M F Husain booked for his paintings of nude gods

Several right wing Hindu
organisations have raised a cry against Husain's series of paintings
depicting Hindu gods and goddesses in the nude.

ADILABAD: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Hindu Samaj Utsav
Samiti (HSUS), Adilabad, threatened to launch protests if noted painter
M.F. Hussain was not arrested and the Padmashri and Padmabhushan awards
were not withdrawn immediately. Their other demand was to declare him a
'traitor' as he had painted Bharat Mata in the nude. The Hindu
organisations said that the painter had once again denigrated Hindu
gods and goddesses by painting them in the nude.

As i was reading these articles , i thought people are blashphemous all
the time !! Whether its towards Hinduism , Islam, Christians , Buddhism.
The West and the Islamic Countries like Saudi Arabia , Iran , Syria have openly shown Blashphemy more than once .
I personally am against any kind of Blashphemy , and condone such
incidents . But i also condone violence in the name of religon in every
circumstance .
I am personally glad that this M.F.Hussain did not snow ball into an
international incident or an incident where the whole Muslim community was
blamed due to Mr.Hussains insenstive blashphemous paintings .
Also the Hindu community has been
mocked regulary by the West , but Hindus have shown nothing but
tolerance !! Is this acceptable ?????????
