“You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed — that has nothing to do with the business of the State… We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State… I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in due course Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.” - August 11, 1947 address of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Zia ul Haq was the worst thing that could happen to Pakistan. No corrupt elected ruler or unelected marshal law administrator can top the level of damage Zia has caused since his military coup in 1977. He polluted the very ideology of Pakistan by injecting his version of Islam in the roots of this country. Even after 21 years of his death the country continues to burn in the fire of sectarian and communal violence. Where a rumor of desecration of the Holy Quran can make self appointed army of Islam murder and tear down the property of a minority community. I wonder which divine revenge in the Islamic Shariya allows a Muslim to burn alive innocent women and children.

The incident which is not the first of its nature does not surprise me at all. The silence of the religious parties and Islamic clerics on this incident continues to amuse me. How can you expect from the mullahs to speak against this atrocity, when they kept their jaws sealed whilst Muslims were blown on numerous occasions in the major parts of the country. I am sure a foreign hand will be indicated by these mullahs in this situation and no practical solidarity will be shown by the followers of Islam who teaches solidarity and religious coexistence.

While growing up my late grandmother often used to narrate the following quotation of Imam Ali:

“One can live under infidelity, but one can’t endure brutality”

But we will find no shame by sticking with those golden words which helps us promote our version of Islam. How convenient?

(Note: The post contains some disturbing images, reader discretion is advised for those who cant watch graphic images.)

Israel on Saturday morning launched a massive air raid at Gaza Strip, which according to them was  was targeted at Hamas militants. What was the result:

Death Toll: 225 civilians (mostly women and children) and the number is increasing with every passing hour.

Injured: 700 and more 

From a BBC correspondent:

 I spoke to one man, a civilian, and also a 14-year-old boy who were injured in an airstrike on a police station in the east of Gaza City this morning.

The man said he had been going to work in a clinic when he heard the sound of planes and turned back. But after that he cannot remember what happened - he just woke up injured, with wounds in his hand, leg and stomach.

The teenage boy had blood on his head and was in a lot of pain. He could not even remember his own name. “I don’t even know where I am,” he said to me.

I saw a body too, in the emergency room, with a stick of wood stuck through the chest.

Yesterday I also went into the hospital; the morgue was full and bodies were left in the streets. Parents were scouring the hospital for their children.

I followed one woman who was screaming “my son, my son” as she searched the building. 

So what actually happened in GAZA? May be few pics can give a glimpse:

What was the Civilized world reaction on this act of REAL TERRORISM:

1) WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN GORDON JOHNDROE:

“Hamas’ continued rocket attacks into Israel must cease if the violence is to stop. Hamas must end its terrorist activities if it wishes to play a role in the future of the Palestinian people.”

2) FRENCH PRESIDENCY STATEMENT: 

“He (French President Nicolas Sarkozy) demands an immediate stop to the firing of rockets on Israel and to the Israeli bombings in Gaza and calls for all parties to use restraint.”

 3)BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE STATEMENT:

“The only way to achieve lasting peace in Gaza is through peaceful means. Whilst we understand the Israeli government’s obligation to protect its population we urge maximum restraint to avoid further civilian casualties”

“We also call on miltants in the Gaza Strip to immediately cease all rocket attacks on Israel.”

4) ISRAELI DEFENCE FORCE STATEMENT:

“The IDF will continue its operations against terror in accordance with constant status assessments by the IDF Chief of General Staff. This operation will be continued, expanded and intensified as much as required.”

———

Any word of sympathy for the innocent women and children who lost their lives and were injured? NOPE! I wonder why? Maybe GENOCIDE against Muslims and Arabs doesn’t count. Maybe!

 And what the Arab and Muslim world has to say on this?

The Amir (Ruler) of Mecca/Medina will continue its ties with the CIVILIZED WORLD, after all beggars are not choosers.

ARAB LEAGUE SECRETARY-GENERAL AMR MOUSSA:

“We are facing a continuing spectacle which has been carefully planned. So we have to expect that there will be many casualties. We face a major humanitarian catastrophe”.

EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK, QUOTED BY MENA:

“Egypt will continue its contacts to prepare an atmosphere conducive to restoring the period of calm and achieving reconciliation between the Palestinian groups.”

IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN HASAN QASHQAVI QUOTED BY STATE TELEVISION:

“Iran strongly condemns the Zionist regime’s (Israel) wide-ranging attacks against the civilians in Gaza.”

“The raids agains innocent people are unforgiveable and unacceptable.”

——

Conclusion

Unfortunately Palestine will continue to bleed because nobody in the world has anything to do with this forsaken nation and its people. So what have we learned today?

*Hitler and Nazis are condenmed for the Halaucast.

*Pakistan is under lot of scrutiny for the attacks that are yet to be proven.

*Osama and Al Qaeda are the ultimate danger to worlds peace.

*Iran and Ahmedinijad are danger to the CIVILIZED WORLD especially ISRAEL.

