Pakistan ‘supports terrorism’
From Sam Mukerji
Sir: Stephen Schwartz (‘Britain has a unique problem’, 19 August) brilliantly exposes the doctrinal poison coming to us from Pakistan. Over the 1980s and the 1990s there has been evidence to suggest that the radical Sunni community in the UK, US and Canada has funded terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and that the government here has experienced great difficulty in restraining this activity. On the ground in Jammu and Kashmir, innocent shepherds have been slaughtered in their thousands, only because they were Hindus, in order to terrify the rest of the population and force them to run for the plains.
By describing the terrorism in Kashmir as a ‘freedom struggle’ following the Mumbai train blasts last month, Musharraf’s team have revealed once again that they are active supporters of terrorism and thus continue to see eye to eye with Mr bin Laden and the rest of his gang.

Sir: Further to Stephen Schwartz’s piece, I suggest that British strategy in Ireland at the end of the 18th century offers some guidance.
