And Zeena,

If you had any brains at all, you would have realized that #265 was actually ridiculing you!

#268

Zeena, I strongly recommend you keep your hateful, asinine, air-headed words of idiocy limited to the gutters of the UP where those words truly belong!

Instead of playing as a hair-brained, nincompoop agent of who knows what parties that are trying to malign the good prof. for who-knows-what reasons!

#265 master-Pak

It looks like this hudd boy is playing that card of bigotry and racism in reverse. There are always those like hudd boys who just take up air space, and the person who actually kills their children are more than evils anyway.

People like hudd boys imgaine in their retard delusionary mind that by blaming someone else, the heat will go off of them. Always watch for the person who lies, denies and counter acuses the right ones. This shows that they are hiding something underneath about thier involvement ...............

What hudd boy is trying to do here is instigating an open form of prejudice against Jinnah and against all Pakistan. Which is not a peoblem solving strategy, but, a problem creating scheme with more violence , hatred and evil things as mentioned in this evlish article.

The way to fight this article`s narrowminded approach ......stand firm in your faith and trust in GOD(Al mighty), stop responding to this bigot`s mind`s little off color delusional ideology. Rather Laugh @ this mind who is promoting violence, hatred and evil thingsn and bigotry against Jinnah and against our three words foundation(Faith, Unity and Discipline) and you`ll see Pakistan will grow and change in a positive direction, which is already doing so.

Teach your children these lessons and we can put down those that preach evil and hatred. Remember: ``Evil persists when good men do nothing.``

I am surprised @ this writter`s narrowmined approach, who claims to be Pakistani, but, hate Pakistanis. Who lives in Pakistan and discourage and condemns Jinnah.

What has he done for poor Pakistanis so far? Nothing. What has he done for earthquake victims, Nothing? And here he is with all his venomous spews attacking already poor and oppressed Pakistanis ...........WoW!!!! What an approach!!!

By publishing his article on this annonymous web site called chowk.com, he thinks he has become real embassador of Pakistan.

Well, ask him this site doesn`t represent Pakistanis at all. The real ones. All of us, including me are fake Pakistanis living abroad with onl;y some fake identities left.

Real Pakistanis are those more than 80% poor, oppressed Pakistanis who work hard day and night just to provide dinner to their families and basic needs, even then they are satisfied with their hardwork and they don`t beg infront of anyone.

Yes, other 15 % of the low lying Pakistanis, so called elites are the real beggars who are begging infront of USA and copying India for their selfish needs with coruption and still their needs are not met with, b/c they are those hounds who suck poor Pakistanis blood and add more money in their pockets. Yes, this writter is in those 15% Pakistanis

Author, I read the article again (after removing the J references – which is what I should have done the first time :). Overall, it is a very thoughtful and an eminently well-written speech. In fact, I am convinced that you could have left J out completely without losing any of its motivational appeal while perhaps avoiding some of the distractive side-effects that that name seems to have created.

As with most philosopher-types, the contemplative part of your speech is far superior to its prescriptive part – where you suggest what needs to be done. The latter reads more like a political speech –let’s conduct a wholesale “gharibi hatao, naari-sudhar karo,…” etc.

Those who are real well-wishers of your country will take to it well – and will do so in the spirit in which it was intended. Do not expect such courtesy from those whose bread-and-butter is demagoguery and those who thrive on prejudice.

Best wishes.

Re: # 264
dear zeena behna.you have once again proved that you are a real woman of substance.you are the lioness of pakistan.the way you are fighting against these stupid hypocrite like hood bhoy is realy remarkable.behana `sadaa suhaagan raho`now i realy believe that `wajood-i-zan se hai tasweer-i-kainaat mein rang`.this man is a real psuedo intellectual and hypocrite.he is always their to speak bakwaaaaas against pakistan and its nuclear capability.he projects himself as pascifist but i wanna ask him why he has such double standard.he has never spoken against `afghan war` the killings of iraqis,israeli barbarism but when pakistan or any other muslim country does something brings all his `dukh dard and third rate dialogue baazi`out of his hypocrite mind.plz read interact #212 in replying to your #197 as well.

Everytime I read about a paki being arrested for terrorism, which is almost every week, I have this urge to get down on my knees and thank jinnah...

#258

Yes, the creature was born on Christ`s birthday and allegedly died (if such things are possible for vamps) on 9/11.

Talk about a degeneration!

masanamuthu: I have no complaints and I thank Jinnah for that..

That is a good attitude.

For myself, I have no complaints either and I thank Jinnah for that too. Although there are some clowns like masadi we could have safely left behind in India - although come to think of it, they are not in Pakistan anymore anyway.

So it is a win win situation for Pakistanis. :-)

I haven`t read all the comments.. So pardon me if someone else has brought this up.. I think the right motto of Jinnah/Pakistan should not be Faith, Unity, Discipline (FUD), but rather the other FUD of the tech. industry.. Companies use the technique of Fear, Uncertainity and Doubt (FUD) against their rival products. Jinnah used it successfully against Congress and Hindus..

I have no complaints and I thank Jinnah for that..
