Unfortunately those that bastardize Islam will not see it that way. Had they ever bothered to actually study that "hadith" they would know that.

I like it. Now if the entire country would do this it would be a step in the right direction. There is no reall love lost amongst the Hindus and the Muslims here.

This is quite brave, and definitely a step forward, though based on the experience of Rushdie and others, these two Islamic scholars, may want to invest in bulletproof Kurta's....
