I Am a Liberal, And I am Not Opposed to India's Beef Ban

The recent ban on the sale of beef meat in Kashmir, just on the heels of a similar ban in Maharashtra, has evoked a strong outcry, both on the jagged streets of Kashmir, and on social media. So-called progressives have been quick to criticize the beef ban as an affront to religious freedom, tolerance and personal choice. But it is paradoxical to talk of tolerance while turning a blind eye to the trauma and cruelty that the bovines face in the mostly unlicensed and ill equipped slaughterhouses in India.
The opening of the Grand Mosque in Moscow has taken place Wednesday with a top Russian diplomat calling it a “milestone event” for Muslims all over the world.
Russia’s State Duma speaker Sergey Naryshkin has said the Moscow Grand Mosque should become symbolic with Islam’s role in Russia’s history.
"I would like to extend my sincere congratulations on the occasion of the opening of the Moscow Grand Mosque, which is a milestone event not only for Russia’s capital but for the whole Muslim world," Russia's Tass quoted a statement from the State Duma speaker. "Let the majestic look of the Moscow Grand Mosque become a symbol of the important role that Islam has always played in Russia’s history and our future joint achievements in the development of the motherland."
