Sounds like you just haven’t met a level-headed scholar yet and it isn’t surprising considering you live in Pakistan, they must be scarce in a society that’s so torn apart because of a bazillion issues. Hanson, being an American himself, has also condemned the US foreign policies but he also believes that the US way of living is more close to the Muslim way, there’s less corruption, less injustice etc and this is something I agree wholeheartedly with despite not being a fan of America’s role in world politics. Also, Hanson is not only well-travelled but well aware of other cultures too having lived, studied and taught in the Middle East and Africa for many years. He’d definitely know a thing or two about the problems you face in Pakistan.
You tell me. Which is more damaging out of anarchist terrorism, state-sponsored terrorism, religious terrorism, left-wing terrorism, right-wing terrorism, nationalist terrorism etc? From what I understand, you blame the majority of the world’s ugliness on the rightists. As far as I’m concerned, neither group is all that masoom and it depends on what society you’re talking about. In Afghanistan, it is religious terrorism that has resulted in the most damage. In Ireland, it is nationalist terrorism at the hands of IRA that has resulted in more innocent people being killed than any other form of terrorism. Just because you don’t hear masaladar news on the international media about bombs being planted across Ireland doesn’t mean it isn’t happening as we speak. Hillary aunty visited Northern Ireland last week and the IRA welcomed her with a bomb plot which thankfully was foiled just hours before she arrived otherwise the consequences would have been extreme.
