Layman, any truth that does not conform to your narrow reading of modernity is trash. I wonder how you profess with such confidence your command over 'modernity." Gimme a break! A muslim attempts to define, defend the scientific spirit in his holy book, and you rush to defile him. You cite a dirty Muslim street to prove your point. Of course, with an acutely prejudiced mind as yours, I dont expect your single track mental makeup to go beyond that. By your same logic, should you defile the traffic rulebook everytime there is an accident. Should I blame the Hindu holy texts for the poverty stricken, unbearably dirty slums of perfectly Hindu religionists. I wouldnt stoop down to associate religion with that. Honestly, how many events of conversions have been enlisted by you since independence. Your ilk blamed the christians for launching a countrywide conversion drive. But their numbers remain the same. (Of course, I now run the risk of getting into Muslim numbers, another stereotype often quoted by the Hindu Right.)
