Mario only knows that jihad is taught in Pakistani schools because some Fox presenter must have done his own "research" into the matter and presented it as a "fair and balanced" view of the world. I bet at the end of the broadcast there must have been a dire warning, that "we must do something about Pakistan or else?" There is no evidence that Pakistan wants to take over India and impose Islamic law in India. Where did this theory suddenly spring from? Why are we just irresponsibly creating theories out of thin air? Mario responds: Wow! Is such gratuitous and mean-spirited, not to mention factless, codswallop really necessary? Couldn't Selma at least wait to see what I had to say, as shown in the following post, before shoveling this heap of horse manure onto Goanet? http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2008-December/085394.html Selma wrote: On the other hand, we have to be as vocal in condemning militant Islamist groups as we are in condemning militant Hindutva groups. The one terrorist caught alive is a petty thug from the villages of Pakistan. He used to rob people at knife point. It is rather redundant examining profound motives by these people. They are nothing more than hoodlums who don't subscribe to any political ideology, nor are they seeking specific redress. They are psychologically damaged individuals and the sooner we start treating them as the criminals they are, the better it is for all of us. Mario responds: Now that I have my hip waders on, yeah, right, let's treat suicidal terrorists with non-negotiable demands as common criminals. That really worked great for President Clinton throughout the 90's, didn't it? I can see the Lashkar-i-Taiba leaders who follow Goanet, snickering into their beards as their plot their next deadly "criminal" attack on yet another group of innocent Indians:-)) I'm all for bashing the Hindutva's when they step out of line as I have done time and again in this forum, but when was the last time a Hindutva group conducted an indiscriminate suicide attack on innocent civilians with AK-47s and hand grenades? Perhaps Marshall can find us a handful of web links to enlighten us?
