You have your own perverted reasons for hating Islam. In my view, Judaism, Christianity and Islam have the same roots, different (last?) Prophets. If you hate Islam, then you should hate the other religions of the Book too. You might not know, but what you actually despise are some of the...

WTF are you on about? How do you expect a Kashmiri muslim to follow Shaivism? And what does that have to do with traditions and culture? If I convert to Rastafarian tomorrow, why would I follow and worship Hindu Gods? But then, if I am staying in India, would I stop eating Indian food or wearing...

Yes yes, the religious fundamentalist scum whose fundamentalist ideology has taken over the Kashmir valley!

What are you even talking about? They are still Kashmiris, they still follow age old Kashmiri traditions. People converting to or following Islam will definitely stop worshiping Hindu Gods. So whats your point here?

If you knew anything about KSA, the safety and legitimacy of the royal family's rule depends, to a large extent, on the support of western nations. Imagine what would happen to the 'royals' if KSA was held to the same standards as the western world imposes on Russia or China.

He is actually right, except for his last statement. You are confusing religion with culture. India is infact mindbogglingly diverse. With diverse ethinicites, religions, cultures, traditions, cuisine, etc. A diversity so vast that many people actually have difficulty in comprehending and...

IMHO, the pilot wasnt actually threatening the P-3C and that wasnt an actual aggressive display of weapons. It isnt that subtle. Showing off the weapons load would constitute an aggressive stance. The Su pilot was just maintaining his distance and sort of escorting the P-3C.

Lol. The British empire was scared of the INA? And the size of the INA was 2.5 mil? Where do you get your "information" from? If you have read your history correctly, from irrefutable sources, you would know that the first INA collapsed and the second INA consisted of around less than 50K...

I too have seen the movie and felt it to be quite good. This, when I am not particularly fond of even Saving Private Ryan (IMHO Thin Red Line is a better war movie)!! Agreed that its not in the same class as Iwo Jima/Letters of our Fathers or Million Dollar Baby or even Gran Torino, but still it...

They are more of miscreants and a nuisance to society than a 'terror' group. Atleast in the real sense of the term 'terror', they dont go about killing or lopping off heads of people for blasphemy or to propagate a perverted ideology!

Who made you one?

Yes you can. And you should criticize, make fun of religions. Does not matter if it offends everybody else's sentiments. Until and unless there is no physical harm done, no targeted mental torture of a particular group of people, no hateful actions undertaken, till then, everything is...

Ugh...? Come again. Anywho, looks like you didnt read my post carefully. Here's what I said previously " I have never said that you don't have the right to protest." Since the thread is about protests against this particular book, I just asked, what and why are you supporting the protesters...

I actually am. So please explain in simple terms why this book is so offensive. The legal matters come later. I have never said that you don't have the right to protest. But what exactly are you protesting against here?

Exactly. Just because the Hindutava brigade is up upon the poor author and calling for a ban, you seem to have jumped the bandwagon. Without even knowing why you are protesting the book! The point here is not about legal rights, but what exactly in the book caused so much butthurt feelings in...

What exactly is offensive in the book? And havent we all seen posters or calenders with a form which is half Lord Shiva and half Parvati? Then why so butthurt?

What is so offensive about the novel or story? Its a tragic story, which I am sure has repeated throughout history in many countries! The stigma associated with childlessness in any patriarchal society has been well documented over the years in many communities. So pray, why all the uproar...

That's one hellva inflammatory statement to make. Majority of the human population certainly disagrees. As for the blasphemy law, its still 'religion' based. And most religion based "laws" infringe upon the basic human rights. Such laws are to be taken with a grain of salt, moreover they are...

NVM. This is article's only about the Asian RimPac countries' navies. And they counted them all !! Yay!!

What style are you talking about? The one which you use, like threatening to kill people who do not bow down to your dikats? Freedom of expression is just that. There is no correct 'ethical or moderate' way for freedom of expression. If a criticism doesn't elicit a response, then it is either...
