    faheeem.

    i m afraid, how one can say pakistan is most dangerous country of world witout any logic or evidence, it looks writer has some prejudice towards Pakistan. one can not claim or blame on whole country just after one bad moment,
    Pakistan is a peaceful country and ofcourse is facing political unstability, these stupid political person like zardari, the hasband of former p.m benazir bhuto who lives out of pakistan, and most crucpt person says and record their comments in this way,,,,,,, is ridicules. ,,,,,,,,,,,
    no one can neglect the role of Pakistan against the war of terror, and still doing alot to recover peace in country.

    Dear Auditor,
    If you think that insurgency is the only problem of pakistan than it is wrong, there are number of countries those are unstable(politically, financially). You can not stop entering insurgent in any country even in America as well as in Uk having technology loaded security, then why blame pakistan is the dangerous as per your personal opinion, be mature and count the facts and figure.
    If you show this path(pakistan is dangerous)must show all this with facts and figure. I am from pakistan and think that pakistan is going back(not dangerous)due to bad leadership and corrupt politican they only look for ministership not elect for people and make the country stable.
    Pakistan is not dangerous but you fair people(Countries in power) are dangerous for pakistan who assist the pakistan bad goverment for their own interest and when get the benefit then blame pakistan is not peacefull contry, sorry to say look in to your cooler, i am very sad to say that you people are govering pakistan not pakistani!

    hello.well i totally disagree that pakistan is dangerous.in my opinion the most dangerous country of the world is the united states of america.because the only and only reason on these bomb blasts and suiside attacks is the terrorism done by the US in the world.its not pakistan who is killing hundreds of people daily in iraq,its not pakistan who is killing millions of innocent people daily in afghanistan.its the USA.and for what??the answer is only for money and oil.we asians always laugh and pity for america that she is killing countless people just for money.every person in our countries abuses bush all the time,there is no respect left for the american.and americans have sold their degnity and ego.i loved america very much befor untill knew that its the country whose foundations are filled with just and humanity.
    and you people talk about religion well america listen this that there is not a single person in any christian countries who have read bible.no body knows what have bible saib no one.i challenge that not even ur pope is a true christian.i beg to christians that first go and prove that your book is a true book then critisize on other religions.........in the end i should say that THE MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRY OF THIS WORLD IS NOT IRAQ IT AMERICA AMERICA AND ONLY AMERICA!!!!!!

    This article is a depiction of Newsweek biasedness. It is a true neglect of the services and sacrifices of P the OTHERS we are killing our own citizens. We are bombing our innocent people. It must be a reward from your side. So, in my point of view Pakistan is the most dangerous place for its own citizens not for any other nation. Pakistan has set an example to kill its own citizens and it can not be seen any where in the world. I was a subscriber of Newsweek because that I thought in it I can found the truth. But I am sorry to see such an article about Pakistan. I am not saying that your article is about Pakistan and I am the citizen of it. But I am right to say here that this article is one of the big lies which your magazine has published. I congratulate Newsweek on this biased article

    Got a chance to read the story about the law and order situation in Pakistan. Understand that law and order situation in Pakistan is bad due to political and religious intolerance. But the claim that Pakistan is a dangerous place than Iraq seems a big claim. There are two ways to compare two situations. The best comparison is statistical comparison, or alternatively, we can compare on overall qualitative measures. The author in this article did not provide any evidence or comparison between the two countries. It looks that author has some prejudice towards Pakistan and that is quite evident from this article. A magazine like Newsweek has a credibility and using political slogans like coverpage stories does not do anything good. Most of the stories presented in this article looks made-up with fictecious charachters. Furthermore, the situation is Iraq is far worst than Pakistan. No foreigner can go outside Green Zone of Baghdad and fighting is all over while in Pakistan one can move easily. Even South African team is playing Cricket in Pakistan. Can you imagine any such thing in Iraq? The attacks against the Armed Forces of Pakistan and innocent people are in fact retaliation against the present and past army regimes.
    This article has hurt the feelings of Pakistani Community and is a true neglect of Pakistan's role against the war of terror.

    Highly biased and motivated article to malign Pakistan. Pakistan has been in existance for the last sixty years. In contrast to several developing countries, governments in Pakistan have always changed peacefully. Terrorism in Pakistan is relatively a new phenomenon and it is mainly caused by US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Pakistan has few nuclear weapons and they are secure and will always remain so. In contrast Us has thousands of nuclear warheads and there are greater chances of these falling into wrong hands. Only recently, a US Airforce plane took six nuclear warheads from a base in North Dakota without permission. It flew over the lenght of the USA and loanded at an airport with out anyone guarding. There was only a mild reaction in the US press. The whole western world would have been in an uproar if such a thing had happened in Pakistan. Pakistan has always been helpful to the USA. However US press always treats Pakistan unfairly. I would like you to check the credentials of your two reporters who wrote this totally biased report. They could be working for some foreign intelligence service, not happy with Pakistan's nuclear program. Submitted by Yousef Khan, Phoenix, Arizona.

    The article is extremely informative Will for sure face a lot of criticism, but I am sure they all will be very constructive criticism. Since 1990's India has been extremely vocal about the role of ISI and Pakistani agents in most of the Indian bomb blasts, but the international agencies hardly paid any heed to that. In the SAARC foreign ministers' meeting in Dhaka in 2006, India had said it has evidence of Pakistan's role in cross-border terrorism. In an interview with CNN-IBN TV channel, National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan said Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashker-e-Toiba has international influence and it was crucial for the US to understand its 'ramifications'. Hopefully the outside world will wake up to this issue soon. The article is not against Pakistan or agaisnt islam or against the Koran. People who take terror in their hands and kill innocent people have no religion for sure. If the same thing happens in India tommorow, its important to bring it to people's attention. Good work News week.

    This article is a depiction of Newsweek biasedness. It is a true neglect of the services and sacrifices of Pakistani Nation who have lost thousand of lives in the so called "war against terrorism". I just want to ask one question, Is it the return of our sacrifices which we made in the war against terrorism? You are absolutely right Pakistan is the most dangerous Country not the nation for its own citizens because to please the OTHERS we are killing our own citizens. We are bombing our innocent people. It must be a reward from your side. So, in my point of view Pakistan is the most dangerous place for its own citizens not for any other nation. Pakistan has set an example to kill its own citizens and it can not be seen any where in the world. I was a subscriber of Newsweek because that I thought in it I can found the truth.

    Well I am surprised and disappointed, both on the team who manufactured the story and their bosses who approved this publication. Newsweek circulation has been very very low and just to get back in the market they have published a false propaganda without any evidence. I thought people who work for these agencies need to be qualified journalist as any other sensitive profession. They have proved that non of the top bosses nor the team who manufactured this story has any clue about modren journalism which needs evidence and root cause analysis. According tto his story one of the writers met tob Mujahideen leader in Peshawer and had food with him, if the whole story is true than how can this gentleman was ever able to roam in Peshawer.
    Newsweek needs to appologise to people of Pakistan .
    Well Pakistan is a great country with very tolerant people who do not support these extremist.

    Hamara Pakistan

    it is totally nonsence,, it is one sided story, and without any statistics and graphical comperision in term of voilence and terror, with other countries, how a responsible institute of ur level can print some thing wihtout going into the details. I strongly disagree with this, it is not good.

  • Posted By: truecitizen123456 @ 10/26/2007 12:08:47 AM

    Although I do not agree to what was in magazine but as Pakistanis we must understand that because of handful of extremist elements, we are on path of destruction. We must support moderate and forward looking leaders so that we should be back on path of development and prosperity . We must accept that as long as those elements are present in our country we will see much of these articles in future...
