Somebody posts something about Prophet Muhammed on facebook, and these fanatical Muslims start behaving like rabid dogs in Bengal. They have gone on a rampage, indulging in mindless violence, arson and rioting in the last couple of days. Chief Minister Mamata Banarjee is foolishly putting all her eggs in one basket. And that basket is the 28 percent Muslim vote in the state. By cynically appeasing the most fundamentalist and reactionary elements of the community, she is only preparing the ground for a severe backlash from the Hindu community. She is giving ample opportunity to the RSS/BJP to fish in troubled waters.
