I too am plagued and affected by the issues brought about by actual Islamophobia. I have a Muslim name and brown skin, my peaceful relatives have been pushed in the subway and called ‘terrorist’ for no reason.

Which is precisely why we don’t need a debate on the issue of Islam, on the premises people such as Mr Maher, wants to hold the debate.

Also, the title of this thread is misleading, this woman does not represent the general Pakistani woman, just as I don’t represent the thoughts of the general Pakistani man. Even if I can support her thoughts somewhat (only in this article though), I don’t think people like us should be writing these type of “open letters”.

Sure, put your views forth, but don’t pretend that your views or your thought process is that of a regular Pakistani. Lets at least have some decency, shall we.
