Any one who is stupid enough in this day and age to think that islam is a good philosophical and cultural framework and voluntarily chooses it is a moron. why should any one care if that person thinks that a din founded by an illiterate murdering warlord, who was also a pedophile is what he'd like to join. My issue will be with those who would take away any ones freedom to write a book,(even translate it), or make a cartoon, say what they think of islam. So this is where I do see the point that shourie is making when he asks Hussain to paint a muslim cultural icon. He is harping at the differences in reaction that would generate. Rishi,

Conversions - Conversions are an individual issue. Each and every one of us should have the freedom to choose the religion he wants to be in. 2. M.F. Hussain - Mr Shourie asks Mr Hussain to paint faces of muslim cultural icons. Whether he wishes to or not is a matter of his personal choice. However there should not be anything stopping any other artist from making such paintings. We are moving too far down the road of competitive intolerance. Finally at the end, he mentions something that makes sense. >>"Why is stoking Muslims ‘secular’ and stoking Hindus ‘communal’?" Why indeed..
