Miliband faces India media flak
The Indian media have continued their assault on UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband following his comments on the Kashmir issue.
Mr Miliband, who visited India and Pakistan last week, said in a UK newspaper article that solving the dispute would help tackle extremism.
India blames Lashkar-e-Taiba militants, who have fought Indian rule in Kashmir, for the November attacks on Mumbai.
[...]
On Monday the Hindu's editorial said Mr Miliband's visit was an "ill-conceived foray" and criticised the linkage of the Mumbai attacks with the divided region of Kashmir.
"Such ham-handedness plays into the hands of those who are in denial and rationalise violent extremism by finding 'just' causes for it," it wrote.
The editorial in the Asian Age said: "Such appeasement of terrorism is startling... What next? That the chief imam of London's Finsbury Park Mosque should be elevated to the House of Lords?"

What an embarrassment! What next? Will David Miliband create an Islamic state in north London and Bradford to bride the Muslims against staging another 7/7? Hasn't Miliband learned the lessons from 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Beslan and Mumbai that there can be no appeasement to terrorists, and that the only solution is for non-Muslim countries to join together in an international alliance against the evildoers?
