quite right. the silly author thinks he has hit upon a brahmavakya when he quotes: "unlike the West, which functions on the basis of moral absolutes, Indians function on the basis of contextual morality."
so to answer your question, the author has fallen victim to the contextual morality himself which wants him to rail against the bjp victory.
the quote itself is a nonsense to begin with, and i will limit myself to the first part. the west is repsonisble for 2 of the murderous 3m in india, ie missionaries (recall goa inquistion) and marxism, both brutal ideologies intended to uproot people from their moors and keep them conflicted with their native civilization, destabilizing the socieities to serve western itnerests. the west has one standard for itself, and other standard for the other people such as in the 3rd world. if you see the big and small wars in the world what is west's involvement in it? one could be forgiven to think that to behave in brutal manner to serve self interest - like this war fully backed by the u.s. congress for oil, as greenspan explained - is the western moral absolute. for the west to so confidently declare that iraqis wanted usa to attack iraq, ie the incredible arrogance of the idea that the west knows iraqi interests better than iraqis themselves is a western moral absolute. the west has changed for the better only in recent decades, and mainly due to their near self-annihilation of ww2. within the western society itself there are no moral abs

islam is not fascism. islam is about justice. God commands justice and forbids transgression. Read from the authentic sources with a neutral objective perspective without any biases or prejudice or pre programming.

Your justice is faulty and against nature. Your justice advocates torturing and killing non muslims. Ifthis is your kind of justice, see the results of this the world over, ofcourse, in non muslim countries.

200 lashes for a rape victim is not justice. Ask your Saudi judges whom their law minister praises as fair.
Killing by stoning for accusation of adultery is not humane treatment of a woman.
I had heard that witness of one man is more than that of two (or four?) women - not sure about this one..
Accusing a person of blasphemy and killing is easy in Islam.
Many liberal minded person seriously doubt if Islam is really a religion of justice and peace. The followers of Islam in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, (and a good number of them) in India - do not give the picture that this religion truly stands for peace.
I will be learn from a knowledgeable person if I am wrong.

Dear farid, All muslims are not terrorists. But sorry to observe that most of the terrorists are muslims.

i clearly said there is justice in islam. where those so called islamic countries implement the laws is not my concern. but Alhamdolillah the state of minority is much better in islamic countries than any where else.

A TRUE muslim never appeases violence , The so called islamic countries are un islamic in nature if they support violence in the name of islam!!!
Shivaji was a great ruler and his supreme commander was a muslim, how many people know this truth?? hence there is wrong in islam but only on the so called violent muslims who do not know the gist of islam

Shivaji had a great character and never harmed women and children of even the enemies he captured. It was his sterling leadership and character that needs to be emulated by anyone wanting to establish a country run on Hindutva principles. Unfortunately - many like this Tathagata fellow is more of a fan of people who do just the opposite.

No, the intention was not adding fuel to fire.
It is an interaction to understand from a learned man - correct me if I am wrong. I want to know why people say Islam stands for justice and peace and yet we see everyday so many instances that are counter to this thought which is preached by Islamic scholars, politicians and rulers.
One more recent instance was of a father strangulating his daughter for not wearing hizab (it happened in Canada recently).
Don't you educated people think it is time for reforms in Islam? How long should people follow stone age rules, which are brutal against your own womenfolk?

why every terror activity lead leads to a muslim house hold? what was the need for haneef n safil to bomb glasgow.why do u need to extend moral support to terrorist family(haneef)? go n reform ur religion,no hindu has gun in his hand, if that happens no one can predict what will happen, what was the need to drive kashmiri pandit's, if muslims r in majority that will happen to others,fascism as i said is what islam is.
