I believe this is only the beginning. The "faustian deal" made by the government of Pakistan with the Talliban -- ceding control over the northern provinces is an indicator of more to come. The central government is caving in and the center will not hold. This news is a great concern.

Now that it looks like the NWFP is going to be the focus point of war, I expect all manner of craziness to happen. London will probably be targeted by fundamentlists as well.

I really liked what the news correspondent had to say about the effect of democracy in India. Even politicians have to change and move away from anti-Muslim messages, and his recognition of the fact that moderate Muslims will also be victimized by these developments. But --- this is not just about Pakistan or just about India. As you point out, all countries of the world have a stake in this.

If we had not invaded Iraq and had stayed in Afghanistan, perhaps this may have been avoided along with other attacks around the world including in London and recently in Mumbai. Our previous govt has helped in recruiting the extremists and thanks to the invasion of Iraq, UK and other European countries have become the hubs.

Well the basic question is why This always happen in muslim countries.In pakistan Hindu sikh minorities are down to just 1-2% from 15-20% at the time of partition and Hindu population is down to 8.5% from 22.7 % in bangladesh.The whole world should ask muslim
countries that they should give minorities space ,freedom and chance to grow.The muslims
that actually support this are moderate.Unfortunately there are not muslims in world who actually support this

Thanks for your insight.

The above numbers prove that Islam- the religion, the way it is projected is not for harmony amongst humans of other religions.

What the white man did in the Americas and other parts of the globe was for the economic reasons. There was no dogmatic ideology although religion, in this case, Christianity was used as a carrot and stick tactic in some parts.

Islam has not evolved with time because it is mainly based on impositional force which breeds violence. Now Muslims want to impose Sharia law in the UK. If it is allowed there then it will creep into other European countries.

The interesting part is that we, as Baana wearing Sikhs can assimilate in any part of the world where as Muslims who mainly dress like the majority can not.

Unless Islam changes its ideology and finds goodness within, things will get worse. Christianity has been able to do that, so can Islam.

After all, all 3 Semitic religions have the same roots so they are capable of bearing the sweet berries of love,understanding and acceptance.

problem of islamic fundamentalism started after 70s when countries like saudi arabia actually started promoting wahabi islam all over the world with oil money.
