Alibaba tries to summarise the situation after a lousy cleric, the kind media loves, called for beheading Taslima. He reports:

“Unnecessary edicts increase friction in society and people of other religions start treating Islam as a barbaric religion,� Mufti Arif, who sits on the board of the fatwa committee of Dar-ul Uloom, said. At the same time Arif backed Khan’s call for 45-year-old Nasreen’s expulsion from India, where she is seeking permanent residence or citizenship.

Eteraz takes yet another perspective.
