I am a little confused by Gabe's post. Does he want the offended christian extremists belonging to the CSF to emulate that select group extremist muslims into conducting violence against civil society? Or is he implying that the christian extremists are not as violent as some of the muslim Jihadies and that Sanal should thank his lucky stars that he is still alive. In this post, Gabe is sounding a lot like former goanetter Mario G who would take any opportunity to disparage muslims.

Wouldn't this comment about Muslims in the interview and in the subject line "hurt the feelings" of Muslims? Here is the rhetorical question in the interview, which insinuates ina public forum that Muslims in general are intolerant: QUOTE Would he have dared to make any uncharitable remarks against the Muslim community? UNQUOTE Please see: http://www.thesundayindian.com/article_print.php?article_id=34385 Perhaps, now Muslims have a reason to file a criminal law suit under the blasphemy law, IPC Section 295A.
