If M.F.Hussain has painted Hindu Deities nude, it simply means that he has abused Muslims as well.... He do not have respect for Nature also.. This is true to Islam.. Because Islam is one religion that do not teach respect, other than to Allah..
But a million dollar question:

Why is Ghost a superstition? Because it cannot be seen.
Who has seen God then? Why isn't God a bigger superstition?

And if there is only one GOD, why is Islam fearful that Hindus are worshiping other Gods.
If there are other GODs like Satan, why don't Allah settle down the other GODs first. Why is he so powerless that he asks his blind followers to kill the followers of other GODs.
Stupid concepts in Islam... must be challenged by their own people, if they are not dumb..

It is outrageous.Only Hindus can tolerate such insult of their religion and culture.Can anybody even think of a reverse situation a Hindu doing such thing to Islam? Will anybody on earth tolerate it?

Shivam,
I hope you would agree that despite many protests Hussain continued to paint
obscene paintings of Hindu Gods.

Once he may have erred,but to continue doing may also be hurting many.

I hope you agree.
