Let's have a quick game

Just saw this image published at a cricketing website with the caption:

Homeless children play cricket after being displaced by the Taliban, Swabi, Pakistan.

I say, while in Pakistan, they are not homeless.They are displaced from warm holdings of a house to harsh surroundings. Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs). They are not homeless because Pakistan is their home. And ours.

Which is why we should think of their displacement as our own. Fell their hurt as our own. See their struggles as our own. All Things Pakistan (ATP) has setup a way for expats to quickly contribute towards this larger cause. Please do your bit, if you have not already.

After silence of months to aid these IDPs, fortunately, media is speaking now. Please come forward to help our fellow Pakistanis who are displaced from their homes, for us. Lets join hands to have our beautiful lands back. Inshah Allah.

    Speaking of the fighting spirit of patriotism and against the enemies of Pakistan. Here is something I got via email:

    ————

    This is the last message of Capt Bilal Zafar Age 26 Years, who embraced Shahdat on 17th. Its emotionally moving and touching. Yesterday I heard his father and brother, they were glad that he embraced shahdat and were so proud! Soldiers like him give us strength and courage, and I am assured that we will defeat this menace of extremism!

    ”In the vollies of bullets..
    In the the thunder of bombs..
    There are a few who just dont stop…
    Know that they r Surrounded by death..
    Knowing that they could leave their wives widows and children orphans,
    But they just keep on moving cuz something is Pumping in their Hearts..
    And flowing through their Veins known as…
    Honour, Devotion,Motivation ! Death over Surrender..
    Thats why they say “DEATH BEFORE DISGARCE”
    ”PAK ARMY ZINDABAD”
