WE need an alliance of moderation

Dear Nibal,

As an Indian muslim I am aghast at the manner in which the US has been propping Islamic States and regimes in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia muslims which have a declared state policy of supporting Islamic terrorism world wide and inciting other communities in India as well as world over with their Jehadi training camps.

Insteading of doing something to let the moderate and secular muslims and democracies be internationally recognized as the true representatives of the muslim states, US has wrongly supported despots and dictators. Now that these regimes and the Jehadis created by them is turnung their hate towards the US and the West , everybody is waking up from their slumber.

Now they are crying for the alliance of moderates while continuing support to despotic Pakistani Jehadi General Musharaff.

Unless the West and its media understands that their Foreign Policy based upon their caricature of Islam and muslims only helps consolidate the extreme Jehadis and makes the moderates redundant , they would keep on producing more Jehadis who would come back for them....
