The Jammu and Kashmir police Saturday, June 11 arrested the Kashmir-based Youtuber Faisal Wani, who had digitally recreated the act of beheading the former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma
While Islamists in India seemed overjoyed that Arabs have come to their support against Nupur Sharma, there are bigger implications of the way this issue has played out.
Although it has been 2 weeks since former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma made statements about Prophet Muhammad and then apologised and retracted, the death threats issued by Islamists seem to have no end
Wani claimed, "I have said in my earlier videos that my intention is never to hurt religious sentiments. Because our religion (Islam) teaches us tolerance."
The effigy is not real, not an actual person. But while we stare at it, thousands of people are running wild all over India, declaring that they want the real Nupur Sharma hanged, beheaded and brutalised.
