Hindustan Times
A song for Saina
Our own Hyderabad gal
Was up against the Great Wall
She did try hard, our Saina
To beat the Red Star of China
Poor girl’s lost the semis
But spoke with plenty of tameez
As she owned up her defeat
And her uncooperative feet
A fine woman she is, our this shuttle queen
in an age when sporties vent spleen
She accepts her fate with grace
And quite means what she says!
She is to baddie what Dravid’s to his game
She talks like a lady and walks like a Dame
Chooses no one but her self to blame
Her shoulders take easy her global fame.
Up at London, beaten by a Wang
The silver’s not hers. Oh, Dang!
Another Wang is ahead, this time for bronze
Oh, dear Saina! Don’t blow this chance!
Sharpen your game, polish your tricks,
You are our great hope at the Olympics!
Make us feel proud, make us feel tall
Go for a medal, like it’s now or Nehwal!
Muslims seem to be cursed human beings !

This is intellectual fraud of lowest order.
What has Rushdie written , I have read the book three times , IT IS FAR LESS SACRELIGIOUS THAN HUSSAIN PAINTING SARASWATI NUDE.
How about a UN RESOULTION against the person who writes such demeaning and villifying words
The Jews and Christians say: ‘We are the children of God and His loved ones.’ Say: ‘Why then does He punish you for your sins?” (Surah 5:18)
“Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends.” (Surah 5:51)
“The God will say: ‘Jesus, son of Mary, did you ever say to mankind ‘Worship me and my mother as gods besides God?’ ‘Glory to You, ‘he will answer, ‘how could I ever say that to which I have no right?” (Surah 5:114-)
“Believers, when you encounter the infidels on the march, do not turn your backs to them in flight. If anyone on that day turns his back to them, except it be for tactical reasons…he shall incur the wrath of God and Hell shall be his home…” (Surah 8:12-)
“Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme.” (Surah 8:36-)
AND HOW ABOUT FATWA AGAINST MARLOWE , who burns KORAN in his play TAMBURLANE , HERE ARE THE LINES
Tamburlaine: Now, Casane, where’s the Turkish Alcoran, And all the heaps of superstitious books Found in
the temples of that Mahomet Whom I have thought a god? They shall be burnt . . .
. . . In vain, I see, men worship Mahomet.
My sword hath sent millions of Turks to hell, Slew all his priests, his kinsmen, and his friends, And yet I live untouch’d by Mahomet.
There is a God, full of revenging wrath, From whom the thunder and the lightning breaks, Whose scourge I am, and him will I obey.
So Casane; fling them in the fire.
(They burn the books.)
Now, Mahomet, if thou have any power, Come down thyself and work a miracle.
Thou art not worthy to be worshipped That suffers flames of fire to burn the writ Wherein the sum of thy religion rests . .
IF SOMEBODY WRITES Newton was a horse . What should we do , issue Fatwa , or ignore knowing that the guy is revealing his ignorance.
ONLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOT SURE OF THE FOUNDATION . OF THEIR ARGUMENT , WILL RESORT TO VIOLENCE.
Holocaust denying is not an offence in India , NOR SHOULD IT BE , JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS DENYING IT , DOESN’T MAKE IT TRUE.
just calling Newton a horse wont make newton a horse
NATURE IS FREE ,SO SHOULD BE HOMO SAPIENS

Every time a muslim puts pen to paper they reveal their God. Vile, evil and psychopathically schizophrenic, why should anyone care what they think? Well, they have to, mostly from fear of what they will do next. Unfortunately science suggests that the most rabid followers of this death cult are genetically predisposed to be religious and violent to boot. As the following posts may illustrate.

Zia, I totally support your view as expressed here, and I quote you:
For freedom to be downright offensive to be upheld as a universal right, it must be uniformly applied and accepted. This would make it impossible for governments to criminalise “online jihad” and “zealots” Rushdie hates. It would also militate against many of the Western world’s settled views, such as what constitutes libel. It could, for instance, also make a case for the right to Holocaust denial. Just about anything cannot pass as free speech. Or we might have to contend with Khomeini’s very speech that pronounced the death sentence on Rushdie.
If you don’t want to be offended, then don’t offend others – give respect, take respect, as the cliche goes.

