Is the Interfaith Commission our very own Weapon of Mass Deception?
The very fact that a road-show discussion on Article 11 could provoke an angry protest tells us that there is something not right in the way we approach inter-religious understanding after almost fifty years of independence.
There is a proposed clause in it that is triggering the anger of the Muslims. It is one that proposes that a child born into a Muslim family be given the chance to choose his/her religion by the time he is old enough to choose a new one. It is one of the most provocative clauses that is coming from a committee that applies a paradigm of careless liberalism to a belief system that continues to be strongly preserved.
