Prof Pervez Hoodbhoy of Islamabad University has been a harsh critic of Pak policies of using terror as a policy instrument. In fact, a German online publication carried one such interview.<br /><br />Please check the following links and also watch the video:<br /><br />http://www.riazhaq.com/2008/12/pervez-hoodbhoy-on-mumbai.htmlRiaz Haqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522781692886598586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-33438994396502485162009-09-02T14:20:58.450-07:002009-09-02T14:20:58.450-07:00Obama want to win the hearts and minds of Muslim w...Obama want to win the hearts and minds of Muslim world. That is good. It is upto Muslims to improve the tarnished image of Muslim world. We still don't hear any respectable Pakistani intellectual who condemned or admitted their country's role in terrorism including that in Mumbai. I as a Muslim would say that we cannot always silence the critics using Israeli Palestinian problem.<br /><br />Meanwhile, during every Ramadan, there are abundant Iftar parties in New Delhi - thrown by PM's office to Sonia Gandhi to even by BJP. Non Muslims, both in US and India would rightfully count all these as blatant appeasement of Muslims unless the situation of non Muslims improve in Muslim lands - especially in the land of "custodian of two holy lands", where even a private makeshift Hindu temple in Riyadh was raided by Mutawwafs and those Hindus were deported. I find it despicable that Saudis funded 100s of Mosques throughout the non-Muslim world while conveniently ignoring that such luxuries are not granted in their own country..<br /><br />http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_27-3-2005_pg7_36 <br /><br />Zen, Munich, GermanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
