Indo PakBy: Shri Dixit | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 5:57:49 AM Reply | Forward This is the best example of how to protect one's country! I admire US and President Bush after 9/11 the way US and its citizens are protected. I read some reader's reactions here of people claiming to be "Pakistanis" but could be Indian muslims in disguise spewing venom against Hindus, Christians, Sikhs and some of their own brethern. These guys should know that in eyes of western and US world, Pakistanis are always treated with "suspecious" and after 9/11, some of them went to Canada as they started feeling "heat"! Pakistan is not known for its civility, no industrial base, no scientific achievements except the one they showed through a thief like A.Q.Khan. Pakistanis should also know that they suffered a humiliating defeat in the hands of Indians during 1971 and Kargil wars, with 96,000 of their armymen captured as POWs. By stealing nuclear technology from Dutch lab and exchaning that with missile technology from North Korea do not make Pakistan great!

airline problemsBy: kul bhushan | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 4:57:35 AM Reply | Forward it is really challenge to all .In a country like US , with wide freedoms guaranteed under the law most people want to challenge every infraction.In the scheme of things if it happened in India or Pakistan and China no body would here about it .It is sad at the same time.This exposure make us all aware of the problems in the system.We can learn not to raise false alarm by flaunting our freedoms.Authorities can be more respectful.It is american way to challge authority.It reminds me of old Soviet Joke that like americans they could also curse american president and system.Hope this pendulum swings back to moderation again.

Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo BayBy: P Dalvi | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 3:27:39 AM Reply | Forward If you've seen the film.... you know how this incident must have happened. This is racism being made acceptable under the name of national security... because after all, if a person is brown, and has a muslim sounding - he, therefore, must be a terrorist !!

Indian people to learn a lesson and stay away from minority appeasement just to stay in power.By: gary | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 2:57:42 AM Reply | Forward your minister Antulay can go scot free after dividing India by playing religious card and weakened India's resolve to fight terrorism. This does not happen in USA and that is why we could control these bad elements.

StrictnessBy: Abdul Faiz | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 1:29:23 AM Reply | Forward Whats wrong in being a little cautious about security. from the story it seems they were dis embarked because of there discussions rather than religion. Its not wise to bring in religion everytime.

Muslims removed from US flightBy: Arun | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 1:20:19 AM Reply | Forward It is a shame for US claiming itself to be a democracy-the passengers should sue the airline for insult and harassment

Great incidence, the so called moderate Muxlim must know that they will also pay for terrorism.By: U N S Ecular | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 1:04:53 AM Reply | Forward It was a correct action. Muxlims deserve this. Again and again it has been shown that their so called moderates and professionals, lawyers, doctors, women, children whatever, are a source of insecurity and terror attacks as well. They may call themselves moderates, but have consistently sided with brutal satanic mullas and their jehadis. The so called moderates in Ixlam must realise that they will also pay for the acts of their mullas and co-religionists. If this continues, sooner or later they will consider giving up the evil ideology of Ixlam, and come into mainstream. It is in the interest of civil society to make an Ixlamic life intolerable to root out the viral ideology of Ixlam.

MuslimsBy: zee | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 7:44:56 AM Reply | Forward i saw your remarks today. could you please name a place where muslims are aggressers? was Bhagat singh a freedom fighter or terrorist. having said that i do agree killing of innocent civilians in any form or shape should be hated and condemend, however this should be for all. e.g when israel attacks palestinians cities we use 'veto' to deny un to take any action against it. is not this terrorism??? it is as condemndable as a suicide bomber attack on civilians.regards,

Unfortunate but necessaryBy: Jay | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 0:19:36 AM Reply | Forward There is a reason why US is not attacked after 9-11 and incidents like this are unfortunate but necessary to keep the religious fanatics away from creating havoc as we often see in countries like India.

Nine Muslims removed from flightBy: Ram | Friday , 2 Jan '09 22:53:54 PM Reply | Forward One may argue that Americans are paranoid about their security, but they paid a big price for their generocity over the last many decades. The worst offenders in most of the atrocitie have always been Moslems. It is better to be safe than sorry. Thanks to the strong leadership, culprits in incidents like recent Mumbai terror rarely go unpunished. It is another thing that idiots like Antulay and Laloo can never be leaders in this great country. Some lessons for India to learn.
