Instead of your parrot-mynah performance write something that brings on the wrath of the establishment but still tells the people of Pakistan about the true terrorists-- USA.
(are you the same Krantaa-type who did running commentary in british accent? The dog who loved to fetch the ball for the masters in ``oxford-style``..the ignorants` style?

Now what was it that prevented you Mr. totaa to write something sensible like this. Remember, If you cannot be proficient in Urdu, you are an ignorant person.

If you do not dress like majority of Pakistanis, you are a phony.

Never ever measure your IQs by looking like the negative-photo of a goraa. Learn to create & promote hatred for your masters who have fkked up the mother-land real good and continue such atrocities in collusion with such haraami spawns.

Write for a change that ALL official and unofficial business in Pakitan must be in the language which is associated with learning and NOT jobs. Do what the chinese do, germans do, french do and every non-slave nation does.

O baighairtO! when will you realise that english accent and dress does not improve you IQs.

Mr. O.Qureishi: These are the kind of op-eds which MUST appear not only in Dawn but all english dailies. Opinions which are Muslim-loving, Islam-oriented, indigineously Pakistani .
Stop pretending that since you & your kind speak english, express pride in not knowing enough urdu, look down upon urdu-mediums , praying, pious, and practicing MUSLIMS, that you are educated ones. It is YOU and your types who MUST change because you are wrong, you are cultural-imperialists, you prefer alien-existence while breathing in Pakistan.

Report more & more about the spread of Islam where your masters live. Give a boost to the morale of our locale populace by writing often about the exponetial growth of neo-converts post-911. Promote the idea of returning to the deeper & deeper roots of Islam and chopping off the hydra-heads of secularism, liberalism and democricism (colonial-style).

Discuss this with your board of directors, Chief editors, AND your so-called op-eds.

Mr. Dawn editor: I`m sure you are lurking somewhere. Please tell the Cavasjee/ghavasjee,
Mazdak/maindak and such kind of illiterates (the kalloo-saabs; IQ=drink, accent, and dress)
to write like this. Promote Urdu on TV Radio and Newspapers so that the english-writers get less money and lead the kind of existence which urdu-mediums lead right now.

Tell the truth, even if it is against your ownself--the Qura`an al-Hakeem.

O Dawn editor: I know you visit here. I hope you will recover from your anglo-inferiority complex. The only way is to visit & learn from those who walk, talk, and eat like Pakistani Muslims. If you do not have hate against US terrorism , you are wasting your life on this planet.

Do something worthwhile. If you consider yourself to be among the literates you should be able to read this and write like this:

I think in our campaign for reforms in Pakistani educational system we are forgetting so many things. Being anti-Pakistani which is considered fashionable by many people here at chowk, isn`t going to help any one. We should stick to the point that our education need reforms and just as a safeguard to concerned citizens who are worried about secularization of their children`s minds we should make sure that there is Islamiat for Muslim students from class 1 to 8. Islamiat should be made optional for all students in matriculation. We should teach Urdu and English as languages and to make the comprehension and spoken skills stronger among students. We should remove Islamiat from urdu, english, pakistan studies, civics and science. Yes we do have quranic verses to learn by heart in biology, chemistry and physics for class IX and X these verses should be removed.

Please do not pollute this campaign with anti-Pakistani, anti-US, anti-islamists, anti-indian demons of yours because doing so you are not helping any one.
