[Reader-list] Fwd: Temples Of Mirpur

[Sanjay Kak]

The calls to "kill" and "wipe-out" in Vedavati Jogis' response are as clear
an incitement to violence as you will see. (Even when applied to people who
"speak against India", whatever that means...)
Although I doubt that many on this list are going to be provoked to follow
the exhortations, I do think this is a moment for the moderators to run a
quick check on what constitutes the outer limits of free speech (and
fearless listening!) in this forum.

I wonder if this kind of statement in a public or semi-public forum like
Sarai might appear as an incitement to violence in the eyes of the law.
