For some insights, please check Hoodbouy article (posted in the 'A Mirror on Pakistan: In their own words by Pakistanis' thread) -yensoy wrote: ↑28 Aug 2023 09:11 ^^^^ additionally the above acts skews the ratio of unmarried men:women in that community, causing the men to express their sexual frustrations by other means such as grooming gangs and baiting local women. To be clear, many married men participate in these activities too but it is an additional factor.
“This is reflected in how the Pakistani community lives in places like Bradford and Birmingham and East London, and even in Manhattan or the Bronx. You do see much greater introversion. You see the emphasis being on religion. Less open-mindedness, less curiosity about the world around them. Less absorption into mainstream culture.”
“It's with Muslims practically everywhere. From Morocco and Algeria to Singapore and Australia, the Muslims stand out, they are instantly identifiable. You see the hijab and the burqa, but more so the hijab. I think it's an assertion of identity."
But why do Muslims worldwide feel such a strong need to assert their Muslim-ness when they move elsewhere? Why don't we see this in Hindus, Jews or Christians?
“It's probably failure because Muslims really have very little to show in terms of achievements in science, technology and ideas. Even in terms of films, except for Iran. And in Iran, the films are all outside of the mainstream of Iranian culture, so there's this collective sense of failure that then transforms into cultural conservatism.”
“So Islam ran out of steam basically after the 13th century, and since then, it's been coasting along,” Hoodbhoy sums up.
Anujanji, they are often married to their first cousins in Pakistan. Their children born in Europe and the US often have genetic defects that have to be treated at public expense. About grooming and baiting local women, there is something about the gora skin that they desire. I know about Bangladeshis who wanted to travel to Yugoslavia of those days, to find "Goris" that were Muslim and also European. It was the thought of getting killed in that war that stopped them, otherwise it was fine to find desperate women who wanted to get out of that war torn country and use them.Anujan wrote: ↑28 Aug 2023 07:02 A lot of Pakistanis who have immigrated to UK, take their UK born daughters back to Pakistan for a "visit" and then forcibly marry them off to abduls in Pakistan. So that these girls dont get "corrupted" with western ideas.
So much so that UK has a "forced marriages unit" https://www.gov.uk/guidance/forced-marriage operating out of its consulates in pakiland.
With the nationwide protests over massive power bills growing, the caretaker government has failed to come up with any relief measures as it tries to strike a balance between avoiding drawing the IMF’s ire and causing more citizens to blow a fuse.
In the cabinet meeting presided over by Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Tuesday, the interim set-up expressed helplessness on how to address the issue, even on spreading electricity bills in instalments unless the International Monetary Fund cleared it.![]()
Interim Information Minister Murtaza Solangi, who didn’t immediately hold a presser after the cabinet’s meeting, later told a private TV channel that the government was engaging with the IMF regarding relief measures for electricity consumers and an announcement was expected soon.
Two videos of Hindus being kidnapped by bandits and held and tortured in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan region were received by their families on July 28. In one video, 25-year-old Sagar Kumar (s/o Inder Lal, r/o Kashmore, Sindh), is pleading with his kidnappers not to beat him and his family to get him released early as he is sick and unable to bear the frequent assault.
In a second video, 65-year-old Jagdish Kumar, also being held hostage somewhere in Balochistan, can be seen pleading with his abductors not to beat him.
Jagdish Kumar has been in captivity by bandits for the last 65 days, according to his family.
In both cases, the criminals are demanding PKR 10 crore for their release.
Badmash/Shehbaz got out and put a caretaker in so they need not face this backlash and at least have some chance of winning the election. Also in Al-Bakistan, the traders, agriculturalists, exporters, Khakhis etc pay no taxes (or electricity bill for that matter). Which means that the salaried class is who gets the danda. Even now prices in Al Bakistan is low, a liter of Petrol costs 300 in toilet currency, which if you compare with india needs to be 400 in toilet currency. So another 30% hike to go.Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Thursday stated that the matter of skyrocketing electricity bills is being discussed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that the government would fulfil its obligations to the global lender “at all costs”.