PS: what about the innocent civilian women and childeren in the pics above?

Are they Americans? ==> Nope

Are they Europeons? ==> Nah!

Are they Indian or Israelis? ===> God No!

===============>So WHO Gives a FUCK?<================

For those who were out of town or couldn’t make it to the ‘Karachi Bloggers Meetup 2008’ cuz of some reason missed out a great opportunity to party like a blogger. I know how it sounds like but trust me; we didn’t do anything of any sort which could have possibly made us wake up the other morning with a hangover :P Ok that was a lame joke and so will be the rest of the post. Those who have some sense of humor can read on :P the rest should read dictionary it will increase their vocab.

 

The event started for me when I along with deHog entered the venue (Royal Rodale – Royal 1) one hour earlier; why? Well I didn’t wanna be late plus my mum kicked me out of the house. When we showed up at the place the organizers were clearly surprised to see us because they just got there themselves and were setting up things.

 

Question asked: Who are you guys?

 

Ans: Dhakkan Mujahideens :P

 

Question: What?

 

Ans: We are Blaaaagerssssssss  =)

 

Salaina checked our name on the list gave us our badges and asked us not to take photos until they are done setting up the place. But do us eva listen muhahaha (evil laugh).

After taking some quick shots we decided to settle down on our table. Finally got the chance to meet both Badar Khushnood (Google Pakistan) and the famous Rabia Garib (CIO Magazine) both organizers greeted us with a big smile.

 

 

As the day progressed I got the chance to meet and socialize bloggers, old n new friends and discussed politics, blogging, and how tasteless the red bull was :P  So why were we drinking red bull in the first place and around 2-3pm in noon :P   Dude, it was free. We Pakistanis don’t let any free things go, even if they are allegations from neighboring countries :P

Highlights of the event:

 

  • Rabia Garib with the microphone, the lady is a pro (13 years of experience no small deal). Every time someone tried to take the mic away from her (to ask a question); she used to give ‘em “The Look” and the scared ppl neva touched the mic again :P

 

  • Badar Khushnood is as awesome and cool as google itself. Badar Sahab is google Paksitan hiring? CV fwd kero ;)

 

  • First thing on the agenda was the fact that Doctor Awab does everything but practice medicine, good for the blogging community, even better for his patients. Lolz

 

  • Sabeen Mahmud was having fun on the rolling chair :) she rolled 3rice on her seat during the session. (Ok now somebody gonna ban me from entering t2f :( )

 

  • Saad Hamid (20 Islamabad) and Haris (18 Lahore) makes more money then Asif Zardari ever made through proper (google) channel.

 

 

  • The 2 kids make X000$ per month. Holy Kawwww…….. Everyone in the hall were staring the 2 with open jaws and greedy eyes.

 

  • Fariha was typing typing typing……typing. We know who were you typing for ;)

 

  • If you are a good friend of Jamash, chances are that he’s gonna take a kick ass photo of yours for free and will put it up on the facebook. For people like me chances are slim :( [and I thought we were friends Jamal]

 

  • Munir Usman and Imad Qamar who blogged like 3 posts in 5 years were sitting in the front row posing as professional bloggers. Sitting in front can only help you win some goodies but in Munir’s case even that didn’t happen.

 

  • Ramla said the K word to everyone’s surprise; I would like to defend her in this post. “People; dog is an animal and a much loved one in many civilizations.”

 

  • Everyone TOTALLY LOVED <3 my 5 minutes of Teabreak munjan (aka marketing). I was like BONO out there. [This is a clear example of how big liars we bloggers are haha].

 

  • Mohtashim of IT TAZEE is actually a young energetic guy and for all that time I thought he was 40 something.

 

  • Siyab was the youngest Pakistani blogger in the event (16 yrs). He got the Hassan Raza award :P

 

  • Following the XMAS spirit goodies bag were distributed among the panelist, and those who were able to answer really difficult and mind blogging questions. Yes they copied the format from Tariq Aziz’s “NEELAAM GHARR”

 

  • After there were no questions or goodie bag left they decided to take a Teabreak ;) hmm teabreak….now where did I learned that term ;)

 

  • I ate 2 samosas, 1 small burger and that squared fried thing. I wonder what was that?

 

 

  • Shahzad Khan aka Dehog forced me to make some tea for him, I had to his name ends with a Khan (*scared*).

 

Okay that’s about it for now I am not very candid with the rest of the lot present and therefore can not put them in this post; as a matter of fact I am not very frank with most of the people I mentioned above but I am sure KBM09 will take some time till then;

 

“Blog On! Before we get the Vietnami treatment” ;)

 

I would like to thank Badar , Rabia and their team for smoothly executing such an awesome meet up, we would love to see more such events, but Iam sure most bloggers would like to see the emphasis on serious blogging and active blogger community. Money matters but it cant replace ones passion for blogging.
