    It is high time to treat this evil sooner than waiting for America and Isreal to worry about them. These terrorist are the destruction of the whole world. Most of them hide and do such act. That is how they are thought by their upbringing to kill and hate the world. If no one to fight they fight within themselves. Seriously it is a curse to have such idiots on this earth.. name any country they live in peace. Also they disturb other life. Feel sad of these so called followers of peaceful .

    Why traitors are calling innocent people those who work hard and look after their families in a decent way to do their dirty work?? If they have guts, let them call police and say that. Such and such church they go to blast... Unnecessary creating tensions and hiding somewhere.. Curses on them for using innocent people as their target. All are not greedy for money.. Well done Lingaraju..OR this is one of the ways to get to the account numbers and to hack them.. Be careful while handing the calls. God bless you always

    It is time lie detectors are installed in all churches on all 4 sides in Mangalore. Safety comes first. It is aftermath of New Zealand attack. I hope the Bishop of Mangalore gives instructions to all churches. Time to act.

    all churches/temples must fix a scanner to pass through all worshippers..
    a security guard to be employed 24 hours.
    and secondly no bags or back packs allowed inside any worship place..
    if this was followed in srilanka earlier many life of innocents would saved
    if any religious place not following this must come under penalty...

    I must salute Mr. Lingaraju for doing his duty as a sincere and responsible citizen of India. We could not take this issue lightly because terrorist outfits a could analyse our mentality. In this acid test we must all unite , irrespective of religion / language etc. One must note that terrorists have no religion. They just kill.

    If terrorists have no religion then why do they target places of worship of particular religion? And for what purpose and for whose sake are they carrying out their dastardly crimes?

    Yes now terror is everywhere. If they can bomb military convoy, they can do this on soft target like Mandir Church and Mosques. So people should be alert. Install CC TV at prayer places. Our religious people are just collecting lakhs of money from devotees but not ready to spend on security staff .
