*You may not like. But it's very easy to dismiss someone by throwing a label at them, there is a lot between being 'liberal' and 'illiberal' in real world
*Despite not claiming to watch news, how headlines can shape your thought process & a victim becomes a hooligan in your eyes

*First, a basic thing if someone abuses a woman or man, targets or indulges in character assassination, its termed 'harassment' & there are proper sections under IPC for registration of case.
*If action not taken, there is harsh criticism of authorities. People stand with victim.

*Routinely people get booked, arrests or convictions are at a next stage. Now, whenever it comes to Muslims', it is claimed that the community is 'over sensitive'.
*Section 295 (A) of IPC is for deliberate & malicious acts, intended to outrage feelings of any class. Now let's see

Imagine, one group can claim that its sentiments got hurt over a historical movie, say Padmavat, go about ruckus and arson in different cities, (remember that bus carrying kids) but no one would fire. BD men can attack police stations in different cities, but never face bullet.

Despite the threatening language and scale of violence over days, these groups or Senas won't be termed 'extremist', no news would be planted about their action, and even in vernacular papers attempts would be to term lawlessness as result of a genuine grievance of depiction.

There are umpteen cases, remember when a cop was shot dead in UP, and the accused not arrested for days or later came out of jail as 'hero'!
What provisions of law were used, which property seized. Now, this thread is not just about comparing different incidents of vandalism. No.

*It is about something that even 'liberals' fail to realise. Whenever it comes to Muslims', it is claimed that the community is 'over sensitive'.
*In this case, a complaint was made. Case was not registered, there was delay. There was ruckus, but in this case cops fired, 3 died

*There're cases in the country where police stations are targeted or vandalized but cops don't fire.
* Even after failing to get FIR registered and losing lives--no debate on excessive use of force, pm report or compensation, media presented it as a case of 'bloodthirsty mob'...

*Violence is no solution, everyone condemns. But there is ruckus at many places, here people died, there is no focus on deaths.
*No sympathy for victims, who were even part of mob or as we found one of them the sole breadwinner who was caught in melee on way home.

*In case of Muslim protesters, stories planted to link them to certain 'group', wild theories, suggestions about the role, attempts to bring 'extremist' angle.
*So, people angry at them. You instantly accuse them, believe that 'they were wrong', even after they were killed.
