One can be prosecuted in any of the so-called western country for blasphemy if his/her writings are found to be hurting the Christian belief. It rather amazes me when I see that most of the world literature are written along the lines of religious preaching, and interestingly when you read Milton's "Paradise Lost" or Goethe's "Faust" or even the Mahakabyas (based on Hindu mythology) in our own language, they are regarded as literary milestones but when one writes something along the Islamic ideals, it either does not qualify as a piece of literature or regarded as a publication of the fundamentalists. Even the world's greatest art works like "The Last Supper" are based on Christian belief, not to mention the great sculptures in India derived from Hindu culture.

So writers should think critically about the issue before committing themselves to a particular position .
