    The writer has failed to show the other side of the picture, obviously he has Indian roots but it does not make sense to mention what he has heard from Indian officials and simply ignore the Pakistani prospective.

    Soon after the Mumbai???s attack, Zardari condemned these attacks and promised to send the ISI???s head to India but he did not back down because army was not happy about that as the writer mentioned, he did back down because Mr. Mukherjee (mukar gee as known in Pakistan) threatened Pakistan with military action.

    Everybody in Pakistan is sad about terrorist attack in Mumbai but soon after the attacks it was declared the India???s 09/11 planned by Pakistan. War slogans were being telecast round the clock. As a responsible country Pakistan promised to help in investigation and asked for evidence but nothing has been made available yet. How on earth one country can convict an individual on the basis of media reports. India should hand over evidence to Pakistan if it believes that somebody from Pakistan is involved.

    Being opportunist, Indian???s regime thought, well this is the time to put pressure on Pakistan to score some brownie points. Lot of Indians are talking about attacking Pakistan as the US did after 09/11 but they fail to understand that India is not America. Pakistanis are proud nation and know well how to defend their country.

    India should do some sole searching exercise and look inwards not outward. Hundreds of Christians and churches were burned and nuns were raped couple of months ago by Hindu terrorists, leave alone the terrorist activities committed against Indian Muslims.

    Writer has mentioned that ISI is the biggest problem but failed to mentions deeds of RAW which is supporting the terrorists fighting Pakistan Army in tribal belt and Baluchistan.

    Unless India stops creating problem in the neighboring countries, it should stop blaming its neighboring countries.
    AFTERALL India doesn???t have friendly relations with any one of its neighbors.

    War is never a good solution but Collabration on agreement on several issues.when India speaks of Terrorism, Pakistan pulls out its age old issue of Kashmir.These countries do not need to spend all their time and energy on a piece of land which on both sides is infected with unemployment,poverty and suffering.They should get more practical and focus on economical growth. We see what India has achieved by doing that and where Pakistan is running around for dollars because of lack of foresight on all governemnts .Pakistan is segmented in different states which lack coordination and behave individually.They have to decide now , whether to remain where thay have been from decades and put their people 's interest over few terrorist organisations or to get rid of the country of its terror garbage and seek a good future for its citizens.Sundeep

    Shah Rukh,
    I have no doubtin mind that you are a metntally disturbed person and are a "Wolf in sheep's clothings", I mean a "Hindo" desguised as a Muslim.
    The way you write andwhat you write can't be a gentleman's way. Form and contents of your writing both reflect a picture of a mentally disturbed person.
    The way you mentined Miss. Natasha is a shame to disgrase that you earn by such language. take out your mask, get psychiatric help and then learn manners and etiquettes and then write in these pages.

    Uighur separaratists get trained in pakistan. Do you think China really thinks pakistan is Chiina's best buddy?
    babe get out of that burqa and look at the real world.
    Everyone knows china is cheap goods factory of the world and Pakistan is terrorism producing factory of the World.
    These burqa clad women living in paki society where honor killings are the norm need to be liberated from this kind of human right violations.

    Jamaat-ud-Dawa Chief Mr Saeed says, "Allah has told us to make atom bombs. America is telling us not to. Who should we listen to O Muslims, Allah or America?" Mr Saeed continues to urge all Muslims to give of their assets and themselves to the cause of jihad against India. "Kashmir will not be solved by talks, not by American arbitration, not by its division but only by jihad, jihad, jihad!" He said jihad was once used to save the Christians and that the murder of Hindus is not only justified, it is nearly a holy duty. "The Hindus were terrorists yesterday, they are terrorists today and they will remain terrorists tomorrow. We are right in seeking revenge from these spawns of evil."

    Such fiery sentiment may all be bluster, one analyst points out to TFT. "However, (Mr Saeed's) point about allegations of cross-border infiltration not been provable in a court of law, or justice as he called it for some symbolic reason perhaps, is interesting. He is either bluffing, simply making these statements to rile the public. Or he is actually pursuing action aware of how the law works and circumventing it."

    Mr Saeed, a former engineering professor, is of keen mind. The mosque address, even in taped form, is not permitted under law (see Maintenance of Public Order law, Article 16) and sources in the government claim Mr Saeed had "promised" not to make any such statements following his release from house arrest late last year and would stay muzzled. Sources close to Mr Saeed say, however, that no laws are being broken: "He is entitled as a citizen of Pakistan to freedom of speech under Article 19 of the Constitution."

    Article 19 states: "Every citizen shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression ... subject to any reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interest of the glory of Islam or the integrity, security or defence of Pakistan or any part thereof, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, [commission of] or incitement to an offence."

    The main problem, people, is that America's ultimate goal is imperialism. now China stands in the way. who is China's strongest ally? Pakistan. Whats happening in Pakistan suddenly? Total chaos.

    As for those who are condemning incorrect english....ever been to Europe? not many people there are fluent in english, and dont seem to care. Is Sarkozy fluent in english? is Putin? the Pope? Grow up already!!!!! Enough with the complexes.

