i have studied in aligarh muslim university with indian muslims for many years and have a single pakistani fresher in my office in london and my immediate neighbour is a pakistani. Unless one stays in fool's world, one can feel the worst image of pakistanis among all nationalities in UK. After the pakistanis were found involved in 7/7 attacks, indians were particularly affected as people thought every indian was a paki. Many times, white people vacated seat next to me and sat on other seats in train.
That said, I found that pakis were more progressive and accommodating than I had imagined (by no means liberal though) - better on relative scale of expectations yet not normally civilized.
As for what the world thinks of muslims and islam, no surprises there, check out debate on BBC:

don't worry as soon as they come to know that the asian is hindu/sikh, people become very friendly. This is because indians are highly educated and give best results, check this out:
Whereas pakis are least educated and engaged in manual/labour occupations (most barbours are pakis e.g.).
In the entire world and UK, there is no racial abusing term based on a country's name except PAKI. A whole people of pakistan are looked down upon by being called a fuc**ing 'PAKI'.
ISI and by proxy the Islamic establishment in Pakistan, is a state within a state. It does not hesitate to go after its own (Pakistani) leaders/citizens when it sees that they are not working for the strategic goals of the Islamic Ummah. Since their defeat at the hands of a Kafir (Hindu/Sikh) Indian army in 1971, every ISI operation has been directed towards achieving a efficient Jihad worldwide with specific focus on Kafir India.
Initially, the US, like a ignorant fool supported the ISI hoping that it will be a pawn against Communist USSR. Later the Americans and the rest of the world realized the true nature of Islam and the blunder they commited by helping ISI become a monster.
The question of trusting ISI does not arise.
India trusting ISI is like Prithviraj Chauhan trusting Mohammad Ghori....AGAIN.

mistaken you are
There were so many hindus in the train visiting relatives and this is the reason for the blast and not that there were muslims on a large scale in the train. Jehadis are not foolish like Hindus.

Try to understand my friend. If RAW briefs ISI on this they can fine tune their strategy next time based on feedback of this time! Thats why our PM has instituted that joint mechanism to fight terror with PAK. Its like having victim and culprit on the jury.....BIG JOKE MAN.
1. Ban all religious extreamist groups and ban religious political parties from elections. 2. Take out PM post and make it President type rule where people will directly elect the president. 3. Ban regional parties from National election. We had enough from these laloos, yadavs with minority wote bank 4. Declare musharaf as a dectator not a elected president of pak. 5. Put musharaf in most wanted list for his role in kargil war. 6. Severe all ties with Pakistan util democratic elections take place. 7. Rename India with Bharat or Hindustan. ( nothing to do with religion. It is based on its glorious 5000 years of culuture and history). 8. Hunt and nab those who hijacked IA flight and dawood and memon who are responsible for bombay blasts. Go across borders like israel. 9. Go and get LTTE prabakar to indian court for killing exIndian PM. 10. Kick Bangladesh back so that it stops supporting terrorists in assam and other north east. 11. Give fitting reply to Bangla rifles for killing our BSF. 12. Make sure bangladesh knows its history and respect India and knows it place. 13. Take out 370 artical and declare J&K as another normal state. 14. Declare Loc as a International border. 15. Adopt common civil code and 16, Supress ruthlessly any religious terrorism like Gill & beanth singh did in punjab.

India is officialy named Bharat already.. but alas nobody uses it.. as it was given to us by the england. Also .. all the points above stated are no easy to do .. it will create lot of condemnation as our is a democratic society. Not easy to run govt afterall. isnit?
How stupid?? That's what we can expect from Indian investigating team. If they cannot solve the case they easily blame Pak based militants. If Pak based militants were to be involved they would blow up train from pakistan that is coming back to india so that they can maximum indians. why would they blow-up this train to kill their own citizens?? what a cruel joke. It's just like the Malegaon case in which they blamed SIMI and pak militants killing their own muslim brother...what cruel joke...they don't even bother to raid RSS, VHP or shiv sena cells to see for the clue. This shows how indian govt can go as low as this to blame each and everything to pak based militants without any logic. It's well known fact that RSS/VHP/Shivsena/Bajrang dal are not happy with the ongoing peace process with india, but still Indian police is not even suspecting these organization if not raid on their cells. This 3rd time that the terrorist attach occured on muslim targets (delhi jama masjid, Malegaon, now this train) but still pak based militants have been blamed. What else u can expect when Indian police, intelligence is filled with Hindu fundamentalist sympathisers. God save India.

Hi Narmi, I do not agree with your points- Its not a new thing that muslims kills muslims themselves...they just dont care about who will be suffering from the terrorist activities like this...The terrosist leaders have agenda to do some thing against India , they just look at the targets...not at the consequences..whether it kills muslims or pakis or indians..they just dont care about it. Thats why we Indians ask the Muslims to stop any kind of support to Muslim terrorists.....so far they have mostly targeted Hindus only, so you muslims were not so bothered and now atleaset you should bother it since they have started targeting anything against this great country...irrespective whether it will kill Hindus or muslims or christians... So think and act now to stop terrorism..... stop injecting hatred towards kafirs in madrasas, stop injecting hardcore islamism into the young children and try to bring them up as an Indian rather than only Muslim---- think broader and above from the religion...or the kuran.... Take only teh good things from that book, forget the saying ' attack others or kill others if they do criticism of Islam '

You Pakistanis are always ill informed about happenings. The fact that you guys are alleging Indians of causing the blast itself tells it what quality of news and information is available in pakistan. As far as hate against Muslims is concerned, its only against dumb idiots like you and other Muslims whose only motto in life is to raise all teh hue and cry against non muslims. How many of you muslims have gone out and educated your fellow brothers about birth control and giving quality life to their kids? How many of you have asked your fellow brothers to have their daughters educated so they can stand on their feet? None !! If you are concerned about your fellow brothers, go and educate and work for their social upliftment rather than positing stupid comments like these. Rest all will fall into place. !!

first of all my condolonces for the bereaved families.second of all terrorism helps no religion or nation.
ok lets face it together. both India and Pakistan has suffered a human tragedy now. pakistan has started feeling the same pain which India endured al these years. lets not blame each other. lets India use this opportunity to point to Pakistan the inhuman ness of terrorism in wat ever pretext.
im sure Pakistan general public are closer to reality now.

India has repeatedly urged Pak to dismantle terror camps, to handover terrorists and criminals wanted by India but they never shown any willingness. Same as mis-adventure of Kargil these blasts must be known to ISI and Pak army and if I am not mistaken to Musharraf also.
