Most Muslim scholars and leaders try to explain Muslim decline through the prism of the injustices of colonialism and the subsequent ebb and flow of global distribution of power. But Muslims are not weak only because they were colonized. They were colonized because they had become weak.

The IDI should reread and study the principles on which Israel was founded and then perhaps it will mobilize its energies for peace and human rights and cease drafting bizarre agreements between the religious and the secular, between Jews and Arabs, between a regime of religious establishments and those who wish to live as free individuals unencumbered by the yoke of religion and ritual. Israel urgently needs a struggle for human rights – for all individuals – a struggle against discrimination, against degradation, against arrogance. And Israel especially needs peace and open debates.

Ayaz Amir, Dawn:
It would also help if Pakistani journalists given to parroting the American line on Afghanistan (friendship deterring me from naming them) were to stop insinuating that elements within the Pakistani intelligence community are helping the Taliban. If they are helping the Taliban, there would have been no need to get 700 of our soldiers killed in Waziristan.
Currying favour with foreigners is a time-honoured Pakistani pastime but it shouldn’t be carried to the extent where it begins to harm the country. Let the New York Times and the Washington Post say what they will. We should be more careful about our own utterances.
