| Osama's death bad, India biggest threat, say Pakistanis Posted: 22 Jun 2011 01:32 AM PDT 
WASHINGTON: Most Pakistanis see India as a bigger threat than the Taliban and the al-Qaida and disapprove of the US military operation that killed Osama bin Laden, according to a new poll. Although al-Qaida leader bin Laden has not been well-liked in recent years, a majority of Pakistanis describe his death as a bad thing. Only 14 percent say it is a good thing, according to a poll released on Tuesday by the Pew Research Centre. Moreover, many Pakistanis believe the US raid on bin Laden's hideout, which was located about 35 miles from Islamabad, will have a negative impact on the already strained relations between the US and their country. The poll also indicates that concerns among Pakistanis about an extremist takeover and support for using military force against extremist groups are slipping, but the groups themselves remain widely unpopular. Just 12 percent of Pakistanis have a positive view of al-Qaida, down from 18 percent in 2010. Only 12 percent give the Taliban a favourable rating with both Pakistan based Tehrik-i-Taliban and the Afghan Taliban getting similarly low levels of support. There is somewhat more support for Pakistan based Lashkar-e- Taiba group held responsible for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Currently, 27 percent have a positive opinion of the terror outfit. Results of two surveys conducted in Pakistan by Pew's Global Attitudes Project also show that Pakistani views of traditional rival India have grown increasingly negative in recent years with three-in-four expressing an unfavourable opinion of India, up from 50 percent five years ago. When asked which is the biggest threat to their country, India, the Taliban, or al-Qaida, a majority of Pakistanis (57 percent) say India, the poll noted. Still, roughly seven-in-ten say it is important to improve relations with India, believe increased trade with their neighbour would be a good thing, and support further talks to reduce tensions between the two countries, the Pew poll said. Similarly, Indians express negative opinions of Pakistan; 65 percent have an unfavourable view of their traditional rival and more name Pakistan as India's biggest threat (45 percent) than name Lashkar-e-Taiba (19 percent) or Naxalites (16 percent). Yet, like Pakistanis, Indians would like to see improved relations between the two countries and most support increased trade between India and Pakistan. |

Mohammad . . : on one hand never get sounds, sabiha sultana . . : / Zakir Bipul . . : Sayeed should be punished..no doubt. But it is really tough to believe human being, now-a- days. We like to believe Rumana...but....it is tough to believe that without any reason Sayeed became too cruel! Md. Aminul Haq Shohag . . : Mohammad . . : but i am really sorry for this and also five years old child. however, who will believe that without any complex reasons, who want to kill their wife. . . : ; Sonia Sharmin Islam . . : , ? ' ' ?? , ..... ... ... !! Telapoka . . : ''one hand can't make sound''??! what is this?many people, even some of my friends harbor this type of mentality. From my point of view, i know how much tolerant the Bangali women are. Whenever I am angry and behaved rough with my wife,she has tolerated it and when I become calm, I say sorry to her. But I know if I were in her place I couldn't have tolerated that much as she does. Mrs Rumana tolerated the man for years and she was still tolerating. It was Sayed who actually gave an end to this relationship by being violent. Otherwise we might never know about Mrs. Rumana. She would have tolerated him forever. . . : Something really happened between them. I get speechless whenever i read such news. Sikandar Ali . . : Mohammad/Md. Aminul Haq Shohag/Zakir Bipul/ , - !!!!!! AFM Mahfuzur Rahman . . : zinia . . : he must punish for his act. No mercy.. . : No comments, but I am very sad why did it happened. I believe both of them were good person. But may be things were not going in order. I hope Rumana will get back her vision. BOSS . . : - - shoaib. . : No doubt….I expect exemplary punishment for his cruelty and inhumanity but I can' t avoid the authentic reasons of it. I hope to journalist please reveal the real causes behind it and don' t publish one sided news.

