I left the US because of their hatred towards Muslims… this is my story

[Chinese-Dragon]

This kind of satire is great for a read, but unfortunately doesn't have much impact since most people won't get it.

 

[Roybot]

We seem to be attracting a lot of Indian retards on this forum these days!

Ahmadi's do not face any prosecution, they are simply forbidden to call themselves Muslims. Shai's, Bori's, Agha Khanis, Hindus, Christians and even Jews do not face prosecution. The difference b/w Ahmadi's and the others is that Ahmadi's continue to defy our constitution and the collective decision of the Muslim world while the others do not.



Actually, if what Roybot says is indeed correct, then this guy is just a bigot and a liar as he could just as easily have claimed that he was not a 'Muslim' and lived happily ever after!

Wtf are you on about? Not my problem if you want to live in denial and not my problem if the article was too clever for you. And I can pay you back in the same coin, so avoid ad hominem attacks.

Clever guy. When I read the article, I could not believe it.

I had read Parvez Hoodhbhoy's article earlier...

While Pakistan’s terrified religious minorities live in fear of an intolerant majority, American Muslims get protection both from its people and the state. A personal example: the day after 9/11, I was appalled by the wild joy among my students. Worried about my former students, now studying in various US universities, I emailed them. Their return emails were reassuring. White American students had formed defence committees; no Muslim student was ever harmed on any campus. So even though George W Bush — a religious zealot — was preparing to invade Iraq, ordinary Americans were largely decent.


Third, the nauseating hypocrisy of Pakistan’s radicalising West-hating, West-baiting leaders needs to be exposed. For example, Imran Khan — who speaks of the West as the fountainhead of evil — prefers to keep his family in London and New York, owes his fame to a game invented by British colonialists, and employs real doctors rather than hakeems for his cancer hospital.

I never actually seen observing Christians in this country besides two of them and one is close to me. I think it has more to do with how they perceive your race. In Michigan, it's a little different people don't talk about religion much here and I'm a strong hearted man so ill go over a few things that bothered me but were not enough to make me want to leave. We Muslims should stay reproduce and give it a couple decades and this is how everything will have to become proper. As for stereotyping it happens against everybody and we should get used to it and take legal action if it's bothering someone.

Back to the race part, my friends back in high school and the 'popular' people considered me a white person for some reason. I sounded white, was educated like those certain groups of people and similar interests. So they actually liked me very much and one would call me his Palestinian friend every time I see him and I had a friend who became a marine and he was willing to discuss regional politics. Then there was that one guy who was a friend then was told by his father to stay away from me, I could care less about it until he started spreading rumors about me in school. Easy solution, I confronted him and he stayed quiet since then and began respecting me opening the doors for me when I encountered him.

The people who are full of hate usually end up being the most cowardly people on this earth. I had a instance where a coward was staring down my sister at 7/11. I was in my car three cars to the left only to here my fathers voice. Staring him down asking him if he's alright and I saw this drunken looking man eating sunflower seeds and just staring at her like he wants to kill her. I jumped out the car to fathers defense just incase.

Mostly here this anti Muslim sentiment comes from a portion Jews, and a portion of the Chaldean community and a portion of the white community. Some Jews though are quick to people's defense when a Muslim is victimized, and for Chaldeans the other larger portion actually have very good relations with Muslims and often are good friends.

We need to man up, although I'm sure New York would be a tougher thing to deal with. Either had I had people come to my face or say anything to me or my siblings I would dare all the cowards in this nation to say a thing to me.

Unfortunately, most if this stems from ignorance of the media. Many Americans only hear things on the tv and don't have knowledge on any conflicts over seas. In general, the educated ones do however.

I suggest all Muslims in this country arm themselves, this is what I'm doing and if a bigot decides to be a criminal one day he will be up for something very bad. Don't tolerate threats to be easy with people. Some people need to learn their lesson so they'd stop hating.

Excellent article, OP forgot to post the most important part!

Key:

Pakistan = United States
United States = Pakistan
Harvard Medical School = King Edward Medical University
Mt Sinai Medical School = Punjab Medical College
MIT = University of Engineering and Technology (UET)
Christian = Other Muslims
Christianity = Islam
Christ = Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Muslims = Ahmadis
Boston = Lahore
Lahore = Boston
San Jose = Rabwah
New York = Faisalabad

A graduate of King Edward Medical University in Lahore and Mt Sinai University Hospital in New York who is currently completing his Cardiology fellowship at Tufts University in Boston, USA.

