its true that american war on terror is bullshit and it has only caused more rift between muslims and non-muslims.Otherside, if america + west stops their aggresion can hamid talk to mullahs and educate them to accept other religions and follow respective country codes?. Impossible? mullahs can never understand microsoft.at the most u show them windows urdu version they will understand and then will use it for laptop bombs.whether we like it or not,its a known fact that its a religious/literacy war where in one believes in wrong islam and other believes in moderate islam while the world tries to tackle this indifference.Its better if popes,mullahs sit together and resolve this. no other choice.Bush/blair/musharaff all are opportunists, thats all
Pakistanis reject fanaticism, don't want anything to do with Kashmir

Overwhelming majority of Pakistanis reject fanaticism and want nothing to do with,afghanistan or Kashmir. I read a Pakistani article on SADA TV which states: "Majority of the Pakistanis like me have resigned ourselves to the fate of oppression. We have been fearfull of the Mullahs. Instead of outright rejecting the authority of religion in our daily lives, we acquiesce. No more can we surrender to the oppressive religious zealots of our society. "
Hamid Mir is a maglomaniac. He admits to leaving Lebanon because it would not make headlines. He wants to be in headlines that's why he is an apologist of the Jihadis. Indian readers should recognize progressive mainstream Pakistanis and pay no heed to writers like Hamid Mir.
Britain or any other western nation has given millions of immigrants from all over the world a hope and life and gave then a chance to live a life of dignity. imagine a poor Kashmiri family getting an immigrant visa to Britain from an impoverished neighborhood in Kashmir. The country provides them food, shelter, jobs, a scciety where you are treated well,citizenship of a rich nation; in fact everything. This family shoild be eternally grateful to the country and it's people. BUT, sadly BUT, the son of the family tries to bomb HIS own country-men in the name of Religion. Relegion stands for all good things...Gratitude (Thankfullness) is the most important of them. A relegion or a family which does not teach gratefullness is not worth to be included in HUMANITY.
I think now its time to fight back with this so called holy war. The terrorist gives new definitions of islam everyday and brain washes the young blood across the globe.
Now its time to form group of nightmares to fight against these kind of bullshits.
United Nations should form troops for it and spread it across globe. Else our coward politicians have to step back and let indian army take command over this, and eliminate the word "Terrorism" from the earth.
The Author is trying to raise the Kashmir issue under the pretext of Holy War... seems that the author has less vision on the democratic nation's secular mentatlity...
people here who has posted and elsewhere always seems to ask what have we done wrong to them.it takes little for these people to get their minds short circuited. Both real,alleged and perceived attrocities provide an excuse.
US and UK point towards terrorism as their reason for attacking, and people like this author blame "root causes". I think we have all reached a point where no one party can be solely blamed anymore.
If US and UK were such noble countries sincere towards terrorism, why is their history replete with support to dictators and regime changes? Osama is a product of CIA training of Mujahideen against the Russians, how can anybody forget that?
If root causes are indeed so noble, why this sweeping hatred towards all Westerners, Zionists & Hindus? How can one justify killing and atrocities as a valid response to the same kind of atrocities?? What should we do, try to negotiate with terrorists who declare outright that destruction of entire countries is the reason for their existence? There may be some cases of Indian Muslims being recruited by Al Qaeda, but surely the author cannot equate it to entire movements in his country and other Muslim countries! If so many Indian Muslims overwhelmingly choose not to go that way, all this violence cannot really be justified by religion. The fault solely lies with those who choose to get brainwashed by false alliances with religion.
What Uk and USA doing right now it was clear to all of us. Just for the sake of one person in afganistan, Iraq, Lebanon they are killing and attacking the complete country, instead they can had a talk and discuss. But intentionally they are simply raging a war against that country. They are actually promoting terrorism to spread and disturbing peace. As terrorism in India it was clear evidence that it was Indian politician who are promoting terrorism, Did u find the solid proof of events which Was happened in India in Gujarat, Sabarmati Express, Boforce, Khandar hijacking, Bombay recent Blast and so many uncountable. So Mr. Mir is not supporting terrorism he just giving u the statistic. When India was ruled by British Indian peoples fighting for there freedom this Britishs called them terrorist but we people called them DASH BAKHAT(Freedom fighter).Then why we are calling those people as terrorist when they are fighting for there country with them. As I already cleared u above regarding India. There are some people who are using the light of terrorism for the sake of there own benefit..
well well well !nice try!! few question for mr hamid. 1} y only islam has to react/respond in such a violent way? 2) y wherever there is significant chunk of muslim population , there is violence? 3) what is contribution of islam to humanity?? 4) y all the link to islamic jehad violence points toward pakistan?
u people dont want to mix in society,want to dress differently,dont give much imp to education,want to live in ghetto,that is goin to result in backwardness then u people will blame every country in this world for failure of ur society, and start jehad.
Mir u seems to b educated,which is rare thing in ur religion, go read ur holy book,i m sure u have not read it till now, and try to find out what is written in that book, if u can call it a abook, for humanity, for other religion, for women, for ur salvation. !! ull get ans of all q asked above!! Islam is root cause of maximum problem world is facing 2day. Things written in that book, which is driving force for most of ur religious people is simply incompatible with 2days world!! Do some introspection!!
