Islam religion - scared of some books and authors??
by RKrishna on Nov 24, 2007 12:07 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

First of all, I pity the plight of Taslima and I just wonder why she wants to stay in INDIA and it is better for her if she try WEST just like Mr. Rushdie did.

I just wonder whether it is ISLAM or muslims (who practice ISLAM) is scared of some books and writers?? Is this religion really that fragile??

Attacking her physically and now asking her to leave the country, are we really practicing FREEDOM OF SPEECH in INDIA??

Agreed, secularism practiced with double standards in India, recent Karunanidhi episode is also a good example.

The FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN INDIA applies only to Syed Shahabuddin (who openly declares that he supports Pakistan against India), Imam Bukhari (who openly challenges delhi police to arrest him if they can) and M F Hussain who paints nude Hindu Goddesses while Communist and congress' twin fathered mo fo's stand with flags in his support.
