This is a very strange thing to say. If what you say is true, why don't we extend it to other things? For example, you might as well have said:
1) Even though I have a lot of respect for M.A. Jinnah, I don't think it is appropriate to call him Father of the Nation (Baba-i-Qaum).

I don't know how seriously we should take him. He seems to be pissed off with Pakistan itself. He feels that Pakistan is an ungrateful country that threw him to the wolves after having used him for 30 years. Specifically, in this interview, Dr. Khan says that "may is mulk kay liye kabhi kuch aur...

Nawab Bugti once said, "The body of Balochistan has been taken over by a parasite called the Punjabi-Worm. This Punjabi-worm greedily eats away at all the resources of Balochistan and leaves very little for...
As long as you don't offend your customers (targeted-market), offending others can be a very smart business move.
Just look at this 2-bit store. Even if the owner had spent a million dollars, he would never have managed to get the massive publicity he got by offending the Israelis and the...
