If Vajpayee was the mask or mukhota of the BJP, as Govindacharya famously put it a while ago, Musharraf is fast becoming the mukhota of the pseudo modern Islamists. Under the garb of analyzing the current problems of the world and how most of them stem from conflicts with Islam, Musharraf's op-ed column is nothing but a well disguised threat. Effectively he says If conflicts arent resolved to the satisfaction of the Muslim world, terrorism will go on. Clearly this is unacceptable, even more so coming from the head of a nation which purportedly is at the forefront in the war against terror.

In my opinion, what the heads of Islamic countries need to focus on is education and democracy. The two of them would ensure that any disputes are settled in a more civilized manner than beheading citizens of countries they're at war against or whose ideology they vehemently oppose.
