Was I denied a USA visa? Typical clichéd quack you often hear from Pakistani Americans whenever they see their Holy Cow of a country being criticised. Every Pakistani who says anything against their country must’ve been denied a visa in Islamabad, right? Otherwise why on earth would anyone dare say anything against the heaven that’s America, han? Just to you don’t shoot that childish retort again, I actually don’t require a visa to enter America, for anyone of my stays.

My problem is that there are plenty of Pakistanis and Muslims who are equally sick and tired of seeing people using every tragic incident to say so much generalised crap about their country. Pakistanis/ Muslims are also tired of being constantly criticised for actions they share no responsibility for, and how their own personal tragedies are used against them. Do you agree with that? If American Pakistanis can have their tails on fire everyone time someone says against their America, there are Pakistanis/Muslims who get equally sickened by how they are constantly demonised and dehumanised those living in American. I’m not interested in any of your God bless American sophistry, American probably is a wonderful place for Muslims, just like plenty French Muslims are also glad they live in France. You are not the only human being who appreciate their country, sweeetheart.

Unfortunately, unlike many people here, no country or Island came in my parents’ jahez. Nor I go around wearing ‘hey look at me I am a third/fourth generation Walaytee badge’ on my chest. So don’t try this Europe is more Islamophobic than America, and put whether you like or not quip. You think I’m here to pull a you and go on a defensive about Europe and paint is a some fairytale world. And no, I was not denied visa for Europe either. Go ahead and write essays on how Islamophobic Europe is, and I’d probably end like your posts and provide you with more information. Who says it is only the Muslims who are racists and bigots?

I hope some of my oh so problematic posts criticism of America the global Holy Cow makes people like you realise that it is actually quite pathetic to put entire nation, race and religion on trial and give guilty verdict on the basis of actions of few.

Your posts always sound so immature. It’s as if you’re trying so hard to portray this image of a person with connections. And you can say what you want about you not needing any visas in the west but hey there’s no way of confirming that now is there?

Muslim Americans are the first to call out any bigotry or racism that occurs here. I would know coz I live here and know many people involved in such causes. I couldn’t care less about you pointing to all the things the US is guilty of. Like I said no country is perfect but some are far better than others. I’m the first to acknowledge the flaws in this country coz again I live here. You on the other hand go on and on about how horrible this country is when you’ve never even lived here! ‘Oh my cousin said all of us claim to be Indians in high school’ is not a valid argument. Please! We would never let go of our identity and are very proud of who we are. We just say it like it is. If we have been wronged here in the US, we’ll say it. If we see injustice elsewhere, we’ll say it and guess what? We actually do get heard.

I don’t know if you lack reading comprehension but no where did I claim that America is my holy land and is free of flaws. Stop putting words in my mouth. It has a lot of flaws but there are a lot of good things too. But you people just come and literally get all giddy when you see something tragic happen in the US. It’s like you sit behind your screen, twiddling your thumbs and pounce on any piece of tragic news coming from the US. What happened was horrific. And we all acknowledge the growing tide of anti- Muslim rhetoric around the country thanks to Bill Maher, Ann Coulter and the likes. But you just go on and on about how horrible this country is without acknowledging the good it has to offer. Without acknowledging how it has contributed to society.

Just coz we call you out on constantly portraying the US in a negative light, you assume we are crying and getting defensive about our ‘holy’ country. Far from it. Yes this is our home and no on knows better than us that it has its share of problems.

And I don’t even follow news from Pakistan. I’ve never made blanket statements about all Muslims and Pakistanis and why would I? That’s my identity first and foremost. It’s the Pakistani masses who are suffering at the hands of corrupt and inept leadership. It’s the Muslim masses who are suffering at the hands of inept Muslim leadership in so many countries around the world. Just coz we call our on the pathetic spineless leaders doesn’t mean we are attacking all Muslims and Pakistanis.

Anyways I’m out. I’ve got better things to do like frolicking in the heavenly fields of this beautiful country than ruin my Friday over this nonsense.
