Prophet comment row: Taslima Nasreen wades in, says 'If Prophet was alive today...'

Outspoken writer from Bangladesh Taslima Nasreen waded into the Prophet row. She took to Twitter to express her views on the protest flare up in India in light of the comments made by now suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.

Nasreen on Twitter said that even if The Prophet were alive today 'he would have been shocked to see the madness of the Muslim fanatics around the world.'

Her remark came after protests erupted in several states across the country and also spread to neighbouring Bangladesh. On Friday, thousands marched on the streets of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka in protesting Nupur Sharma's comments.
