India: Muslim MP demands ban of Islamocritical book and arrest of its author

A glimpse into the future of the West. And we are very close to this now, far closer than most people realize, as critics of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others are now routinely excoriated, vilified, demonized, deplatformed, and shunned by all decent people. What is the next step? This.

“Badruddin Ajmal writes to Union home ministry seeking ban on book allegedly demeaning Islam; author denies the claim,” Firstpost, November 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Even as the nation awaits the verdict of the Ram Janambhoomi and Babri Masjid case with bated breath, Assam MP Maulana Badruddin Ajmal has written a letter to the Ministry of Home Affairs demanding a ban on a recently published book on Islam citing a fear that it might cause communal tension.

The letter also demands arrest of its writer Satya Ranjan Bora, who is also a leader in the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the BJP.

The book, written in the Assamese language with the title Islam Aru Quranor Kalankita Kothabur, was launched in the Guwahati Press Club on Sunday and has attracted a major controversy in the state.

Ajmal further expressed apprehension that as the judgment on the Babri Masjid case is likely to be delivered by the Supreme Court soon, this book may create communal tension affecting the law and order situation in the country, particularly in Assam.

The book, which is in the eye of the storm, cites 52 verses of The Quran raising questions on the status of women in Islam, the meaning of Jihad, Islamisation and also practices like Nikah Halala.

“In Quran, the word Jihad is used multiple times. In the real world too we have seen terrorist groups killing people in the name of Allah. Is this what Jihad means?” Bora told Firstpost….
