Re: # 2The story doesn’t allude to ISI. The terrorist might have been as well a Bangladeshi or even an Afgan.

Re: # 1Not every educated Muslima could do that so well. The approaches adopted by Sabiha are not instructed in university courses.

hmm bit of along rant could`ve been done better, the dialogue is unrealistic, and there is too much similies and metaphore style language that required the reader to concentrate too much, although there is lots of good vocabulary here. The Bombay ending seemed a bit off from the rest of the peice. With a little more honing it could become a better peice. Keep on trying.

On another note, i thought ISI hired Indians instead of actually sending Pakistanis over, i thought Pakistanis were only reserved for Kashmir!

To cut a long story short:
An educatred muslima can convince even an uneducated momeen, that Kafirs don`t carry
hatred in their hearts normally.

Another ``secular`` story ......
