where's the concrete evidence?
by Alina, California on Oct 22, 2005 11:38 PM

" "Volunteers of the Jamatud Dawa saved my life by pulling me out of the rubble. No army, no government helped us," says Rashid Geelani, a retired police officer in Muzaffarabad.

So far, the jihadi groups are focusing on relief to the victims. They have not yet touched on areas like education in their campaign. But all it takes is an appeal through the Friday sermon and people may rush to their madrassas to enroll their children, where they would get education, food and shelter."

How can you be so quick to label humanitarian aid as a way to garner potential "jihadis?" You speculate that 'all it takes is a Friday sermon' to instigate enrolling in madrassas but I don't really see any evidence of that happening. Cite your sources! Where are the quotes that Kashmiris plan on enrolling their kids in terrorist camps just so they can get food, aid, and shelter? This aid they are giving is to give AID... why are you turning it into something it isn't?
