Show some restraint
by Karthik Sridharan on Jan 18, 2008 11:15 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hey, guys. I understand that you all feel upset at Musharraf for his past and current actions, and much of those feelings are well-deserved. However, I think it's pretty immature and dangerous to make blanket statements about Muslims in general. If you really think about it, most Indians can feel sympathy for the plight of the majority of Pakistani people. They have been subject to over 60 years of life under a series of undemocratic and dictatorial regimes, just as many states in India have been subject to rule by useless leaders over the years. Additionally, it would be hypocritical to characterize all Muslims as being violent; every religion of the world unfortunately has its share of religious extremism.

We feel sympathy for the liberals. But, the way things are going on, they seem to be losing out to the extremist thought leadership. The army and police are demoralized, there are desertions, the militants are able to run over army garrisons with ease, and attack at will. What do you see as response from the Army and the executive? Only talk. The streets are becoming killing fields, and no one knows if the fellow pedestrian is not a suicide bomber.

The liberals are now more concerned with getting Musharraf out than the extremists. That is if you think the legal fraternity.

agree with 100%. I think we should extend our help to pak people who are also our neigbour. An explosion which actually affects a few meter wide, but it can make a sense of, as some thing hapened to all nation. A few people can make havoc in a big city or a nation. It doesnot mean all are terrorists. Just a few people are behind it. They selected it because they know it will affect all the nation. 99% of pak people are innnocent, and we should not be agaisnt them, if possibe we should extend our all help to them.
