Everyone has condemned attack on Salman Rushdie and attacks on Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan in recent years.
Every single person.
I never said both religions are equal. I said violence and vigilantism by fanatics of any community is called out openly.
Remember how everyone had condemned attack on a cop in Punjab and chopping off his wrist by a religious fanatic in 2020? Bollywood stars had also condemned it.
Right now all are condemning threats to JK Rowling for supporting Salman Rushdie.
Attacks like Pulwama, France attack etc were also condemned by all. So were lynchings in name of blasphemy in Pak.
that is my point,all these akhtars and naseeruddins (pretending to be secular or atheist but actually being sth else) criticize both religions in same manner,they try to draw out an equivalence that both religions are equally intolerant or violent or barbaric.While in reality there is no comparison.None.
ETA - Actually sometimes they don't even go for equivalence,they simply try to show that hindus are more intolerant;which is why naseeruddin shah talked about cow vigilantism in the video I posted and tried to deny the truth of hindus who were beheaded over comments on prophet.Anybody not ignorant knows that cases of beheading have been a lot more than cases of cow vigilantism.Not only beheading over comments,hindus have to face every kind of violence;be it rapes,deaths in WB over supporting BJP,be it multiple exodus in kashmir,be it kidnapping and rape,forced marriage of minors in sindh.All these kind of cases have been more than that of cow vigilantism,yet the likes of naseeruddin either deny they happened or don't mention them at all
