Here was one comment on the net:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;How did we come to this pass where this class places higher priority  over distributing panties to a third-rate, &amp; small-time wannabe  politician over being watchful about the more real dangers that it  faces?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So is this allegation true?

But it&#8217;s not because we&#8217;re trying to &#8220;pacify Muslims&#8221;, &#8220;demonize Hindu culture&#8221;, or are being manipulated by the media or politicians. There are two reasons why there was greater outrage over Muthalik.<\/p>\n<p>The first is that <strong>Muthalik <em>blatantly and openly<\/em> went after all women<\/strong> who &#8220;offended Hindu culture.&#8221; In other words, he was moralizing to the whole country &#8211; sending out a message that <em>no one was safe<\/em> who dared go against his personal little outlook &#8211; and <strong>he was entitled to his actions<\/strong>. The hand choppers attacked a specific person. In reality, this too is a way of threatening everyone, but they weren&#8217;t so damn blatant about it. They didn&#8217;t stand in front of media people and proclaim their bigotry to the whole world. Muthalik on the other hand gave press statements claiming to be the moral voice of the country. By doing that he <em>obviously<\/em> pissed people off a lot more than crazy fanatics who hurried through a gruesome act.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Muthalik&#8217;s violence <strong>was against women<\/strong> specifically. It was a double outrage. Not just against pubbing, drinking and dressing, but against <em>women specifically<\/em>. I mean what the hell?<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the hand choppers inspired <em>fear<\/em>. Muthalik inspired <em>outrage<\/em>. Imagine for a moment that after chopping off this poor Professor&#8217;s hand, the culprits had waited for media people and with a smug look boldly told the whole country that <strong>they would come for every Christian, Hindu, or Atheist who dared insult Mohammed<\/strong>. Does anyone think we would have kept quiet? The outrage would have been 10 times worse than what we released on Muthalik.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason is that Muthalik and his type are politicians. Violence is bad enough without having the sanction of those who are trying to be in power. Because of this, <em>Muthalik was a much more dangerous threat<\/em>. If he ever gets a chance to wield actual power, he has the ability to impose his idiocy on all of us! Naturally he&#8217;s a much bigger threat. And this is a justified fear since he was even caught on tape <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dnaindia.com\/bangalore\/report_pramod-muthalik-caught-on-cam-promising-riots-for-a-price_1382858\">offering to start riots for a price<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The difference between Muthalik and the hand choppers is like the difference between the Mafia and regular thieves. The Mafia is organized, runs businesses, and is more systemic and entrenched. Regular thieves are dangerous, but can&#8217;t do much worse than steal. We naturally hate the Mafia more than normal thieves!<\/p>\n<p>I hope this clears up some of the misunderstanding for those who feel that we only focus on Hindu violence and Muslim violence. We&#8217;re not ignoring any violence, but we focus on that which has the capacity to do much more damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explains the reasons why there was
