Abdulla,
why is it that muslims like you want to silence intellectuals like Muhammad, CPA?? Please explain what has made you say that he is betrayer of Muslims?? I feel his voice should be encouraged. Its the only way to bridge the gap!!!!
People who protest against people who speak against the holy quran are justified as long as the means of protests are civilized.. demanding the heads of authors, stabbing film makers and burning down streets is as crass as it gets!!!
We had riots in India when the danish cartoons were published!!! what stupidity!!! Muslims like you took the street and trashed shops, burnt cars and destroyed public property!!! You call this a protest??? This is down right hooliganism and against the law!!! Many of your so called "protestors" left the protesting and quitely looted the burning shops!!! We have one over enthusiastic Maulana here who stood on the podium of the protest rally and announced a prize on 10 Million Indian Rupees for the man who would bring him the cartoonist's head!!!
If quran has verses which call non muslims as pigs and apes, call us kaffirs and najees, infidels and hurls abuses on idol worshippers then by all means we shall say something against it!!
