But I can't help adding that religion stinks and the sooner we learnt to live without it...the better.<BR/><BR/>However, that's no reason for theists to feel offended.

Its the person out there to show his "creativity" who needs to show some tolerance.<BR/>Not everything can be allowed in the name of "open society".<BR/>I appreciate the fact that americans use their freedom of speech to critisize their own president in public forums, I appreciate the fact that at least, our legilatures cant be convicted for anything they say in the house... but some issues are beyond this purview and Religion is definitly one such issue.saurabhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089396131832330206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995744.post-1147948314357858592006-05-18T11:31:00.000+01:002006-05-18T11:31:00.000+01:00My ideas are not for sale!

I didn't get to see it myself...so will refrain from forming an opinion.<BR/><BR/>But I do have my fair share of suspicion on the vociferous & fervant fanatics who went on the rampage. They hardly have a reputation for tolerance anyway. We can't afford to be judicious based on the knee-jerk reactions of scattered bunches of hysteria-hit people.Deepanjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313106810885221711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995744.post-1147945974011532842006-05-18T10:52:00.000+01:002006-05-18T10:52:00.000+01:00Okay, first I need to make one thing clear, i am n...Okay, first I need to make one thing clear, i am not against the views aired in The Code, and primarily because of my naivity regarding the religious belief involved.<BR/>But if you are saying that the acts of Danish Cartoonints or Hussein was <I>"simple case of a benign but avant garde idea"</I>, then sorry, I am not buying that.saurabhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089396131832330206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995744.post-1147938325300453502006-05-18T08:45:00.000+01:002006-05-18T08:45:00.000+01:00A tricky issue!

It could be a simple case of a benign but avant garde idea being misinterpreted as an outrightly contemptuous attempt at impinging on commonly held and revered beliefs.<BR/><BR/>If people have an objection, there are many ways of exhibiting objection...including peaceful protests. Turning violent, expressing communal expletives or disrupting daily activities is no way of going about it.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, when administrative mechanisms are too sluggish, people often take to resorting to such extreme measures to gain visibility and prominence. Clearly, it's an act of desperation-very symptomatic of a flawed system.Deepanjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313106810885221711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995744.post-1147933193292685742006-05-18T07:19:00.000+01:002006-05-18T07:19:00.000+01:00The onus to act in a mature way lies not just with...The onus to act in a mature way lies not just with the people who are protesting, but also with those who try to gain cheap press space under this so called "freedom of speech" concept. I really dont think that what Danish Cartoonists or for that matter, our very own Fida Hussein has done, comes under this "Freedom of Speech". If something is out there, deliberately hurting the religious sentiments, it should be banned.saurabhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089396131832330206noreply@blogger.com
