Pakistan's serious Jew hatred

Submitted by Vijay (United Kingdom), Jul 23, 2009 at 14:40

Even though Pakistan has no border or any other substantive issues with Israel or Jews, it has not prevented Pakistanis from adopting , in fact, mimicking virulent Jewish hatred found in the Middle-east. (which Dr.Pipes says ME has been mimicking Tsarist Russia and medieval Europe).

Two examples: The killing of the journalist Daniel Pearl, for no reason other than he being a Jew . He was probably agnostic in his persuasions. The second example: During the recent Pakistani Islamist terrorist attack on Mumbai, in spite of very limited resources, time and lots of potential targets in Mumbai, a 2 member terrorist squad was sent to the home of a Jewish couple to kill them. If a terrorist outfit can allocate a large part of it's mission, time and manpower to the killing of a couple just because they were Jews, one can understand the depth of their hatred.
