Humanist Arrested for Anti-Islam Book

By Ed Brayton

ADVERTISEMENTS

The leader of the Indian chapter of the Center for Inquiry, a group I belong to, has been arrested in India for writing a book critical of Islam.

The Center for Inquiry's New Delhi, India contacts have reported that CFI/India President Innaiah Narisetti , as well as two other individuals--Subba Rao and author Macha Laxmaiah (alias Krantikar)--have been arrested for distributing a book "that reportedly hurt the religious sentiments of Muslims."

The book, Crescent over the World , is a compilation of articles including submissions by Salman Rushdie and Tasleema Nasreen, along with one of the "blasphemous" cartoons published in the Danish press in 2005 (some of which were republished in Free Inquiry magazine).
