War on Terror
Indian Muslims oppose cricket ties with Pakistan until terror machine is dismantled

India did well in averting a crisis of war following the dastardly attack on Mumbai on 26/11. Now it is time to teach Pakistan a lesson. No future ties with the merchants of death. No sporting and cultural ties. This may sound hawkish but then it is necessary to tell the people across the border that India would be serious about snapping all ties with them as long as the terror camps exist there. Until Pakistan completely dismantles all the terror camps, arrests all the leaders of the banned outfits, and dismantles all the infrastructure of terrorists, India would not agree to any ties, leave alone cricketing ties. All other sporting and cultural ties would also be snapped. We do not need such contacts with those people who come and enjoy our friendship and hospitality but behind the back, plan terrorist attacks. India should also ban all Pak players from participating in IPL and ICL also. Such pressures are essential to force Pak to see the reason and the gravity of the situation. The public anger in India is such that we would not like any kind of ties with a nation that harbours so much ill will and animosity against India. Moreover there is no point in sending a team to play, when their non-state actors are busy planning terror attacks in India. Apart from loss of life and property, it has shaken the very conscience of the nation. Indians have demonstrated unprecedented unity in aftermath of the attack. It is therefore advisable to Pak to come out clean with more actions to win India's friendship and sporting ties as well. This is the strongest message India would like to send to Pakistan. We do not want them to take India for granted.
