BREITBART: Six degrees of Imran Khan

"Among those in attendance at the star-studded premiere Wednesday evening was Bollywood's "new heartthrob" Imran Khan, who proudly posed for paparazzi donning a T-shirt with Mr. Bush's face sandwiched between the words 'International Terrorist.' "And, like their Hollywood counterparts, the Bollywood thespians appear predisposed to blame everyone but the culprit." Why am I not surprised? In this era, whatever the going term for it is now--both "modern" and "post-modern" having been used up--it appears that, with a very few exceptions, a prerequisite for being an actor, actress, singer, musician, etc., is to be blindly on the side of those who would in fact make most of what the entertainment industry does verboten. Extreme liberalism results in extreme socialism, which is what has been euphemistically called "communism," from the late 19th century to present. If they have their political way, all the thespians, and their brothers and sisters in other performing arts, in short order will be either out of work, or in prison.

"When will these politicians realize and admit that terrorists have no religion. Terrorists are not Hindu or Muslim or Christian. They are not people of religion or God. They are people who have gone totally sick in their head and have to be dealt with in that manner." I find it amazing that the weekly death toll of 'the war on drugs', in Mexico alone, is the same as this one skirmish. But if its lunatics masquerading as Muslims, then all if Islam is responsible. How about all of America being responsible for the anti-drug terrorism that probably causes the sodomizing rape of millions of children worldwide? Balanced reporting in a 'free' press from a 'free' country? I don't think so.

I feel this article is biased and highly improper. First of all, Muslims are not a minority in India. In fact, India has a larger of percentage of Muslims than Pakistan itself. And, I apologize if I misunderstood but are you actually implying the the Bollywood actor, Imran Khan or someone in his family, SHOULD have died in this quote "Mr. Khan might have been spared only because Kasab and his cohorts failed to reach their death quota." That's pretty unnecessary. Not everyone has to be a fan of Bush, and being targeted for wearing shirt while we have polls on every site saying "Punch Bush and Win an Ipod." Very hypocritical. How was Mr. Khan supposed to know that there would be attacks on his fellow citizens that day itself. It's biased to pinpoint on a person just because he or she is a Muslim. Also, how are the actors pinpointing the blame "everyone else but the culprits." I believe they are saying that we should unite from the within from the terrorism and not fall apart. India has never stood together against an enemy, all religions together, and so the actors do have a point in saying that. If you do not know how the Indian political system works, I seriously believe you should not comment on that. I have lived fifteen years of my life in India and I can assure that it has more corruption that the whole North America combined! They are not pretending that George W. Bush is the reason for the terrorism, the actors have acknowledged they are terrorists and not the American president. And, for Imran Khan's shirt, it's a JOKE. Take it like one, don't produce unnecessary articles. That's all.

"I feel this article is biased and highly improper. First of all, Muslims are not a minority in India. In fact, India has a larger of percentage of Muslims than Pakistan itself. " -satk I find that my fellow Indian compatriots tend to exaggerate reality in order to portray India as some already-arrived-superpower/debutant. Muslims ARE a minority in India, and HINDUS are the majority, satk. Further, Pakistan is 97% Muslim, yet you are telling us that India is >97% Muslim?| | I agree with you that India never stands united, and that religion, caste, language, class, and skin color form impenetrable barriers to social cohesion that Westerners rarely see. It really is a shame that the wealthy, upper caste Indians are portraying India as some socially progressive nation, because then international pressure to reform the near-slave status of untouchables/tribals wears off - in fact they are now emphasizing the existence of anti-discrimination laws without noting that they are never ever enforced. They also claim that wherever caste exists, it is only in rural areas, as if the urban poor are not crushed by the social restrictions of caste. They've even gone so far as to say the caste system was an outside invention (based on the portugese word for color) and is not a native Indian tradition!! India is a horrendously corrupt country that will only reform if forced to do so by the outside world. Indians in America are doing a disservice to India by hiding all the terrible flaws and miserable reality that exists. Instead of boasting that 300,000,000 people are middle-class, we should perhaps focus on the 700,000,000 that live on less that $2/day. However, the Indians here tend to come from wealthy parts of India and upper classes, so they have very little reason to overturn the system since it works so well for them. India is nowhere near being a stable country, let alone a world superpower.
