[Comment on>ARNAOUT SENTENCED TO ELEVEN YEARS in 
PRISON]

There can be little doubt that these attacks on 
Muslim charities are meant to cripple Muslim efforts 
to help the needy. By CONTRAST, 
AMERICAN 
JEWS are 
funneling huge funds every year to the criminal state 
of 
Israel.
Yes!  Very true, and not only money.  As has been 
frequently reported, many American Jews go to "Israel" 
on their summer vacations and serve in the 
Zionist 
occupation army "for fun".  A Jewish executive in one 
a big New York company did just that and it was widely 
reported in the press.  Apparently pointing guns at 
Palestinian 
women and children gives such sick 
individuals some sort of pleasure.
Yet for actual involvement in a 
military occupation 
that even the US government does not officially 
accept, these people are held to be guilty of no crime 
whatsoever and are even showered with favourable 
publicity.

WHY CORRUPTION IN 
PAKISTAN?
[Letter from London, England]
You have spoken about secularism. 
I want to ask about something more basic, that is 
simply honesty and decency (i.e. the opposite of 
corruption).
We often hear Pakistanis say that the West has the 
manners of islam but no God. We have God but no manners.
The question is, if people know their behaviour is 
wrong, why don't they change it themselves?  Also if 
they admire the absence of corruption of the West, why 
don't they ape this aspect?
You said their are decent people like tabligh in 
pakistan. If they live amongst the people why doesn't 
their example change anything?
Salaam,
shoaib
