Sugata Bose @Debankur Mukherjee : True. Which is why freedom of speech is a must for a civilised society. The Constitution of India, though, puts restrictions on this right in order to maintain communal harmony which it deems is a necessity given the historical clashes that have been owing to apparently inflammatory literary expression as in the derogatory depiction of Mother Seeta in the pamphlet 'Sitaka Chhinālā' by Muslims and the subsequent publication of the 'Rangeela Rasool' book by way of response, both incidents inflaming inter-religious passions leading to violence and death.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [The Free Press] : Jihad is not just fundamental to the Taliban world view, it is fundamental to the Islamic world view as per the dictates of the Qur'an and the Sahih Hadees. Jihad is mandatory in Islam, that too of one's own volition with enthusiasm and participatory enterprise. Anyone who passively submits to being a jihadist is deemed a Munafiq or a hypocrite who in the eyes of Allah is the worst offender to be cast into Jahannum where his flesh will fuel the infernal fire. Jihad is the core of Islam which, being the religiopolitical system that it is, mandates it to bring the infidel world to its fold or hold it in servitude as dhimmi (zimmi). There is nothing called radical Islam. Islam itself is wholesale a radical political system, a Deen whose determination is to dominate the world through forced conversion if need be, massacre in case of resistance and impose the Sharia by way of final earthly settlement of Allah's servants (bandā) and the kuffār (infidels).

The ex-Muslim interviewee has made an error in calling ones's personal struggle to overcome internal weaknesses as the lesser jihad where it is just the opposite in Islamic theology. The internal struggle is the greater jihad and the warring jihad with arms against the external enemy is the lesser jihad as per scriptural definition. A point to be noted. But in real terms history testifies that it is the lesser jihad of warfare that is the greater jihad in terms of destructive potency. So, on that count the interviewee may have been confused.

Sugata Bose @Barbados Cricket  Association : He (Garry Sobers) cannot rest in eternal peace. If his desires have not been extinguished, he will have to be reborn to continue his onward evolution to perfect freedom whence birth will be no more and peace that passeth understanding will prevail. 🕉
