Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Woww, an interesting perspective you have given us to think about.. I would have never thought about it like that… I mean you’re right, it is creating in our minds as well as the minds of non-muslims as to who we are… people killing maniacs!! :S
I think it’s cool, at least they’re creating jobs for sign painters!
But seriously, Saudi is extreme and everyone should know. I think there are a hundred thousand better places to smoke a joint.
I’ve been living in Bahrain for over a year now, we see the results of suppressed Saudis every weekend coming here to let out steam and crash their cars. I don’t blame them I wouldn’t go if you paid me!
By concealing orignal Alias? …..>…..
Adnan Siddiqi,
It was my first comment on any blog on this site.
Anyway its not my intent to convince anyone either. This convince thing was just a figure of speech.
Cheers
I have a 6 year old son and I wonder what he woudl think if he saw this billboard and what I could say to him to explain this. What would he think of Arabs in general, of killing people with sword, of chopping people’s heads off. No matter everything else, such a graphic and horrific image should not be allowed in a public space simply for the subtle messages it sends to everyone, specially to children.
