Update on Author Nasrin Taslima

Images from Zaneirani: These images were sent to me (Sheema) by a friend of mine. The friend is in fact the person who had translated my poems from English to Malayalam some three years ago.

Open Savagery

From Isaac:

Taslima Nasreen is one of the twelve writers who signed the Manifesto Against Islamic Totalitarianism in response to the Muhammad Cartoons. She is an exiled Bangladeshi ex-Muslim. Recently, she was attacked by Muslim members of the Indian senate. Oh, how brave of them! Fortunately, journalists protected her from the assault and got the whole thing on video.
These thugs are unabashedly proud of their behavior. Around 01:10 in the clip, many of them are shouting in public, "Taslima Nasreen murdabad" which peacefully translates to "Death to Taslima Nasreen".

Kudos to that courageous Indian Journalist who shut the video.
