Have you actually read the thread on PDF about the ban of beef eating in India? There are still a lot of idiots in India who would like to enforce their views on others just like your country. However there is still a very large, very vocal group of people who live without the fear of things...
I think it is totally the opposite. If these religious scholars were actually smarter then atheists there wouldn't be any need for blasphemy laws now, would there?
This raises an interesting question. All prophets who establish a new religion start the new religion by committing acts of apostasy. So, by committing acts of apostasy, you can claim that you are following the path of your prophet.
The museums are free to visit. Both the British Museum and Natural History Museum are awesome.
You can purchase multi attraction tickets for the London Eye, Madam Tussads(Top attraction for Indians, I wasn't too impressed), London Aquarium and London Dungeons.

Most people here are not arguing that the book is right or wrong. We are arguing for the author's right to live and express himself without the threat of violence.
Unfortunately some Muslims have taken it upon themselves to protect their religion by killing everyone who doesn't agree with...
Even in the minority of one, the truth is still the truth. - Gandhi
Just because you have millions of people wanting to persecute him, it doesn't make it right.
Way to go. It is important for society to show that we will not be cowed down by threats of violence.
I am going off to buy a copy of the satanic verses for myself.

It seems that there are a lot of victims of the overzealous child protection service in Norway. I found this page through a simple google search
Home - Save our children and families from Child Protection in Norway
Norway places a disproportionately large number of its children in foster care.
The same country also produced Brevik.
Norway may be a prosperous, peaceful, first world country but by no means do they have every thing sorted out. People in Norway are as capable of screwing up as people anywhere else in the world.
Hah. The media tried hard to create a controversy. I kept reading about one news article after another in the TOI which talked about the British insulting great mother India. These busy bodies have no other work. I was in India when this episode was aired and I did not see any one getting hot...
I suspect we don't have the complete picture here.
For those who say their country their rules. Can you please point out these stupid rules you are talking about in the rule book.
What persecution are you talking about?
All this proves that there are still a few idiots left in India. Idiots who were hounded out and evidence against them handed over to the police. There are idiots all over the world.
They did grab eyeballs with their protest though.
Why is the Indian embassy indulging in morality judgements anyways? Don't we have enough self styled moral guardians roaming the streets of India already?
Isn't worship all in the mind? Just performing the exercises should not count as worship.
These fatwas have no legal sanction. Sane Muslims will ignore this fatwa like the others and continue to perform these exercises if they see it as a way to stay fit.
Waiting to see the day they have a...
