December 09, 2008, (Sawf News) - In an interview aired on CNN-IBN on Tuesday, December 8, Salman Khan slammed terrorists but defended Pakistan saying it too was a victim of terrorism.
Salman said Islam does not advocate terrorism and it was up to the people to choose between the ideology of the terrorist preachers and handlers or follow the Quran.
"Pakistan itself is in the grip of terrorism - Benazir Bhutto was killed, multiple attempts were made to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf’s life, the Marriott hotel was blown up.
"Pakistan has no control over terrorism.
“I don’t read Pakistani news papers but when such incidents occur there, do they blame India for it?”
The maverick star also said:
“As long as the terrorists were striking at ordinary people traveling in trains and buses everyone was going about their normal regular lives. Now that the elite don’t feel safe anywhere they will take a stand and the government will listen to them. It is a good thing. However, it would have been so much better if matters had not come to a head like this.”
He said the truth.
common Pakistanis and the civilian govt didnt have any hand in it, at all.
i dont get the terrorist mentality, though.
they speak as if they are the protector of the Muslim world, and then kill innocent Muslims in those Muslim countries only.
just saw the video posted by dapakiguy....gosh salman khan's speaks so nicely...his urdu and english is sooo polished....he talked very sensibly...n it was sooo nice that he talked about pakistan meaning that he knew what has happened in pakistan....love him...thanks for the video
wow, newfound respect for Salman Khan. i totally agree with what he said about govts. taking prompt action now because these terrorists are now targeting the elite more, jab tak poor by-standers were being killed the authorities just kept giving long speeches and no real action was taken. sad.
Salman was too good. I saw Amir khan interview as well. He mentioned the same thing about pakistan suffering from terrorism. Finally two indians who are not blaming pakistan for everything.
