I dont think there is anything too wrong in the Governement taking a stand that Taslima who has attacked the religious sentiments of the Muslims cannot take Indian hospitality for granted . What I cannot understand is that why sauce for goose is not sauce for gander? If MF Hussain draws patently vulgur paintings depicting Hindus Gods and Godesses why is similar response not there from Government and the media ? Why are words such as 'artistic freedom ' , 'secular ethos' etc that were so generously employeed when MF Hussain controversy erupted not being heard today in context to Taslima. Teesta , Javed Aktar , NDTV Visual Media will all keep quiet. Like many on commenting on this article on rediff I will not be prompted to abuse Islam or Muslims. They are not the problem , the problem is an establishment that is ' anti Hindu'. An establishment that will 'spit' on Hindu sentiment in the name of secularism but would not dare do that to any other religious minority for fear of the backlash. Let us not confuse etsablishment with the government it is infinitely more than than. If Hindusim must survive it must be sure of who the enmey is ! It is not the Muslim or Christian, it is group of Hindus who sworn to destroy every thing that Hindusim stands for and adheres to. Why Taslima is pushed out is not the issue, the issue is why the same logic is not applied to those that insult Hinduism? When one find an answer he finds a solution to the problem

Such LOPSIDED Governmental,Media and 'Elite' responses are responsible for converting GENUINELY SECULAR people into baskets of hatred and Bombshells of communalism and Fanatics.
Governments(Read Politicians & Influential people) of all countries, specially those countries where the rich-poor gap is greater are solely responsible for creating 'Fanatics' & 'Terorrists' by their Lopsided and "POPULAR" decisions
