I hope they do. I just saw Peshawar's budget today, if PTI delivers on ground. Even if half of the work is sincerely done, expect a Naya KPK, i am not taking side's. You should see the budget, LB government is at least somewhat powerful in KPK. I hope funds are released.

i will but today i have a extra class ... they dont even let me celebrate my Birthday man

That is what makes it a good tactic.

its not tactic yaar , its something like what some people want to hear .. like Interior Sindhi want to hear the name of Bhutto ..
Marsoon Marsoon ,Sindh na Deheeson " , if i write is correct

Personally i will not stand for anyone dividing this country on ethnic basis, it's divided enough thank you. I am all up for more provinces. FATA should be made one, KPK is fine. Sindh should be divided into 2 provinces, Balochistan at least 3, Punjab 3 too. None on ethnic basis but purely on requirement basis. don't aim so high, patwaris like PPP and PMLN will never accept it, mark my words.

I already mentioned i wont support the idea of making province based on Ethnicity .. but for Administration Purpose i will support it .. so if MQM change its stance from Muhajir sooba , to Create a Province for Administrative purpose , i am up for it ...
but i agree , the big 2-3 of Pakistani politics will not let that happen .. PMLN will not let MQM running a entire State with their huge support ..
but let the MQM be happy for some weeks they deserve hahha

Good to see positive change in MQM supporters. MQM itself should clean itself too.

Janab things were always same , no one support Criminal , at least not any MQM supporter of MQM on PDF ..
MQM ke Gali kooche ke Badmash are having a hard time in streets fights these days lol ...
the days are now different , MQM has now realized that they can't do things what they used to do in past ...
MQM cleaning is in process , i wish that process has started long ago ..
now the only thing left is MQM should be ruled by someone other than AH , some sane ,Educated , non Criminal background leader who take over MQM..

It is a good way to divide them, good tactics.

at least not any MQM supporter of MQM on PDF

Many fail to accept if there are, or were target killers in MQM. They don't accept that MQM has an askari wing.

now the only thing left is MQM should be ruled by someone other than AH , some sane ,Educated , non Criminal background leader who take over MQM..

Exactly, non criminals. GTG good day to all.

[notorious_eagle]

what are your thoughts, @notorious_eagle ? any information in this regard? i hope AH is convicted.

It's hard to say. Things have been complicated after it emerged MQM has taken money from RAW, our Intelligence Agencies want Scotland Yard to hand over that evidence but they are unwilling to provide it earning AH temporary respite. It's honestly 50-50, it can go either way as the investigation has been highly politicized and Scotland Yard and Pakistan's Intelligence Agencies are playing a cat-mouse game.

An eye opener articles in todays Jang for those who continuously bash MQM and Karachi by two recognized, unbiased and non Karachiites. Kudos. I am not a big supporter of MQM though but admirer of their discipline.

We know more about Tashfeen Malik today than we’ve ever known about any of the other 354 shooters

Have you heard of a guy named Kenneth Morgan Stancil III? The man who confessed to the mass shooting that took place in April 2015, at the Wayne Learning Centre in Goldsboro, North Carolina, USA?

Do you know which school he went to or where he developed such a ‘lone-wolf attitude’?

‘Lone-wolf and not extremist, obviously; he was white.


Do we know who radicalised him or why he became so intolerant towards his very own society? Do we know why he deemed killing people the only way to prove his point?

No, we don’t. Because back in April when this incident took place, none of these questions were posed by the ‘intellectuals’ on Fox News, ABC News, CNN etcetera.

If you don’t remember this incident, as it happened about eight months ago, perhaps you remember Christopher Harper-Mercer?

Does that name sound familiar?

No?

This mass murderer carried out the ‘hate crime’ (obviously not terrorism) of mass shooting at a college in Roseburg, Oregon this October. I mean, this was fairly recent. This October means what? Two months ago? The details for Kenneth Morgan must have become fuzzy because so much time has gone by. Perhaps we know more about Harper-Mercer.

Do you know which school he went to or where he developed such ‘hate’? Do we know who radicalised him or why he became so intolerant towards his very own society? Do we know why he deemed killing people the only way to prove his point?

Nope, we don’t.

In fact, if you try to look for this man’s information; the school he attended, who his girlfriend was and the countries he visited – despite it being the age of Google, it would not be an easy feat.

Now, let’s come to the most recent of the ‘mass shootings’ to have taken place. December 2, 2015, two people, with Pakistani origins, stormed into a gathering of civil servants and opened fire. Their names were Tashfeen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farooq and the incident is now famously called the San Bernardino carnage. This, we can call terrorism. They were Muslim.

If we forget about Syed Rizwan for one second and just concentrate on Tashfeen, we will realise that, in the past six days since the attack, there has been such an overwhelming amount of information that has been floated around that you will probably be able to find out how many cavities she may have had in her teeth when she was seven-years-old. A simple Google search will give you details right from her birth till her death; countries she visited with dates and stamps, images of her Pakistani national identity card, the exact location of the school she attended, the date of her wedding, the date she gave birth to her child and perhaps even the food she liked to eat. And what’s worse is, it doesn’t end here. You will also be able to find the list of people who might have ‘radicalised’ her, an analysis of how she managed to turn her husband into an extremist (obviously he succumbed to her influence, that’s what Muslim women do, don’t they?), how cruel she was because she didn’t care about her old parents (this argument only applies to this particular case, because… well, the other shooters weren’t Muslim).

You will find endless discussions about how extremist her mind-set was; how she did not go to court for something she believed was not right and instead took matters into her own hands.

While I do not, in any way, deny what did or did not happen, it is just very disturbing to me to see how readily the world ascribes to this completely different set of standards of justice for Muslims and the rest of the world. In a country in which 355 incidents of mass shootings have taken place in the last 336 days,it is surprising that this one incident called for much more scrutiny any of the previous 354 incidents? Were those incidents any less appalling? Why is it that in the case of a shooter with Muslim faith it could not have been a ‘hate crime’ for example? Was it because the victims of the crime were from another religion? Is that how the connection to ‘terrorism’ is being created? Because if I remember correctly, a white, American, male did go on a shooting rampage to a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. I don’t recall that incident being termed as an act of ‘terrorism’. In fact, I am not even sure I recall what religion the assailant ascribed to. It makes me wonder whether that term was coined specifically for incidents of violence (however big or small) instigated by a Muslim.

I do not doubt that this incident was appalling – I do not doubt that it is an utter shame, but what else is an utter shame are our double standards. This pre-set narrative that immediately turns Muslims in to a set of aliens that are against the rest of humanity is as despicable as terrorism itself.

The shootings in San Bernardino were horrific and I would like to extend my condolences to all those people who lost their loved ones in this despicable act of violence. I condemn the San Bernardino shooting just as much as I condemn all 354 other shootings that took place in the US this year. Unlike the Western media, I, for one, have not mastered the art of manipulation – so, to me, each incident is as horrendous as the previous one. Innocent lives were lost, the world mourned and humanity prevailed – and, hopefully, no amount of manipulation will change that.

Whatever they are but we must condemn our own people which are creating mess for rest of the peaceful Pakistani community. We can't justify their acts because whites also doing the same no we should not because we are muslim and our Holy Prophet PBUH teaches us don't kill a single innocent it will consider the murder of the humanity but to save one which will consider as you save the humanity.