Imtiaz Wadud . . : No one has right to destroy the eyes of another human being which is creation of mighty Allah. This is the main fact here. Whatever there other hidden reason behind this incident Sayeed should punished for this reason. RF . . : I completely agree with you Mohammad. Mohammad Rahman . . : , , , Mohammad Nurul Islam . . : just rumana is a teacher of du. so that so much news is come to the people. . . : Sabiha, talk to a point. make comment only on the issue. the way u blame all husband and religion, this is totally unacceptable. I think every single person got sock for the incident home and abroad. but some people like you try to blame all men, again some stupid men try to blame all women in general. so be wise and make comment. Parvez . . : may be there some reasons... but, how a man(not a man) can torture on his wife like animal.. the only punishment is "EYE FOR EYE".. Trino . . : priobhasini . . : Md. Shamim Hossain . . : Cosidering both side and thinking about their daughter, I will say, they should give another oppertunity to start their lives. And I am sure that this will not happen again. TAPAN AHMED . . : Paul Romit Deuri . . : @Mr. Mohammad, Mr. Zakir--Mr Sayed(culprit) in not the only one in our country.He has many a friends((culprit)) like you.Shame hasan morshed . . : even though sayeed was so much wrong but it should find real cause between sayeed and rumana.mohammed ibrahim . . : !!!!!! . . : Hope that court will judge the matter fairly and precision will come to the light.

Al-Mamun . . : Asad . . : ? - Mamun Khan . . : , , Chintito . . : , , !! zakir . . : Rumana should have divorced him long time ago after discovering that he is not a nice person. She made a mistake! Divorce was better than this! Rasel Hamid . . : It really does not matter that you can clap in one hand or not. It is just a reflection of social degradation in Bangladesh. When in a country, money is the only way to judge people and sex is the prime entertainment, similar things are happening and will happen. Some stories come in media and we jump on that. Thousands of male and female suffers, not to this extent though, cries silently. . . : Rumana's judgement of selecting this man is terrible. But this does not mean that barbarism should be inflicted on her. No human being deserves what Rumana is going through. REZAUL HOQUE . . : Frustration, Ego, Jealous..................... OK.....................but this way..........no never.................Coward Shafiqul Islam . . : this is very painful. in conjugal life, very bad situation is created sometimes from very small cause. i think that there was a misunderstanding between them. the cause was perhaps higher education of rumana. but no doubt that sayeed has committed crime and must be punished. we all couple need to take lesson from this very painful event. MD. MONERUJJAMAN . . : I think it' s a personal opinion side (comment) side. So please don' t use another commentator name his personal comment, only input own opinion. Moshiur Rahman Jewel . . : It is really bad incident & totally unacceptable. But it is really thought to believe human being. I believe in our country so many Sayeed is suffering from there wife, but they are not sharing these issue to others & if it is shared to family like parents or some of friends, also they can' t give any good solution, cause it is very sensitive issue!!! Actually such kinds of issue like his wife have habituate to adultery. I believe Rumana also created some bad incident which is makes day by day big issues. We all of us need to alert & be aware from such kind of bad incident. Thank you in advanced all of you for your consciousness!!!!! Mahbubur . . : Those who are searching for reason what happened, don't you see there is nothing has to do with what he did to his wife. What reason could be justified to chew wife's body and make someone blind? You guys are pathetic! Justice will be served if he get punished for what her husband did to her. Proof that he is the one did it, that's all should be matter, not why he did it. There is no why, no reasoning, he is heinous criminal. . . : How can a human does such an inhumane thing? There is a violent, pervert thing inside sayed and so in those people who support sayed. How can people even ask question about rumana when she became blind. She won't be able to see her daughter grow. Her world is black now. When I think about that and place myself in her place then I think death is better than blindness. I feel so sorry when people support sayed. Where are our society heading? Please think about your mother, sister and your precious daughter. What you will do if it happens to them? Saiful Alam . . : ..... Mohd. Dulal . . : , , - adom . . : ? ? ? md arif miah . . : stupid aminul , never write any comment. i think you &hasan sayed same |
