Comment:
I am amazed at Santosh's wild imagination. He sees red in the most innocuous 
statement. Any sensible, objective or levelheaded person reading the above 
statement will fail to find any criticism or objectionable word against any 
religion or anyone for that matter.In fact, he misses the crux of the message 
which was in the attachment, a write up by George Menezes addressed to L K 
Advani.

May I ask Santosh whether he is allergic to the word 'christian'? As a 
christian am I banned from saying that my religion teaches me to offer my other 
cheek? Not to hate? Will Santosh kindly explain what is partisan or 
chauvinistic about this?. He too can follow the same principles. No one is 
stopping him. Also will he kindly explain in what way does such a statement 
fail to promote communal harmony?

Does applauding Gurumurthy contribute to communal harmony? Does posting the 
article by Ingrid Albuquerque calling the protest against the carnage in Orissa 
'an unnecessary furore' contribute to communal harmony? Santosh does not 
practice what he preaches. There is a word for this in the English language. It 
is called HYPOCRISY. 

Santosh apparently has formed some pre-conceived idea about me. Therefore 
anything that I post is like a red red rag to a bull for him. He just has to 
find some fault - real or imaginary.Mostly imaginary.

May I request Santosh to at least read George Menezes' article and let us 
discus that rather than indulge in this inane debate which leads nowhere.

Regards,

Marshall
