Were We Too Hijacked by 9/11?

Here's a tale of two Pakistani self-haters and defeatists who enjoy every moment of hating themselves and their country: Dr. Pervaiz Hoodbhoy and Asma Jahangir.
Whenever there is a writing project in any newspaper anywhere in the world where they want to bash Pakistan using a Pakistani name, they call one man in Islamabad: Dr. Hoodbhoy. He spews more venom against Pakistan than Hamid Karzai and Bal Thackery - an Indian Hindu terrorist - combined.
Asma Jahangir, another defeatist who went to India to shake the hands of Narendar Modi, the killer of 2500 Indian Muslims, has just volunteered to Hindustan Times to confirm that Mumbai terror was a Pakistani conspiracy [see below].
Here's a letter sent by a Pakistani young man to Dr. Pervaiz Hoodbhoy, a Pakistani self-hater, and received no reply. And then watch Asma Jahangir's video.
Recommendation: We need to start a witch-hunt in Pakistan to cleanse our academia and public life of such self-haters and defeatists who poison the minds of young Pakistanis about their homeland. Such academics and human rights activists should not be allowed to hide behind the freedom of expression.

NATION WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU

Dear Dr Pervaiz Hoodbhoy Sahib,

I have been reading your articles and research reports and watching your interviews on different TV channels on different issues. I have tried to go through your articles again and again to satisfy myself that whatsoever you are speaking in the name of freedom of speech is just an ordinary criticism and could be a difference of opinion.
But I regret to say that I am unable to do so. In dozens of your articles and interviews you have never ever said a single positive thing about Pakistan and have always tried to portray a false picture of Pakistan, according to which Pakistan is a failed state. Whether it's the issue of extremism, or Pakistan's nuclear assets, or Pak-India relations, or if there is an issue of western and Indian allegations, you have always come up with your nasty ideas to prove to the world community that whatever the enemies of Pakistan are saying, you are more than happy to say it from them, using a Pakistani identity, which is an act for which you feel no shame.

I am not sure if Pakistanis have seen your massive one-man campaign against Pakistan where you have alleged that we are not capable of retaining our nuclear assets. Or, now, after the Mumbai attacks, when even the cheapest of Pakistani politicians have shown some kind of patriotism and unity for the sake of Pakistan, at this crucial time again you are trying to prove what the enemies of Pakistan are trying to do. I fail to understand what motivates you except gaining popularity in West or even in India.

India is a so-called democracy where low caste Hindus, Christians and Muslims are burned alive [a ritual unique to India, doesn't happen anywhere else], where Hindu extremists are in the government, where groups like Bajrang Dal are trained in Indian Army schools. But India seems like Switzerland after reading one of your articles on India, especially the one you wrote recently after a visit to India. India's terrorist and rogue intelligence agency, RAW, which is funding and supporting separatist movements in our tribal belt and in Balochistan, continues to be an untouchable issue for you. What really is important for you is to put all your efforts toward portraying a negative Pakistan.

I give you an example from the history which you will find self explanatory in reference to our current scenario.

I am not sure if our enemies will impose a war on Pakistan or not but at this crucial stage all your efforts to distort Pakistan's image is not going to remain unnoticed and the nation will never forgive you for what you have done.

Wassalam.

INSIGNIFICANCE OF 9/11

It is nauseating to see the indians and pakistanis so worked up about the significance of 9/11 to the americans, the so called killing of the innocent civilians in a wantom act of terrorism. The great free country has demolished a few hundred thousand as revenge.

What is forgotten is that in the US 30,000 people are shot dead every year by their own fellow country men. It appears these are not innocent people killed by senseless violence simply because these are acts of fellow americans. It is pathetic to see the crocodile tears for the 9/11 victims while even the simplest acts to control guns are rejected in the backdrop of 30,000 bodies year after year.

nasah,
Is it a fault or matter of shame for ``Rice woman`` that she is ``great grand daughter of a slave``, or for that matter, are you insinuating that his great grand father became a slave due to something missing in him.

You may disagree with Rice. You must realize that impact of everything you wrote after this is lost due to ``daughter of a slave`` phrase.

Regards

[``The equivalent of Hindutva is the creation of Pakistan.``
Absolutely! Hindutvavadis are the true believers in the Two Nation Theory and would turn India into a mirror image of Pakistan. Gujarat, in that sense, could be equated to Jinnah`s Direct Action in Calcutta.]
Oh, dear!
Now you have gone and done it!
Yasser Latif Hamdani will never speak to you again!

“Flush from its Cold War victory, the mighty US military machine had diligently searched for new enemies. At best, success had been partial. Condoleezza Rice`s Foreign Affairs article from 2000 begins with this declaration: ``The United States has found it exceedingly difficult to define its `national interest` in the absence of Soviet power.”(Hoodbhoy)

Well Dr. Hoodbhoy -- I think that Rice woman -- the great grand daughter of a slave has finally FOUND the definition of -- US ‘national interest’ for her Master -- massa Bush the junior -–

it is spelled out in four phrases – Preemptive Strikes, -- Preemptive Invasions -- and Preemptive Regime Changes –- to avert Preemptive 9/11’s --

the Imperial Don Quixote of Texas -– from now on will be going after --All theWind Mills -- All over the World -- All the way – All Alone -- EXCEPT -- with the two trusted companions:

-- the British running dog Blair -- sniffing, raising the legs and marking the path all along -– and the Jewish Nazi court jester Sharon as the -- instigating Comic Relief – in this grim adventure.

now within the span of two years of the reign of this stupid pres9dent things have to such lowest depth for this great couny that -- a Justice Minister of German government -- compares Bush with Hitler – an outrageous claim for a German to make against an American –

but it tells you how grotesque this war mongering Texan kid Dubya looks to the outside world – beating hysterically the War Drums against the People of Iraq -- for NO apparent reason -- except to get ONE MAN -- out of his way -- that his murderous DADDY (500,000 Iraqis killed and buried alive) -- could not get out of -- HIS way.

after spending bilion of dollars of our tax money on this white elephant -- CIA -- we still can`t take out -- ONE MAN -- but we WILL burn down the whole BARN to find just -- ONE infeced NEEDLE --

now that`s sheer impotent arrogant cruel madness.

arjun mian,

Why this ferocious determination to show Pakistan in bad light? I think most Pakistanis understand these issues. They also understand that despite the ``advances`` we Indians have made, we still are, like them, a rag-tag bunch of nobodys leading a hand-to-mouth existence for the most part.

I mean, it`s not like we have conquered the bloody universe, arjun bhai!

``On the other hand, Hindutva ``brigade`` does include some real violent thugs who are out and out evil``

If only it was possible to send these evil beings to kill leaders and ordinary people in Pakistan continuously for 10-15 years. Then perhaps Pakistanis will understand exactly the essential similarities and differences between Hindutva practitioners and jihadis.

Sir, Aapko gussa bhi aata hai? Aur woh bhi itna zayada? Cool cool and Smile.
