Taslima Nasreen Removes Comment

BBC: Controversial Bangladeshi feminist writer Taslima Nasreen has said she will withdraw some "controversial" lines from one of her books.

The lines are from Dwikhondito (Split into two) which, some Muslim groups say, are derogatory to Islam.

The book was banned by the government in India's West Bengal state where a quarter of the population is Muslim. >>>