The model you are suggesting here has many names. Two well known ones are called fascism and totalitarianism. There is no freedom of speech if there is no freedom to offend. If you go by your rules, no one should talk about casteism since that would “offend” some. Insecure communities which are intrinsically structured not to evolve by introducing many taboos into their peoples minds are a threat to civilization.

One can talk about any issue / subject openly and clearly, without being offending. I can say that casteism is an ideology which is not religious as it denies fellow human-beings the right to be equal in this world. and I believe that all human-beings are a creation of God who have made them equal. Science backs this veiw completely. Hence casteism is a crime against humanity which must be abolished culturally and socially. I hope I have not offended you.

See. You have proved my point.Freedom of speech includes freedom to offended. “offense” is a subjective term. Something a person says may be found offensive by some but brilliant and thought provoking by others. So do not ask people to be banned and support issuing death fatwas on people who “offend”. It’s rather primitive to do such things. This sort of behaviour may be normal in Islamist societies but here in India we atleast have higher aims even though we are not perfect.

Unfortunately true because of people like you and bal thackray.
When muslims say following don’t they abuse freedom of speech?
1. There is no god but allah.
2. Worshipping Idol is sinful.
3. All non-muslims are enemies of Islam.
4. In muslim majority country, non-muslims are forced to follow muslim $hit like not eating openly during Ramzan.
There are thousand other things that muslims do offending others but we tolerate it.

Zia,
You are an extremist Islamist radical, and a moron, without being aware of it.
[Reply]
Maybe Zia thinks that blasphemy laws are “reasonable restrictions” on people like Rushdie. Zia sounds more of a zealot than a thoughtful person. He is basically making the crude point that none can theorize or even create fiction based on Islamic holy cows which will offend his brothers. If you do that in the name of freedom of speech, you are an absolutist and you are the same as the people who put death fatwas on you. Zia should write as a writer and not as a “Muslim” writer. Attaching the name of a religion to ones choosen field in life is rather restricting and actually dangerous in some cases. An example is some “Muslim” doctors not washing their hands with alcohol because they are “Muslim” and putting their patients at risk.

Zia is more dangerous than zaid hamid. No media outlet in pakistan which values its credibility would touch zaid hamid with a six foot pole. But Zia is a columnist for a major india national media outlet like HT. Pak english media is more responsible than ours.

Tejinder, what can be morre indecent than calling a Arab pedophile who married a 9 year old child as a messenger of god? What can be more indecent than bowing towards primitive Arabia and demeaning yourself five time a day? What can be more indecent than killing people because they are not arabized? What can be more indecent than betraying your own ancestors by bowing down to the people who genocides them?
I am afraid that we are actually implementing blasphemy laws through the backdoor. Nothing else can explain all these bans, threats and fatwas.

Azaziah: Unfortunately, while the peoples of the Islamic world will indeed stand with the Islamic Revolution if the Zionist regime and its puppets attempt to assault it, the leaders of the Islamic world will not because let us be honest, they represent Islam as much as the idols destroyed by the Holy Prophet (SAWW) during the beginning days of his advent represented Islam. The monarchies of the Arab world are the worst kinds of hypocrites and the GCC, led by the morally-bankrupt and Zionist House of Saud and Al-Thani family, are now serving as the willing and able agents of the Zionist entity and its Anglo allies in America and Europe and if they are ordered to do so, they will participate in the planned onslaught against Iran. The true face of the House of Saud and Qatar can be seen in their participation in the ravaging of Libya and ongoing shadow operations inside Syria. What must be said though is that the Zionists and their marionettes are not ready for a full-brunt military confrontation with the Islamic Revolution, hence why they have chosen to use underhanded methods of subversion, through Mossad, CIA and Israeli-funded terror proxies like the MEK and Jundallah, to conduct a covert war against Iran for three decades. And as multiple authentic ahadith confirm, if the forces of Dajjal enter the lands of Persia, it is there, where they will be buried by the righteous. Insha’ALLAH

I think some Muslims have lost their sense of Humour. Satanic verses was a funny book as far as I was concerned. Some masala, some magic realism et el. What was so big.,