Speaking to senior journalists and anchorpersons in Islamabad, he said the consumers will have to pay the electricity bills.
Pakistan’s petrol and diesel prices cross the paki rs 300 mark for the first time in history
Nothing scares Pakistanis more than the possibility that India could succeed and Pakistan fail
Some years ago when relations with Pakistan were in a good season, the Indian cricket team went on tour to the Islamic Republic. When they played in Lahore, many Indian cricket fans crossed the border to lend the team support. The Indian economy in those days was bursting with animal spirits. So among these fans were Indian industrialists who descended in private jets. A Pakistani friend said later that it was when they saw those private jets arrive that they first realised how far ahead of Pakistan the Indian economy had gone. It was good to see, she added, that it was not just Arab billionaires who were having all the fun. But, I knew from the way she said this that actually most Pakistanis were not happy about this.
As someone who knows Pakistan well, I learned long ago that nothing frightens Pakistanis more than the possibility that India could succeed and Pakistan fail. It may seem from Imran Khan’s recent rantings about the ‘fascist, Hindu Supremacist Modi government’ that it is Kashmir that Pakistanis care about more than anything. This is not true. Kashmir is not the ‘core problem’ between India and Pakistan as military men and jihadists next door like to say. The core problem is that if India becomes a mighty economic superpower and Pakistan remains a bankrupt nuclear power, then the whole exercise of breaking India to make a nation for the ‘pure’ could become meaningless.
................
When Atal Bihari Vajpayee was prime minister, he unleashed the private sector and it was in that happy time that those private jets landed at Lahore airport, making Pakistanis nervous about what us infidels were up to. When they saw that it was prosperity that we were in search of, the planning for 26/11 began. It is no accident that it was Mumbai that was attacked and that Hafiz Saeed’s jihadists were sent to attack the Oberoi and the Taj. No accident that they had orders to target foreign tourists.
There is nothing that the military men next door would like more than to see the Indian economy collapse once more into that socialist sluggishness that kept us behind Pakistan right up to the end of the Licence Raj.....................

We may deal with the Baluchis etc, but the Sindhi and Punjabi population is definitely Ed as "Not Indian or Hindu"
In yet another shocking case of atrocities against Hindus in Pakistan, a 23-year-old woman, who had been receiving treatment in the kidney ward of Indus Hospital in Tando Muhammad Khan City of Sindh, has been allegedly subjected to sexual assault by doctors.
The victim, identified as Seema, had been battling kidney-related illness for a couple of years and had initially been admitted to Indus Hospital. However, due to her deteriorating condition following the alleged incident of sexual assault, she was subsequently transferred to Hyderabad.

Surrounding that rumor there are strong indications that Xi might send an economic delegation to learn from Pakistan as to what lessons China should apply to rescue its highly leveraged property sector. The Chinese are very impressed about how Pakistan has successfully managed high levels of indebtedness for such a long time, without serious social and political consequences. Wang Yi has privately remarked that China's property sector has much to learn from Pakistan's rich experience and deft handling of circular debt, bailouts, debt rollovers and indebtedness. Pakistan is expected to benefit from this closer relationship with China in strategic, economic terms, several joint projects with China regarding agriculture exports in the honey sector, ports in the ocean sector and tourism and strategic construction in the mountain sector are expected to be announced soon.
Rumors are that given the US and China support to Pakistan that there is much trepidation among top Indian leadership that the newly announced SIFC program and general Munir's leadership will put Pakistan on a very strong footing very soon.
I'm in favour of vigilance, but I find some things hard to believe. Pakistan's tiny garbage economy can be kept afloat by Arab grants -- China's far larger economy cannot. Pakistanis can send their starving kids to madrassas, but what's China going to do -- reopen training camps for Mao's Red Guards?Anujan wrote: ↑02 Sep 2023 22:53 Surrounding that rumor there are strong indications that Xi might send an economic delegation to learn from Pakistan as to what lessons China should apply to rescue its highly leveraged property sector.
