meanwhile, RoP (do you remember one obnoxious padre named archbishop nikon -- not to be confused with the japanese camera maker -- ranting against hindus before?) wants to ban the gita.

and the indian government's response? nada. zip. nothing. and how about those who screamed about mfhussain's 'freedom of whatever' or about rushdie's book? nothing.

now if the russians were to ban the koran, though, manmohan "first right to resources" singh would have sleepless nights, guaranteed.

and have the russian RoP people looked at their book in any detail? it's all about "kill, kill, kill". see http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/

ok, i exaggerate. there is occasionally something about pedophilia, rape, and other such fun stuff. here's the proposed logo for the padres 'saving' little kids.
