Isn’t it more appropriate to replace the crescent on the Pakistani flag with a banana?”
Has it got worse since you left?
Certainly, by 200 per cent. In two years, the economy has gone down, as well as people's welfare. Essential items for the poor are four times more expensive. So there is poverty, jobs are less, factories have closed.
Do you accept any responsibility for these calamitous times?
No. Every socio-economic indicator was positive in 2008. On the law and order side, yes, there was a problem, but Taliban extremism was not as bad.
One critic has said: “Mr. Musharraf is dangerously prone to self-delusion.” Is he right?
Well, I don't believe only in dreaming. At a later stage, I will prove that statement wrong.
Rashid saheb, on your death bed also you will be begging? Is the world going to come down if Pakistan fails? Americans will ship the nukes to Nevada.Today, it is more important than ever that the West act wisely and help Pakistanis regain Jinnah's vision. The country needs financial and political help to keep democracy on track and rescue it from an economic meltdown...There is too much at stake if the country fails.

Salam was buried in the graveyard Bahishti Maqbara in Rabwah next to his parents' graves. The epitaph on his tomb initially read "First Muslim Nobel Laureate" but, because of Salam's adherence to the Ahmadiyya Muslim sect, the word "Muslim" was later erased on the orders of a local magistrate, leaving the nonsensical "First Nobel Laureate".[11]
I was wondering the other day whatever happened to the Pamela Constable, Christina Amanapour, Robin Raphael, Christopher Lamb... the die hard Paki lovers and anti-Indian brigade of 90s. I wonder if they blame the crumbling of Paki state still on india ..Qadri, who happily confessed to murdering the politician he was assigned to protect, has little chance of being convicted.
"There is no justice in our country for the common man, but Qadri's act against a blasphemer has made all Muslims feel stronger," a shopkeeper in Rawalpindi told me. "They can punish him, but what will they do with a million Qadris who have been born now?"
"Madam, could you please pick up the papers?" he finally said. "The name of our prophet is on the front page, and it must not be on the ground."
I complied, and we spoke cordially about our respective religions. But when I asked about Taseer's murder, his tone changed. "They say he blasphemed against our prophet," the young man said solemnly. "If this is true, then it would be my duty as a Muslim to kill him, too."

Because they believe that they are pure muslims.Chinmayanand wrote:Why don't ahmediyas and Shias quit Islam and brace Christ?
Anyways, they are not counted as muslims in Pakistan.
True. Shia majority Iran - is no better in treating its own minorities and those who they consider are 'lesser muslims' or 'not really muslims'..well maybe better than pakistan..but then again that's not really saying much.Mahendra wrote:Because they believe that they are pure muslims.
Exactly my point, which pure muslim would think of converting to Christianity which automatically qualifies that person for mob administered, government sanctioned, HoKo upheld 72.Chinmayanand wrote:Mahdi ji, which Muslim in Pakistan thinks of himself as impure?
Secondly, who decides the level of purity and on what basis?
By all means post the link there, but I would also point out that it was primarily written for Indians to get a better grasp of Pakistan. The link is below. The book is released for free and unrestricted redistribution on a copyleft licence.Guddu wrote:

The crack about the penchant of Mohammadden Cleric’s raping little boys sent to learn scripture was apparently made somewhere in this video clip:Sherry Rehman, Pakistan's defiant prisoner of intolerance, vows to stay put

The Observer, Sunday 23 January 2011 ………………..
Amid the gloom there is some hope, from unlikely quarters. On a popular talk show last Friday night Veena Malik, an actress who faced conservative censure for appearing on the Indian version of Big Brother, gave an unforgettable tongue-lashing to a cleric who had been criticising her. "You are attacking me because I am a soft target," she railed into the camera, wagging her finger.
"But there's a lot more you can fix in the name of Islam… What about those mullahs who rape the same boys that they teach in mosques?" As the mullah replied, she started to barrack him again.

I wish I could be 100% sure on how the level of purity is decided but I am sure the following factors are instrumental
low level of common sense, Rapist Arab ancestors, Knowledge of HoKo, ability to shout down the sane voices, long beard with kalima reciting lice, and high level of offensive body odour.

There needs to be a UNSC Resolution which declares certain enclaves within Pakistan where minorities may be in a higher concentration as UN protected safe areas, and allows other countries to deploy their militaries to secure these enclaves within Pakistan.Gagan wrote:Pakistan is doomed. There will be an islamic revolution in that country and minorities will be killed as sport in between convulsions of killing different islamic sects. I remember MJ Akhbar's article where he says, what will India do if 1 million refugees turn up on India's borders? I am afraid that that day might arrive.
