India to charge writer Nasreen with 'hurting Muslim feelings'

.

Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen will face criminal charges in India after being accused of stirring up religious enmity.

The charges come after Nasreen was attacked at a publication party because of opposition to a translation of her latest book, Shodh, in Hyderabad last week. Several lawmakers and members of a conservative Muslim political party threw flowers and other items at her and called for her death.

.

Under Indian law, promoting "disharmony or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill will" between religious groups is punishable by up to three years in jail.

.

So several members threw things at HER and attacked HER and SHE will be facing charges? In the worst of cases shouldn't THEY face the same charges as well for displaying the feelings of enmity, hatred and ill will and causing disharmony and disrupting a book signing event?

.

And last I heard Taslima was Muslim too, so where did this "between religious groupS" come from?
