Salman Khan booked for 'insulting' religion.

Just goes to show how touchy minorities are ...Either way Salman Khan seems to be perpetually in the news for all the wrong reasons and it also reflects the attitude of our society, because he is the most popular actor according to web statistics !

It is difficult to say when you cause offense to religion. Obviously, Salman Khan could also not. Depiction of religious concept of paradise and hell landed him in trouble.

I don't think it makes any difference for Salman Mian. In fact it's an intentional move by the actor. He's a firm believer in using controversies as his tool to be in the limelight. In the meantime, Music director A.R. Rehman also sent a legal notice to Salman in the context of Jay Ho movie. Salman must be very happy now.

It is abt. Jannat and Jahannum, and the concept is created by Big Boss producers, but they threw case against anchor, and Ar Rahman sent legal notice to him for using theme music of Jay ho. I do not know what is said about it, what can we say, about this but it seems the petitioner thinks it is hurting his religion and he has right to go to court and court then can decide.

Yes. It's only after investigation one can know under what conditions Salman insulted the religion.

This entire show is a big sham and promotes nothing constructive except for ridiculous behavior, adultery etc. It should actually be ignored by everyone, even the people who have sued the show for using specific terms, I don't think any religion is that fragile enough that it can be hurt by mere use of specific terms in such shows!

Not only Salman Khan but also Shah Rukh Khan neither respect other religion nor the country, India.
They are many a times banned and offended for insulting.

Their statements are nothing but pre-scripted dramas to draw the attention of the viewers. They are cheap gimmicks . They need not be taken seriously.

Actually such acts or statements can only defame a celebrity rather than attract their fans. Many youngsters would follow them and they won't respect their nation. Such celebrities should be either banned or punished severely. This is a crime.

I wonder why religious sentiments are hurt so easily. If you dispute some economic theory, nobody's sentiment is hurt. If you criticize Einstein's theory, no sentiment is hurt. Even if you say two plus two make five, mathematician's feelings are not hurt. In fact, what is false and irrational always gets hurt.

I totally agree with you, the people they get together are controversial and they create situations where they lose their cool and then a big thing is made of it, the whole thing is sickening ! You wonder what depths our TV shows have touched.There is no taste nor is there any entertainment value in watching people in their private moments...The high TRPs these shows generate shows what the public likes ! having said that, if you give junk people will accept junk but on the other hand if you provide quality they will accept that too...

Belief plays a pivotal role in both religion and science . While belief in religion is due to lack of logic and rationality, belief in science is based on logic and rationality. They can be proved . Whereas,religion's veracity cannot be proved because it lacks logic and rationality. Owing to this reason sentiments of religious believers get hurt.

Now Aijyaz commented on BJP PM candidate Modi and case was registered against him, sometimes, it is essential not to cross the limit of boundary as once Ravan in mythological era crossed Laxman Rekha and ultimately it spelled doom for his kingdom.

Exactly! And one thing everyone forgets is that most religions be it, Hindu, Islam, Christianity etc. are very old religions and have survived all travesties of fate and still remain alive with enormous numbers of followers in each religion! How can any of these or other religions be hurt in any manner by such trivial things? If people of respective religions claim that their sentiments have been hurt due to such situations, then I think they themselves have very little faith in their own religion!

I think it is the society and the politicians who whip up religious sentiments so that they can make some gains...Otherwise , what is wrong in criticising religion and religious practices? People do have the right to do so and sometimes it may not be lijed by the others! Hinduism gets criticied s much by its own followers but one cannot book people each time they open their mouth !

True...actually all religions preach tolerance towards their own religion as well as other religions. It also is necessary to accept criticism in a healthy manner and there are some examples who indeed exhibit tolerance to criticism from others. But it is the politicians in India who have used religion as means of attracting voters and also as a two-edged weapon, wielding it as per their own convenience!
