“I believe that the world’s greatest practitioner of terrorism must not have the opportunity to develop atomic bombs”
—Netanyahu, israeli Prime Minister (Israel PM: Talks have given Iran a ‘freebie’)
world’s greatest practitioner of terrorism — hmmm, that would be you netanyahu. israel is the greatest practitioner of terrorism carrying out assassinations, bombings and all sorts of diabolical activities across the globe.
Our prime minister solemnly went and assured the United Nations that there should be a plebiscite and he would have a plebiscite in Kashmir. How can you say that these views are seditious or anti-national.
…
I don’t have any regrets, those are my views. I realise that those views are the minority views in the country today.

Prashant Bhushan sticks to stand on Kashmir plebiscite
Meanwhile Anna Hazre stands exposed. Hazare claims to be a fighter for just causes, but has completely and abjectly distanced himself from Bhushan’s moral stand. So much for Mr. Hazare.
Also, goes to show the reach of Hindu extremists. They assaulted Bhushan inside the high security Supreme Court premises, not on a public street. So, they can waltz in anywhere and beat up high profile people, what to say of common people who might have a dissenting opinion.

“If a majority of the ICC countries believe that the DRS is a good improvement for international cricket, they should vote for it and say, ‘Sorry India, you are in a minority.’ It’s supposed to be a democracy around the world, where the majority takes precedence. But there is fear to offend, and some countries are totally afraid to offend India. The sooner they get around to it and say, ‘No. Since a majority of us believe it is good, we’re going to do it,’ the better. Simple as that. India won’t like it, but you can’t be run by one country.”

“Muslim women feel empowered, physically stronger and more successful when they participate in sports and they are trying to find ways not to cross the borders of their cultural/religious obligations. The governing bodies should be more supportive for Muslim women to find ways to be able to play sports in accordance with their religious sensitivities, rather than forcing them to make a choice between the two.”
— Sertaç Sehlikoglu, a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge and the author of the blog Muslim Women in Sports.
“This army is not meant for this. There are no goals, there are no aims. We’re fighting against Muslims. Muslims are killing other Muslims.”

Under US pressure to root out Taliban and al Qaeda-linked networks in its northwest and districts on the Afghan border, more than 2,795 Pakistani soldiers have been killed in fighting since 2004. Another 8,671 have been wounded.
Those official statistics overshadow the more than 2,403 foreign, mostly American, soldiers who have been killed in 10 years in Afghanistan.

“Seven years of war now with Iraq. They did nothing to us. They are totally innocent, and they were just demonized. I’m not saying Saddam Hussein wasn’t a terrible man. But how many thousands of Iraqis did you kill, for what reason?…They’ve never explained the war. No weapons of mass destruction. No ties to Al-Qaeda. What is this? Why are we killing those people. And why are we there?”
