#1 Your comments are very harsh but for anyone who has no idea of the ground realities he can only comment like that. Pakistan is a religious country, it was created on the basis of religion, so it is the raison d'etre of its existence. How do you expect people to give up the very reason of their existence. No religion advocates violence and so is true for Islam, infact the very name stands for peace. The recent spate of violence involving some muslims does not mean that all are like that. As far as your remarks about Pakistani kids going to seminaries and learning to aim at targets 300 yds away is again without realizing who put them on this track. It was the USA which funded their training to fight their war against the Soviets, since that day there is no looking back. Successive governments have exploited this for their mean ends. It is good tat people are discussing the issue and I am sure that after the discussion they will realize that it is not the commopn Pakistani who is to be blamed for this mess but the regimes.
