Indian thugs shot at Muslims protesting an insult to Mohammed.

Those protesters had a right to protest; but if their demand is to censor negative statements about Mohammed, their cause is unjust.

Indian law includes many forms of censorship. The book Lajja, by Taslima Nasrin, which is about the oppression of Hindus in Bangladesh (where she was from) was banned in the adjoining state of India.

Can anyone show me an article with comparable figures for the USA?
