Ashish, what you believe as a HINDU does NOT concern me. It does not make me a better Muslim by critisizing your faith.
What I am saying is that when we protest against of defend Taslima, we need to make a distinction.
- Are we defending her right to free speech or are we defending her views. If you are defending her right to free speech then I am with you. On that same principle, I will defend the right of Muslims to protest her view in a manner that does NOT violate the LAW.
Coming to MF Hussain, Same principle applied. I defend his RIGHT to express but as far as content is concerned, it does not effect me because I do not share the Hindu belief.
Should he do it, personally I think NO. It is common sence to know that this will affect the Hindu community and why should we do that to our own countrymen.
Same applies to the Danish Cartoons. The cartoonist has every right to express himself and Muslims have every right to protest in a legal manner. I support the cartoonist right to free speech BUT I protest against his work.
I hope we are mature enough to understand that difference.
So, My questin to you is, Why are you supporting Taslima ?
