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

Only a mind far distanced from reality would say something nutty like: “Majority of you live in western world, and hate their prosperity.” Contrarily, we love this prosperity resulting from the opportunities to do our best, the freedom to practice our faith without being on the receiving end of judgments passed by the ‘oh so religious’ bigots, and the right to express our opinions. Granted it is not a perfect society but it is a lot better than the alternatives.
We (those who call the ‘western world’ our new home) still love the homeland that imparted education and upbringing to be competitive. We are hurt by the miseries of our compatriots ‘back home’ and support all efforts to pull it out of its mess.
Those who live in a society (or its prosperity) that they hate should gather the courage to pack up and move to a place they won’t hate, unless ‘hate’ is all they can do.
I appreciate all view points. You are all highly intellectuals. Please ask one question to yourself. Majority of you live in western world, and hate their prosperity. None of us want to go back. Why? It is lack of social justice. We can solve all the problems of Pakistan, if we all stop hating each other political views and work towards giving SOCIAL JUSTICE for every pakistani, no matter who that is.
CAN WE MAKE THE COMMITTMENT TODAY. Instead of voting C+ for The corrupt Iftikhar Chaudry, we should take charge of Justice System in our hand, we the Pakistanis living abroad. Tell me are we willing to take initiative. If we do, we should approach OBAMA, and do it. Believe it the solution is only in Social Justice, not in politics or religion.
I hope that some one will understand my point.
Desperation!
It is rightly said here, “it’s a cancer”
These criminals are the outer face and most extreme form of MULLAism. The most important fact, which is always ignored, is… THIS IS THE OUTCOME OF 12 CENTURIES OF THE SO CALLED ISLAM, SHARIAH AND IGNORANCE.
This is a transition from ignorance to pure Quranic ideals. When the ignorance so deep rooted, covered by hundreds of layers of miss perceptions and triggered by greed, lie, hate and narrow-mindedness… it produces such criminals!
No one can stop this transition, in fact, these criminal acts accelerates the process!!!
