oh please
by manofsan on May 13, 2005 03:12 AM

Your response was ridiculous. "does muslim law apply to you" oh please. The fact is that muslims are not some separate sovereign state within India. All inhabitants of India share the same space, and therefore should share a common system of law. When everyone is driving together on the same road, each one can't be following a different traffic law as they see fit. All developed countries have separation of Church and State -- this is of fundamental importance. If you can't understand the meaning of Separation of Church and State, then you are an irrational fundamentalist. Having a Uniform Civil Code doesn't mean that it will be some Hindu Code imposed on everyone else. It means separation of church and state, and it means laws should be based on reason, instead of on the arbitrariness of scripture.
