Re: # 21Dear nazarhayatkhan, you are right when you say that as a nation we must become tolerant of the beliefs of others, only them can we begin to realize how to keep away from extremism which I believe is another word for intolerance

Re: # 9Dear Sattar2, with principles numbers dont matter. Even if there was only one Ahmadi-Muslim in Pakistan, he/she should be respected and allowed to publicy and safely practice his/her beliefs without any fear of reprecussions.

Re: # 4 My sincere apologies if the green turban is a specific headgear of any sect. My statement was in reference to the uber religious students, not specifically Wahabi ones. Again,my sincere apologies for any misunderstanding on that issue.

Re: # 1

Dear oak. Absolutely. I agree with you, we cannot outright reject Islam and that is not whats being suggested either. Here the emphasis is on keeping Islam a personal issue.
Writers Writers Everywhere, Not A Teenager Around?

Hmm very true,hardly anyone has the guts to translate their emotions and opinions into words anymore. This sad fact is as you very rightly stated,most conspicous among the teenagers in Pakistan. Being one myself, I can understand that most probably lead very hectic lifestyles, but they have to create creative outlets and writing can be one of the most exciting ones. So why not write people??? Chowk is afterall here for you drown others with your ideas and opinions on just about anything!!
