Reader Says Story Was Unfair, Unbalanced
Re “A Lot of People Want This Woman Silenced” (July 16): I am a subscriber to The Times and am deeply disturbed at the lack of balance and objectivity in your article on Taslima Nasrin.
Nasrin is free to have her opinions, but it is the responsibility of a newspaper to balance outrageous remarks with comments from other sources. Muslims are not in favor of censorship. We only ask that media outlets adhere to journalistic standards of fairness, accuracy and objectivity.
The article says Nasrin is a self-declared atheist. How would readers feel about a prominent Muslim newspaper that published an article quoting an American atheist about his or her views on Christianity and Judaism? What if this newspaper did not offer comments from representatives of those faiths?
