I just want to say I support Pakistani-Americans who love America and seek peace and understanding. I work with several in my job and they are fine, upstanding citizens. Don't listen to all the un-American haters out there who don't have anything nice to say. Those are not true Americans.
Radicalization of some, if not many, Pakistani muslim youths living in the US is an automatic outcome of their baroque living environment and family life lacking rational thinking backed by the biased knowledge of historical events that eventually led to the birth of the non-secular country formerly known as West Pakistan. In order to change the image of Pakistan as the 10th. failed country of the world the first and foremost thing would be to learn the correct history of the Indian sub-continent starting from the date of Mogul invasion of the region and then wholeheartedly accept India (as well as its philosophy) and its people as their friend with no string attached. One bad apple can spoil the whole bushel and, therefore, uprooting all forms of extremists views from the minds of people is very important for all Pakistanis living around the world who want to be proud of their country.
