Would you support the freedom of speech for a Hindu, if he or she were to claim one of the following,
- Sri Krishna was nothing else but a womanizer and an Adulterer - King Rama did not trust his wife, instead mistreated her with the entire "Agni-Priksha" - The existence of King Rama is a big Question Mark ? - Sri Krishna is NOT really god as he was NOT able to stop the masaacer in the Mahabharat
I agree that Taslima is being treated unfairly. She has a RIGHT to speak her mind. Muslims on the other hand have a RIGHT to protest, using all the tools that do not violate the law of the land.
Hindus seem to support Taslima, ONLY because she has managed to irk the Muslims.
If you want to support Taslima, base it on a principle.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend", is not exactly a principle.
Think about it. Sooner or later there will be some Hindu who will question the teachings and beliefs of Hinduism. What do you think will be the reaction of the Hindu Fanatics ?

Salman Rushdie or even this Taslima Nasreen are living examples. Have you forgotten that a Sangh Parivar goon had called for beheading Karunanidhi? That his writ did not run in Tamil Nadu speaks volumes for the sagacity and education of the Tamil people. Also, not only does he have police protection but at the street level his party men can decimate the Saffron Brigade.

mr patel, you are correct lord krishna could not ptevent the slaughter of countless in battle of mahabharta, despite valiant effort. their karmas ordained that but i am glad that ALLAH could save all the muslims from american bombing in iraq/ afganistan also saved them during iraq/ iran war for over 8 years . thank allah it is savingh muslims from suicide bombers in pakistan/ iraq besides all the believers from Israels in gaza and west bank it seems ALLAH has a special protection plans for muslims BE HAPPY THE MUSLIMS ARE HELPING EACH OTHER SO BEAUTIFULLY IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD

Even "Periyar" is a hindu who questioned the customs of Hindus boldly. He has many hindu followers. People like them are welcomed in India and elsewhere by hindus. What did Tasleema say wrong about Islam or ALLAH...? First get the quotes and then speak.

- Sri Krishna was nothing else but a womanizer and an Adulterer ....? How ? -King Rama did not trust his wife, instead mistreated her with the entire "Agni-Priksha" ..? Ram trusted his wife but to give respect to public opinion he took that step. This proves how much he cares for his public that to keep there opinion he made his wife to go go through "Agni Pareeksha" - The existence of King Rama is a big Question Mark ? Deny the existance of ayodhya, sri lanka and all other places mentioned in ramayana. - Sri Krishna is NOT really god as he was NOT able to stop the masaacer in the Mahabharat..?Mahabarata was essential that time because that was a start of another YUG according to hindu. That war was essential to eliminate bad from earth and initiate a new YUG on earth..

there are two things: theology and history. In 21st century people are educated they know history but still follow theology(believe blintly without asking any question). Those who believe in religion for them their religion is the best!! no one is born hindu, muslim, christan it is people(their parents,relatives) that make them believe what they believe. It is time to learn little bit of world history!! There won't be any religion, Everey one is created by one person i.e. all religion says that. Everyone adores one person in different name then why people have to fight for it. Be a good human being thats all.

If she would have said these four points, hindus wd have still not countered her. Its time to realise the characterstics of hinduism. They are not coward but do not care about such trivial statements from an ordinary person. MF Hussain went beyond his limits by painting our goddess nude. Still he is not been hunted like poor Taslima. The truth is that muslims are still backward due to thier thinking. They can never rise above their religion and will always be the most hated community in this world. There were more illogical and bad practices like sati, animal sacrifice etc in Hinduism but with modern age they got over them (casteism still remains.. thanks to our political parties esp Congress). Muslim still go for multi marriages, fatwa, sacrifices, burka, no birth control etc. so they still remain backward. Mesage to my muslim brothers... come on change your outlook and move towards modernization

How are birth control and burkha backward? If some women have the right to flaunt their bodies, then some other women should have a right to cover up as their conscience dictates. I fail to understand how this is regressive. In fact, it is very modern.

Absolutely right Sir, is it not funny that some people can conveniently equate Tasleema with MF HUSSEINS insults?
What really did Danish Cartoon show? Nothin embarressing and blasfamous.
BUT SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS ARE LOOKING TO PICK UP A FIGHT, START A QUARREL AND START THE RIOTS.
this is a mentality of people totally dis-satisfied how they have fared thru the history.
We hindus have never tried to supress the muslims ever. See their history and nearly 20 millions have been butchered by them over the years and 10s of millions FORCIBLY converted.
These converted HINDUS some how find it as their duty to somehow DEFEND ISLAM and HURT HINDUS.
i just wonder what kind of indoctrinations these guys are going thru in the mosques and secret houses where very quiet but sinister meetings take place.
IF THERE IS ANY ONE WHO HAS CONCERNS AND ALSO HATRADE THEN IT IS HINDU TOWARD MUSLIMS, NOT THE OTHERWAY ROUND.
