That Salman Rushdie's visit to the Jaipur Literary Festival was cancelled is old news. That even his video conference during the festival was called of is old news. The important question is: What are the defenders of Free Speech doing?
All the self-appointed defenders of free-speech, especially those who are most vocal about displaying Mo**er Fu**er Huss** paintings, have dug their faces up their backsides and are keeping mum and their mouths in their own bums. What does the impotent media say? Anger, dismay over Salman Rushdie gag. And the reason? This:
In the courtyard, a group of young men had just finished offering namaz. "Rivers of blood will flow here if they show Rushdie," said one. Muslim Manch representative Abdul Salim Sankhla told TOI, "We will not allow Rushdie in any form. There will be violent protests if he speaks."
What does that Son of a Bit** His-Storian William Darlymple, one of the co-organizers, say? No Indian politician was willing to welcome Rushdie: Dalrymple. Bloody Fool.
Recall what Sir Vidiadhar S Naipaul remarked in his famous interview An area of Awakening:
However, we are aware of one of the more cynical forms of liberalism: it admits that one fundamentalism is all right in the world. This is the fundamentalism they are really frightened of: Islamic fundamentalism.
This reminds us of the Rivers of Blood Speech by Enoch Powell in a different setting but similar context.
We quote from the wikipedia article:
Powell recounted a conversation with one of his constituents, a middle-aged working man, a few weeks earlier. Powell said that the man told him: "If I had the money to go, I wouldn't stay in this country… I have three children, all of them been through grammar school and two of them married now, with family. I shalln't be satisfied till I have seen them all settled overseas." The man finished by saying to Powell: "In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man." Powell went on:
Here is a decent, ordinary fellow-Englishman, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that the country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking – not throughout Great Britain, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of English history.
Powell quoted a letter he received from a woman in Northumberland, about an elderly woman living in a Wolverhampton street where she was the only white resident. The elderly woman had lost her husband and her two sons in World War II and had rented out the rooms in her house. Once immigrants had moved into the street she was living in, her white lodgers left. Two black men had knocked on her door at 7 am to use her telephone to call their employers, but she refused, as she would have done to any other stranger knocking at her door at such an hour, and was subsequently verbally abused. She had asked her local authority for a rates reduction, but was told by a council officer to let out the rooms of her house. When the woman said the only tenants would be black, the council officer replied: "Racial prejudice won't get you anywhere in this country." The next part of the letter that Powell quoted went:
We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried persons to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancées whom they have never seen.
Mark the parts:

How many Hindus, if they can afford it, think that this country will be worth living in for their children? And what will those Hindus, who can not afford, do for their children? Teach them how to offer Namaz? Phew!
We must realize and act RIGHT NOW. Muslims do not belong to non-Muslim societies. If we Hindus want to remain Hindus and keep our nation safe for our children, we must ACT now.
Subramanian Swamy suggests a small step in this direction. Only those who proudly accept that their ancestors were Hindus can be assimilated in the Brihad Hindu Samaj. The rest must be dis-enfranchised. However, we think his solution is too mild and will be ineffective. Given the injunction of dissimulation (deceitful behavior) Taqiyya to be practiced against the infidel (non-Muslims). We can never be sure about Muslims taking any such oaths.
In our opinion, there is only one solution:
Muslims must be given two options. Muslims wanting to stay in India must quit Islam, or they must go to Pakistan. Seculars can also leave with such Muslims and go and stay with them in Pakistan with the practitioners of the Religion of Peace.
We don't want to prepare our children to pray facing westwards! And therefore we must ACT. Hindus must unite for their own safety and then prosperity.
