This closing down of the exhibit is a clear expression of the extent to which the Indian muslims identify with the Arab conquerors and abusers. Any wonder that people question Indian muslims' sense of patriotism. They have shown clearly that they do not identify with their Indian heritage and root, but only with foreign invaders that wreaked havoc on Indian society. With this incidence, the Indian muslim's have exposed themselves well and truly.
The dirty old man, the perverted Hussein, was allowed to exibit his paintings of Hindus goddesses depicted in vulgar manner, under the guise of ''freedom of artistic expression.'' Yet, when non-muslims want to exhibit facts and historical truths about islamic conquerors, they are banned and silenced under the pretext of ''instigating the public.'' Strange that the muslims are allowed to say what they want about other religions under the freedom of experssion, but non-muslims are not allowed to even talk about muslim atrocities of the past - that too, about the atrocities committed by Arab & Persion invaders! What blatant hypocrisy!
It is scary to see that Indian muslims strongly identify with muslims invaders and barbarians. Actually, wherever the muslim lives, he tends to identify ONLY with Islam and the Arab culture, and not with country he resides in, or his original roots. Surely then, it would not be wrong for other non-muslim countries to ask muslims to leave their country!

Actually it is not true that Muslims anywhere identify with Arabs and Islam.No UAE or Saudi muslim will come running to "save"/ sacrifice himself for any Indian/Pakistani Muslim. See any of them rushing to the defend the Indian subcontinent? Only our fellow citizens are willing to immolate themselves for the Mid. East. The Turks & Genghis Khan were ferocious. And the cruel crusades, Christian torture till the 1900s? Still none them closes an exhibition/cultural event because in the past some king or ruler is depicted as cruel and inhuman. History tells us what happened, it is important to learn from past errors. Hiding one's head in the sand won%u2019t change facts or rewrite history. It is as foolish to prevent an artist using his imagination. The more narrow minded we become the easier it is to divide us & take advantage of any situation. Why pull religion into every topic in discussion? Why not learn to be tolerant? Religion is a personal issue, the more we insist on making it public the more disharmony there will be with more distance for misunderstandings and hatred to flourish. Destructive thoughts are easy. Can you blame anyone else then for your country not being considered a near-superpower? Our overall attitude must change. Our enemies want to divide us. Don't give them scope.
