Cincinnati, OH, USA The US media have reported the Sabarmati Express passengers as "Hindu activists," as though they were followers of Mohandas Gandhi. These "activists" were anti-Muslim, fundamentalist Hindus and should be labelled as such. Instead, the US media imply that the 73 Thomas Hirata Godhra Muslims acted without provocation. This is akin to the Voorhees, NJ characterization of Afghans and Pakistanis predominantly as militant Muslims, which fuels the animosity against Afghanistan and the Islamic world. The US gov't & media, and the global community must act to hold all accountable for the violence in Gujarat. 74 Arun Taneja Somebody has to pay for what happened in Gujarat 75 Shahid Siddiqi Peace on earth, pary for paece for all people 76 Salman Hyder USA 77 Aamir Qureshy Mt.
