"....The second question is: Can Asia, or for that matter, the rest of the world, rest in peace if ideologies of religious extremism, exclusivism and global domination -- and these ideologies neither respect democracy nor tolerate secularism and plurality -- are allowed to grow in our midst?"
It is unbelievable! Advani speaking of the evils of religious extremism and exclusivism! Are we hearing right, or has Advani given up his extremist/ exclusivist RSS ways?
Such hypocrisy and self-blindedness!Incredible.
It is obvious to a neutral observer that any kind of religious extremism, whether it is the Islamist's (Taliban, Al Qaida) or Advani's (RSS/VHP/BJP) is bad for the world. The world do not need these hardliners and their hypocrytical but dangerous postures.
