 About 100 protesters, including three lawmakers, from the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen party burst in, shouting that the author was "anti-Islam". Ms Nasreen backed into a corner as objects rained down and she was threatened with a chair, witnesses said. One witness said Ms Nasreen was slapped. She was protected by others at the meeting and was later taken to safety by police. Officers detained the three lawmakers and a number of other protesters. Ahmad Pasha Quadri, one of the lawmakers, said: "Our protest is against Taslima Nasreen because of her writings ridiculing Islam. We want the Indian government to send her back to Bangladesh." [link]This was actually far more serious than it reads. Tasleema later said "they [the Muslim mob] wanted to kill me". Only headlines from western news sources such as Reuters, Voice of America, Washington Post etc. (and surpsigingly some from Malaysia and Gulf too) had the word "Muslims" in them. Most Indian headlines read: Tasleema heckled, Tasleema roughed up etc. In the aftermath of the attack Tasleema was packed off back to Calcutta. She is not entirely safe over there, see this flashback from a while ago. It is not clear if the PM will be able to sleep tonight. Let us remind our readers that Tasleema's repeated appeals for an Indian citizenship are ignored by our Government (the same Government which was demanding an Australian visa for alleged terrorist Haneef merely a week ago). Tasleema also said that, "Such people [meaning the attackers] people are a minority in India." Think she was being facetious?
