Controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, who is in hiding in India after protests by Muslims, must apologise for her “anti-Islamic” writings, a prominent Indian Muslim cleric said Monday. Indian Muslims will “not tolerate the infamous authoress Taslima Nasreen on the Indian soil” unless she apologised, Syed Ahmed Bukhari, chief cleric of New Delhi’s 17th-century Jama Masjid mosque, said in a statement. “India is a democratic nation and the constitution here neither does permit any citizen nor allow any foreign national to be irreverent to the tenets of any religion,” the cleric said. “The entire responsibility of the consequences shall rest upon the government of India,” Bukhari warned.| "Not on us Muslims, since everyone knows we can't control myself... I mean ourselves." |
