for as all i know, gurudas gupta can go to hell. if indians, can accept m.f.hussain drawing nude drawings of saraswathi then why not muslims accept the caricature of the prophet.he was an invader. that's the bottomline cause hindus said so.

I've seen the Khajuraho paintings. Same thing. Goddesses nude. What is the hue and cry about? Have we never seena nude woman before? And after all, he's an artist and very creative with loads of imagination. If he's painted some non-existent goddesses, what's the big deal? It's our imagination that they exist, and his imagination painting stone goddessess nude. What's the big problem, eh?

veera! Don't worry, we have book on sex kamsutra also. Hindu religion is way of life. Every thing is possible. It is thinkable that there must good sense of humor or good thought behind any creation. You will understand better if you are true follower. What I mean to say if hussain was Hindu then treatment may be other but he is muslim, he has no right to paint objectionable about other religion. Because he sees just as an art and can not think any religious think behind the art.

My dear it is not a big problem for you,but country like india full of with sensitive,caste oriented people who emotionally very active.think broadly all artists are also part of our socity and they are also bounded with all limitations like others.before doing anything they have to consider there socity first.
A little section of the society tries to support them because they wrote something to appease their point of veiw. It is disgusting that we give importance to such people.
People talk about Koran. But I want to ask this people to read the Koran and then give a comment. As long as being a muslim I didnt read Koran I also thought that may be some people who talk about this Book are right. But when I read the Koran I realized that I should be proud to read and follow this Book.
Had MF hussain or nasreen or Salan rusdie read the KOran then they would be writing such words. They are a Bunch of monkeys born in Muslim families and got the muslim name. A person doesnt become a muslim just by name. The meaning of the word Muslim is Submission to God. Not people like nasreen or Hussain are true muslims. I want to tell it frankly that MF HUssain is not a muslim at all. If he is a true Muslim then He would have read Koran and follow it. He is moneky who even doesnt know to wear shoes. Islam forbids paintings or mocking other religions and he do the opposite. SO my dear friends and specially muslim youths please dont talk words in support of such people. they are hypocrites. Good people dont hurt others.
Let us see the truth. Let us be human beings. Let is be clear in our decisions. we cant gruop people with religion just becoz they bear a name of a muslim. Dont blame the Koran. If you want to know Koran then first read and then comment.

Shut up Arif Ali you fool. Why you people think that only Koran is the best. Do you mean all other religious books give hatred massages?

dream girl , you are innocent , i think.
every muslim trust on Kuran and those all arte most political ppl ...never trust on theier remarks, everyone will show that he is not fundamentalist but everyone ...thats all.
Since the Taslima's case has repeatedly drawn focus on MF Hussain, will he also follow suit and withdraw all the offensive paintings hurting Hindu Gods and Goddesses? I doubt it. After all, the seculars will say his paintings come under the freedom of expression and it only hurts Hindus, which is OK by them!

Time was there when Writers like Shakespear, Rabindranath Tagore used their brain and intellect to give out books which were read and applauded by whole humanity. They were people of brains and as such they didnt use to mock at someone to become famous.
Still there are some genuine writers who put their words to papers which appeals to people of all language and religion.
But there are few who dont have brains to create some wrtiting which can bring peace or mend relations. Such are the people like Salman Rusdie, Taslima Nasreen, Bal Thakeray, MF Hussain. These are useless people to our society. They cant be famous with their good so try to be famous with their bad. People never bow to false if they are strong. Tasleema nasrin is running from places as Salman rusdie and MF Hussain. They dont have guts in their hearts to stand for the truth. Their words are a lies to gain name and fame.
There are so many issues in the society, why they dont try to write about them??? And the greatest thing in this people are after gaining lot of money out of their writing had they ever think of spending a little portion for any social cause.Can anyone say that Rusdie or Nasreen or MF hussain donated so much money to any social organisation. Never, they just want to be famous and earn money by hurting peoples sentiments and as such they are neither bless by God nor by the people.

A society in which writers and artists are bound by rules and restrictions is a non-progressive state where people have closed minds and the minorities(like women)are second-class citizens. There is stagnation and the brightest minds have to migrate to a Western country just to breathe freely. Such a country produces no Nobel Prize winners or scientists or writers which go down in History. How many Nobel Prize winners are Saudi Arabian or North Korean or Sudanese? Writers write and if people who have no appreciation of literature or a literary degree consider a Rushdie as 'cheap' that just makes them look stupid. Artists, scientists and Thinkers have different sensibilities from most people. Thank god for that!

Arif, What is wrong to show the world the truth. Theo Van Gough did expose how the women are treated in Islamic land and he was brutally killed in broad day light by a devout Muslim who knows Koran more than you do. Please put a search for Theo Van GOugh and you will find for yourself. Because of Taslima, Rushdie, Ali Sina we are knowing the truth of Islam. Your are suggesting that they should not write like those so we people stay in dark as you are in the darkness.
