    pakistanis are considered as most welcoming nation in the world.we never heared of terrorism before 9/11 unless we announced the partnership with America in war against terrorism.therefore we are not terrorist but a victim of Americas problem.this iarticle is totally rubbish because it does not shows any proof of this statement , any comparisons made between pakistan and Iraq, any reprots supporting facts such as wold bank etc.its just a personal liking and disliking issue being addressed by the ordinary person who does not deserve to be a writer at internatiopnal level./

    The article is completely biased and clearly shows that the American lobby is now trying to blame Pakistan of its failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think news week should also spend some time to tell the readers, a brief history of Talabans and how Donald Reagen gave a "Head of a State" Protocol to Hikmat Yar (the then Chief of Talabans). Also, they should tell the readers that in 1979 Jimmy Carter assured the Military regime in Pakistan that if they support US the government will pay 400million US$ to PakPakistan.

    well i'll just say that writer has not worked on this article.we all know that the situation is critical fo Pakistan coz Benazir hs arrived out of nowhere n Musharraf's hands r tied coz of america. but situation related to jihadis is not as critical as writer has explained. I mean they r fighting in waziristan to get these gourillas out of the country. it will take time. so just take a chill pill and dont just wirte whatever comes in ur mnd. Musharraf has dne so much for the country and nobody mentions it. if u ppl r writing such thing daz just coz of musharaf coz he has given freedom to the media both electronic n print to say wutever is truth about anybody but dont blame him for everything. Benazir is involved in these blasts just to get sympathy from public and bag some votes to become PM. she is not innocent at all. dun v know that wut she has done in da past for this country. huh.... n u ppl r blaming musharraf.

    Comment:I congratulate News Week for publishing such a marvelous fiction about a country named Pakistan which is located on some planet millions of light years away from our solar system!!!!!!!!!! At least it can never be the country named Pakistan that I know. Please add a little more spice to your fiction; the people in that country eat human flesh and drink blood. I hope soon we will have the pleasure to watch Holly Wood movies based on this "True Fiction" and a lot of Fox News TV serials to prepare the minds of THE MOST IGNORANT NATION on this planet to invade another country.

    Mrs. Khurram Ibrahim,
    people of Pakiostan are known as the most welcoming people of world. till now we never heard of suiscide attacks untill we announced to be partner of America in war against terrorism. therefore we are a victom of america's problem not a part of terrorism.This report is truelly a rubbish because it does not contain any comparison or proves such a world bank report etc. its just a personal liking and disliking issue being published in international news paper to exploit a peacefull nation in the world.

    this article is trying to give a few islamic names with the title of 'exremists' and accounting the life they live in Pakistan , no known facts are given and political opinions are not based on such small facts. every day a few britains are killed through street crime that doesn't mean it is the 'unsafest place ' in the world. What is the American army doing in afghanistan if all the taliban leaders are here in Pakistan welli its sems from ths article they 're just chasing them and not stopping them. Militant Islamist groups that were originally recruited , traned and armed by the ISI, who's support llowed this to be done, america's , when only a few years back the world was bipolar and america wold at any cost , even if it was today's Taliban, beat Russia. If Pak. gov is to be blamed for recent events how did we get chain of dictators on the powerful seat, because when we did get a true leader he was executed , for whos 'murder' suspects are on America, who played an active role in the Pakistani gov back then just like america "bought" fidel castro's "girlfriend " to poison him. in pakistan american conspiracy's have been sucessfull so far... Why is the American secretary of state today giving statements siding a particular Pakistani politician?? If it is a land that has everything osama bin laden can ask for, who is he and why is he such a powerful threat. America itself had trained this guy they now call terrorist .If pakistan has security services that don't always do what they are supposed to do , then what about american soldiers torturing iraki prisoners , two years back where pictures were proofs, and authorities behaving like animals with the guntanamo prisoners. The reasons you have stated to prove your points are present in every part of the world, there is no weight in your facts.

    To Editor,
    How could you compare Iraq with Pakistan? And in my personal opinion it is not a comparison. It is propaganda against Pakistani nation. Before writing this false story did you think about the effort of Pakistan's army which they have put and continuously putting to help US in its war against terrorism? Instead of appreciating this effort you are criticising us and then you think that Pakistani nation will say welcome to you. I hope that US nation is not that much fool and they will not trust on this report blindly. Open your eyes and face the threat which the world is facing which USA and Pakistan is facing. We (Pakistani) are not extremist. Islam is against terrorism and extremism. We also want to live in a peaceful environment. As a responsible publisher News week should not publish such kind of stories which are totally false and are not the representative of Pakistani nation. How could you say Pakistani nation more dangerous than Iraqi while on the other hand you are saying that Taliban???s are the one who are responsible for all he extremist. Americans and British soldiers are being killed and injured every single day in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Every single day there are suicide bombers attacking on forces in Iraq and Afghanistan? When the world???s best forces with all the available resources are unable to cope with them then how come Pakistan can tackle with this problem? There is only one way of tackling this problem and that is through Dialogues otherwise this is a never ending war which is going to engulf the whole world. LONG LIVE PAKISTAN

