I know so many things are said in the press about Taslima. Many muslim outfits have called for a fatwa against Taslima, even sitting MLA's in Hyderabad have physically assaulted her. I just like to know what she said that offended Islam and muslims. I have asked many muslim friends if they had read her books or know what exactly she conveyed in her books. 99% of people who oppose her dont know what she has said in her books. By word of mouth people assume that she said bad things about Islam and asking for action against her. I would be happy if someone in the forum who read her books can clarify what Taslima has said.

I have read her book , she has talked about her orthodox society which incidentally was muslim . Now that does NOT mean she has written anything against Islam. The amazing thing is even the educated muslims get provoked by these maadrassa educated mullahs

I have read the English version of "Lajja", the book that is in the middle of the whole Taslima Nasreen controversy. Its not so much a criticism of Islam as it is an indictment of Bangladeshi Muslims and the Bangladesh regime of 1992 which stood aside when thousands of Hindu temples and other Hindu property were destroyed in the aftermath of the Babri Masjid demolition. It chronicles the events of Hindus in Bangladesh being tortured and killed after the Babri Masjid riots and the government's plus the common Bangladeshi Muslim's apathy and sometimes even complicity towards these events. It also tracks Bangladesh's metamorphosis from a secular nation as conceived by Bangabandhu Mujibur Rahman into an Islamic republic. Finally it is the story of a 4 member Hindu family(man, woman, son and daughter) who are secular and unbiased and are true Bangladeshis at heart - they resolve to stick to the nation of their origin in spite of the numerous odds they face in life and the discrimination that is doled out to them because they belong to a minority community. Finally when the daughter is carried away by unknown persons, obviously Muslim, and their neighbours instead of sympathising with them suggest that they would be happier and safer in their "home" country (namely, India), they decide to leave Bangladesh forever and migrate to India. I can understand Bangladeshi Muslims being angry with her for writing such a story and hounding her out of Bangladesh but not Indian Muslims. Are Mus

i know a bangladesh hindu family who said they are treated in bangladesh as second grade citizens and their women can not go in public with tilak in face and all hindu temples were destroyed. why indian govt do not bother about this. similar is the situation in malaysia where many hindu temples were destroyed. compare with indonesia where they glorify hinduism and even did not change many names and recently they introduced a 200 ruppiah currency note with lord ganesh as icon as finance minister of indonesia said 'lord ganesha will remove obstacles of our difficulties in finance.' indonesia is the only soft muslim country which has still followers of hinduism in bali island and now many muslims in west java are converting back to hinduism as it promote them tourism industry in this island by renovating hindu temples in java while bali island is 100% hindus. this is good news. malaysia,bangladesh in asia are fanatics of islam and hence hindus are suffering in both countries.
