Muslims Attack Feminist Author Taslima Nasreen

(Hyderabad, India) Muslims hate Bangladeshi author and feminist Taslima Nasreen for her criticism of Islam. They have promised to behead Nasreen because she writes about how Islam and other religions oppress women.

Of course, another viewpoint is that Nasreen is only the messenger and Muslims actually hate the truth.

On Thursday, lawmakers and members of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen party attacked her at the press club in Hyderabad at the launch of a Telugu translation of one of her novels.

An uneasy-looking Nasreen backed into a corner as several middle-aged men threw a leather case, bunches of flowers and other objects at her head and threatened her with a chair, according to a Reuters witness and television pictures.

Some of the mob shouted for her death.

Other men tried to shield her and catch the projectiles. She ended up with a bruised forehead, and described the attack as barbaric before being taken to safety by police.

Evidently the followers of the religion of peace have transcended the discussion stage of the debate over women's rights. Apparently, there is no argument. There is only a desire to kill those who disagree.
