An Urgent Appeal to all Pakistanis

Even in 80s when I started reading Cowasjee (later I stopped reading him for years), I was of the opinion that guy is just a hustler who knows how to use his pen. Several of my friends agreed. The final nail in the coffin was when he openly supported this despot Musharaf when later raped our constitution and and also when he again gang raped us by this by-election of a twat named Shaukat Aziz. Ardeshir Cwasjee has lost my respect. He can go fukk himself now. Or better yet, let this feudal lord do that for us.

I am disappointed in you. I thought you were quite enlightened politically. Why do you support a fauji establsihment`s stooge?

I`ve got no opinion either way on what`s been written by syed ali...

I do have a problem with the vulgarity used by a response to the article.

Strong feelings sometimes evoke strong emotions and words... regardless of where one comes down on what`s been written... I can`t really see the point for the profanity.

Cowasjee states ``How is it that a minister of General Musharraf`s own government is using terrorist tactics out of pique and out of having been somewhat exposed? And what connection do his words have with either enlightenment or moderation?``

Subhan`Allah! I am glad that Cowasjee finally sees the terrorist policies of the thugs who are ruling Pakistan today. Unfortunately, he sees it only when he is himself on the wrong end of the stick. Did he speak up when Musharraf uses gunship helicopters at fleeing civilians in Wana? Did he send him e.mails that he should not be using army against his own population?

Unfortunately Cowasjee stumbled and did something that was not liked. And NOW he knows how much ``freedom`` and ``moderation`` is being imported in Pakistan from US.

I satopped reading Dawn and Cowasjee four years ago. His articles before 1999 were purposely Anti civilians in Pakistan.
Somebody needs to explore his financial dealings with Beram Avari. I know they are co-religionist and Beram is a major army supporter in Karachi.

I can see a lot of good coming out of this episode.

Cowasjee will be much more aware of the true nature of our dictators. He will also understand that it is NOT ok to KILL people who are not liberal or have different views about the direction in which Pakistan should go. There are religious people in US living amicably with the non-religious people. But no one advocates lessening the role of religion in US via killing of religious people - even if religious people bomb abortion clinics, physically block access to abortion clinics, or threaten state legislatures into legalizing ``theory of evolution`` as the ONLY legitimate theory.

In short, when you cheer on the killings of the people who think differently (instead of a having a dialogue), then sooner or later someone will find you guilty of thinking ``differently`` too.

Appeal Denied!

I do not see your point. Why should we be soft on fukking rapists, their aiders and abeters?

Another dark day in the history of Pakistan

Shaukat aziz got ``elected``

We have been raped again in broad day light. God save us all.

malik and urstruly, i hope and prey that your family members are around to catch the action when next time time one of your beloved muslims from fata do their thing:

``_ _ _The men, part of a previously unknown group called Jundallah, or Allah`s Brigade, are also believed to have been involved in recent attacks on Shiite Muslim mosques in Karachi.

Both Rahman and Bajwa received training in October and November of 2003 in South Waziristan at an alleged al-Qaida facility and shooting range on the property of tribal leader Eda Khan.

The camp near Shakai, a town of mud-brick compounds surrounded by mountains and forests, was overrun by the army in June following the arrests in Karachi. Eda Khan surrendered and is in custody.``

Apparently there was an Indian dude who was member of Jundullah. LOL!! What goes around.....

``Brave people like Mr Cowasjee deserve our respect and our support``

Brave?

Cowasjee?

Cowasjee was jailed in the 1970s and while in Karachi jail, he started a rose garden, which I believe is still exists.

Why was he jailed by a democratically elected leader of Pakistan?

Cowasjee is old; in his 80s and is entering the dotting age and some times his memory slips and some times he writes articles, which makes us fume, laugh or simply confuses us. Cowasjee suffers from a disappointment. As a young man, he saw the birth of Pakistan in 1947 and since then, he has seen each political generation, despite the clothes of dictators, tear that dream apart. I do not read his articles, because I have a feeling that old Cowasjee uses a ghost writer but I do not question his wish for a better Pakistan. In that wish, he has spoken out against the many rapists of that particular wish, while the rest of us chose to remain silent. He supports the military because he does not think that mullahs are a better choice and between the devil and satan, he favors the devil. What ever his faults, Cowasjee speaks his mind and that makes him a nuance to the powers of Pakistan, who are still not that far removed from their old feudal ways.

There is no need to defend Cowasjee. He has powerful friends who will not let an errand minister of industries harm him.

Ciao