    China signs a nuclear deal with Pakistan, and Mumbai happens. China makes a Gwadar in pakistan, and the American and Indian naval commanders go crazy. No powers of deduction, eh?

    And for all the cry babies here, enough man, the routine is getting old.

    Its sad and tragic that individuals like shah rukh are allowed to use these pages to express thier dirty minded and distorted ideas and feelings. Shah Rukh as I siad before there is always a minority even if 0.001% and you are one among that minority.

    Let me tell you soemthing, I am a physician and am living in US for years. I am a blessed person due to the fact that i am not only educated on material section but also on religious side. I am among those Muslims who have learned Islam not only from scholars but have studied Islam by themselve too. Befoer I came to US I was a conservative muslim with strong Islamic faith but when I came in US, I got a chance to compare my Islamic believs with other (christian) faith and the comparison made my believse anf faith firmer and firmer. When I see problems in western society (crimes, lack of social and family values, drugs, violence among many) and compare these with Muslim society and don't see any similarity that makes me understand why prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stressed the importance of Zakat, rights of parents, rights of neighbors, rights of poors and obligations of rich towards the poors in the society, why freedon of sex, drinking of alcohol etc are forbidden in Islam. These pages don't allow me to write much onthis but the reality is shah Rukh needs not only to learn to respect difference in opinion but needs a strong "JOLT" to make him understand the real face of "Violen and Extremist Hindo".
    Quaid Jinnah said that Hindo can only be defeated by speaking truth as he never speaks truth. Hindo is a vicked and cunning nation, that doen't believe in rights of others in the society and who believes that India is only for Hindoes. Appointing a Muslim president and a sikh prime Minister is only a deception. Get the facts from International Human rights comminssion and other Human rihgt watch groups about "Human Rights violations" in India by Indian political parties and Hindo extremists and you will never speak like this agian shah Rukh.
    As I mentioned real problem with pakistan is not having a real leader ship and the day Pakistan gets real Leader ship,theer will be peace in the region as so for pakistan has puppets, who work for foreign interests in exchange of personal benefits.
    Shah rukh get psychiatric help and come out of "DELUSIONS" and live in real world.

      Wow, Malikrose is a physician who can't spell to save his life!!! I hope he does not prescribe medicine by his habit of typos; coould end up prescribing a diabetes medicine for a BP patient. Examples of his fine literacy: 1) Hindo - what is a Hindo? The language is Hindi, the religion is Hinduism, a follower of that religion is a Hindu. Also he convenient spells Muslim with an uppercase M and Sikh with a lower case "s" ; lack of respect. The spelling mistakes and the animosity are both intense. Who cared what Quaid said about a 'Hindo'? Did a 'Hindo' ever cross the Indus with his armies and forced people in the middle east to become Hindus? Oh my! What a concept, do not harass yuor neighbors and convert them to your religion!!!

      Iranians at least openly hate the Arabs and their forced conversion to Islam. Even today they go out of theur way to say they are Persian and NOT Arabs!!! But for some starnge reason the Hindus of the states of Punjab, Sindh, and border areas feel they are direct descendants of Arabia!!! The founder of Pakistan, Jinnah, was from the Gujarati Lohana Hindu community which were called Ismailis when they converted to Islam. Lastly, Pakistanis do not even respected the faith of Jinnah and call Ismailis as fake Muslims!!! Wow North India Hindus who became Muslims actually pass a discriminatory judgment on West Indian Hindus who became Muslim!!! I have still to figure out what gives one bunch of converted Muslims the right to ban another sect of Islam!

    Posted By: Michaelkhan @ 12/13/2008 10:00:02 PM<<< Either you are from outside the Indian subcontinent and don't know the local politics or you are a Paki posing as a neutral person. I'm going to assume you are not a Paki.

    Your interpretation is incorrect. Pak army/ ISI has both pan-islamist jeahdis and "modern, western- educated " types like General Musharaff. But both these groups share one common agenda, using jehadi terrorist groups as a leverage against India. Some have started realizing how much bad consequences Pakistan has endured because of this stupid policy, many haven't. The "Kashmiri freedumb struggle" consisted of rape, genocide and expulsion of Kashmiri Hindus from their homeland. This was "achieved" by the Pak army with the use of Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists. TO PUT IT SUCCINCTLY, Lashkar-eToiba is the jehadi terrorist wing of Pak army. The terrorists who attacked Marriott hotel are pan-Islamist jehadis, NOT IN THE CONTROL of Pak army.

    Where did I , when did I attempt to negate or deny claims about your religion? You tried to promote your religion, I just pointed out mine. It is in Carl Sagan's book Cosmos. He points out the Hindu philosophy had a more accurate estimate of the time scale of the Universe: "The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang. And there are much longer time scales still."

    About your claims about "spewing hatred"......If my attempts to expose the jehadi terrorist stae of Pakistan counts towards "spewing hatred" I 'm absolutely thrilled to take that honour. Behind your pretentious claim lies you denial of and support for Paki jehadi terror war on unarmed Indian citizens.

