...data aren't the only ways to combat terrorism; there's also the matter of changing minds. Most Saudis greatly resent the implication that Wahhabism, the puritanical brand of Islam practiced in the kingdom, has any connection to terrorism.

I feel it has been purposely exaggerated to create a wrong impression of the city and of the Muslim world. Karachi does have law-and-order problems, but not to this extent. So far, during the first 17 years of my life, all spent in Karachi, I have never?and, I am sure, never will?witness what you describe. Social work is taking place in Karachi, which is now the main seaport, industrial and financial...