    This article is totally baseless and with no supporting evidence. I am greatly surprised to read the heading of the article the authors without having any statistical data or comparison have compared Pakistan with Iraq. US and its policies are the biggest terrorists all over the globe. The authors are commenting on Islam without even knowing what it really is, its a complete law in itself and it stands for peace for all. It never asks for suicide bombings or killings. Who does not know that Taliban is the creation of US itself to fight against Russia, They themselves are the ones who armed and strenghthened them to fight against USSR from US side. 9/11 is the biggest blame on Taliban Islamic militants, they can never master scheme such a big and huge plan, its the jews and US who are behind it. Now for all that they are targeting the muslim ummah all over the world. Can I ask the authors of the article that what right US has to get involved in the politics of Pakistan? Since the last 6 years they are making a dictator rule Pakistan who is a mere puppet in the hand of Bush and now when US is viewing that Musharraf is getting weakened they are supporting Benazir Bhutto to come back to country and rule Pakistanis. Who does not know that BB has been ruling the country two times, and her government was the corrupt most government in the history of Pakistan. She is being set by US in the whole game against Muslim ummah and Islam.

    Its absolutely absurd calling pakistan the most dangrous countyr in the world. The reality is that USA has rightful candidate for this great award. Its USA who has ever used Nuclear weapon against another nation and they are again the likely nation to use it again, USA is the only nation illegaly occuping and destroying other countries. How can you be so mean with you own nation and giving its well earned award to another poor country like pakistan.

    I cant believe that someone can write so much in negitive sence about a country who has done more then any other country in fight of terrorism. I use to like this magazine and was buying it every week but the first thing popped up in my mind after reading that awfully load of rubbish article was that i am never ever going ot buy this magazine again and i request all the other muslim pakistanis to ban this magazine how can write such bull *** without any reason and any strong proove.
    Pakistan has done more then USA in the war on terrorism and it was the only country who had backed the most of bush's so called war on terrorism and if after all the sacrifices our goverment has given for this so called war this kind of artical was suppose to come then we better off this war things.
    USA and the people over there will never be happy with pakistan any way. We are already suffering from the most difficult time of our country''s history and on top of that this kind of stupid reporters publishing this kinda of S H I T would't help instead it will depress the situation.
    PLEASE IF YOU CANT SAY ANY GOOD WORDS ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF GOOD THINGS COMING OUT OF PAKISTAN PLEASE STOP BARKING OUT WUTEVER COMES IN YOUR BIG MOUTH WITHOUT ANY RELEVANT FACT.
    Peace,

    The people living along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan can only be termed "Traditionalists" rather than Islamists. Their ideology is same as was 200 years back. That ideology in very rare cases matches with that of Islam's and in most of the cases matches with what their forefathers have been doing; "With no concious connection to Islam "
    The ONLY real reason of being traditionalists, in this era of Modernization, is lack of basic necessasities of life, there. If opportunities of education, jobs and health alongwith a good living standard is provided for atleast one generation:"Free of cost", only then one can hope to bring change. This change can never occur by pounding bombs on innocent people in Waziristan. Musharraf should be aware of the fact that these Traditionalists have their folk-lore knitted around stories of winning battles against Alexander the Great, .. Great Britain, USSR and so on.
    Islam is a religion of Love, Equality and Justice and for those who don't believe, I'll suggest them to read The Translation of Holy Quran, prior to making thier mind in favor of such articles.

    Ah , this is by far the most sad account of a particular nations' turmoil i have ever come across. what exactly does america know about pakistan's history ! what do you know about terrorists. let me add some valuable information to the plethora of unfounded facts that you are aware of : AMERICA FUNDED PAKISTAN TO TRAIN PEOPLE ( WHAT THE WORLD NOW KNOWS AS TERRORISTS ) to support Russia when it invaded Afghanistan. And you actually have the audacity to point fingers at us ! Oh man .. you wouldn't survive a single day in the conditions our poeple live in .. and what in the world is the point of bringing religion into this !
    I come from pakistan and it's nothing like it's mentioned in the article . sure nations go through political turmoils ... but to comment without knowing the basis of it all , is is beautifuly summed up in one word * STUPID* . people agree that Benazir Bhutto is there for her own interests but why is America such an ardent fan ! why is america so keen on helping her out ! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE ! AMERICA HAS IT'S OWN INTERESTS !

    This article is a piece of *** which lies in the mind of western so called analysts. Pakistan is not a terrorist country but USA and UK are. US and UK forces are doing state terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. These brutal western forces are killing thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis on a daily basis. US marines are not representing US army but they are trained butchers killing thousands of muslims. Further, in the article, You have protrayed Benazir as a Fariy Lady or Innocent Lady who is a victum of bomb blast. Everyone knows who is she. She has done politics on the dead body of his father in her previous political career. Now she is doing the same thing using dead bodies of October 18 Bomb Blast. I want to request the writer of this articles to read the history of 80s and Russian Afghan War and understand that USA has sponsored Jhadis Group to crush Russia. Now these Jihadis groups are doing the same thing with USA, so whats the problem in that - Tit for Tat. Pakistan will remain on the map of the world. You insane views will never get any publicity. Shame on you - Shame on you
