I'm sorry to say that your argument has no validity. Firstly, you advocate illegal immigration. I wonder who taught you that this was a legitimate demand. So, do you advocate that the US must open its borders just because poor people from other countries can fill their stomach? Utter nonsense.
Secondly, there is a difference between M.F.Hussain and Taslima. Taslima wrote about religious persecution of minorities in Bangladesh. She wrote about the evils in Islam (like sati or the caste system in Hinduism) - it was more like starting a dialogue. She did not insult the religion (and in any case, she has clearly denied having made any statements that she supposedly said). Mr.M.F.Hussain would have been praised if he chose to paint the sufferings of people in Hindu society due to the prevelant evil practices. Instead, he chose to paint Hindu Godesses in the nude. Had he had the courage to paint the Prophet Mohammed or Jesus Christ in the same way, we could appreciate his sense of art. But by delibarately showing only Hindu Godesses in the nude, it smells of ulterior motives. (For example, why draw a nude Hindu along with a fully dressed Muslim with a dagger? - Yes, check his paintings). So, there is a huge difference. Do not compare Taslima's case with M.F.Hussain's.
You either do not know the issue about both these people or you pretend not to know. If it is the former, I hope I've helped you differentiate. If it is the latter, you can go ahead with your meaningless rhetoric as it is impossible to wake up a person who pretends to be sleeping.
