Editorial Perspective
Fanatical Muslims from Islamic countries and India take the law into their own hands after any alleged insult of the religious beliefs of Quran, Prophet Muhammad etc. No one preaches them anything about this. On the other hand, Hindus denigrate their own places of worship and other Hindus support it under the guise of freedom of expression ! Even if someone protests the denigration, no action is taken ! |
