She doesn't have to, Islam does a fine job of that itself...

Thanks to a street riots to draw attention to hurt Muslim sentiments. Actions are always louder than words. Thanks to the All-India Minority Forum for we can now give a sigh of relief for their sentiments from the religon of peace.

I suspect we will see many more days like this if Olmert decides not to surrender Israel. If one Woman can cause this much ruckus...

Posted by: flowerknife_us at November 21, 2007 4:37 PM

Um... Other than showing the entire world a lack of common sense, intelligence, civilization, ad nauseum, what do these rioters hope to do?

I mean, I can open the Qur'an and read that I'm among the vilest creatures (and wonder why any sane Deity would create vile creatures, in the first place). Now, that hurts my feelings, dammit!

But, I'm not going to go out and torch my car. I'm not going to firebomb every house in the neighborhood, and brawl with total strangers. I'm not going to go downtown and yell and scream obscenities and death wishes for others. Shucks, I probably won't even burn a "Noble" Qur'an.

Huh? What's that you're saying?

Oh! "It's the Islam, stupid". Yes, quite so.

No matter how many times I see this kind of behavior from muslims, I just can't seem to comprhend it. It just casues sooo much WTF? in my mind when I see this stuff.

Posted by: walterc at November 21, 2007 6:16 PM

The Communists and Congress party equally appeased Muslims for vote bank. Muslims have very high birth, poverty and illiteracy rate and Indian politicians created this Frankenstein by consulting with their religious leaders who in turn get instructions from Saudi funded mosques. Mosque leaders often tell Muslims which party to vote for in elections.

Muslims will never be faithful citizens of any secular nation. Their loyality is with the umma and Mecca, not with motherland!

Pakistan had 25% minority (mostly Hindus) in 1947. Now, it is less than one percent. Meanwhile Muslim population in India increased from 9 percent to 15 percent. Indian muslims never were patriotic - just practising WOMB JIHAD, TAQUITA JIHAD and VIOLENT JIHAD against fellow citizens! It is time truely patriotic Indians ask for population exchange with Pakistan. Muslims are no good for India.

Maybe teaching Islamaniacs anything other than the Koran is a bad idea after all. Everytime they read something about their cult that isn't fawning all over it it's riot time. Better to keep them illiterate-it might make them a little less violent.

re: rethinking your democracy project

please read attached article on muslim riots in Calcutta over writings deemed offensive to islam. India, as you may have heard at some point in your life, has been a democracy since its independence in the 1940's. Yet outbreaks of muslim extremism, such as this recent one in Calcutta, occur in democratic countries with disturbing regularity. I suggest, therefore, that you re-think your strategy of fighting the "war on terror" by bringing democracy & freedom to muslim lands. It's a wasted effort.

Posted by: alexon at November 21, 2007 10:31 PM

India has a huge Muslim population but it is still a "minority." This is coming to Europe and the US. In fact, we already saw in Europe that this thing already happens in Europe with a much smaller "minority" of Muslims. It'd be great if moderate Muslims, if they exist, could police the Muslim community, but it is simply not so.

With any Muslims community, even a minority community in a larger society, you get a critical mass of Islamist nuts, as well as run-of-the-mill angry Muslims, greedy lawsuit-loving Muslims who are out for a buck (in addition to the real legal jihadis), etc. In other words, with Muslims you get the wheat with a huge heck of a lot of chaffe.

Until Muslims can control themselves and their own communities, it's very risky to allow any Muslims to immigrate to the West. Even if 10% of the immigrants are jihadis or just non-assimilating in-between world opportunists, it's too great a risk for the survival of the West. That 10% or more or less - we don't know but we know it's a sizable sub-community - is just too dangerous and destructive.

Unless the non-islamic world sets aside its differences and does something to annihilate islam, I am afraid Islam will be the only religion in another ten years.

And that will be the beginning of another gory end to all that is good, lovable, likeable and cherishable.

You are right. It may be a bit longer, depending on the location, but it will happen everywhere unless we all wake up.

Yeats: "The best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity."

Tolkien through the character King Theoden (in "The Two Towers,: ironically): "The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure. How shall any tower withstand such numbers and such reckless hate?"

Movie version of Tolkien's statement: "So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate?"

Indeed!

Posted by: Wimbledon Womble at November 22, 2007 2:56 AM

Wasn't the partition of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan supposed to prevent this sort of thing?

Perhaps it's silly of me, but I can't help thinking that if a Muslim wants to live in a place where "mocking Islam" is a crime, there are already plenty of countries that fit his bill. So why do they persist in migrating to places where people are (relatively) free to speak their minds? To say nothing of women's scandalous clothing choices in such places.

I know, I know, never mind...

