[Pursuant to attack on Taslima]
The essence of Islam is not just faith, but its establishment as the chosen religion for mankind. This alone explains its determination to silence opposition. Christianity was in the same league, but Christians, awakened by the forces of secularism and democracy, have by and large reduced the Church's role to just ministering the flock and not as an arbiter of mankind's destiny. Since the Muslims do not have a church but only loose cannon Mullahs, there is a need to sober them to reality. Appeasing them, as secularism in India tends to do, would not sober the Mullahs. Only a zero-tolerance approach to fanaticism would do it. Would India rise to the occasion?
