Long March
Posted by mabdullah Jun 13, 2008 11:49 pm
With less than 45,000 participants, including 1,000 lawyers and their munshis, 3,000 madrassash students and Mullahs, 3,000 activists of Jamaat Islami and its student wing Jamiat, 1,500 workers of Imran Khan's PTI, and the remaining participants brought by Pakistan Muslim League -N, the so called Long March proved to be a Short March. It started with humiliatingly low numbers in Karachi, Sukkur and Multan. It created funny scenes such as the Jamiat students beating up the pro-Imran Khan SAC students in Lahore and ended up with an ugly show of noise and indecency by a few thousand activists in Islamabd. Actually the crowd was so uncivilised and unruly that they also tried to beat their own leader Aitezaz Ahsan who was rescued by police. Here is a picture which shows that the total number of participants in the so called Long March was less than 50,000, a number one tenth of the claim of 5 lac made by Mr Aitezaz Ahsan.

Mohajirs Are People Too
Posted by mabdullah Jun 6, 2008 03:25 am
Yes, mohajirs are indeed as respectable and adorable a people as any other ethnicity or community in Pakistan or elsewhere...

The world is but an idle dream
It shapes a film upon a stream
If you would know reality
Then listen carefully, mark and see
That oneness is a mighty sea
Where pluralism's bubbles team

Myths Surrounding the Lawyer’s Movement
Posted by mabdullah May 31, 2008 11:48 am
it is not only the lawyers' movement which is shrouded in mystery.

also, the media frenzy...and the money being made by GEO, ARY, AAJ, Shahid Masood, Javed Chaudhary, Kashif Abbasi etc is shrouded in mystery.

and, let us not forget those anti-propaganda machines which operate on political expediency even at the cost of national institutions and Islamic values.

Some deplorable examples may be seen at:

Pakistan\'s Nuclear Test - Ten Years Later
Posted by mabdullah May 31, 2008 11:43 am
The bomb day or the so called yom-e-takbeer was celebrated by the supporters of PML-N in some parts of Punjab. What was the reaction in the province where this test was carried out?

Do we care? In the name of democracy....

Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice
Posted by mabdullah May 21, 2008 11:39 pm
by voting for BB and rejecting Murtaza Bhutto, people of Pakistan, Sindh in particular, rejected the notion that PPP was a party of inheritance.

What does Fatima Bhutto count for? but for the fact that she is a granddaughter of ZAB? and a daughter of a failed mother?

melting pot is a failed ideology. mohajirs, sindhis, punjabis, balochis, pakhtuns, and all other ethnic (and other) identities in Pakistan must be respected. They should be free to practice and celebrate their cultural or religious traditions.

Persecution of Religious Minorities In Islamic Countries
Posted by mabdullah May 21, 2008 08:35 am
It is not only other religious minorities but also Islam and Muslims who are at times abused by our fellow Pakistani.

Here is a deplorable excerpt by Mal'oon Tab'an Khamosh (aka TK) of pkpolitics.com

....

TK on April 19th, 2008 12:52 pm

@Sarosh:

Who exactly died and made YOU champion of the rights of “noble ladies” alongwith the head of the bureaue of “vice & virtue” on pkpolitics?… Strong language isn’t just offensive to “noble ladies” it is (or ought to be) offensive to everyone. Offensive language is used to jarr yer fuQQen mind. For you to assume it is offensive only to ladies is Sexist and shows the different boxes that you put these genders in (mentally at least).

You are making sexist claims about the rights of “noble ladies” and assuming people are of a certain religions? It has nothing to do with a “common point of reference” . The sad thing is that you felt against the wall because 3 or 4 people started opposing your view. Do I support publishing someones phone number on the net? NO. Does that bother you? OH NUHOO! As long as human anatomy is not mentioned.. You are JESS FINE!

Don’t make me quote some of the colorful language that the prophet and the sahaba themselves used. Oh wait! I can’t.. because punk-a$$ faux-polite dillweeds like pkTaliban have made sure over the centureis we don’t get the see the real colorful language that your holy-cows used in their daily lives.

You want some colorful language that will put Tab’an Khamosh to shame? Go pick up some volume of Hadith and read the manner and mode of the reproduction of Shayaateen

Oh and don’t forget to read the Quran where it talks about women being your “land” in whcih you can “enter” from the “front” or from the “back”.. (as long as you do not transgress the laws of God — ie; NO ANAL SEX WITH UR WIVES DUDES! )

....

A lot of similar deplorable examples are available at:

All we need is a little bit of decency. While you seem to prefer to view the world from a real black and white perspective (e.g. Mush as criminal and NS as saviour etc), all I could suggest is: pause, and reflect.

Some food for thought can be digged at:

in our hatred of mush or mqm, zardari or asfandyar, mohajirs or qadianis, or whatever and whoever we hate, for whatever reason, we must not lose basic decency. that was my point.

btw, i found some glimpses of your praised pkpolitics.com quite disgusting. hatred begets hatred. did you see these samples:

Posted by mabdullah May 18, 2008 12:27 am
multiple discrimination.... needs our attention.

hate sites such as pkpolitics.com etc

i ask...should not be there certain code of ethics?

here is a sample of hate speech against Mohajirs and Qadianis...all in one go.

mbokhari on May 3rd, 2008 11:27 am

And, oh, stop worshiping your Bakra Altaf Hussain who is the second incarnation of the false prophet of Qadianis, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad mal’oon …I hope Altaf Hussain croaks while on the toilet like Kafir Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (So there!)...

i ask...should not be there certain code of ethics?

www.pkpolitics.com is promoting ethinc hatred against new and old Sindhis. It shows a very sad picture of Pakistan and Mohajirs.

I recently read some shameful details at:

Posted by mabdullah May 17, 2008 06:06 am
www.pkpolitics.com is promoting hatred against religious minorities including Qadianis. Unfortunately this is done by some pseudo-modern thinkers such as M Bokhari (mbokhari).

May 12: One Year Passed, No Lessons Learned
Posted by mabdullah May 15, 2008 10:51 pm
nasah....

i don't think violence is a solution because it is against Islam and it is against law. the best punishment to those who insult our religion and our country is to raise critical awareness amongst our people, through education and peaceful protest, so that Rushdi Juniors such as Maloon M Bokhari and his promoters at pkpolitics.com face a social boycott.

actually I found the following website quite 'enlightening' about the so-called pkpolitics.com
