Re: Arabification of Pakistan and Pakistani culture:
…and? I mean really? This is what we’re left to complain about? Bumper stickers and number plates?
Let me tell you what I found odd about my visit to Pakistan. Mugging wallets and phones. Not the fact that the guy at the mobile store was trying to be professional and mimicking Western notions quality of service. Not the fact that the local mullah had an impeccable Arabic accent…or that some expat workers from Dubai picked up some broken arabic along the way and had some fun with it.
I went to Karachi recently, and there was much to be sad about. Not so much with the people, but the circumstances they find themselves in, how it affects the way they behave, and what they tolerate as a result. All this shrill talk of *ization of any kind is totally off the wall and makes a mockery of any real problems the common person is facing there.
“Al Bakistan”…LOL…of all the things…
look at the thread we are in, look at the context. We aren’t talking about **law and order **in pakistan. We are talking about arab culture in pakistan .
