It seems that in Iraq more muslims are killed by their brothers then by the americans. Furthermore shia got finally have a say in the Iraqi government they did not have during Saddam era.
In Afghanistan taliban started to kill people for less than a covert glance from burka. Not only that but Taliban nowadays exports and produce drugs which then go through Iran. It can afford to buy ammunition thanks to that export, but thanks to than export people of Iran have one of the highest incidence of drug use in the world. And it also affects Pakistan, more and more Pakistanis are drug addicts, although the data is difficult to get.
Chechnia was ok (they hated russians, and they tried to fight for their country) Then come “afghans” with money from Gulf States. Now, Chechnya is in poor state, much worse then before and I think that many of chechiens hate equally your arab brothers and ruskies. In fact they hate everybody equally, the people who try to help them, the people who they fight and the people who help them fight.
There are no headless terrorists, there are terrorists supported by community who has as its motto “don’t tell on your brother”, “don’t say bad things about your brothers to others”, “don’t talk” If terrorists were not supported by money they wouldn’t be able to do what they do. So tell me who gives them money for ammunition, for living, for training – a tiny people from mars?
Oh, and talking about philistine – recently there was an article in a news. Hamas prevented people from Gaza to go for hajj because they were supposed to go with people from West Bank (PA). The title in as sharq al awsad is “has hamas lost his mind” That is your philisitne?

And Dario is right. Guardian was always left-leaning, and it is his policy to try to find justification for excesses of believers of certain religion…..as is the policy of BBC, as admitted by one of its honchos.

That is beside the point. My point is, every religion is minority in some country and majority in another. And minorities in every country get harassed either directly or indirectly; and that is not due to their religion but because they are less in number. This sounds bad but that is a reality. Even in western countries, you will find minority groups which are regularly complaining of harassment.

But except Muslim majority countries, no majority country supports or helps terrorist attack on another country where they are the minorities. Can you deny that? And as for facts, I can give you many but you will deny them as biased because they are from western or Indian media. As for the media in your country, can you tell me why Shahriyar Kabir was arrested?

Now tell me, should I start giving money and support to Hindu groups who will avenge them by bombing innocent people in Dhaka. Because that is exactly, according to you is the reason for Mumbai attack

London’s Evening Standard on 28 November, besides The Daily Mirror and The Telegraph on the 29th November were all keen to claim a scoop for reporting an alleged (but unsubstantiated) link between the culprits in Mumbai with Britain’s Muslim communities.

One is surprised how armchair commentators are being accorded spotlight for idle second guessing and lazy finger pointing. Among hasty commentators, Douglas Murray wrote a comment piece in the Daily Express dated on the 29th November, while Ed Hussain volunteered his two cent’s worth on Channel Four News on the 29th November.

Sections of the US electronic media too appeared desperate to offer anything that could attract viewers to their channels. On Friday 28 November,CNN’s Sitauaion Room was still running several hours old footage as live, ‘breaking news.’ Perhaps the ethical need to clearly identify items recorded earlier was set aside in the rush for ratings. Credibility did not appear as a high priority during those hours for many eager to jump the guessing game bandwagon.

Think tanks and the media, which advance “form over substance, celebrity over ideas” plague the public discourse, warn Stefan Halper and Jonathan Clarke adding: At times of crisis, the nuanced and expert advice of — “career professionals, scholars, analysts and others working in government and at universities and think tanks — is sidelined or ignored, while emotional sloganeering is amplified by 24/7 cable news and Internet chatter that prize raucous confrontations between fervent avatars of the right and the left. Reasoned analysis is shoved to the sidelines, and critics of the party or faction in power are often accused of being unpatriotic or disloyal.”

Can one expect that views of genuine experts will be solicited by the media to offer cautious, well-informed and learned opinion about something they have evidence for?

According to him
“India meanwhile continues to make matters worse by its ill-treatment of the people of Kashmir, which has handed to the jihadis an entire generation of educated, angry middle-class Muslims. One of the clean-shaven boys who attacked CST railway station – now named by the Indian media as Mohammad Ajmal Mohammad Amin Kasab, from Faridkot in the Pakistani Punjab – was wearing a Versace T-shirt. The other boys in the operation wore jeans and Nikes and were described by eyewitnesses as chikna or well-off. These were not poor, madrasah-educated Pakistanis from the villages, brainwashed by mullahs, but angry and well-educated, middle-class kids furious at the gross injustice they perceive being done to Muslims by Israel, the US, the UK and India in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kashmir respectively.” He adds “In the months ahead, we are likely to see a security crackdown in India and huge pressure applied to Pakistan to match its pro-Indian and pro-Western rhetoric with real action against the country’s jihadi groups. But there is unlikely to be peace in South Asia until the demands of the Kashmiris are in some measure addressed and the swamp of grievance in Srinagar somehow drained. Until then, the Mumbai massacres may be a harbinger of more violence to come.”
Now can you please read the matter posted by me.? Are we still able to get to the roots of the problem?
Please take some time and get yourself educated about the subcontinet and Middleeast political situation.

Od course, americans are so naive and/or stupid that they still lead in science and technology.

As for american newsmen who stay at american hotel – last year BBC was covering events in Pakistan (a fight between army and tribal people). Their reporter said that they could reach the the place only by helicopter. At the same time a reporter from Denmark made unobstructed way there driving by car on the road. You also forgot, conveniently, long dead journalist, Daniel Pearl, who did not stay at the american hotels – he ended up dead.

finally you are forgetting that most journalists are using a “natives” to help them find their way around, for knowledge of people/customs and sometimes for translation purposes.

JZ
Give me a break. The biggest number of muslims killed is killed by their brothers, muslims.

And finally, I hope that we all will get a good information who, exactly, did the atrocities in Mumbai, but at the moment everything points out on muslim terrorist group probably backed by pakistan.

When American newsmen visit India they stay at an American hotel and do as little real investigative reporting as possible. If the body count is not American most good Christian White people do not give a bug.

Do you expect Americans to have some historical knowledge of India, most do not know who is buried in Lincoln’s tomb.
