This is in response to the blog “Why Muslims hate Taslima Nasreen” by Ansari Mohammed Rehan
http://www.ndtvblogs.com/views/viewcomments.asp?gl_guid=&blogname=rehan&q_blogid=18553&ref=8/14/2007%205:27:31%20PMUnless there is freedom of expression, humans will be stunted. Only through freedom can truth be discovered, lived or re-lived.
To compare Taslima and M.F. Hussain is misplaced. Taslima's was a rebellion against the Islamic society that she felt was oppressing women. She is or was herself a Muslim. Whereas M.F.Hussain was simply giving wings to his imagination when he painted, for example, Sita riding nude on Hanuman's tail. While freedom of expression includes freedom to run riot imaginatively, Hussain has consistently chosen Hindu icons to be colourful with. Why no icons from his own religious world of Islam? Thus I would see M.F. Hussain as a hypocrite whereas Taslima's is a cry of an oppressed womanhood under Islam.
Another point. For example, I might find it questionable that a much married man in his 50s who again marries a 9 year old girl is touted as a model of mankind and may write about it. Would I thereby be charged for character assassination or hurting of religious sentiments? The point is, I would be basing my expression on facts like Taslima and not on imagination like Hussain.

You see you can't be emotional about issues like brave lady TASLIMA. Poor girl knows the truth about Islamists. Islamist Rule is simple pillage, rape, murder on the name of ALLah and you will go to heaven but should you speak on truth about unfair ALLAH than you are in danger territory as people like newly converts 'AR REHMAN' won't land you their voices; so why would MUSLIM MLA's who make the mockery of Indian legal system by breaking the law ...hitting Taslima in front of CAMERA'. Only way there would be peace on this earth is that whole of INDIA and the world converts to Islam or CHATHOLICISM or else Indians and Hindu cowards have no chance with new Khalifa Movement. Sorry I think there is a light at the end of tunnel if Indians follow American way ... pragmatic and sensible way.

A 54 years old man who bonks a child of 9 years is a "Phedophile"If someone is having highest esteem for such pervert "MODEL" then it is his/her problem and not ours.Speaking truth is not character as*as*ination but eye-opener.
