Shouldn’t matter
With all due respect to Gulf News, this news is not of great importance (‘Fasting Modi meets Obama at White House for dinner’, Gulf News, October 1). If the Indian prime minister eats or fasts, it will not and should not affect the country. Why must what a Prime Minister brings or creates out of this visit become news?

A micro detail
This must be the first time in the history of Gulf News that it has given attention to a micro detail like this of the Indian prime minister’s visit to the US. I hope they give the same highlights on other popular communities and their leaders as well. Hopefully, we have good days to come.

Only eating habits
I don’t understand where the value is to Gulf News readers in adding the fact that Modi was fasting. Shall we expect news on eating habits of other leaders of the world or is dietary news limited to Indian leaders?
From Mr Rami

The fact that a Prime Minister only had warm water for nine days during an official visit to the US is one of interest more than importance. That is why we chose to highlight this. We sometimes describe what was served at mealtime during summit meetings because it is interesting, and not because we keep tabs on the dietary habits of world leaders.

No hating
Gulf News, stop perpetuating hatred amongst races for religion’s sake (‘‘Homeland’ — the most bigoted show on television?’, Gulf News, October 6). Have you even watched the show? And you are the ones who said ‘Muslim wolves’. Not the show’s producers!

Stirring trouble
They are obviously trying to portray that she is a stranger in a strange land (far from home). Gulf News, you have really sensationalised this. Anyone would think that you were deliberately trying to stir up a hornet’s nest.

Bad move
Disgusting! Gulf News should be apologising for this.

We would like to clarify that this article from the Washington Post raises the question of whether the show is bigoted in its perspective and is promoting stereotypes. The article is clearly against the portrayal as depicted in the show.

Headline choice
I wasn’t pleased with the headline of this story regarding one of the more recent American hostages of Daesh (‘American hostage ‘afraid to die’,’ Gulf News, October 7). Gulf News could have thought to use another headline for getting the point across. Who in the world is not afraid to die? Especially in such a gruesome way as we’ve been reading about? May God shower his utmost mercy on this person and save him from this horrible death.

The headline reflects the hostage’s fear of eminent death, which he expressed in the letter to his parents. It is an honest headline that humanises the hostage.
