Some crazy mullah has written a book in Norway (apparently being sold at the streets of Oslo) which describes white people as the work of the devil. The book is written in Urdu/Punjabi and being sold by individuals on the streets who quietly approach potential customers. "Putar Shaitan Da" or "Son of Satan" does not call directly for attacks on whites but does call for them to be punished.

"This barbarian, this venomous snake, has poisoned humanity. The white man has set off a diabolical spiral on the entire planet to torment people."

The sad thing is that its being done in the name of Islam. Since when Islam teaches racism?

The next thing which really pissed me off when I first saw it was that cartoon published in Washington Times which had Pakistan written on a dog. Disgusting. But when I thought about it the next day I reallized it was, perhaps, the truth which many of us dont want to face. The ugly things we (The Military to be precise) did in Afghanistan, Tribal Areas (and to Dr Qadeer) justify Washington Time's publication of such cartoon. Afterall we do act upon instructions from Washington, dont we?

Government is spending billions of rupees on ad campaigns aimed to project a SOFT ('Moderate & Enlightened') image of Pakistan. You must have seen some of such ads already on TV or newspapers (along with those Parha Likha Punjab ads which are only aired to show that lovely CM). I really dont understand how these ad campaigns would help gareeb aur unparh log and how can we improve our image as a nation through ads?

There is no point in cleaning the mirror, when what we really need to do is to clean our own face

I wish we had some common sense to spend that money on clean drinking water or education or health where it is needed the most.

I think I need a break. I need to shut down my systems for a while.
