To Goanet - I have no issues whatsoever with MF Hussein or anyone else doing erotic and even vulgar paintings of Hindu gods and goddesses. Yes, some of the depiction may offend me, but a mature, civilized society ought to be able to absorb slights to its cherished beliefs, and offer its members freedom of expression without fear. I wish Hindus would show such maturity even in the face of extreme provocation.
My problem with the Husseins and his vociferous defenders is entirely different. It is that they are pusillanimous hypocrites. Hussein wouldn't dare sketch a portrait of Allah or Prophet Mohammed for he well knows the outcome of such indulgence, and the prospect of a missing body part or a bomb going off under his feet is not one he would find pleasant to contemplate.
