "brothers" and "sisters".

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing the Indian Muslims or Pakistani's of any prejudices in their voting, I'm only addressing those minority who abuse one another, who use religion as an excuse for their hatred.

hi am a pakistani and all i want to say to u is very well said👏 i wish there were more people like u.
