They form a lethal combination, capable of thwarting justice. That is why one should be constantly on the guard against both. Cheers, Santosh

Most countries have laws to prosecute people who cause physical harm to others for whatever reason. Fundamentalists and political activists who cause harm to the reputation of others because of religious outrage and self-righteousness, can be sued for libel. Cheers, Santosh

There are many harmful religious practices that need to be questioned. People should have the freedom to criticize these practices. People should be free to perform historical research on religious figures and ideas in an objective and dispassionate manner, and publish this research without fear. People should also have the freedom to write fictional stories involving religious themes. Nobody should fear any kind of retribution from any spooky domain. Religious fundamentalists who choose to cause physical harm to such individuals should be prosecuted. Cheers, Santosh
