Excellent analysis-tongue-in-cheek but relevant. I would suggest a few more examples- Compare compassion levels-- 1)Bamiyan Buddhas- compare civilian response-Muslim response- 2)Twin towers- ditto, Mohammed cartoons-Quran burning-ditto.Theo Van gogh murder-ditto. Need more?

Ah regarding hussain- He would not need to flee. All he needed was to draw Mohammad and his child bride with the same divine brush he painted Hindu gods. He was asked to do it, the choice he made makes my argument.

Nice read..Sometimes I fear that India doesnt become what happend in Iran and lose all its rich cultural heritage under religious fundementalists (the trend is growing very fast)

There is more of a global brotherhood feeling among Muslims than any other religion, which induces a desire of not aligning with the local values much. Also, they are still controlled by a book written in a distant land in some other language, and hence indirectly by powerful seminaries & it’s guardians, who bring it’s interpretations to the followers. Just like any ruler high on power, a clergy does the story telling in a way which will keep him important & relevant. The political set-up has always kept feeding these to indirectly suppress the advent of individual & modern thoughts in the masses.
This is in contrast to religions like Hinduism, where the preachers & story tellers are day by day getting confined to an apolitical role. Last few decades have seen reformers tying & almost succeeding in cleaning Hinduism of evils like Sati, Child-marriage etc. There is still a lot to do as evils like Dowry, Superstitions & Discrimination keep mocking us. Similarly Muslim moderates & reformers need to stand up, and then be politically supported to show the way forward

Great!!!
That means there are still some Indians who can make rational and outwards argument without bothering to be politically correct.

@Anonymous At no point in the blog I have denied that there exists a shadow of terrorism at the other side of the coin. The idea was to have a comparison of both sides and all know who would win the battle hands down.

There are instances of Hindu, Jews and even Sikh terror; but to what extent? Are they in realty any threat to world peace by any stretch of imagination as the Islam terror is? The answer is obvious.

And still if we keep on comparing the two dangers on same yardstick it would be same as claiming the minimum entry criteria to Harvard in terms of age is 7 years since there are couple of guys that old are doing PHd.

Again I rest my case for the second time

Never intended to fight a case for 'The Hindu'. It's just a news source where I have read news of both the sides. If you intend to downplay that, I will try to search and provide you other news sources about non-islamic terrorism which unfortunately do exist, as unfortunately as the islamic terrorism itself.

But, I won't.

I just presented an example so as to make you understand that, I also know that, there is another side of the same coin which one can not ignore. Can not ignore just because it makes one's own side look bad.

A very small percentage of overall human population can't avoid getting involved in such anti-social activities. It's the responsibility of the rest of the population is to ignore their misdeeds for the sake of a better future.

An eye for an eye is definitely going to ensure that ours becomes a blind's world.

@Last Anonymous -

The Hindu? Really? This looks quite out of shorts when one lectures about unbiased writing and then throws an article from Hindu to supplement his argument.

As it is, 'The Hindu' trumpeting fair and unbiased publication is as good as a prostitute lecturing about the value of virginity.

I rest my case!!

Now thats what I call a prolific hate speech. Absolute illogical venting.

I am not at all a supporter of Deoband or RSS. And so far, not an admirer of biased bloggers like you.

Answering to your question about Deoband's stance in case of RSS/MF Hussaid case, may I ask where was your blog during those days? Did you ask Hindus of those days to make their stand clear and stop spreading the saffron terror (Read this from today's The Hindu - http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2790960.ece?homepage=true)

I'm sure you are an avid follower of Salman Rushdie or Tasleema Nasreen, but the followership of MF Hussain was much larger.

Having said that I don't justify the acts RSS or Deoband, I just totally reject your demand for the muslims to make their stand clear (once again).

Deoband and RSS are the one and same protectors of self and attackers of others.

India is the only secular nation of this world and I am a proud Indian. Please let us be this way.

As usual Congress is dividing the nation on the basis of Religion and caste. Why has'nt congress helped muslims rise above poverty in spite of being in power for sixty years. MY muslim borthers, please think twice before voting for congress or anyother pary that plays this devisive politics.
