Deaths in Thailand

I read the letter written by Mr. Barua (DS Nov.1, 2004) with disgust. Whenever Muslims protest the murder of fellow Muslims, their governments, news media and the very air they breathe is condemned as being 'sectarian', and 'biased'. It is statements by people like Mr. Barua that divide people in the name of religion.

A massacre is a massacre, no matter how it is reported. The Daily Star is one of the best newspapers around, and its reporting is always balanced, unlike some newspapers around the world.

I pray for those brave people killed in Thailand because of their religious faith and for protesting against injustice. Hopefully, Mr Barua will do the same.
