Myths Surrounding the Lawyer’s Movement Ameer: I wasn't referring to you as elitist. I do sense some condescension or arrogance though, khair who am I to tell you or anyone how to talk to people? I lose it with masadi all the time!

I don't think that just because someone tells another they are a moron, or to fkuc off in an argument, they've been the beneficiaries of poor education or upbringing, if that was the case, more than a few of us would be guilty of that.

Myths Surrounding the Lawyer’s Movement masadi:

no need to thank me. ye mein ne sirf aap ke liye nahin kiya. :)

Myths Surrounding the Lawyer’s Movement ameer mukhtar esq.:

see you fit so perfectly into the arrogant circle of some of those holding different opinions here. your responses to just about everyone indicate that you couldn't care less about differing opinions as you accuse HP of not respecting.

this is only your first article here, and already you've fit into Chowk perfectly by fighting fire with fire, thinking your fire burns differently from the rest.

Masadi's fault does not lie in that he received a poor education. It might lie somewhere in the fact that he is single-minded in purpose and does not suffer fools particularly clueless elitist fools gladly.

And since you must find fault. . . your fault lies in that you think your education is so much better than the rest of ours, yet you've failed to use it in this article. . . .

Myths Surrounding the Lawyer’s Movement ameer mukhtar esq:

I do not always follow Pakistani politics that closely either, but I would not have written a somewhat "authoritative" opinion article about it if that were the case. I don't know what your focus is if any as a political analyst, but this article left me wondering what the point was here.

So you see, your condescending offer to edit Asadi's articles is rather amusing considering the lack of clarity and information you possess here.

I think the only thing I really could have come close to crediting you with here is that if you had written "be that as it may" one more time, you would have earned it as your takiya kalam.

Dancing on Broken Glass and unflinching idealism should be flinching cynicism. :)

Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice ummm, errr, harish, one would think you missed yasser terribly the way tum usske peechay par gaye ho.

or vice versa. :)

har baat maiN gandhi ko laanay ki kya zaroorat hai. . . (although this was majumdar's doing)

Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice majumdar:

that is not what Zee said. that is what the Prophet Mohammad PBUH said.

the rest of your post is not deserving of a response.

Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice majumdar:

since there seems to be somewhat of a sarcastic (or idiotic) tone in your the lawyers must be really dumb to risk being laThi charged, i don't know that i should continue this argument with you.

Students speaking out in their schools for one thing. Any discussion of politics was banned in my school, because of how passionately we felt about what was going on, from both sides. And we were fifteen and sixteen year old teenagers, for crying out loud. Protest does not have to be marching on Mall Road or anything like that. And as Yasser says, countless people felt that what happened to Bhutto was unjust and we mourned.

Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice majumdar:

you conveniently forget that martial law had been declared in Pakistan, that the surma-eyed Zia-ul-Haq had taken over, and anything resembling mass protests on a wide scale would have been met with laThi charges amongst other things.

That is not to say that there was NO protest at all, it is to say that there are various forms of protest, and that Bhutto's sentencing and hanging did not go without them.

You weren't there. You don't know.

Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice I, for one, can't take majumdar seriously. Especially when he makes remarks like it was just that no one lifted a finger to save Bhutto's life. *rolling eyes ikaan*
