For the first time in your life, your article seems to make some sense. Its note worthy that the overall feel of the article was much more mature and focused. The objectivity was quite clear and that seems to be a big improvement in your mental approach.

The typical hyper emotional instability was lacking, which indeed is a big positive. Keep it up!!

P.S Looks like nictonie patches are available in Pakistan now!

"A society whirling helplessly inside a dangerous socio-political flux in which even the most sensible men and women are looking at everyone but themselves to put the blame on for whatever that has gone wrong in the spheres of economics, politics and religion in Pakistan."

Why an ordinary person who has not caused this mess will blame themselves ... do you and I have any control over it?

"...if there are no multinationals sponsoring their shows, there will be no show at all."
WELL SAID

no,no,no! we must have sensible men and women at all cost. let them blame, it is only a vent under cover. they themselves are threatened by others' s blame. we must keep our viewpoint sensible. it prevents mass hysteria.

Kudos to MQM for dumping Amir Liaqat Hussein, other parties need to follow their example.

There isnt much morality to this. MQM knows it simply cant afford to cede ground to the religious right because if they make ANY appeasement noises next thing you know karachi urdu speakers will start voting for IJI again.

Also, Aamir Liaquat is a perfect example of a hypocrite. He uses religion in a glamorous way in order to sugar coat some of the stupidest and extremist views that are aired on his program. He has bashed US several times but refuses to grill those "scholars" who come on his program because obviously they can never be wrong.

Party chief Altaf Hussain and
the MQM Rabita Committee cancelled Liaquat's membership after accusing him of "spreading religious hatred through his TV shows" and going against party policies.

MQM, mqm...where have I heard that name before, weren't these the terrorists, killers, maniacs and s**of****** that ruined my city, not too long ago?
I hate them. Religious Fanaticism, what is that anyway...poof the magic dragon, write on some other topic now. We're bored.
