MF made those jokes and for that he should have been punished legally. He was wrong and people should have accepted that fact instead of supporting him.
Those sentiments by which Hindus got hurt through MF's joke and Muslims got hurt by NS's statement. Both were wrong but people have no right to punish them. Courts are there to take right decision.
Burning cities, throwing stones, destroying houses, killing people and this sar tan se juda slogan all these things are making situation worse. It should not happen at all.
No. He should not have been punished. This is the argument put forth by all extremists. Oh, let's make all blasphemy illegal. Nope. Ridicule of religious figures, all the way up to God, should be 100% legal.
Protecting God and religious figures is not really about them. It's about exercising power over what others may say, think, eat, dress, etc.
