| Reference Pravin Khare's remarks on the above subject. It is true that no religion can be blamed for any attacks but one should think
 why and who are behind such attacks. For catholics conversion means
 change of heart. If forcible and fraudalant means of conversion is
 root cause of attacks, the persons involved in such activity must be
 punished as per law of the land. Why a group of people take law on
 their hand? See the statements of Catholic bishops on
 www.cbcisite.com on conversion.  Catholic church law forbids
 forcible conversion. If any catholic missionary have taken illegal
 route to convert people, the conversion itself is null and void. I
 also unable to appreciate the remarks "Catholic churches are full of
 money to take care of them and but they will not because there need
 will not be fulfilled look at there history and i am sure you will
 find its not glorify." I am a catholic and have seen the conditions
 of many dioceses.  It is true that some dioceses are rich but some
 are very poor too. A catholic has to give monthly contribution to
 the parish where he resides for maintenance of priests and church
 but in poor diocese the priests find it difficult to manage their
 day to days expenses as they get very less money.
 It is very good to see that we all Indian were united in condemning the terror attacks on Mumbain on 26/11. But how many of us condemned
 the attack that took place in Orissa and Karnataka where our own
 fellow people are responsible for attack and  creating a communal
 tension. How many of us condemned when MNS of Raj attacked on people
 from U.P.and Bihar? Personally I feel, History is a means to tell us
 how and in what way we can amend ourselves and improve our thoughts,
 our behaviour, our actions our system and many other things. We
 should learn from history where our ancestors erred and make
 improvement in the present time and in the future. If any religion
 or any country commited in the past, it should not brood over it but
 learn new lessions.
