Pakistanis! Anything but united

Society Pakistan & World Affairs

One of the major reasons such terrorists can come and go or rather living amongst us is that we are not united as “Pakistanis”. Our leadership including media-men, the professors, the bureaucrats, the generals, and the politicians everyone is tooting their own horn.

Mix this with our 60+ years of Muslim-first and Pakistani-second has messed up our youth. And now there is no love for Pakistan and there is no unity under our flag.

That’s where Islamists and terrorists are taking full advantage and destroying our very core of the society.

will we ever learn?

ANYTHING BUT UNITED

Salman Taseer, the Governor of Punjab Province, initially said the same people who carried out the attack on Mumbai were responsible for the latest in Lahore, but was more circumspect addressing a news conference late on Tuesday.
“We are not blaming anybody or holding anybody responsible like India did,” Taseer said.
“In the next 48 hours things will be clear. We will be able to say who was behind this,” he added.
A former Pakistani spy chief with Islamist sympathies speculated that the attack could have been carried out by Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger rebels backed by Indian intelligence as a payback for what happened in Mumbai.
“It’s all too obvious that it is the handiwork of the Indian intelligence,” retired general Hamid Gul said.
Punjab Governor Taseer called for people to unite, but the country is anything but united.
Elections to parliament’s upper house, the Senate, will be held on Wednesday under the shadow of a crisis that gripped Pakistan for the past week and sent share prices tumbling.
Zardari dismissed the provincial government in Punjab led by his arch rival, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, after the Supreme Court decided Sharif and his younger brother Shahbaz Sharif were disqualified from holding elective office.
The Sharifs say Zardari was behind the court decision and their party Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), or PML-N, has begun street agitation in cities across Punjab.
The PML-N plans to add its weight to a mass protest on March 12 by a lawyers’ movement fighting for an independent judiciary.

Re: Pakistanis! Anything but united

I don't think we can unite as a nation anytime soon regardless of what tragedy we face. We fail to admit that we have criminals/terrorists within, we are in denial that we can do wrong. We have long way to go.

Re: Pakistanis! Anything but united

We might thinking of uniting if Salman Taseer, an incompetent, drunkard fool hated by the masses takes responsibility for this lapse and resigns.

We will continue to be a laughing stock until we get our priorities right

Country FIRST
Islam SECOND
- and even in religion, humanity (respect for all human-beings, decency, politeness, honesty, hard work, education, humility and truthfulness etc. surely are more commendable attributes than praying or fasting. Ofcourse that does not mean that you neglect your religious obligations) or haqooq ul ibad first
- duties to Allah second.

Islam lays greater emphasis on haqooq ul ibad....par ab in Mullahon ko koun samjhai
