So many people are chanting Taslima's name in TV chanels, news papers, web sites, everywhere. We beleive in democracy, we are Indian. But my friends, can someone explain me what do the words 'freedom of expression' means ? Does it mean that I can use abusive words, slangs, lies against anybody whenever I want ? Expressing of opinion and abusing is not the same thing. Would not you mind if someone uses abusive words against your father or mother. If the freedom of expression means, you are not supposed to react, simply keep your mouth shut and digest even if some one is abusing your father or mother or sister or brother or your friend, then I am sorry to say, there is some problem with the word democracy. Muhammad (PBUH) is much more than one's own parents to the Muslims. Why you never try to understand the feeling of Muslims when she abuses Muhammad (PBUH) ? There are millions of writers in Bengal, why none of those are having such kind of problem as she is having ?

have you read Taslima's books ,she has only shown the mirror to secuarists by depiction of state of Hindus in Bangladesh & true face of the so called great religion of world i.e. Islam Now your feelings are hurted by it,then our feelings are also hurted when hindus are killed by muslim butchers in Kashimir & all over India,Do you know more than centuries old temples in Kashmir are destroyed & their properties pounced by the Secular(Muslim) Govt Of Kashmir officially (you can confirm it from Chief minister G.N.Azad ,who is also supporting it in the name of secularisam)

PBUH MEANS 'PEACE BE UPON HIM'. EVERY MUSLIM MANDATORILY SPEAKS THIS SUFFIX AFTER THE PROPHET'S NAME.
JUST LIKE HINDUS CHANT IN THEIR PRAYERS - "SHANTI PRITHVI " THAT IS 'PEACE BE UPON THIS EARTH.

Because freedom of speech is more basic human right than anything else. Today you will silence people on the name of religion tomorrow it will be something else. I consider my birth right to criticize any book written by anyone. Be it Gita, Koran or Bible. You can disagree with my criticism but you have no right to threaten me.
