Narrow minded people reside on both sides of the border (you present yourself as a good example of an ignorant indian) and so do broad-minded enlightened people.

Congratulations Tahir.Great Article! You went wrong in the last sentence. "But I am sure there must be a giant mandir (an opposite of what I had visited) somewhere in the world that every despotic ruler of the world, whatever their religion, devotedly visits and there must be a priest there teaching all of them the same lessons." It would be appropriate to replace the word Mandir with Mosque. You have forgotten what the lesson preached by the priest in the small mandir. In mandirs souls are tended not suicide bombers.

Mr. Tahir, it would be better if you compare Burma with India, where the brutality against Muslims are taking place under states umbrella. it would be better if you included incidents of demolishion of Babri masjid by Hindus. The massacre of Muslims in Gujrat were underway by Hindus besides looted & burnt their properties. when massacre of muslims took place in Asaam. Indeed the extremist Hindu state was involved in all incidents. Remembering that Govt. of Pakistan doesn't involved or support any kind of terrorism, neither sectarian nor against minorities.
It is totally unfair to draw the case of Burma as sectarian unrest. Its genocide of Muslims by the military, religious groups (Budhists) & the goverment.

Hope that Mr. Tahir will write on these as well.

where were the courts & state of India when Babri masjid was being demolished Hindus? when Muslims massacre in Gujrat were underway by Hindus besides looted & burnt their properties? when massacre of muslims took place in Asaam? Indeed the extremist Hindu state was involved in all incidents. so we should compare Burma with India, where the brutality against Muslims are taking place under states umbrella. For your information Govt. of Pakistan doesn't involved or support any kind of terrorism, neither sectarian nor against minorities.

My dear Zubair, perhaps you do not know Pakistan and you live in Defence schemes somewhere in Karachi or F7 markaz of Islamabad.
