RE: Shudheendra Kulkarni’s article: Who’s responsible for the stereotypes of Islam? (Sunday Express, April 1, 2007)
Stereotyping is the sole privileged prerogative of the media. Muslims are easy prey for them, as overall Muslims, either in India or internationally, in print or in electronic media, have no presence at all to counter attacks on them.
They cannot defend themselves against the politically motivated stereotyping, mostly set to tune, by the Jews/Zionists who virtually own world media.
Shudheendra Kulkarni has dutifully followed the beaten path, by selecting a single Muslim figure, the celebrated Dr. Zakir Naik; audacious and daring enough to sanitize himself from the ridicule and derision from the press and boldly carrying on with his mission to fight stereotyping as well as demonizing of Muslims by the media, in his own rustic way that appeals to his own constituency.
Naturally, people like Kulkarni, who cherry-pick their own favorites from the Left liberals that were his past cronies from his old haunt, before the smooth chameleon of an arch secularist joined forces with rabid Hindutva communalists, has now found it easy to use his vitriol against a mainstream Islamic scholar, not given to take dictates from the Islamophobes, who would like their Islam cooked medium, if not raw.
