Jingoism

I got an unexpected response for my last most critic post about 1st Annual Blog Awards from the readers . Some of them were extraordinary supportive that I couldn’t stop being senti=| I am greatful to those commentators who have shared their opinions against that post. Just wanted to share some of the comments that were really amazing and gave inspiration none of its kind:

• I just wanted you to know that there people like me who really appreciate for bringing this up and voicing your opinion

• good journalism shows us all the sides of an issue.

• @jingoists Great post.

• Its really very brave of you

• I was feeling the same thing for a long time.

• Courage to speak truth is indeed a big thing, do not ever lose it.

• I didn’t dare say anything because most of the people are my friends and yet you did

• Its the same people everytime and they only promote their own people- very few can point out this as its one powerful group

I kept them anonymous because, most of the comments belong to the people who are friends of those who I have strongly criticized in my post earlier. So Stand up Bloggers!! Its time to spread the truth regardless if its bitter for our dearest friends. We have bigger responsibilities then just keeping our friends happy. As described by Awab Alvi in the latest episode of laidbackshow episode 20 that CIO people are sweet by nature and they want to keep their friends happy.

ps: this is just a request that we shoudn’t start criticizing to that extent that we forget to appreciate things happening around us. All the best!

A Host was interviewing a renowned personality of that time in front of a large audience. Host asked that person to advice the new generation in view of your experiences and observations. That person responded, “I won’t go for a long speech and just advice one thing……… ‘Whatever you do, Do it with perfection (Kamal-e-Husn)’……”

Somebody from audience who (may be) had a grudge against that person, gave a loud comment addressing the personality:

“No matter you are at this high place now, don’t forget that you used to polish the shoes in the city”

That personality responded the commentator by saying:

“Indeed! I have no shame to tell everyone that I used to polish shoes in the city……But do remember that, even at that time there was no one in the city who could polish the shoes with the perfection… that I had”

Kehtey hein Umeedein he Na Umeed kartee hein!!

But the fact remains there that NaUmeedi bhee aik Gunah hai!! Any how, a good friend of mine forward this nice song ‘Umeed-e-Seher’ sung by ‘Laal’ (written by Faiz Ahmed Faiz) Monday morning. I had heard it earlier though and it got stuck in to ma mind till when I was thinking to have sweet dreams =)

I couldn’t stop my self and started searching this song. I played it after finding it on YouTube and recalled that video that I had watched earlier. Check out the video!

Its not just about the song but a moral that has been given in this video. A person who is with his dear Mother in the Ambulance, tried his best to request the POLICEMEN to let the Ambulance go, that is stuck in the traffic jam due to a VIP movement. Those morons didn’t listened to that guy and sent him back in front of the crowd and no one moved out of their cars. THAT’S WHAT WE DO IN OUR DAILY LIVES

That guy lost his patience and rushed against the hurdles placed by the security men and Police started beating that poor soul.

Watching that everyone came out from their cars and made a united effort to stop the VIP movement right away and let the Ambulance go. It resulted in the stoppage of the VIP movement and poor soul finally got his civil right and took her mother to the destination.

This isn’t just one example that shows that the unity has its own worth. One of my teacher used to say that 1 remains (1) One unless some other 1 joins, to make it 11 (eleven). We need lots of 1′s and 2′s to bring the change.

Let us stay united and stand in front of all the upcoming hurdles of peace and prosperity. In a hue n cry situation after the thunderstorm that hit Karachi, I really liked a post by a fellow mate at work. Do read it as well

PAKISTAN IS AS SAFE/UNSAFE AS ANY OTHER PLACE IN THIS WORLD! The video clip shows a Pakistan that is largely hidden from the public eye in the West. Without doubt, religious extremism, some decadent Madressahs and violence exist in Pakistan but such symbols are not entirely representative of Pakistan – rich cultural heritage, architectural
This is an effort to show this side of the coin as well.

Conversation between two very old Muslims friends namely Ibad and Abdullah that I received through a forwarded email. Read it till end…. I am sure you gonna like it!

Ibad : Oh my GOD , abdullah is that you !!! whats wrong ? you’ve becomemullah and why have you grown a beard ?

Abdulllah : bother it is just that our prophet (pbuh) commanded us to grow
a beard.

Ibad : you are brain-washed , tell me where in the quran does it say ?
Abdullah : It says many times in quran “Obey Allah and Obey his messenger”

Ibad : I fear you are becoming extremist
Abdullah : islam means to submit your will to GOD, if practicing it 100% is extremism then thats what our beloved prophet (PBUH) did.

Ibad : I mean there should be a balance between deen and dunya, you should get education which islam commands to do.
Abdullah :I agree but i have completed 16 years of worldly education but i
don’t even have one year of religious education.

