*swiss referendum* *Tue Dec 1 02:35:59 PST 2009* To Goanet -Goans should take a leaf out of the Swiss bookand ban new mosques and muezzin calls that themigrants want to bring to Goa. The most visiblestructure in the Chimbel slum - visible to thenaked eye from the Mandovi bridge - is the mosque.
r My Dear Rajan,You cannot be serious. You want Kangress to drop its pseudo-secularistcredentials in a jiffy and then what? Make our commi comrades even morefurious than they already are?There are currently four constituencies in Goa where migrants can decide whorepresents Goans in the assembly. If Kangress is serious about ruling Goaforever, than they should continue to allow migrants to come in so that atleast ten constituencies are in a similar position. Things will change if and only if Salcette has more mosques than churches. That day is not far. Every religious community needs places of worship butwhen one hears of fourteen new mosques in Margao alone, one instinctivelyknows this is not religion - this is pure politics. Joao observes: My dear friend, people have a right to build as many places of worship as they like, if it is legal! If the Swiss want to retain their Christian identity, architecture, and so on, at the expensive of democracy and democratic values it is their business but we need hardly follow them. If there are migrants who have the illegal vote in Goa today it is the fault of ALL Goans irrespective of religion. We have been snoring. How about waking up? Don't blame the Hindu way of life which can absorb all religions given its great philosophical depth and approach to life. Down with fanaticism. And, let's not get paranoid! Celebrate life, best wishes, Joao Kangress babus have mastered: this and therefore when Narendra Modi - a 'Hindu zealot' demolishes over hundred hindu religious structures in Gujaratbecause they were illegal, no one takes blindest bit of notice. You try itin Margao - Digu with his bleeding heart will be at the front of the queueof howling protesters. Anil Desai
