A hate crime mentality on steroids.HYDERABAD, India — HYDERABAD, India — Indian police charged Monday, August 13, a Bangladeshi writer known for her frequent attacks on Islam with offending Muslims after a complaint from a leading Muslim party in this southern city.
"A case was booked against Taslima Nasreen that her anti-Islamic views and writings hurt Muslim sentiments," Hyderabad police official L.K. Shinde told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Under the Indian penal code, promoting "disharmony or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will" between groups on the basis of religion is punishable by up to three years in jail.
Freedom of speech is the first casualty of a Democracy that preoccupies itself with NOT offending the sensibilities of it's minorities.
