[On reading that Taslima was attacked in Hyderabad by Muslims for criticizing Islam.]
Truth does not need to be defended. The greatest truth is that we are God, as expounded in the Advaitic vision. There has never been any history of anyone dying or killing to protect or spread this vision. On the other hand, Islam, which is an idolatrous religion par excellence as it seeks to place Allah on a pedestal never to be questioned but only followed slave-like, would naturally go to war to protect its God. Because unlike Hindu idol worshippers, the Muslims believe their single idol Allah created them (and everything else). The Hindu idol worshipers know they created the idols in order to discover God within themselves. Therefore expect Muslim intolerance and violence in the name of Allah to continue unabated so long as there are people who believe that Islam is a stunted religion.
