I hear you. Its the curse of having too much time and having already resigned oneself to one's fate, that be. The fact is that most of them would have acted on the opportunity, if they had got one. In the local language, it is put as "Shareef woh hai, jise mauqa nhi mila" (The sober/pious is...

Did you guys notice something? There's no threat of extreme violence and bloodbath, this time. I remember, one always accompanying such "press releases", not so long ago. Losing the heart to fight, are we?

Can you state those reasons? Lets see. I really want to know if you can make a better comment than calling someone a whore. Or will it be again, you having nothing to say while continuing to say everything? You are blaming the wrong people for making it an issue. And nobody is keeping the issue...

Lately, I was listening to a lecture by an extreme (in his words and ideology, as far as I know and for now maybe) scholar named Tariq Masood, who said that by delaying the marriage of our children (which we aren't, because today the situation is different and people require a long time to...

Maybe. Give her a break, I say. She's a teenager and as such more prone than older more mature people to feel uncomfortable talking about certain things. How many people want to answer every single audience question? But the "near death experience" does make her situation unique, right? Someone...

Define "early".

I might be biased. But it is visible, if you work your way towards threads which compare cultures, even if indirectly. Lately, the thread relating to "Pakistanis criticizing the dressing of Malala Yousufzai at Oxford". Please, do have a look. The rampant Jihadism in the United Kingdom might be...

Why do they leave the civilization, in the first place? I have seen too many overseas Pakistanis exhibit disturbing traits and line of thinking, at times. Most of them know what a life in third world country is like. I don't understand the reluctance to adapt or at least tolerate the culture...

You are correct. I most certainly can't imagine. It must be hell. Humans are strange, that is all. Sometimes, faith and belief can come before the human needs. Yeah, migrated from Bihar to East Pakistan (present day Bangladesh). I am the son, of one.

Is every person carrying the name "Al Saud" after his/her name, by definition a member of royal family, thus highly eligible for Governmental positions and wealth or both? It always confuses me, there must be thousands of people. I am told that the NYPD is based on the Gotham City Police...

Indeed, to argue otherwise would be futile for the sole reason of it being indefensible. Actually no, I wasn't there for that long. I had to leave because of some personal issues. So I never came into contact, with the embassy staff in U.A.E. A healthy expiry on my passport and never having the...

I believe that the family praised the Pakistani army and didn't have one word to say about ISAF or anyone else for that matter, during the interview back home.

As soon as the American justice system takes care of a certain Nauman Ali (the community leaders have already found him guilty) on sexual harassment charges, he will be joining the elite group of the so called religious scholars who have abused their "position of trust", caused people tangible...

I don't know exactly how many. But those who chose not to take it, did so by their own choice. For reasons of having one sided love towards Pakistan, when the Pakistani Govt itself is least concerned with their plight. The Bangladeshi Govt's offer was sincere and far reaching.

Not so long ago, someone was really feeling hyper-religious and called on Amir Liaquat's show. He asked him how he could do a program in "mixed gathering" and when women are wearing such clothes (or something to that effect- I don't precisely remember). Amir Liaquat's reply was epic and...

Most of the times, its just people trying to prove something to somebody or even to themselves. I believe that it is one of those instances. In a place of religious worship or a religious gathering, the cleric shouting the loudest and with most emotions, is the one who has the weakest faith...

Isn't it enough for everyone to enjoy? Otherwise, you are saying high "sadism" in different words.

Forget it, just go to the Pakistan models thread on this very forum. Tell me what you see. Why? Are they not enjoying the same, they criticize, by merely living in the West?

Whats surprising is that Pakistanis living in and enjoying the West, seem to be highly bothered by her clothes and appear very vocal in their opposition. Do you have nuns walking on your streets, lately? Pakistanis living in this country, I can still understand. But where is that hypocrisy...

I have seen similar if not more in this country. So, why is the public not bothered there? She really is decent. She is still carrying the dopatta over her head, even though she isn't required to, knowing the attire and considering where she is. Yeah Astagfirullah, kidhar hai, kidhar hai? (God...
