Taslima Nasreen insults Mary, says Jesus' mom was not virgin

December 25, 2015

taslimaNew Delhi, Dec 25: Known for her controversial writings, noted Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen stirred up the hornet's nest when she said that 'Jesus was no God's son'.

Replying to a query on Twitter about what is wrong in celebrating Christmas, Taslima wrote, “I can't celebrate lies. Jesus's mom was not virgin and he was no God's son.”

It is not an insult to say that Jesus's mother was not a virgin when she gave birth to him. My mother was not a virgin when she gave birth to me. She was a respectable married woman. That is likely to have been the case with Mary too - that she was married to her husband Joseph, had sex with him and in due course produced a baby. It is the general way of things. Women who give birth to babies are not virgins. They have had sex with someone, who is the father of their child. Only two of the four gospels say anything about Mary becoming pregnant without having sex, and they tell very different stories from each other. These detailed stories are, I believe, invented to fit in with somes verses in the book of Isaiah, which were assumed in Jesus's day to be a prophecy of the Messiah, though they were in reality no such thing and referred to a young woman (not a virgin) giving birth to a baby in Isaiah's own time.

You commentators who want to prevent Taslima from voicing her opinions publicly should be ashamed of yourselves. You are full of hate and fear. How does it hurt you that a woman says that she does not agree with what you believe? Do you think that the creator and sustainer of the universe in whom you believe is so weak and defenceless that he needs people like you to protect him from someone saying that some story told about him is not true? You are not defending Jesus's mother from insult. You are not defending God from insult. You are simply trying to defend the beliefs that you have been brought up with from being questioned. Why shouldn't they be questioned? Why should they be accepted unquestioningly? Perhaps they are incorrect. If they are incorrect, don't you want to know it?

Why somebody asking which religion she belongs. Is it compulsory to believe any religion?
There was no adam as described in religion book. Man has been evolved by evolution.

Bengaluru, Jul 25: Kalmane Kamegowda, the lake man who was recently praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a recent Mann Ki Baat, is in serious condition after he tested positive for COVID-19, former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said on Saturday.

"The health condition of Lake Kamegowda is serious. It is our responsibility to save him. I demand that the state government make appropriate arrangements for emergency treatment," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"The Prime Minister also praised him in Mann Ki Baat. Chief Ministers expressed appreciation. Only praising doesn't help him at this point of time. The government needs to come forward to treat him in a good hospital when he's sick," he said in the following tweet.

Kamegowda of Dasanadoddi village in Malavalli taluk had drawn the attention of the Prime Minister in the 66th 'Mann Ki Baat' for constructing ponds to conserve rainwater during the summer.

Responding to Kumaraswamy's remark, State Medical Education Minister Dr Sudhakar K said that he has already called up the Mandya Medical College and directed the hospital to admit and treat Kamegowda.

"As soon as I noticed the seriousness of Kamagowad's health, I called the director of the Mandya Medical College and informed him that he should be admitted to the hospital and treated. I pray to the Lord that the Kamagowadas who inspire the whole country will heal soon," Sudhakar K tweeted.
