Sultan?
 
I don't care what they call themselves, mate.
I judge by actions and I have a Qur'an at hand.
Murdering faithfuls in a Mosque is not Islam.

Takfir or not takfir, Tay.
You are absolutely right sir.
I hope we people also keep the Quran at hand, that will help us lot!
Thank you for speaking about this.
 
Sharing is caring

Though its interior Balochistan but this kind of cute sight could be anywhere in rural Pakistan
 
Based on total number of pageviews, here are the stories you liked the most in the past year:

1) Meet the woman who honeymoon'd alone after her husband's visa got rejected

One woman's Facebook post about her honeymoon sans husband goes viral. We spoke to Huma Mobin about her solo adventure in Greece.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • "Best wishes to the couple. The honeymoon may not have worked out as planned, but after witnessing this couple's sense of humour I get the impression they are going to have a fun married life :) Try the Maldives next time, you will not need a Visa and its beautiful."

  • "Hard to be Pakistani now a days!!!!!" :((

  • "It is their personal business how they wanted to handle the adversity. Nothing wrong in accompanying her in-laws on a foreign trip without her husband. It shows the maturity of her husband. Love is about seeing each other happy."
2) Who is Qandeel Baloch and what is she doing on my timeline

560bc2b1843cf.jpg



Our first of many explorations of the phenomenon that was Qandeel.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • "I love you Qandeel Baloch she's awesome"

  • "Qandeel has definitely beaten all the Meera, Reema and Veena etc; she is one we needed" :D

  • "looooooool. her singing voice is actually quite good, unfortunately coupled with low IQ it can't end up well."
3) Pakistan reacts to Qandeel Baloch's shocking murder

Tributes poured in as news of the Facebook celebrity's death surfaced.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • "I was not a fan or anything of her but how can you kill a women? Pakistan and its people who are moderate and doesn't support this, that there is a very big majority of people who even support this and happy on this. We should understand that one day we can be killed under the name of Honor and of Blasphemy law. If you do something different from the culture you will be killed. This kind of issues will never help Pakistan to move forward."

  • "I couldn't believe it when I read this. I always found everything about her very amusing. There was naivety in her risqué antics. Turns out her brother was the one who really disgraced the country. How can people define moral conduct and more importantly expect women to adhere to it. Western countries are not liberal because women can wear revealing clothes or do things that 'cultured' girls don't but because they are not judged. And what's with the sudden rise in 'honor' killings in Pakistan?"

  • "What a sad and tragic end to a wonderful life. A very sad and dark day indeed for women empowerment in Pakistan. I hope she finds peace in afterlife."
4) Sindh's new sports minister has some serious swag, and wants you to know

We noticed that the 28-year-old Sardar Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar is more stylish than sporty. Cue a stalking session.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • "What a poser. Thinks he is a bollywood star. Get a grip man and do something good for ur country and people instead of grooming yourself day and night."

  • "Maybe a new ministry for fashion is what he should be heading?"

  • "Wished there was "swag" in his grammar as well" :p
5) Qandeel Baloch is dead because we hate women who don't conform

578a0202b3616.jpg



On the eve of Qandeel Baloch's murder, editor Hamna Zubair pens this tribute to the misunderstood social media celebrity and wonders what her murder signifies about the state of women in Pakistan.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • "A disgusting act of taking away the life of another human being and which never be pardoned .After all ,this is an act of double standards outside and inside of ones home. The brother needs to be tried and convicted for murder."

  • "We, in South Asia, are such a culture of double standards! Men in our culture are brought up in a manner where they grow up to become control freaks. In a vicious circle where women, as mothers, are mostly responsible for, subconsciously, teaching their sons to grow up to become controlling monsters and these same men grow up to control the next generation of women. Mullahs help with suggestions like, "lightly beating" women. Life goes on... But not for those who try to effect change. This cycle is so deeply rooted in our society that I frankly don't see a way to end it."

  • "Only if people try to educate their 'sons' instead of their 'daughters' then they will not commit such murders of their sisters, wives or daughters or even a road crossing women! The problem in Pakistan is everyone try to restrict their daughters, teach their daughters, have an opinion on them and the sons are allowed to do whatever they want to.....that is where the problem starts!"
6) Everything you need to know about the Qandeel Baloch video we never asked for

578380fc94df0.jpg



Qandeel Baloch made her debut as the main attraction of a music video. We interviewed the singer and producers to learn more about the making of 'Ban'.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • Nothing different than what we see in Lollywood movies these days."

  • "People tolerate all kinds of vulgarity like bribery, lies, theft of national treasures. The only reason one would watch this is if they go to YouTube seeking it. She is free to do whatever she wants because you don't own her and she doesn't own you. Each to his own."

  • "What is happening to the country that produced the likes of Mehdi Hassan, Noor Jehan, Abida Parveen and Alam Lohar? I had believed that at least Pakistan with its conservatism would save some of our joint traditional music."
7) Twitter trolls Shafqat for getting national anthem wrong at Eden Gardens

1280x720-iQk.jpg



When Shafqat Amanat Ali sang the qaumi tarani out of tune at the World Twenty20 final, Twitter was merciless in its wrath.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • "What went wrong with Shafqat, he did not memorized National Anthem good, he committed mistake. Ordinary person could have read the national anthem better. Pity."

  • "After all he is human. Show some tolerance!"

  • "Non seriousness on the part of singer. Out of tune, out of passion..."
8) This American was quizzed on Twitter about her travels to Pakistan and her answers will amaze you

579f2513a267e.jpg



Former Goodwill Ambassador to Pakistan, Cynthia D. Ritchie gushed about her travels through Pakistan on Twitter and Pakistanis bombarded her with praise and questions.

And here's what you had to say about it:

  • "Yes, the best way to understand each other and the world around you is to see for yourself. We have to open up to others and others have to open up to us. Have a open mind. Two weeks back I visited the Lake Districts in the U.K. and the scenery was like heaven on earth. Pakistan is bestowed with matchless natural beauty, we have to learn to appreciate what we have, and share it with the world."

  • "A lot of white people travel to Pakistan. Why is this so special? If one White woman traveling to Pakistan is news, that means the situation is not as good as we think :)"

  • "I have been living in US almost 45 years and love of Pakistan takes me 2 or 3 times-to the country of my Birth. But all the talk about criminal activities prevent me to take my wife to this beautiful place with me most of my trips. My utmost desire and prayers are that this stigma of security can be rid from our country and common people of Pakistan can live freely like the eletes lives. And country can use the resources to give chance to commoners to see this Diversify beautiful hospitiable people and cultures. Hope more and more foreigner can feel safe and visit our country. May Almighty bless this country and people."
