The crux of the whole article. Anyone expecting anything different would be naive, to say the least. Pakistan has a dependency on America, a deep deep dependency, relating to all sphere of governance and even security and beyond. And dependencies, all for them, are neither broken in one day nor...

Ironically, Hamid Gul of all people. Used and discarded by the Americans, too smart earlier to realize that he was a pawn, in a game of pawns. But like ordinary people, he kept defending his life mistakes, even when asked the question of the Soviet war in T.V. shows post-retirement. Of course...

Oh, your time will come. Wait. People can have delusions for a long time, sometimes even for their whole life. But delusions, being delusions, have little logical basis or reasons to exist and hence are so fragile, to get broken at the slightest instance of the mind realizing that something's...

That is good to hear. But the law being based on the ground realities and a deep understanding of the human condition "usually", identifies that human beings make mistakes, since it is in their nature and that errors are inherent in all of human endeavors. There's an Australian friend of...

Occam's razor. The simplest explanations are usually the best. Almost all of the times, a third party is not needed to read and understand. But then comes ignorance, even from the most highly educated people. Of course not! That would be hilarious for a bunch of guys, who don't even know what...

What was that verse again? Hold fast to the rope of Allah and don't get divided into groups. - or something to that effect.

But I am not showing sympathy with anyone, at all. I told you already. The problem is that its never considered feasible owing to the conditions, it wasn't feasible back then, it isn't feasible right now and most probably it will not be feasible, in the future. Pakistan has always been run, on...

It is illogical to deny it, not because it is mentioned in the Holy-book, but because it is only rational to let people decide for themselves. Whatever they consider is the truth. If you and I were to look for it, a better source can be found. The doubt isn't whether the boy died on blasphemy...

To my dear countrymen. See, the topic of the thread is the death of a boy from a minority in this country. Bringing in America or India, would only serve to reinforce the fact that you guys, even if deep inside you and in a little dark damp corner of your mind, know the story to be true and...

The causes might be the lack of the education and extreme poverty. Blood, is never, dirty, on its own. If he was tried to be converted peacefully or politely and he refused. That is by itself, equal to blasphemy, for someone. Refusal to believe in the true religion (even though the religion...

So, in principle, you are agreeing with the poster you are replying to, while adding the word "peaceful" and reaffirming your right to self defense in polite words? Second thing, the problem is never anyone's belief, but what one is doing, to act upon it. How do you guys deal with the...

Would it be surprising, though?

I am certain General Qamar Bajwa or Major General Asim Ghafoor can criticize the civilian Govt, the economy or any other thing they want, as tax paying Pakistanis. But is the same true, for when they are speaking or giving statements in an official capacity? I would really appreciate, if...

I say, give it more time. It will become visible to you, after the dust has settled. Others aren't in power and don't pose an equal and credible threat, yet. And for specifically that reason and for the time being, the others aren't suffering at all. I remember two-three excerpts from news, how...

And so? Debunk his arguments, if they are so nonsensical and rubbish. Who's stopping you? Why ask for his opinions to be deleted, just because you don't agree with them? What good would curbing the right to free speech do?

Okay, a simple question then. Who else has been convicted and disqualified by the courts since Nawaz Sharif and his family, got the sharp end of the sword? Anyone? I mean its been long since then and if this isn't a facade but a genuine systematic beginning of accountability in the country, then...

I don't know whether you are saying this out of malice because he's from Pakistan or out of respect for the game. But he was too young, came from a poor background and thus susceptible to manipulation by senior players. The mistake he made, he paid for it, by not being allowed to play for years...

No, there's preferential treatment to a large extent. But you are right about communication skills, plus a certain set of basic life skills they demonstrate. Yeah, why settle? I believe you, guys transferring from security to cabin crew was extremely rare but not unheard of. There's a certain...

In UAE, I noticed something else too. The country which you are from and the color of your skin, matters a lot too. One one hand, you have Europeans, Americans, South East Asians and Australians getting the finest cabin crew jobs (you would say "wow" if I were to detail the salary and amenities)...

I really don't know, anything about that.
