Not just equal rights. And the Nepal Maoists are, in this, trailblazers for the rest of the world. "It is not enough to provide equal rights to the Muslims but they should be given special rights as compensation for having been suppressed." See what playing the victim card can get you?
"Once Hindu Nepal to give Muslims rights," from the Times of India, July 10 (thanks to Twostellas):
KATHMANDU: The Nepal Maoists, who played a key role in abolishing the 240-year-old Hindu monarchy and turning the country into a secular state, have vowed to ensure special rights to the minority Muslim community in the Himalayan nation."It is not enough to provide equal rights to the Muslims but they should be given special rights as compensation for having been suppressed," CPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda told a gathering of the Muslim Mukti Morcha (MMM), an organisation affiliated to the party of the former rebels.
Prachanda's support for special rights for the Muslims is seen as an attempt to garner the sympathy of the minority community, which mainly resides in the Terai-plains bordering India where the Maoists suffered setbacks in the April constituent assembly polls.
Declaring Nepal a secular nation was one of the 40-point demands put forth by the Maoists in 1996 when they started their insurgency in the country. Prachanda, who is poised to become the PM, promised to form a ‘Muslim commission' for the welfare of the minority community and develop pilgrimage sites of the community as tourist destinations....
Before we know it, we'll be hearing that a muslim, and not Edmund Hilary was the first to climb Everest.
does Opium grow in Nepal?
Seems to be a lot of convergence in the thought processes of leftists/Marxists/Communists, and Muslims... This must relate to why liberals (*) seem completely cheerful about undertaking policies that can have no other consequence but the crippling of Western Civilization.
(*)
Major liberal beliefs include:
"Western/ European culture is dominant and successful; this very fact is proof that it is immoral, unjust and coercive; therefore it must be curtailed at all costs";
"All cultures are wonderful in their own special way; those which are not successful are obviously oppressed and exploited by successful cultures {=the West}; so empowering the oppressed while imposing handicaps and sanctions on the oppressors is proper and necessary to bring balance to the world's power structure";
"We have glorious plans for changing the world to make everybody the same; equality will eliminate greed and envy and bring about Utopia; we'll tax the heck out of you to bring you down to everybody else's level and to bring everybody else up to your level; if you object you demonstrate just how hateful/ bigoted/ selfish/ narrow-minded/ foolish/ short-sighted/ and regressive you really are."
Pretty much sums up the holier-than-thou attitude of a true lib, don't you think?
Islam is opposed to secularism, so why are they sabotaging the state of Nepal.
I am sure that all the Hindus and Bangladesh would agree! If there were enough of them to make a quorum, that is.
The Muslim victim card is just disgusting. We see it every where. The west the east the north and the south. Soon we will see it on the Moon and on Mars. Has the world got some sort of selected amnesia. Has the modern world forgotten the atrocities Muslims have committed against non Muslims? Have they forgotten that India was ruled by the Mughals and invaded by these savages continuously did they consider the rights of the Hindus, or for that matter the Jews, Christians, Buddhists?
A_Nonny_Mouse: True libs would be in the mold of Thomas Jefferson who said "The government that governs least governs best." These folks are best described by Michael Savage by liberalism is a mental disorder.
No, Nonny. None of that represents classical liberalism. Liberals should be your allies in the struggle against jihadism.
Try using any of the quotes here when debating someone you identify as liberal about literalist Islam. (Just don't tell them how much RFK Senior sounded like Ayn Rand!)

From the rest of that article:
So the 95+% of Hindus can't celebrate Shri Rama, but the 1-% of Mohammedans can celebrate their myriad Ids. Whatever happened to enforcing pure Atheism - aren't the Maoists supposed to be Atheists?It was bad enough losing the world's only officially Hindu country, which was once a combination of Hindu/Buddhist: it's unthinkable that this country, which escaped ever being part of either the Delhi Sultanate or the Moghul empire is now inviting these creeps over.
The Hindus ought to take a page out of their book, form an army and start paramilitary operations demanding not only a reversal of all this, but a restoration of the Hindu status and making Communism illegal. After all, that is what the Maoists used in their quest for power.
I seem to recall that some years ago, when a group of Hindu Nepali workers in Iraq were kidnapped and beheaded, non-Muslims in Nepal rioted and burned down mosques in order to exhibit their displeasure with the barbaric Mohammedan belief-system.
One hopes that Christians, Buddhists and Hindus in Nepal will wake up to their common danger and assist one another to resist the Stealth Jihad and the Terror Jihad.
It is a fact that Christians *have* been persecuted, qua Christians, in Nepal, in the past- not only by some Hindus, but also by those very same Maoist insurgents who have now achieved power and are toadying to the Muslims (Christians are and have been persecuted by all communist-derived regimes, whether in the USSR, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and elsewhere; the persecution of Christians in North Korea is probably the only persecution worse than that which is inflicted by the House of Saud).
I would hazard a guess that the Christians suffered a good deal more than the Muslims did, and mostly undeservedly; whereas one may suspect that any suffering the Muslims came in for, was most likely brought on Muslim heads by Muslim aggression and all sorts of minor and major criminal acts.
The Chicoms are the ones who are behind the maoists of Nepal. And these Chicoms are also the reason why the U.N. is not able to do anything in Sudan, since the Chicoms get oil from there. Mr. Huntington is correct. The only thing he got wrong was calling it a "clash of civilizations", it is not. What it is, is a clash of civilization with absolute barbarity, with the Chicoms on the side of barbarians.

And to think the forthcoming Olympics are being held there. Shame on the world!
German woman forced off the bus - driver claims he was distracted by her cleavage.
I am wondering if this was an "immigrant" driver and what "religion" he was likely a member of.. he got rid of the "uncovered meat" before he had to resort to raping her. How noble..

Mein Gott! What a curmudgeon!
Suicide by political pandering. They must be taking lessons from Olmert.
All animals are equal.Some animals are more equal than others.
/Will Nepal have another election, or was the one that brought the Maoists to power the only time they will need to vote?
That sounds like a Zimbabwe-style election!
