The last part is a common knowledge. Don’t worry.

It's okay to kill Muslims - this much is known and established. Actually, we could also add Sikhs and Dalits too if the situation demands it.

Few months back, in a similar fashion a Hindu Don was encountered by the UP cops. All Hindus still supported the cops. For people like you, if the person is a Muslim irrespective of whether he is a terrorist, serial murderer he should be supported at any cost.

And don’t club Sikhs and Dalit among yourself to look good. They have a far larger contribution to society and don’t cry victimhood at any given opportunity.

No, I mean people with loads of common sense who can tell you both side of the story. >> Not Indian Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Dalits or Shudras who form greater than 50% of the Indian population. Acc to you, if they are more than 50% AND not happy with Modi, why is Modi winning back to back elections and almost certain to come to power again in 2024?

You only need 35% to win in Indias multiparty elections. Additionally, Muslims in Gujarat and UP have been coerced into voting for BJP candidate by threatening them with shut down of municipal services when BJP wins. This is enabled because EVMs report summary statistics from each location which the government employees have access to.

>> You only need 35% to win in Indias multiparty elections.That reinforces my point.

>>This is enabled because EVMsThis EVM story has been peddled by your ilk ad-infinitum but with no substance.

If that were the case, BJP should be winning all state elections right? Delhi, WestBengal, Rajasthan…

So as and when party of your choice win, EVMs are good when opposition party wins , oh they are manipulated.

>> They are trying to say whatever happened is her fault and not the consequence of a social media influencer framingThat’s their tried and tested modus-operandi. You check any major terror incidents in India or abroad, Islamists use the same playbook.

If they are mocking someone’s religion it is their “freedom of speech” , if it is the opposite, Charlie Hebdo or Nupur Sharma will be done to you.

Don't put words in my mouth. The murder is not justified and the perpetrators deserve the appropriate penalties. As the Supreme Court explained, Nupur Sharma made the incendiary statements that incited the murder. Nobody here has claimed that Sharma deserves to die for her rhetoric. Sharma knew her comments were provocative and much more than "quoting a hadith", which is why she issued her apology after she was suspe…

She literally quoted a Hadith. What is "incendiary" according to you is her tone of quotation. As if people don't quote nonsense from other religions in a non-reverential but mocking manner. Is Islam so fragile that Muslims get provoked by "quoting a hadith"? I am incapable of putting words into your mouth, you are just taking hilariously diametrically opposite positions in the same conversation. She apologised after…

Please be flexible, please think of Khalistani Sikhs and reservation grabbing Dalits demanding protection from racism in California.

There is no hadith with the negative phrasing Nupur Sharma used in her comments. As a politician in a country with religious tension, Sharma knew that her incendiary comments would inflame this tension.

The Supreme Court correctly assessed Sharma's comments as irresponsible and inflammatory, which even your LiveLaw link affirms:

> On July 1, a vacation bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala refused to entertain Sharma's petition. During the hearing, the bench made strong oral comments against Sharma, saying that she was "singlehandedly responsible for what is happening in the country". The bench said that being a spokesperson of a political party is not a license to make irresponsible comments. The bench had also said that the petition "smacks of arrogance that the Magistrates of the country are too small for her", and added that she should avail alternate remedies than approaching the Supreme Court. Following the critical remarks of the bench, Sharma's lawyer chose to withdraw the petition.

The fact that Sharma made incendiary comments does not justify any threat of violence against her. However, as a politician, she should have known better than to inflame the people she is assigned to serve. The BJP removed her from her position because her behavior made her unsuitable for representing the party.

Your accusation that I am "supporting Islamic barbarism" is unjustified and also against the HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Criticizing a politician for making incendiary statements is not the same thing as "supporting Islamic barbarism".

Ain't no Pakistanis sponsoring Khalistanis in Canada. You forgot the Dalits and missionary Christians.
