    Can students change when the book they are reading doesn't?

    Taliban 2.0 is a bit like the upgrades to the old Ambassador car…only the front grille changes, everything else remains the same.

    All those with million dollar FBI bounties on their heads are now heading Afghanistan ministries, to be sworn in this Saturday. The Taliban were in power on September 11, 2001. They will be in power on September 11, 2021. 2 towers. 20 years. 2 trillion dollars. 200,000 dead.

    Americans could defeat Taliban in 2001 only because Northern Alliance pitched in. And today they stepped aside to allow Taliban to defeat the Northern Alliance. As the old rogue Kissinger said: "To have America as an enemy may be dangerous, but to have her as a friend is fatal."

    Was it this same compassionate 'Indian Islam' that inspired millions of Indian Muslims to call for the overturning of the Shah Bano verdict, demand a ban on the Satanic verses, orchestrate Kashmiri Hindu exodus, and order Kamlesh Tiwari's beheading? WDTT

    A characteristic Tavleen Singh piece - logical except for the beginning, the middle, and the end. The mind boggles at its vacuity and the peddling of the same old selective trope. Not a single argument provided to counter Indian Muslims who scoff at the term Indian Islam. WDTT

    | It is very worth preserving because Indian Muslims have dealt with the modern world better, and with living among people of other faiths better than Muslims anywhere else in the world. writes

    Comparisons can be tenuous but I rate the performance of our athletes in higher than the Olympics, given that they had to overcome incredible hardships, social stigma and physical pain. Let no one ever again use the term Disabled for our Differently abled champions.

    Here is a man defending the last chunk of Afghan land from the barbarians. Surrounded from all sides, his supply lines cut, his positions pounded every hour, he stands, alone and bloodied and proud. This is the Battle of Saragarhi redux. SHAME on the USA for not helping him.

    Over the past 23 years since start of the Emergency Hospital we never blocked Talib access to it. Talibs are committing war crimes & have zero respect for IHL. We call on UN & world leaders to take notice of this clear criminal & terrorist behavior of the Talibs.
