This photograph, was taken yesterday (Nov. 2) by Khalid Tanveer of the Associated Press. Take from a different angle, it continues to boggle the mind. It is a train coming back from Multan after a religious congregation. Was this just a photo-op or were they actually traveling like this.
Did anyone call the Gunniess Book of World Records to count the number of people stuck to the train?

I think these people are deprived of entertainment in their lives and out just to chill. We should just admire their courage of smiling under poverty. Good perspective i must say!
Here is a video of a train in the same Ijtama in the outskirts of Multan.

There exists such a thing as “Wahabization” of Sufism as well… it is not discussed very often but we see that these “tolerant” Muslims are now increasingly radical to match the radicalism of Wahabi Muslims… and often there is little or nothing that separates them from each other.
The fantasy of low church and high church now only exists in the make-believe world of academia.
