Lunacy continued
In the beginging a fatwa was issued for Danish cartoonist,
now it has become a fatwa fest
Via Rediff,
The Hindu Personal Law Board on Wednesday announced a Rs 51 crore reward for eliminating artist M F Hussain.
".. Anyone who kills Hussain for making obscene paintings of goddess Sarswati and Bharat Mata, the Danish cartoonist, those in the German company printing pictures of Ram and Krishna on tissue paper and the French filmmaker desecrating Lord Shiva will be given Rs 51 crore in cash," Ashok Pandey, board president, said in a statement in Lucknow. ..."
This is not the end however,
Meanwhile, a Congress minority cell leader offered Rs 11 lakh to any 'patriot' to chop off the painter's hands for hurting Hindu sentiments.
".... Madhya Pradesh Congress committee minority cell vice-chairman Akthar Baig, in a statement in Indore, said the painter had 'played with the sentiments of the people and tried to disrupt communal harmony in the past by painting nude pictures of Hindu gods and goddess and now of Bharat Mata'......"
This would have been funny, if it wasn't a sad reality of Indian politics.
Some how democracy has become pandering in a most abject way. There is no level to which politicians can not stoop.Whatever the hue of the political ideology, the recurring motif is demagoguery of vilest kind.

I think this qualifies as hindu terrorism, where the word should be interpreted to mean "terrorism by people claiming to act for hinduism" ( as with the case of islamic terrorism ).
Now we can condemn these things, but I don't think that would solve the problem. Somehow very active interfaith dialogue should be there.
Consider a - post by Madman. He wants people only to be expected to be tolerant, they can be disrespectful, contemptuous and hateful. I think such attitudes are not going to help, and will only widen the existing polarization. The more religious sentiments are hurt, the more the number of people doing these things; I doubt if law being effective alone can help it. And there is no reason to assume the law will be effective either.
Frog,
Terrorism will be too strong a word for it, but it is idiocy all right.
Actually I have read the Madman's post earlier
While Madman's post is a good arguement, problem is that it can work only if 100% people agree on this.

"... Although no one knew about the existence of the Board until Wednesday, its president Ashok Pandey, an Allahabad High Court lawyer, claimed the body was 3,500-member strong and the decision was taken at a board meeting. (link
Also, the guy who made the statement, Ashok Pandey is lawyer of Mulayam Singh and is the guy who tried to file a case against Sonia Gandhi on behalf of Mulayam in the phone tapping case.

Thus I am inclined to agree with my friend
Thanks and regards.
Sorry, this was the link referred to.
I have a feeling it was meant as a hilarious take on the fatwa. Does anyone have anything else on this that shows they actually meant it?
Anon,
Well it might have been.
But I still think it was a case of clinical insanity.
