What's on Pakistan TV talk shows? Extremists.
Pakistan's new firebrands raising eyebrows include televangelists such as Amir Liaquat Hussain, who hosts the popular "Alim Online" show on Geo Television, Pakistan's largest private TV network; the fez-sporting ex-jihadi Zaid Hamid who famously coined the term "Hindu Zionist" to describe what he sees as the unholy alliance of Israel and India in their quest to undermine Pakistan; and Hamid Mir, host of "Capital Talk," who counts among the country's most respected journalists and who interviewed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her last visit to Pakistan, and is currently in the midst of scandal regarding his alleged ties with the Taliban uncovered in a taped phone recording.
