Has anyone noticed that Taliban apologists like Imran Khan and Ansar Abbasi come up with all kinds of strange sociological and political arguments in defence of Taliban terrorism. But they just cannot muster the moral courage to condemn the actual perpetrators of the acts of terrorism. A better example of hypocrisy is hard to find. -MUHAMMED UMER FAROOQ, Dammam, Saudi Arabia, via e-mail, April 6.
