The truth of the matter is that these psychopathic jihadis kill human beings, not just Christians or foreigners. And contrary to what Mr. Pipes asserts, it's well accepted within Pakistan that the root cause of the violence is Islamic militancy. Sadly, far too many lives were lost before the state was shaken out of its knee-jerk blame-the-Indians mentality.
