Nagapattinam police arrested four members of a Hindu outfit for allegedly stabbing a Muslim man for posting a photo of him having beef, on his Facebook account.
At 3.18 pm on Thursday, 24-year-old Mohamed Faizan, a resident of Perumal Koil street in Keevaloor, Nagapattinam, posted a picture of him eating curry on Facebook. With a large piece of meat sticking from the bowl, Mohamed’s smiling picture carried the caption – "You can say a thousand things, but beef curry is beef curry."

I don’t eat meat,
let alone beef, but I don’t believe in policing food choices. TN is not where you can start lynching people for eating beef, NO as a commmunity we reject this kind of stupidity in our Periyar soilதமிழன் என்றொரு இனமுண்டு தனயே அவர்க்கொரு குணமுண்டு

Political parties ceasing opportunities:
”If beef is to be eaten, Vote Congress. ”

But not all went for the love of beef. A few took a turn towards love for the cows.

We have become animal from humans.
Throughout the holy Bible we are taught to have compassion and look at the interests of others.
But people are committing a huge mistake by killing animals for food.#WeLoveBeef#BeefForLifepic.twitter.com/MBInxtJE9I— M.Q. Aashish Senior 🇮🇳👍👍 (@mqaashishsenior) July 12, 2019

#Beef4life #WeLoveBeef are direct attacks on Hindus, dharma and our civilizational values. Brace up birathers, the fight will be a long and bloody one. We'll win and dharma must be restored.
