Rape and Exploitation - Pakistan’s Dilemma What is article about? Is it some lame attempt to justify what Musharraf said?

``Perhaps what Musharraf is so angry about is exactly this: the violence that is being inflicted upon our country through the crime of rape. Blaming the victim is a gross misunderstanding on his part; he must retract his statement, or at least replace it with a clarification that would do his stance more justice. What he tried to say to the Washington Post is that women are not the only victims of rape; Pakistan is becoming the victim of a type of “political” rape through the subsequent “exploitation” (in his eyes, anyway) of the rape victims, to the detriment of Pakistan’s image. ``

Why Pakistanis still won`t admit that they have a scoundral running their nation? Such type of comments made by anyone in a corporate setup will lead to his immediate sacking. Why are you willing to tolerate Mushy ``if he just clarifies``? Still pleading and hoping that Mushy will be next prophet !

A disgusting article by a woman!!

Here is one better solution
1. Pakistan gives up autonomy
2. India takes over Pakistan
3. Constitution is changed to make sure that anyone remotely connected with Islam can not be take any judicial, legistative or executive positions (or better - Islam is declared illegal)

(Having said that, no one other than Bengalis, wanted independence from Pakistan, as a majority. Sindhis, Pathans and Hunszkusts etc. don`t want independence. They are happy with Pakistan. Bengalis wanted it, and should have been given it peacefully. Everyone would have been better off.)


Did you conduct a vote to determine this? Conduct a ``free`` vote and you may get a surprise!!

Kashmir was nothing but a case of gross mismanagement that was exploited by Pakistanis on religious grounds.
If Kashmiris had any love for Pakistan, they would not have captured ``these liberators`` during operation Grand Slam and handed over to India.

This raaga of people wish sung by HamidM and Romair will make sense if they will apply that to people of Pakistan and let them decide their own destiny. Where do they think NWFP will go if they allow them to vote between Afghanistan and Pakistan? And which direction will Sindh go?

Pakistani`s are very fond of searching for root-cause. As aptly said by Tony Blair, root cause is doctrine of Islamic fanaticism propagated primarily by Pakistan which assumes that a democracy based on Quaranic principles and a judiciary based on Shariat is only possible form of society.

Kashmir is infected by this disease and even though it is painful for India to do so, India must disinfect itself of this disease before it spreads out in the world.

Katrina: An Abdication of Responsibility American respose to Katrina leaves me stunned. I remember a flood in Delhi`s outskirts and Haryana in 1979 when large parts of west Delhi were flooded. Within hours all schools buildings were take over as shelter for the victims, langars started distributing food, and school were closed for more than two weeks (I remember our enjoying school closures)

If 100,000 plus people in that city could be left orphaned, than it may happen to other cities too. I think now it makes sense to own a gun in this country.

I forwarded your earlier letters to Moni Basu, a staff reporter of Atlanta Journal & Constitution. I hope that she will be able to help you...

I have decided not to respond, but I wonder why the newspaper thinks what that lady says is so very significant that in the course of 4 days she gets to publish two letters on the same subject. Is the media happier with this image of Muslims?

Wow! Head you win, tail I loose!! Some muslim mahila wants to support Fatwa. And media is to be blamed for publishing her views!!

Even if has those stanzas, what is offending about them? Is that about mention of Lakshmi and Durga?
For all I know from our JNU trained historians, Lakshmi, Durga and Kali were pre-aryan dieties that got incorporated in aryan divinity.

How can a nation that greets each other with Allah Hafiz, and mentions khuda in its national songs, claim right to criticize vande-matram for mentioning Durga and Lakshmi?