People (in this case the OP) forget that jumping to post an article without understanding it completely normally leads to EOTFS (Egg on the face syndrome)

What is funny is that the sunnis still support zionist Al Qaeda because they think they only attacks the shias

Actually Al Qaeda are very bad for muslims because they behead taking the name of Allah TMM

Muslims must attack and destroy all salafists everywhere if they want to luve in peace and be respected by other people

I left Pakistan because of their hatred towards Ahmadis… this is my story. I was born in 1982, in the beautiful Pakistani city of Rabwah. A proud patriotic Ahmadi Pakistani, my dad would decorate our house with lights every Fourth of July.

Fast forward to the year 2001, when I got admitted to one of Pakistan’s top medical schools – the King Edward Medical University in Lahore. Moving from Rabwah was hard. I stayed in the dorm. Every morning, when I went to take a shower, I saw a sticker on one of the bathroom mirrors on my floor that said,

‘Whoever is a friend of the Ahmadis is a traitor of Muslims and of Pakistan’.

In the evenings, sometimes, I would go to the reading room to study. Right on the entrance door, I would find the same sticker. I saw similar messages written on public vans and buses and plastered on walls across Lahore. I heard fiery speeches against Ahmadis by Muslim clerics in downtown Lahore, some calling for my death. I felt intimidated, unwelcomed and unaccepted.

I often wondered why there was not a single Muslim student, out of the thousands at King Edwards, who had the moral integrity to tear down the hate stickers on campus – hate stickers that openly attacked me for being Ahmadi.

Would Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) not preach universal love and peace? What had happened to those who claimed to follow him? I waited and waited for my five years at medical school but these stickers never came down.

Then, when I found out that a group of Muslim students had forced the administration of Punjab Medical College in Faisalabad to expel all 23 of its Ahmadi students from that medical school, and were threatening widespread violence, I forgot my own pain for a bit. At least I was still able to pursue my studies. These other students had lost their careers merely for having an identity.

Soon after, I also found out that Muslim engineering students at University of Engineering and Technology (UET) were forbidden to eat in the university cafeteria and dorm kitchens. Muslim student groups had complained that Ahmadi presence was making the food filthy and hurting the sentiment of ordinary Muslims at UET. I forgot my pain once again. At least, I could still eat freely at King Edwards.

The atmosphere of intimidation never grew calm. I had some Muslim friends but most were friends as long as I did not express my religious views openly. Attacks on Ahmadis kept growing and discrimination against them had become an accepted norm. Even Ahamdi graves were attacked in cities across the Pakistan for polluting Pakistano soil. I still decided to stay in the Pakistan and help people in and around Rabwah. I continued to hope things would improve.

However, after a series of other targeted attacks on fellow Ahmadi doctors, I decided to leave Pakistan in 2008. I could not take it anymore. I moved to America to pursue a career in cardiology. My friends ask me if I will ever return to Pakistan. I think I will but not until the Islamic clergy stops condemning me as ‘worthy of death’ and the Pakistani government stops jailing me for calling myself a Muslim openly and for professing my faith as I deem fit.

I miss Pakistan a lot but I also love my new homeland. There are a few bigots here as well but I never have to worry about them. My friends come to my rescue before I know it. I am different but I am loved. I feel welcomed and accepted. I have the freedom to speak and profess my faith. Until my motherland is reformed, I shall stay in America God willing.

I am currently pursuing a degree in cardiology in Boston and this is my story.

Because they have more sense than half the threads opened by other Pakistani (and Indian) members

I left the US because of their hatred towards Muslims… this is my story

I was born in 1982, in the beautiful American city of San Jose, California. A proud patriotic Muslim American, my dad would decorate our house with lights every Fourth of July.

This is such a tragic and deep rooted article that one has to really stop and count up all the facts, only then can the individual understand the topic being discussed.

Lol, and I think half of the people that thanked this article will withdraw it the moment the understand its true content.

Thats just lame bro. You do realise that i didn't change the article, thats how it was meant to be, the article was about Ahmedis and Pakistan all along. So if you have to have a go at someone, it should be the writer.

Am just the messenger, helped a lot of people understand the message the article was tryna send. . But seems like people like you still didn't get it!
