Personally, I dont support such display, which no doubt is offensive to Christians. But more importantly, Hindus and others should learn to effectively protest when similar attacks happen on their respected figures.[right][snapback]66403[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Yes, it is rather offensive. Even I winced at it. But I can steel myself. I must learn to be past the point of caring about their sensibilities, because they have never shown any respect for ours. Rather the very opposite, having trampled all over it by making equally offensive depictions either in word or in image of our cherished beliefs, traditions and deities.
We must learn to show respect where respect has been consistently given and ignore other cases. There has been none worthwhile from the christoislamic quarter, except the occasional heretic christian or borderline-kafir muslim who extended their sympathies.
Let the christians fight their own battles. I care nothing for jeebus anyway.
How western people depict their (formerly) adopted deity jeebus is of no concern to me. If it offends christo sensibilities, it's still of no matter to me - I didn't make the offending article.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->One such case in point is MF Hussain's paintings, in which he has repeatedly displayed Hindu icons of respect like Bharatmata, Durga, Saraswati, Sita, Lakshmi, Durga, Draupadi etc naked. Those who consider these artistic should remember he has portayed Mother Teresa too, but with complete clothing, and he has never portayed any Muslim figures such as Ayesha or even Muhammed himself, or Mariyam/Mary etc.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Now see, this is a case of an islamoterrorist making vile representations of our Gods. This is a major point of variance with the chocolate jeebus incident above. That wasn't made by muslims or anything, but apparently by christians themselves for "the holy week".
Also, the pseculars and other christians in India commented how Hindus were 'making a scene' by protesting against Hussein's garbage. Let's hope they don't show themselves to be hypocrites as they always do by 'making a scene' themselves. But I think it's too late for that.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Also to remember is, instead of opposing such a criminal (Hussein), whom even Delhi High Court has sent notices of offense, Mumbai police has purchased his paintings and these proudly grace the reception of Maharashtra Police HQ in Mumbai.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Add to it that the usual psecular villains are agitating for MF Hussein to receive the Bharat Ratna award for his offenses heaped against Hindu deities - they have petitioned the much put-upon President Abdul Kalam about it.
If Hussein ever gets it, and he could what with christos and other pseculars in charge of the country, I hope they will posthumously take away the award from M.S. Subbulakshmi (and other Hindus) who I am certain would not have wished to share it with such a character as Hussein.
