Taslima Nasreen is a beacon of light in the free world, akin to Salman Rushdie. The incessant persecution faced by her in the Islamic world is really a shame to free speech. One particular statement
shows her perspective of humanity against religion. May god keep you safe from harm, TaslimaMy view on this issue is clear and categorical. I hold the Koran, the Vedas, the Bible and all such religious texts determining the lives of their followers as out of place and out of time. We have socio-historical contexts in which these were written and therefore we should not be guided by their precepts. We have to move beyond these ancient texts if we have to make progress. In order top respond to our spiritual let humanism be our new faith.
