LetsDiscuss: Calling all Pakistanis

Thomas Freidman has aptly summed up the duplicity of the response of muslims in general tot he isues of terrorism.While a cartoon is protested by mass protests,the killings of innocents in a neighbouring country are protested by only mild statements in the english media while the majority of the countrymen continue to deny any hand of Pakistani nationals in the attacks.A must read.
