For freedom, stand by Taslima Nasreen

If Ms Nasreen is forced to leave India, make no mistake that a time will come when anybody who doesn't subscribe to the twisted worldview of Islamic fanatics will be similarly hounded in this wondrous secular democracy of ours.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Yes, how to make them know when they're consumed with self-righteous religious zeal that is uncompromising. No one has discovered the answer yet.

True-- no-one knows what to do about them. Confront them and they get even angrier-- placate them and they see it as a sign of weakness...and get even angrier.

Contain, capture or kill may be the only resolution with such unreasoning virulent groups. The Saudis claim success with "deprogramming," as far-fetched as that sounds.

Aid and development would resolve many of the problems in Pakistan's tribal areas, too, but an implacable Taliban element works against solutions. Imbued with extremism, some must be met head on.

but systematic plan for cultural programming (education, environment, cultural values) would go a long way towards prevention (and reduce the expense and chaos of the short term reaction.) Both tracks should be pursued simultaneously
But-- how will Muslims react to the idea that we are trying to change them?

The world has become a small place for Islamic fundamentalism, its reach is global,look any where and you will find its spread there...
They are sending a signal ,that we don't want to co-exist with any one, we want to exist among our self only...

Yes, control cannot be ceded to these groups. Else, all is lost.

An update:
. . . The riots appeared to be the culmination of years of simmering anger at Nasreen. Some radical Muslims hate Nasreen for saying Islam and other religions oppress women, and Indian clerics had issued a "death warrant" against her in August.
Fussing and making every word she writes ring true.

She's safe, but the government wants her to be quiet.
Well many Muslims are very sensitive-- they sometimes do some pretty extreme things in response to any perceived insult-- for example the recent case of The teacher who named a Teddy Bear''Mohammed''

Yeah, I heard about that. A big and stupid mistake, but now Khartoum is in a quandary about backing down. It will appear weak.

The leader of the country is a total moron.
But-- his anti-Semitism and paranoia fits in quite well with that of many other middle-eastern leaders:
Sudanese minister promises his country 'will find the way to deal with refugees'. Israel to continue aiding those fleeing Darfur until international solution is found
Sudanese Interior Minister Zubair Bashir Taha blamed Israel for using his country's refugee crisis to undermine Sudan's international reputation, Ynet has learned Monday.
The Sudanese authorities, he added, would "find the appropriate way to deal" with those who "dared immigrate to Israel."

krishna, blame Israel? That would be amusing if it wasn't so cynically vile. Khartoum is undermining the regime's reputation all by itself. It's not Sudan, it's Khartoum with the self-inflicted black eye.
Nakhokho, isn't it ironic that Israel offers solace? And isn't it evil that those who flee face death for choosing life?

That of course is the key question. I don't know-- I don't think anybody else does either.

To negotiate is a sign of weakness in their minds. They must be eradicated. Nakhokho, you'll be an old man before this ends.