Ibad : Most of the madressa’s and religious schools teach extremism and
develop terrorist
Abdullah :Can you name any 5 madressa or religious schools ?

Ibad : I really don’t know , but why are you asking ?
Abdullah : You don’t even know the names then how can you comment on them so confidently ?

Ibad : Recently i heard news of violence in one madressa, rest are same.
Abdullah : You mean due to the firing incident in virginia tech is it fair
to say that all western universities are the same ?

Ibad : There is no compulsion in religion then why you people preach others
?
Abdullah : This verse of quran in only for non-muslims, its another misconception.

Ibad :Every one is responsible for own deeds ok!
Abdullah :its mentioned 9 times in quran to “enjoin what is good and forbid
what is wrong”

Ibad : Stop doing tableegh to me now
Abdullah : Quran says “The most successful group of people are those who
invite others to right and stop them from wrong”

Ibad : but you cant use force.
Abdullah : A hadith says “If you have authority stop evil with your hand,
if not then use your tongue & if you cant do that then at least consider it
bad in your heart”

Ibad : Please try not to teach me islam, i know very well and can solve my
problems.
Abdullah : Why then do you go to a doctor when your child is seriously ill
and take multiple opinions ? why cant you solve that as well ?

Ibad : We are living in 21st century , you are thinking backwards, my wife
is a working women and has done MBA
Abdullah : Women are used as marketing tools in organizations to trap
customers and increase sales.

Ibad : What non-sense they are equal opportunity employers
Abdullah : But why then all receptionists are females ?

Ibad :Look at USA they have given freedom to women not us
Abdullah : 90% of females in USA have lost virginity before even passing
school, is this freedom or degradation ?

Ibad : Why do we oppress women by keeping them behind bars of hijab ?
Abdullah : Do you mean our beloved prophet (pbuh) wives were oppressed
because they covered as commanded in surah-ahzab ?

Ibad : That was a different time 1400 years back
Abdullah : Quran is for entire humanity and science is proving the verses
today. its the most modern book dear.

Ibad : I am going ,i fear you will blow me up. take care
Abdullah : You are hiding your secularism by mixing me with those who are a
small misguided minority. Allah hafiz brother.

NOTE: The conversation is not a real story but the aforementioned exchanges of arguments are very common indeed

I just got the chance to watch this inspirational speech of Steve Jobs again that he delivered at Stanford Commencement. I suggest everyone watching this speech and specially those who are currently being affected by the joblessness.

It’s been many days to Israeli attacks now. The death count has been increasing every now and then. Unfortunately the attitude of the Muslims Countries including Pakistan, Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia has been very discouraging. 

Americans as usual showed their typical diplomatic attitude and VITO-ing the resolution against Israel not realizing the fact how much destruction this war could cause in Palestine. But, do you even think Israel would have stopped if this resolution could have been approved in the General Council Session? NO. The whole world observed what America did after the resolution of attacking IRAQ was declined by the General Council. We all know what India has been doing in Kashmir, regardless of what UN resolutions state.

Even then, when the same General Council directs Pakistani Govt to cease any Organization in Pakistan, We are always ahead to do that. If Americans ask us to attack this group of People, just because thousands of miles away some of the Americans are in danger, we are always ahead to that.  The current situation of Gaza, Palestine is quite critical. The death toll has increased to 900 =( And what our so called Muslim leaders are doing… trying to get a resolution passed in UNO, calling an urgent session of OIC, REQUESTION the TERRORIST ISRAELI’s to cease fire. Trust me its all very depressing.

I just got a text message last night to vote on a POLL going on a website HERE. You are also requested to spare 2 minutes of yours and vote for the Palestine. I would also like to share the currents stas of the Poll. 

Stats of the Polls

The above snapshot is the current situation of the POLL going on that website. Many people blame BUSH & Co. for being against the Muslims however these stats depict the real hatred of users who have voted from USA/Israel making it quite evident that the real hateness exist in the citizens of USA (so called peace lovers)

Any how, You must have been receiving a lot of emails though but lets just request you again. All these depressing moments are the EYE OPENERS. Let’s just not blame our government and step ahead to destroy USA & ISRAEL by: 

- Not going to any America/Israeli based Franchise Restaurant (KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Burger King etc.)
- Not using America/Israeli products (That includes chocolates, Dairy, Cosmetics, Food & Beverages)
- Stop using America/Israeli goods

We all know that boycott to Danish and Dutch products had really affected their economy. Let’s just take your step ahead and fight on this Platform. Let’s just pray altogether that we all could see the demolishing economy of America and Israel in the next few years.

God Bless all of you.

Furthermore, being a Muslim keep your spirits high. Our faith to Allah is our key to success. Stay United and be Strong enough to betray the evil thoughts of Kuffars.

Because altogether, WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
