The Non-Existent Tourist’s Guide To Pakistan

Paracha writes "How to get out:

You don’t!"

Of course you can, tahmed did didn't he? and so do those "Al-Qaeda" and "Talibans" as they sneak across the border to attack NATO forces and then sneak back in to their safe-haven where they plan their next big attack on America, when the mule train brings in the much needed wood supply for them to fire up their ovens, they discuss their plans of dispatching their fighters all across the globe, regardless of visa considerations or border security (they are beyond these petty things) and all the way to the USA, and you say there is no getting out, and the hand delivered downloads from the Rs 50 an hour internet cafe's of Peshawar using which they plan exactly which buildings to hit? No? Yeah the PCOs and photo copy shops they use some might even have fax machines, and calling the US is Rs 2 a minute, cheaper than calling another city in Pakistan, to appease all those who want to set call centers in Pakistan for free with tax breaks and what not.

The "smartest" people in the USA, the ones with the most power and wealth, say so, so it must be true according to Hamidm, it is a "natural privilage" of being white...

A good read but Ibn e Insha definitely could have written it much better.

g'night.... Hamid: I will check under my bed for the US elite and other assorted bugs and cockroaches

You sick moron satya quit following me around like a chaprasee. If you have to answer my post, seperate my words from your sh** so that the people are not confused regarding who wrote what and plagiarizers like you don't get away with having themselves be considered smarter than their " 4 paisa" pay scale...

Moron, the take note, if you can read that is, was for Chowk Staff not for you, unless you happen to be one of those miserable staff members.

Your so-called proof of identity loss (highlighted) using "Muslim names" is quite pathetic, nowhere is there a recommendation for the new convert to change his name, social precident where a minority within a larger group wants to seperate itself for the purpose of identity results in such name changes, further you haven't even studied regional variation among Muslim names or taken a sample of any group where ethnic/regional influences have vanished from names just because of conversion to Islam

Massaddi Mian:

Islam and its believers did overtake. Conqueroring of Iran and Sapin are examples. India was a different game. Richer and vast with religion that was not institutionalized around single book, single messenger and single God. In Spain christians revived, Iran Zorashtrains could not. They were isolated and persecuted.

Please get your lessons on history from some impartial sources.

NFP,

Just two words on this writing: SIMPLY BRILLIANT!

Glad to note that you were at KGS too..

i wonder why the well paid blaggers arn't blagging here it's quite funny.

Wonderful article Nadeem. In addition to being funny, this article shows a great amount of introspection and self-criticism. Something sorely lacking in south asia. People seem to prefer to blame the CIA, RAW, ISI, and god knows who else for their problems. Suicide bombings in Pakistan? It must be those dastardly Indians allying themselves with the jihadis to screw us over. Anything to avoid "humiliation".

"I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses."-- Johannes Kepler

Paracha Sahib. Very pungently funny. It will be nice to see more of stuff like this on Chowk than the boring social and political commentary that takes up 80% of space.

[[This is because the common people choose to remain illiterate and prefer to watch a Sharhrukh Khan flick instead of reading their official history books that clearly state that had Mughal Emperor Auranzeb Alamgir created Pakistan in 1747]]

Overall a well-written article; I especially liked the selection above and the bit about descent from Aryans and Mr Qasim!!.........one HAS to get past this denial....

....unfortunately any such efforts of 'humorising' what is indeed a dire situation is taken to mean "traitor-ship" by some, who have their heads firmly embedded under tonnes of sand
