A tough Day for Pakistan as Terrorists wreak havoc
Posted in Civil Rights, Democracy, Pakistan, People, Terrorism on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Past week has been really tough one for Pakistan. Multiple suicide attacks and most importantly some shoot out style attacks on the offical buildings. The vigor and effect of these attacks is very important to notice. These attacks show planning and effectiveness in execution of terrorists, it also shows weakness of our administration.

Today someone sent me the link of a Fulbrighter student posting her experience on the website. It is rare to see Pakistani Fulbrighters coming out and telling their story and it is extremely rare to see it in form of graphic novel.

Jewish Freier and Pakistani Shareef

I was reading an article http://www.momentmag.com/Exclusive/2009/2009-10/200910-Opinion-Breger.html
One of the biggest fears of an Israeli is to be a frier—Yiddish for pushover—a person who is taken advantage of by, among other things, following rules. Unfortunately, far too many Israelis—and their elected officials—equate fidelity to the rule of law with being such a fool.
That word got me interested, especially [...]

Nice piece about Why people come to America

Recently during one debate a religiously minded member of the group (not this one) referenced Quaid-e-Azam’s State bank speech for the basis of Islam for Pakistan. But that member is not alone in this. I have seen many secular minded people quoting Quaid-e-Azam’s speeches and his life to state that Pakistan should be secular. These arguments are [...]

I was just listening Charlie Rose and there was Peter G Peterson. I am totally impressed by what he was saying about the Economics.

One of the most difficult matter with which Muslims have to deal with is, naming the terrorists.The enemy that is killing them.
This problem is unique for Muslims. No other nation or group has to deal with this problem with so much complication.
For, rightly or [...]
