I wonder if Fareed Zakaria will invite Jackie Chan on his weekly show on CNN to ask questions on politics and religion such as the nuances of Tibetian-Chinese differences etc?

Now take the following questions as examples of what Fareed Zakaria actually asked from Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan:

ZAKARIA: Do you feel that Muslims have a special responsibility to explain their religion?

ZAKARIA: You know when George Bush saw Manmohan Singh at some event, the first time he had an opportunity chance to introduce his wife, Laura Bush, to Manmohan Singh, he said to her, honey, this is the prime minister of India. This is a country that has 150 million Muslims and not one member of Al-Qaeda. That was the way he thought of Indian Muslims. Why do you think Indian Muslims are not so radicalized? When you look, think about Pakistan, Afghanistan, you know, there's so much Jihad and terrorism in the Arabic. Indian Muslims have not succumbed as much. This is the second largest Muslim population in the world by some count. What, is there a secret?

ZAKARIA: Do you think that there is a tendency towards radicalism, violence, within Islam right now that worries you? Because, let's be honest, when you look around the world and you see terrorism, it is basically being committed by radical Muslims.And there is something either within the, you know, some of these fringe groups,
but they all tend to come from one religion by and large.
