read/watch if u want to puke.[right][snapback]64695[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->I was trying to watch a bit of it, but I felt queasy when I saw Teesta Seetalwad (sp?). Since I'd never seen her before, I was not prepared for the .... apparition. No lights on in her head at all.
So I glanced over the ibn article at that link instead. (I expected nothing from the invited Pakistani speaker, so not commenting on that.)
Man that teesta is a whiny little thing. Every now and again she interrupts to add her input into the debate: "Why do you say it was islamic terrorism? Why can't it have been Hindu rightwingers? Why are you saying the only terrorists are islamic terrorists? Why are you not mentioning Hindu rightwingers?"
Sound repetitive? Well, read the article and you'll find she's a person of few ideas beyond this. In fact, it is the sum total of her 'arguments'. Only a christomedia like ibn-cnn (the same that crowned MMS as popularity king even though Modi beat him several times over in their poll) could have invited such a character as this Teesta to play.
But to be fair, let's consider her suggestion, however lame it may be. I've shaken out four-hands-worth of questions below. In each case, choose your answer from
(a) islamics (b) 'Hindu rightwingers' (c ) someone else
There is no time limit. Good luck.
(1) Who attacked the World Trade Centre?
(2) Who killed Theo van Gogh and who killed a member of the Dutch parliament?
(3) Lashkar e Taiyba (Let) has vowed to disintegrate India. What are they?
(4) Australia's sheikhs and muftis who have been offending their host country by insulting Australian women and calling Australians criminals and Jews pigs etc belong to which ideological group?
(5) The Pakistani terrorist Lodhi who tried to blow up an Australian electricity grid is part of which ideological group?
(6) Who are the Sunnis blowing up Shias in Iraq?
(7) Who are the Shias blowing up Sunnis in Iraq?
(8) Who are the Taliban?
(9) The people who planned to kidnap the British muslim soldier in order to behead him for broadcast video, belong to what ideological group?
(10) Who was behind the Varanasi, Mumbai, Malegaon and other blasts?
(11) Who were behind the London bombings?
(12) Who were behind the Bali bombings?
(13) Who are the German citizens who murder their own Turkish daughters/sisters in order to stop them from <i>not</i> wearing the veil or being independent or dating German men?
(14) Who trained and is helping the ULFA militants who are killing the Assamese?
(15) Who trained and is helping the maoists who are terrorising the Nepalese?
(16) Who are the members of the terrorist cell 'Hofstadgroep' in the Netherlands?
(17) Who are behind the 2004 Madrid train bombings that left 191 dead and 1824 wounded?
(18) Who are the people recently suiciding themselves (and taking others with them into the afterlife) in Iran?
(19) What ideological group do the militants terrorising the Phillipinos belong to?
(20) Who are the terrorists blowing up Thai buildings and beheading Buddhist monks in the South of Thailand?
.... (The above is a short sample of a very, very long list)
Now Teesta Seetalwaddle of 'communalism combat' (note the Orwellian name) will no doubt like to argue with all these different countries and governments that they must allow for 'Hindu rightwingers' to have caused all of this... But for people whose mental faculties are not as completely dislocated from reality or for those who have read some of the world news flitting by here and there, the answer is already known. And the answer is neither (b) nor (c ), though I hear Teesta got all the answers wrong (much to ibn-cnn's surprise, they had invited her since they thought she might be an expert on whatever).
