Dear Shahina,
Why those accolades from the so called islamists troubling you so much?
What makes it mandatory to prove that you are not with the 'extremists' when
you stand up for the rights of a muslim? Is it the same Bush doctrine of
'war-on-terror' ('if you are not with us, you are with them') haunting you?
or the RSS interogation that ask a muslim to prove his/her patriotism?
Prasad: Your reference of that Hindu-Masculine bomb is extremely important
in the context of the new discussions on the nuclear deal that has changed
completely now with both sides shamelessly argue for India's right to repeat
the nuclear tests and making bombs... The main "concern" now is the Pakistan
bomb... How can we "retaliate" to a nuclear bomb fell in Indian soil? Is it
by retaliating by putting an equal number in Lahore or Karachi?
Regards
Afthab Ellath
