Jingoism

The below request was sent by Mr. Shahid Zubair of Lahore-Pakistan, the father of 3 kids. Afterward Maria Memon (GEO TV) went to meet the family and prepared a report, which is attached in the form of a video for your kind perusal and consideration.

They are as beautiful and beloved as our children at home. These two affected children are the assets of this Nation, that is known to be ‘Zinda Dil Qaum’. I would humbly request you to help them and spread the word by any means. Please Spread it through social media, through posting it on the notice boards (of your organization/university), by emailing within your organization and your friends. Please spread it the way you would want to do it for your own brother & sister.

May God Bless You and Your Families.

To Honorable Sir,

This is my last attempt to gain HELP to save lives of my 3 kids, as all my requests to Govt Officials and Donors were not responded as I expected.

I have three kids, 12 old years Nida (Daughter), 10 years old Ahmad (son) and 5 years old Eman (daughter), all suffering from some auto immune disorder disease or some type of muscular dystrophy, due to which 2 of them (elder ones) are unable to walk now whereas Eman my 3rd kid is threatened by this disease and will loose her ability to walk.

In Pakistan no proper diagnosis, cure and treatment is available. We requested various authorities for financial assistance but no response is received as yet. We are not receiving any medical assistance and facility from any of the Medical Institutions in Pakistan being as a special case.

As Pakistani doctors have opinions that no treatment is available in Pakistan but it can be cured only abroad…. but my resources are very limited. I am a white collar person. I cannot afford the treatment and various diagnostic costs available outside Pakistan. I do not beg people but on the other side as being a father not having the required resources, would need your generous donations and contribution, as my entire family has a great hope that my kids will start walking again on their own feet.

Sir, you are a kind person, your attention can change our life.Kindly help us, with the blessings of Allah. We are sure that our kids will become normal and they will defeat the disease.

We have received an invitation from Dallas Hospital USA with a ray of hope for their treatment, and 25th August 2010 is the date the of appointment. The cost of treatment per child will be Rs.2,500,000/- (which is approx. US$ 30,000/- for each kid, travel included).

Please HELP us and kindly give attention to our APPEAL as we are in dire need of your generous contribution. Unfortunately, our Government is not helping me out at all.

My kids asked me, “Baba, shall we recover?”. I have to ensure them YES.

Our wishes and dreams to survive, will only come true by your personnel attention. We need approximately Rs 7.5 million on an urgent basis from any donor, which is not big for you and not for our Allah to arrange for us. Being a Pakistani citizen, my last hope is lying with you. I know you have lot of other work to do but kindly pay attention to our request.

With very best regards

Shahid Zubair

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!

Truth, Human Rights, Respect etc

are something known to any literate person on the earth. We as a human know how to speak truth, how to give appropriate rights, and how to give respect. Although many of these kind of attributes have been strongly recommended in most of the religion including Islam. However such basic attributes of a Human are not linked with any Religion, Location or culture.

We as a Human must ask these questions to our self. Being a Muslim is something far away. Are we even a Human Being who can answer these questions to our self.

And if we know the answers, why have we kept our ethical values aside?
Why don’t we
show patience while driving ?
stop throwing trash on the roads ?
stop bribing ? and

Why don’t we realize that eventually we have to see our Lord, Allah who is the greatest of all! And that moment will not let us re-think about all we had done.

Many of us have already shared their thoughts of the recent victory of Pakistan. It was a memorable win by Pakistani Cricket Team against Srilanka which is yet another Asian Team, making it very clear around the globe that Asians are too good at this kind of cricket. (including the last world cup b/w Pakistan n India)

Afridi, Gul, Kamran, Abdul Razzaq, Saeed Ajmal are all the names that really come with the best of their performances and eventually bringing the World Cup to their homes. It was totaly different experience watching this Final Match at a BIG SCREEN at Carlton Hotel, courtesy of my friend at Geo TV.  Wide Screen, Sound System, Crowd and the Evironment, all perfect for watching this Final Match. People after the match were too damn too excited and happy about the victory. It was good to see Karachites out of their homes, roaming around the city with literally no threat in their minds.

Celebrations like these show as how united and peaceful we are Alhumdulillah. Its just that a few blacksheeps have been creating descriminating thoughts among this truly alive Nation.

May Allah give them peace in their minds and make them think wisely. If not, Allah please make us get rid of these culprits. May Allah, bring peace and prosperity in Pakistan and we stay united as ONE SINGLE NATION.

I don’t really get time to write much now and try reading blogs I know. Just like that i was going through different blogs and found  this_1 and this_2 n this_3 (this post contains more pictures to watch and enjoy the victory)  interesting and worth sharing. Hope you like them!

Yup, and this time its our Elite SSG Commandos in action. Its honour to be the part of such forces who are living their lives to protect the borders of Pakistan. I don’t think they need much of the explanations. We all know Pakistan Army is the best and capable enough to beating any other Army of the world.

All those who think, Pakistan is a fail state. Don’t mess with `em. =D =P

Hail Pakistan Army!!

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 wonder why people discourage each other for living in this part of the world and claim it to be the most unsuccessful state on the earth.

I read an article by Auria Maqbool (a regular columnist of Express Newspaper) on 23rd Feb. You can also view it by clicking the link: Article

I hope after reading it you would also realize what exactly we should call an unsuccessful state. This is an eye-opener for those who still think my home-land has many problems and that are never-ending. Trust me the situation would have been so different for those who left this country and transferred their trillions to the other countries, only and only if the same investment had been done in the land of their own.

May Allah protect us from every single rupee of Interest based earnings. Although their isn’t any thing to laugh over it. But its quite amusing to know that the paki ppl are actually returning to Their-Peace-of-Land when they finally realized that they have already lost everything. That is indeed a matter of realization that they have found the difference in between their homes and a business world like Dubai. So Happy Home-Coming. God Bless all of us!

& .. for sure..
Hail the Land of Peace

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.

Just got a chance to watch a poem by an innocent Palestini Girl. Do Watch it By Clicking Here
or you can play it directly.

I was just going through a blog post in which several pictures of Eid-ul-Adha & HAJJ for the years 2008 were posted. It is indeed a refreshing moment to watch all these pictures. Refresh your self by viewing all these pictures and strengthen your beliefs over Allah, who is the greatest of all. 

View these pictures HERE

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.
