Stars & Stripes - Fair & Balanced

I am currently reading Trespassing by Uzma Aslam Khan. I am not far enough along to provide a recommendation beyond saying that I have enjoyed what I have read so far. However I did think that the following passage was a propos given today's world. These are the thoughts of a young Pakistani, who is studying in America, as he flies home after his father's death:
