Dear Prof Pipes,
Glad you mentioned Khaleda Zia's govt. among the totalitarian regimes.The Hindu suffering in Bangladesh doesn't get any publicity.

Islam's enemy is not only the West but all infidels including the Hindus.

I have an impression that the West doesn't bother about the sufferings of the Hindus. I,as a Hindu, am perhaps knocking at the wrong door.

Regards, Sincerely, S.C.Panda
