Inaugurating a book titled Islam and Taslima Nasreen, by Professor Syed Manal Shah Alquadri, chair professor of Islamic Culture, University of Calcutta, at the press club, Ray suggested that Taslima show some repentance by
expurgating similar passages (as in her controversial book) in other books also. “She should state she had no intention of hurting anyone’s feelings and that she regrets her actions. She should also promise not to write anything offensive as long as she is in India and not permit the publishing of such works here in future,” Ray stated.
He said while Taslima can enjoy human rights, she is not entitled to enjoy fundamental rights - that includes freedom of expression as bestowed by the Indian Constitution - simply because she is not an Indian citizen.
Talking to the press at the book release, Alquadri said the book intends to clear misconceptions about Islam allegedly being propagated by Taslima in her writings.

RatingI lived in several continents and I will tell you there is no misconception about Islam anywhere in the world. If you are born into it, you simply do not have any choice. But if you are not, you should simply stay away from this religion as far away as you can. Once in Agra Fort, I realized the true essence of this religion when my tour guide was showing us the quarters where Bandis, mostly kidnapped Hindu women, used to kept and the pit where they were thrown when they became old as well as the Mina bazaar. It is a religion for men and women are for physical exploitation and oppression.Siddhartha Shankar is a failed politician and trying to get some publicity by trashing Taslima Nasreen. He should be ashamed of himself once more.
