The Christians have realised that they are being exploited by the Muslims in Kerala. Muslim politicians in Kerala are rabidly communal and openly exhort Muslim youth to join the cause of Jihad in Syria and other places. As a result, Muslim society has rapidly radicalised in Kerala and many Malayalee Muslims are queueing up to join ISIS and other Jihadi outfits. The film Kerala Story was not a piece of propaganda.

The dark side of the god’s own country will be further reveled it this continues.
The Waqf Board must be dissolved and all it’s properties brought under the respective state governments. The state governments should decide on how to use this land for the general welfare of the population.
