@Faraz

believing in “god” is a very subjective matter.. and I have personally no problem with people who believe that playing dead all their lives will please their “god” .. I believe in “god” too..

its the fear of dancing in this country which is the problem.. the fear of being happy.. in public !!

The problem in our country is that the dead people want to force the alive ones to play dead too !!! and since the take over of the religious goons on this country their fear tactics are are only now being exposed, and consequently loosing their grip.. maybe the two extremes have to be born in order for a balance to take place..

if the religious goons live and let live… we wouldn’t be having this discussion.. I would rather have been cringing and fuming over these guys in dancing to a foreign MNC rather than a local one :D

Salman, no matter what ridiculous labels you put (admirable, heartening etc.) on this paid-for dance show, and no matter how much you deride religion, the average Pakistani does believe in a “god.” You should read the article posted here by Dr Aslam about “Pseudo-Pakistaniat.”

Highly admirable…

to my religionized fellow Pakistanis.. who are all cringing over what is so admirable and heartening about this… let me clarify..

its heartening that there are people still ALIVE in Pakistan .. who embrace life as it is.. and don’t play dead as supposedly required by “god”

its heartening that these people seem to even embrace death at the hands of my fellow religionized Pakistanis.. that is what makes them ALIVE ..

chalo ab sub mil ker haath uthao .. may the 60-year-old fear of our religionized goons on our society be danced away.. Ameen
