The blog The Daily Shvitz, features a nice debate about the hate-writings of M. Nussbaum. I especially draw the reader's attention to the post by Leela Rajiva http://www.jewcy.com/daily_shvitz/lucifer_vs_martha_nussbaum#comment-7516

Ms. Nussbaum ( I don't want to keep reminding whatever dump gave her a PhD of their low standards) exhibits the standards of integrity of the University of Chicago with her ghoulish gloating over the burning alive of 58 innocents traveling in a sleeper coach S-6 of the Sabarmati Express at Godhra, Gujarat, at around 7AM on February 27, 2002. According to Nussbaum, these people were all "Hindu activists" because the train was going from Ayodhya, a city that contains a place that is as holy to Hindus as Jerusalem is to Jews. Never mind that many of the 58 were CHILDREN; at least some were Muslim including the wife of the Station Master of Godhra, who had just got in at the station. Never mind that on Indian Railways, reservations for sleepers are made months in advance, and the destination was Ahmedabad, a cosmopolitan city of several million. As the train pulled out from the station and gathered speed, someone pulled the emergency chain 3 times, forcing the train to stop, in about a mile. A mob of a few thousand gathered there, (estimates at the time counted 4000) stopped the train, threw stones to dissuade anyone from getting out, locked and barred the doors of the coach (sleepers have barred windows on Indian Railways) and then threw in a number of cans of gasoline or kerosene and then some burning rags, and prevented anyone including the firefighters from coming to the rescue, and watched as 58 people burned to death (some managed to escape from the other side of the train before the fire and smoke prevented any other survivors).

Nussbaum, who sneers at Indians who work on fiber optics, shows HER level of science (not to mention honesty) by claiming that this was some sort of accident, or maybe suicide, or maybe it was "justified" because someone on the train had a disagreement with a tea vendor at a station several miles down the line.

Note that this was a winter morning - it gets cold in Gujarat. It was 7AM, hardly the time for drunks to gather. The train was an express, averaging some 70 mph. So according to Nussbaumlogic, the news of the argument at some station flashed to Godhra, where several thousand Islamic types immediately decided on "action", went and bought some 100 gallons of gasoline at a gas station, rushed to the station, positioned themselves a mile outside, got someone to the station to buy a ticket on the express, got him/her in, had the chain pulled 3 times, the person escaped, and the festivities began.

Of course, might one ask why, say, if you were a passenger on a train, you and your 6-month-old baby deserve to be burned to death "because" someone on a train of 600 had an argument about a cup of tea 300 miles away? Aha! University of Chicago Law Professor Nussbaum "justifies" that in true U. Chicago Law School logic: The train carried some HINDOOS!

If this is not racist, bigoted, terrorist-supporting, utterly ghoulish dishonesty by this sickening parody of a human that is employed by the University of Chicago Law School, then I don't know what is.

And this is the SHINING LIGHT OF LIBERALISM??? Wow!

Had this incident happened in the United States of America (as similar ones may have occurred in the days when the West was being settled), the reaction would be very predictable: Godhra would have been sealed off, and carpet-bombed by B-52s, and the survivors hauled off for "interrogation".

In India, instead, the Authorities tried investigating. People lost their minds at this atrocity, enough to go start a horrible round of "retaliation" against equally innocent citizens.

But who is really to blame for the horrors of Gujarat 2002? The "Islamic" terrorists, and their lying apologists like Martha Nussbaum who sneered at the victims as their relatives tried to deal with their gried.

Nussbaum should be banned from all public fora - she is a blatantly dishonest, terrorist hate inciter. I for one am boycotting anything to do with the University of Chicago, which employs others as well, who make money selling pornographic abuse against Hindus - do you know of a name "Wendy Doniger"?

Thank you.
