- 01-17-04 Pakistanis Cheer Sharia (BBC News - Anderson)
"The architects of the law say they want a society free of the evil and corruption."
"After decades of misadministration, bribery and soaring crime, not many people object to that."
"But what worries many people is the agenda of the Islamists beyond the Sharia law in the province."
"They look at the imminent introduction of another bill establishing an accountability bureau to promote virtue and police vice, and fear the worst."
" 'Our society is gradually being pushed towards religious totalitarianism - a system that was practised by the Taleban in Afghanistan in a crude form, which is carried out here in a more sophisticated way," said Afrasiab Khattak, head of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.' " "In a show of strength and religious zeal in Peshawar last month, vigilante groups of such radicals tore down posters and billboards depicting women." 1-04

- A Muslim View on Bombing Afghanistan (Chicago Tribune - Fesperman)
Provides the views of Pakistani Muslim graduate students on bombing in Afghanistan and the USA's war on terrrorism. "The overriding emotion of the day was dismay with America's bombing campaign, and with the civilian toll it has taken in Afghanistan." One of the students summarized the meeting between American diplomats and the Pakistani students with saying, 'What has become apparent is this enormous communications gap between ordinary American citizens and ordinary Pakistani citizens.' Pakistan and the USA are allies in fighting terrorism. Editor's Note - Most Muslims in the Middle East get their news from al Jazeera. Al Jazeera has been reporting the Taliban statements on casualties, which, according to American officials, are false. 11-01

- A Muslim View on Terrorism (MSNBC Newsweek)
Provides a Pakistani Muslim view on terrorism. Includes results of a poll to determine Pakistani views on the relationship between Pakistan and the USA on fighting in Afghanistan. A majority of the Muslims were against the terrorist attacks against the USA. Their views on who was behind the attacks on the USA, however, is incredible for Americans. "Almost half of Pakistanis (48 percent) believe that Israel is behind the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Twelve percent blame bin Laden and 25 percent say 'some American group' is responsible for the assaults." There is clearly a huge gap in the Pakistani view of the world and the American view. Pakistan and the USA are allies in fighting terrorism. 10-01