    Attique Chohan, a Jamaat-ud-Dawa spokesman in North West Frontier Province, addresses media next to the insignia of his organization outside the office which is sealed by the authorities in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Friday, Dec. 12, 2008.
    ____________________________________

    The spokesman for th eterror outfit front Lashkar E Tiabba - Jammat is Attique Chohan iand he s directly descended from hindoo converts. His last name chohan is muslim spelling of hindoo rajput last name of Chauhan!!
    See how these pakistanis like fuzzytruhseker need psychiatric help!!!!
    They are descendants of forced hindoo converts. Them converted by force of sword by the invading muslim barbarians.
    Perhaps a good psychiatrits may help in letting them "feel from inside" their hindoo convert origins!!!
    Most of these pakistanis have no common orgins with arabs but they feel some sort of psychaitric inferrority complex to arabs,. that is why their leaders run to Saudi arabia to seek refugee or get advice or get free money. May be psychaitrists can help and have them "get in touch with the hindoo in their soul" and thereby bring an end to their fanatic religious inspired terrorist activities?

  • Posted By: Victor1971 @ 12/13/2008 1:49:18 PM

    WOW, WOW, WOW.....Very nice spin there Mr."Truthseeker". I assume you are a muslim. I'm a secular Indian. Even if there is one Muslim in India who believes in the Indian tricolor and Holy Koran, I have no business arguing with him or showing disrespect to his religion. That simple, same for overwhelming majority of Indians, and believe it or not this applies to many people who even vote for BJP.

    There are several physicists and astronomers icluding Carl Sagan who have written about how Hindu Vedantic philosophy's perception of the Universe is more in alignment with scientific theory than any other religion. I'll leave it there.

    Coming to your patronizing, hypocritical advise on "India must also choose".
    and treatment of minorities.....Attitudes like those of yours and the likes of Arundthathi Roy are the reason for the growth of Moditva and VHPism in India. In your twisted logic, it is impossible for Hindus to have grievances!!!! Such privilige is available to only "minorities".

    FYI...Indian state "chose" long time ago 61 years ago what it wants to be. Various groups are undermining the concept of Indian state, and the state is struggling to uphold its founding principles. OUR FAILURES DO NOT IMPLY OR NEGATE WHAT WE STAND FOR. After 61 years, Pakistan could not build a viable nation state. And it is sponsoring jihadi terror to help Indian muslims? The intellectual dishonesty of discussing India's problems in the context of cold blooded terrorism will take us nowhere

      Tell me in which work of Carl Sagan and which chapter he says what you claim. I have seral of his books (but, of course not all) in my mini-library, so I can immediately check.

      Besides, while you may be correct , dpending on how one reads them, that the vedantic teachings are in conformity with science, that does not negate what Nobel prize -winning physicist Abdus Salaam says not what Peter Turchin says nor what I say.

      But you love spewing hatred. Suit yourself to your heart's content!.

    I have called a psychiatrist. They'll come to get you soon!

  • Posted By: Shah Rukh @ 12/13/2008 2:17:18 PM

    malikrose have you seen a psychiatrist yet?
    Have you looked at your face in mirror today - for long time because ONLY then an idiot like you will see theat in your face you will se a face of a hindoo. Becaus ethat is what you are. Your daddys or mommy were defeated hindoos hthat converted to islam by the sword of the invaders.
    Hey mailrose Jinnah's granftahre was a hindoo.
    get it.
    So was Iqbal father.
    You mullahs are converted by force.
    And iranian told me that it was descipable that mohmmed marry a 9 year old girl. that would be a crime.
    I know it is hard to accept historical facts but you must look at your face in mirror closely and for long time. It will have a face of a hindoo in it. All history books say that except pakistanis!!!!!
    Why can't you pakistanis accpet the Historical truth that your ancestors were forced converts belonging to hindoo religion?

    Jinnah ancestors like Iqbal's were.
    Just like almost all kashmirirs ancestors were forcibly converted from hindoo religion.
    You are no physician. Iou are afunny man!!!!

    As a secular Indian I grant all the rights under the Sun to patriotic muslims like MJ Akbar all he wants to criticize Gujarat riots or Babri Masjid demolition. I shouldn't say I GRANT, it is not what I grant, he gets this right from the Indian Consituition and we are proud of it. 100,000%. I grant no such rights to Paki Muslims. I COULD grant such rights to Pakis if only
    (1) Pakistan had stayed a secular republic and not the "Islamic Republic" as it is with constitution that declares only a muslim can become president.

    I COULD grant such rights to Pakis if only
    (2) Pakistan has a 15% Hindu population in its current territory. In 1947 20-30% f population was Hindu, in the present day geographic area that makes up Pakistan.

    I COULD grant such rights to Pakis if only
    (3) If only there are Hindu missile scientists in Pakistan, if only the most popular movie stars in Pakistan happen to be infidel Hindus, if only Pakistan had a Hindu cricket captain, if only 3 out of 11 members in its cricket team are Hindus.

    Since none of the above applies, it is very hypocritical and shameful for Pakis to talk about Indian Muslims.
