Salman Khan slams terrorists, defends Pak

December 09, 2008, (Sawf News) - In an interview aired on CNN-IBN on Tuesday, December 8, Salman Khan slammed terrorists but defended Pakistan saying it too was a victim of terrorism.

Salman said Islam does not advocate terrorism and it was up to the people to choose between the ideology of the terrorist preachers and handlers or follow the Quran.

"Pakistan itself is in the grip of terrorism - Benazir Bhutto was killed, multiple attempts were made to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf's life, the Marriott hotel was blown up.

"Pakistan has no control over terrorism.

"I don't read Pakistani news papers but when such incidents occur there, do they blame India for it?"

The maverick star also said:

"As long as the terrorists were striking at ordinary people traveling in trains and buses everyone was going about their normal regular lives. Now that the elite don't feel safe anywhere they will take a stand and the government will listen to them. It is a good thing. However, it would have been so much better if matters had not come to a head like this.

Raksha what's wrong if he's stating his views. How is that going against his country? Is he saying anything against the public? No he's staing a stand against he government, like many stars (srk, saif, aamir)

Okay so he dosent read pakistani news papers...but atleast he must be reading the indian ones right??....so he should get his facts right b4 commenting something like this or he should just shut up! India has evidence against the ppl they are accusing of the crime. anyway I dont think he has any right to speak...he himself has no respect for any living being!!
