#1 "The West has to understand that it needs to respect and support Muslims as well"

Herein lies the basic problem with the mooks, they ~~want~~ demand respect and support, but refuse to reciprocate that courtesy. They could all succumb to typhus for what I care.

#2 She feels that Pakistani society has completely failed to bring up its children with the sensibilities that should have come post-Partition

For first and fundamental causes, see your madrassas and the intolerance and hate they teach.

#3 A lot of leftists think Islamic terrorism began with the jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Its true that the Soviet takeover there figuratively lit a match to the tinder of Islamic radicalism in Pakistan. However, what the leftists refuse to acknowledge is the many, many episodes of jihadic terror and the tens (maybe hundreds) of millions of deaths caused by the past 1400 years of jihad.

#5 You just have to go back to the when Pakistan was made a State to fine out about Muslim violence. Look what happened to the Hindus living there at the time.

#7 'I am alarmed at the ferocity of people who think they are good Muslims'.

I'm not. If a good muslim is one that puts into practice the dictates of his/her scripture, then why be surprised at any manifestation of ferocity?

The likes of OBL, Zawahiri, Samir Kantar (list goes on and on)...those boys are the "good" muslims. Authentic. Orthodox.
