1. No fury, blind or otherwise. Both are...F&F:<br /><br />1. No fury, blind or otherwise. Both are about exposure and my counter-query is about putting the other side too on the mat. The Hindutva-Modi reference was specifically about pandering that secularists are accused of, erring on one side.<br /><br />2. This Muslim girl is playing the stereotype. Even Mallika Sherawat used to say she was protesting against stifling rules. Obviously it is against culture. Or do only Muslims do the culture thingy?<br /><br />3. This girl's parents, specifically her non-bearded mother, is upset. They happen to be Muslim. And please, I have already given examples of how certain Hindutva groups act as moral police. <br /><br />4. How many Hindu groups came out to support Poonam Pandey's freedom of choice? Why should anyone voice support just like that? She did what she wanted to and that's where it ends. Naked bodies don't have a religion though you can worship them. <br /><br />5. There are Muslim societies that might create walls. But why do Hindus go to Saudi Arabia to work? And Hndu society is not uniform. Some don't have walls, but that does not stop them from building fences. <br /><br />Anyhow, if one Turkish Muslim woman has made some Hindu men happy then I should imagine that this is the new secular. Ergo, my "confusing" the issue was justified. <br /><br />The Turkish towel was not meant to be a wet blanket, anyway.FVnoreply@blogger.com
