My friends in USA and across the world,

When we are witnessing the brutal attacks on Mumbai, financial city of India Time and writer Aryn Baker are busy spreading misinformation. Please read the article titled "India's Muslims in crisis" by Aryn Baker on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2008.

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1862650,00.html

Also read about the writer

Writer in this article is implying that Hindus are to be blamed for the recent attacks on Mumbai, India. It also implies that Muslims are oppressed in India by Hindus. It also misrepresents Indias history. It is time we speak up and stop those involved in spreading misinformation.

Please sign the petition and demand that TIME
1. Retract the article.
2. Fire the writer.
3. Issue a formal apology to Hindu community.

    • The reporter notoriously overlooks/ignores the fact that the terrorists were also vehemently targeting Britsh, US and Israeli passport holders as well.

    • The first 200 readers who commented were nearly unanimous that the writer is a malicious liar, the editors are idiots, and the publishers are thieves. Nice going, TIME! You are worse than DAWN of Karachi

    • First, TIME magazine gave us the character-assassination of Prime Minister Vajpayee by the profoundly delusional Alex Perry. Now, it trots out a smear campaign against our nation and its people... in our moment of deepest tragedy... by apologist for Pakistani terrorism Aryn Baker. And none of it, ever, seems to have any basis in fact ! I don't know why India gives the TIME scum "journalist" visas anymore. All they seem to achieve is to give journalism a bad name.

    • deplorable - the magazine must give equal opportunity to us to express our side, why is it partisan in denying our writings to be published- either it is afraid or has an axe to grind???

    • The author is justifying murder. She is unaware about basic ideologies let alone nuances of the Indian political scene. She spews a lot of venom similar to what is heard from a range of extremists such as the Maoists, Naxalites, Islamists and the recent hate spreading Christian evangelicals. "Hindu terrorist" is a complete red herring planted by those who want a weak India.

    • Time seems to carry the white man's burden. And is blatantly racist in its coverings. It tries to cover that up by printing articles like these.

    • Spreading propaganda is one thing and falsely tarnishing the image of a community and linking it with an act of terrorism is a clear example of exploiting media as means to carry out personal vendetta.

    • The author has absolutely no knowledge of what he speaks. Every one of his statistical figures are made up (even the historical ones). It is this kind of misinformation that spreads hatred among people. I request the magazine to please hire a few editors. Thanks

    • Evidently whats missed is that people like Aryn sow the seeds of division and hate. One wonders if she has an agenda or is just plain dumb. But given that she works for a reputed outfit like TIME, one can almost discount the latter. Oh, I hear she lives in India. How nice!

    • The article has two major issues, one, that it is historically wrong. Second that it is a prime example of how bottomfeeding journalists exploit the trust of public. Shame on you Time!

    • The Mumbai Attacks are carried out by Islamic extremists. Hindus of India did not attack Mumbai. If you look at the history of India it is the Hindus who has given home to the people of all religions of the world and they all have flourished and prospered in India. It is criminal of you to support these terrorist who have been created and supported in madressa and mosque in Afghanistan, Pakistan and funded by petro money.

    • The author of the Time article appears to have an emotional involvement with Pakistani people, and misplaced sympathies for Pakistan, having spent her early journalistic career there. She has misinterpreted the facts to suit herself. This can be observed from her articles on Pakistan.

    • I stopped my annual subscription to Time over a year ago and was thinking of renewing it. Your poor standards of reporting helped me make my choice. Thank you for saving me some money in these dire times.
