string of child suicide bombings across India in response to an ongoing controversy surrounding remarks about Muhammad made by a now-former spokeswoman for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
During a cable news debate last week, former spokeswoman Nupur Sharma
– discussing widespread mockery by Muslims of Hindu gods following the
debated discovery of a sacred Hindu relic in a mosque – suggested that
Hindus should mock the Islamic hadith, or holy writing, stating that
Muhammad married a girl named Aisha when she was six years old. Sharma
also mentioned several other Quranic statements she considered potential
fodder for jokes." MS
