No man is an island , the happenings around him will effect his life one way or the other whether that is met with acknowledgement or negligence varies from person to person. At certain instances the circumstances make an entity suffer more than it deserves. Pakistan unfortunately comes under the list of such entities. Our friends and our enemies both have mutually witnessed and agreed upon the usual pre-defined faith of this nation . We have strongly been associated with America since the very beginning, a tie we cant over-look. As a third world country with massive loans , we have always been acting and continue to do so as any third world country would to a super power. The usual anti-American sentiment boosted while the world sat on the verge of changing scenarios post and pre sept 11. Our generations went by accepting the global sentiment of MIGHT IS RIGHT , but this calm acceptance changed in to a protest when we were tagged as ALLIES . A role a normal man didn’t think he deserved and now doesn’t think he wants to be associated with . While we make our voices stronger against the global hatred towards America , what needs to be realized is how we have come to a corner where the next turn will unleash a different world altogether . A world where our uncertainties will be answered in ways we all feared for a long time now . The geographical importance of Pakistan has always made it the nursery for chaotic regimes , whether with pride or under threat . As every patriot or every citizen at least , even I don’t have the broad mindedness to accept some facts that are held against my country now. Although some of them or most of them are based on the truth . To a more rational me this period seems much like a PAY BACK time for faults made in the past . As all is FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR , our fate remains to suffer the cons of an ill-fated history. The only difference I hope to see in myself and my people today is that unlike in the past , we should now learn to take lessons from history . We should accept and move on and learn to rationalize , not suffer from western , ethical, religious and now Media oriented epidemics. For once in our times lets not follow others mission in vainly ,Keep our life’s simple and make the current experiences a source of self grooming for betterment in the future.

With no offence or prejudice your site is more less its political and social under currents and problems your country is experiencing its no where related to Islam. I m yet to find a post about Islam which can add benefit to those who wants to learn the authentic islam.
I just wanted to convey this to you nor do i want this comment to appear on the site. It will not be appropriate if you read then pls delete inshallah. I hope you take the words of a muslim with husnath dhan inshallah.

You know two weeks back i went to wagha border to see the gate closing ceremony and the picture reminded me of that. The baba jee appearing in the picture was also there and it seems he is there every Sunday. The place was as crowded as it appears here in the picture.
