laughing buddha, Sir, calling me stupid does not make you any smart. and having a different view on somethign does not make me your enemy- i hope. Sitara jyu has understood that and i'm grateful. However, If your intension is to look smart than actually be smart than go ahead and stick your head inside the sand and think the whole world is stupid...hope you feel smart :) So you think the riot was started for the looting? You think all the People who were in that riot they were there cuz they wanted free stuff or they wanted to go break some stuff? The murder of 12 Nepalis and the brutal slaughter of one of the victims was not even worthy to a riot in thier country against thier brutal murder? What did you expect Nepali people to do after seeing such inhuman treatment to one of the brothers? I personally, try to keep aside my personal biases and try not to be steriotypical, but after seeing that video i have practically quit greeting my muslim colleques in my work enviroment. I know, i am not doing right but i can't help as a human. I have emotions and my blood boils wheni see something like that happening to one of my brothers. No matter, how much you preach about goody goody logics and so called intellectual prespective, I bet your blood boils at one time or the another too, considering the fact that you're a human. I'm sure if something like that was happened to your immediate family (god forbids) member you would be doing worse than that. You just were not in that situation of those Nepali people in kathmandu. you were sitting behind a desk in your cozy apartment somewhere in the usa or western europe country and were typing messages on sajha.com on how those people should act. However, if you were in that mass and if you had see the victim's mother fainting and his father and brother crying , i wonder if your cold blood would have boild too not. It's easy for sitara ji to live in DC and i don't know where you're located and judge the people in Nepal. Tell them you should do this and you should do that , with the arrogance of being educated or residing outside of Nepal. However, if you were in that situation , if you were in that scenerio and if you had to deal with what majority of Nepali people have to go though in thier lives , i wonder how much "intellectuality" you could show at that point. I think , it's natural for Nepali people to be mad. I think, it's not nice that public properties were destroyed. However, I'm more than proud that they did the riot - that makes me feel that our bood(Nepali) has not cooled down yet with the currpotions and frustrations we have been going though . That gives me a hope that something will change in Nepal.... let these kind of riots which symbolizes unity and standing for each otehr come more often..
