Re: No hope for Pakistan; get out when you can: Cowasjee
Absolutely right!! My family hates this parsi fello. I can tell you from a lot of his articles that he is not that patriotic- he wasn't ever a patriotic person. If he wants to leave the country and go to Bombay- a city parsis love to visit anytime, he should please take Irfan Hussain and Ayaz Amir with him- Pakistan doesn't need journalists who always love to criticize and our precious Islamic institutions.
It's a shame that when someone speaks the reality, they get lambasted as above.
Re: No hope for Pakistan; get out when you can: Cowasjee
Instead of turning our backs to the situation and looking for ways out for outselves, each Pakistani has the responsibility to act his part to clean out this menace. Pakistan is my country and I don't even dream of making any other country my home, whatever the circumstances are.

I have nothing but respect for Cowasjee, he is a brilliant writer and social commentator. I feel he is saying that unless the radicalist menace is met head on and defeated, it will end Pakistan as we know it.
I have alluded to this in the past myself. It is very possible that a conflict leaves only Punjab and Sindh as "Pakistan", which the other 2 provinces going off and doing there own thing.
Begs the question, is that necessarily a bad thing?
