In the wake of mass protests in Mumbai where many called for military action against Pakistan, marchers in Islamabad had their turn to chant slogans against India and the US Dec. 4, when thousands filled the streets to protest US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to New Delhi. At the protest, led by the Islami Jamiat-e-Tulaba and Jammat-e-Islami, a favorite banner slogan was, "We are ready to sacrifice ourselves by launching Jihad against the enemies of our country." Many protesters claimed India itself planned the Mumbai attacks as a means of waging a war against Pakistan. (Press TV, Dec. 4)
