Isn't fatwa is as per secular laws? YES. Let me explain.
Remember secularism? Per secular law each and every religion is equal, so each religious body must act and react the same way. So per secularism VHP is correct in issuing the fatwa, right?
This is interesting, I am sure media will be exposed now when they critisize the fatwa by VHP more than issued by others????

THANKS FOR UR EXPLANATION.. BUT JUST MAIL TO MR. VEDANTI NOT TO ENTER IN TO TAMILNADU TO SEE HIS OWN FATWA EXECUTED ON HIMSELF
Arrest these guys who issued Fatwa. As a Hindu I am offended with what Karuna is saying, but I feel I am more offended by what these VHP morons are saying. This is exactly opposite what our religon teaches. May peace prevail. For me what Karuna said is not important, he is nobody. But we as Hindu should not indulge ourself into so called revenge/honor killing. That is not essence of our religon. OM Shanti Shanti... May peace prevail.

When the Islamic fundamentalist mob announced a reward for beheading the Bangladeshi writer, the whole nation looked up in silence, unable to reiterate agains the fundamentalists....
Let us see what the "Secular" government is doing when the same is announced by a hindu.

Christians don't support Karunanidhi .He is an athiest. Asking proof for existence of Lord Ram is asking the proof of existence of God. Hindus know God as Ram and muslims as Allah , cjristians as God and Christ is the son of God. So where is the problem man? Problem is with athiestic approach. If ask for proof of the existence of Gid then you should also have capaibility and authority to understand the proof just like in this world only competent courts of law acn examine the evidence .

idiot, fatwa is a term used by rediff, the person who announced the reward hasnt used it, folls like u dont understand, forget it.
In the early days of Islam, fatwa were pronounced by distinguished scholars to provide guidance to other scholars, judges and citizens on how subtle points of Islamic law should be understood, interpreted or applied. There were strict rules on who is eligible (see below) to issue a valid fatwa and who could not, as well as on the conditions the fatwa must satisfy to be valid. Today many Muslim countries (such as Egypt and Tunisia) have an official mufti position; a distinguished expert in the Sharia is named by the civil authorities of the country. According to the Usul al-fiqh (Principles of Jurisprudence), the latter are as follows :
The fatwa is in line with relevant legal proofs, deduced from Qur'anic verses and hadiths;
It is issued by a person (or a board) having due knowledge and sincerity of heart;
It is free from individual opportunism, and not depending on political servitude;
It is adequate with the needs of the contemporary world.
Today, with the existence of modern independent States, each with its own legislative system, and/or its own body of ulemas, each country develops and applies its own rules, based on its own interpretation of religious prescriptions.

Yo Hakeem, why don't you get the f out here, we don't want to know what fatwa is. It is Rediff term. Some so called secular C99lie from Rediff doesnot know the meaning of fatwa he applied to Hindus anyway. I jus want Ronanidhi to pay his price.
