A wrong impression

Sir, - The murder of 18 Christians in Pakistan is condemnable and evidently is the handiwork of those under the wrong impression that all Christians are with the U.S. President, Mr. George Bush, and all Muslims with Osama bin Laden. I believe that the media has created this war between the Christian West and the Islamic East. The average Christian or Muslim is more concerned about the mindless terrorism, death of innocent people, loss of property and unemployment, be it in the U.S., Kashmir or Afghanistan.

A war should be waged politically against terrorism and its root cause. Those in Pakistan and elsewhere must not be carried away by this fundamentalist and imperialistic propaganda and must desist from targeting innocent minorities.
