Ref # 2:[Pakistanis tarnish the name of pakistan!!.]
Ref # 3:[Those four Pakistanis in Britain are going to do wonders to Pakistan`s image.]

Cayenne and bbabu:

The suspected bombers are Britons who killed their own people for reasons, unclear at the moment. They are not Pakistanis. Period.

A “particular descent” does not make one prone to a particular type of criminal activity. I do not believe that Pakistani people have “bomber genes” in them, which can be passed on to their successive generations.

If your argument is true then it would be fair to say that “Indians are tarnishing the image of India” as shown by two brothers of Indian descent; Satish and Deepak Kalpoe by their probable involvement in the murder/disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba.

Honestly written (I like this change from some of the garbage being peddled right now.) it could be reorganized slightly to increase its focus and ``punch``.

[On paper we have many laws that claim to protect women, …]
I honestly wish that in the South Asian subcontinent, we would stop “protecting” the women so much! Then, maybe they will have a chance to catch up.

[We are indeed a callous society that such rapes occur everyday and none of us have done anything to pressurize the government.]
Is it mere callousness, or fear for one’s own?

[I don`t know what kind of games the establishment in Islamabad are up to.]
The most popular game is called “protect own rear first”, with “protect your kursi” a close second, and “protect your coterie” in number three position.

A good article.

``........have become part of our social ( ?????)culture..........``


``......... that it was done so that she wouldn’t blemish the image of the country.............``

What image??

``.......The religious leaders rant and rave almost all the time about various non issues and hold protests off and on, but how many clerics have raised the issue of rape seriously, and have actually done something about it? None. Anyhow, one cannot expect too much from religious leaders as theirs is a myopic point of view that revolves only around tearing off billboards, and attempting to stop mixed marathons; ....................``

well said..........most religious institutions suffer from the same disease..........useless `sosha`............sikhs (religious leaders/bodies) are also infamous for such hijrapan.
