Spare the 'sinners'!

As a columnist I have a marked distaste for back-to-back sequels. But with bouquets and brickbats flying thick and fast over last week's article on religious conversions, the Pandora's box will perforce have to remain open this week too.
I am grateful for the bouquets but the brickbats will naturally merit most attention.The reactions on that count vary from the extremely violent to soft censure to righteous indignation.For some I dont have answers and rue my limitations. Yet, that does not in anyway dilute the basic assertions: Conversions are a mass endeavour, all denominations indulge in them with varying degrees of success, the convertors derive divine sanction on the basis of a superior god and a super salvation, huge funds that can pale MNCs are at their disposal and the methods are by no means fair and by all means foul. And the unkindest cut comes when the predators in search of prey preach from the pulpit, delivering secular sermons to the truly tolerant. For, if the 'targets' were communal they would have given the boot to the evangelists who claim an exclusive franchise to faith and God, long before the Bajrang Dals were even born. If saying this is to fuel 'communal fires', well, the original sin of starting it all, at least, does not lie with me. Now over to the devil's advocate.

The Indian ELM is working overtime to portray hindus as evil blood thirsty monsters.
The above is a link to cnn ibn documentary on hindu terrorists
Since slurdesais to mmsinghs & vatican are so anguished about alleged rapes & gangrapes why not focus on the stinking track record of dmk founder karunanidi , his son stalin and so on?
The word gangrape actually suits them the most.
The cloyingly conscientious ndtv ought to focus on the "accidents" of Rajesh Pilot , MScindia first.
