ISLAMABAD: Six in 10 Pakistanis have come out in support of suicide attacks against "enemies" of Islam.

Going by a report prepared by the Washington-based PEW Research Centre, though most people in Muslim-dominated nations are divided over violence against civilian targets, 41 per cent of those interviewed in Pakistan said it was justifiable in the defence of Islam.

According to the Daily Times , which quoted the report extensively, 47 per cent of the Pakistanis said that Palestinian bombings against the Israelis was justifiable, while 36 per cent said it was not.

Six in 10 older Pakistanis said that the suicide attacks against American troops in Iraq was correct, compared with the 44 per cent of those who are younger saying it was not.

1. Using the FMA logic...

By popular vote the Pak government must support Osama now!

2. When Do We Attack?

3. You don't understand this administration

If it indeed works out that Pakistan poses a direct threat to the United States and harbors terrorists intent on attacking us, we'll use that as an excuse to invade Equatorial Guinea. They have lots of oil there.

4. I think it is impossible to avoid

a class of civilization's at this point. After what Osama/Bush have done it's hard to see it not coming to a more direct conflict between the west and the Islamic world.

6. If any country is a danger to the rest of the world it is Pakistan.They

are the ones most likely to produce bomb on order from any of the fanatic Muslim states to wreak vengeance on the West.Their nuclear program is the one that is likely to become the source of terrorist bombs in the near future.

I am not sure where our Republican ostriches have their head buried.May be up Musharraf's rear end.

8. The Times of India

is not exactly reknowned for painting Pakistan in a favourable light. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that this country is just as likely to be the conduit by which terrorists get their hands on nuclear weapons as Iran. Pakistan is highly unstable and is riven by religious and ethnic tensions. It also has played a not insignificant role in promoting Islamic fundamentalism. Certainly, there is a lot more evidence to tie it to the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks than Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

9. Actually,

even though the story appeared in Times of India, the data came from the Pew Research organization and cited extensively by a Pakistani newspaper. I don't see any bias in there other than the fact that they decided to print this story as opposed to ignoring it.

10. Outsourcing to Pakistan

I heard that Pakistanis are now remotely instructing our ambulances where to go in emergencies -- via satellite, I guess. Can you imagine what chaos some of them could cause in case of a major terrorist attack. How about that for Homeland Security? Typical greed. Typical Bush. Typically stupid.