Posted by: Francis W. Porretto at November 22, 2007 5:01 AM

Assalamau Laikum all,

Clearly some (muslims)are not happy to change Allah'S holy words....the ethos that womens should know their place from the time they are born to the death and even beyond...to the afterlife is carefully laid out in the Koran albiet that the devil is in the detail.

Judging by what is happening in Pak....and what is in store for Pak....clearly at the moment it looks like partition and a separate muslim state was a bad idea.

A complete India, with about 35% of the population being muslim would have been a far more powerful position for mussalmaniat for the whole of the subcontinent, instead the area is falling apart.

I think the next geneation of Pak who have been educated and brought up in Madrassae will hold the key. Once shariat takes hold in parts of Pak and starts to spread particularily in the Punjab side of Pak...sharia will take root and a much more integrated Ummah within Pak will emerge.

Ofcourse womens position in Islamic society will be extremely well known....it is the kaffur who try to muddy Allah's SWT deep clear holy waters....

riots unfortunately result from muddy water.

It's beginning to look as if the only way to deal with these people is to proscribe the "religion", just as some countries proscribe scientology, until there is a ruling council for Islam that will take responsibility for, and do something about, the terrorists and extremists. The world doesn't need these people or, at present, this religion

Thank you Naseem,

for admitting that Muslim society in Pakistan would have been far more viable riding on the coat-tails of the Hindu infidels, who are so productive and dynamic. You are absolutely correct.

Instead, the Muslim separatism and supremacism that was at the core of partition has resulted in the same societal conditions in Pakistan that to one extent or another afflict all Muslim societies: namely, dysfunctionality.

-from a soon to be refugee?

You ain't just whistling dixie there darling,but as long as that handy projection glass is pointed squarely at the good ole kaffir,some "humans" feel they are absolved from any responsibility for their actions. An entitlement toward chaos.

"Ofcourse womens position in Islamic society will be extremely well known"

Extremely? You don't mean Extremely? So it ain't so!,please

Alas good luck in the land of the "pure" and know that there are people elsewhere,women included, who know their"position" to be one of individualism,ingenuity,faith,prosperity and the freedom to thrive or flounder. Such people shall always be free of the stagnation and death reaped by evil ideologies,even if their stories were forgotten by the tongues of humankind.

However, this issue brings out the matter of illegal Bangladeshi migration to India. There are over 20 million of them, and they bring their murder cult with them. The protesters are loyal to Bengali imams, and seek to do their dirty work.

Disloyals Muslims need to be booted out of every country in the West. They are a drain on law enforcement, and - if they had their way - tens of billions of dollars would have to be paid by employers, in order to accomodate their praying to their non-existent deity. I have seen carpet humping at my workplace and in public libraries; we all deserve protection from the murder cult.

Naseem, you have to thank your Kayed-e-Azom for separation from India and the aftermath of muslims. Gandhiji http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi said "Hindus and Muslims are the two eyes of India" He pleaded with Jinnah to stay with India but Jinnah did not care for the Father of India.

Well, reap as you sow, Mohterma. Or, in Hinduism, KARMA!

Posted by: exsgtbrown at November 23, 2007 10:04 AM

Naseem admits that Muslim societies are not viable without a source of unearned wealth -- either oil discovered and drilled for by people with an actual civilization, or jizya ( "protection" money extracted from non-Muslim residents of Muslim-controlled areas).

In either case, Islam must be parasitic on an actual civilization to survive

I saw some of the footage on the Kolkata muslim fundamentalist violence on TV. It was shocking, to say the least. There was a little girl, barely five or six years old, returning from school with one of her eyes bandaged.School buses and cars carrying students back home were torched- so much for the religion of "peace". Later , I read a newspaper article where some of the rioters were interviewed. One of them was a Grade 3 dropout from school - many others were illiterate. On asked whether they had read any work of Taslima's, they replied that of course they hadn't , but being told by the mullahs that she had "insulted" Islam was provocation enough.
Since then Taslima has been forced by the "secular" leftist govennment of Bengal to leave Kolkata- I hear she's now in Delhi & only the BJP has offered her support.
My humble advice : Show these mullahs no mercy for you can expect to receive none.

I agree with most of the comments. I am a Muslim and I can tell you that fundamentalist are pulling this religion back to the medieval period. In modern democratic country, we should upheld freedom of speech and expression and not the freedom of bigotry. Its pathetic to see some "secular" parties have bowed down to this unjustified demand of religious idiots. As some people have said, moderate voices in Islam is kind of rare species in today's world. We should all demand for preservation of those voices failing to which they will extinct. What you guys think? ..::))
Its more shameful for me because I am bengali, I am a Muslim and I come from Park Circus ( where riot took place )
