Effigy burning is Okay and accepted form of protest on the subcontinent. However, when one member of Cabinet burns the effigy of an individual, whilst another meets the same individual in US, it sends wrong kind of message. IMO.
It is so sad that 19 precious lives were lost and no one can be held responsible. i hope we have seen worst of it and things get better from here. Though i am neither a muslim nor a pakistani but i feel the pain. Act of natural disaster is understandable but this thing was totally avoidable. Didnt we see enough deaths last week.
PS. just saw on geo that** aashiq e rasools also looted ATMS**, i dont know how does it show your love.
I think those were robbers and thugs who used that opportunity to earn some easy money.......

Exactly ! the same element were doing the same activity when Baynazir was assassinated!
But i must say Pakistan Media always create the hype. They always show the -ve things but ignore the +ve side. Its very sad to loss of lives but there were some peaceful protests too which media completely ignored. I am sure if Govt never announce holiday then these media champion shouts on Govt that why they are not taking any step!
Telling you honestly Pakistani living in UK and USA thinks that as they were stepped out from air port, they were hot by some gun or someone take their money. This is only bcoz of Sick Media. Else still in Karachi ppl going outside for dinner and doing other activities but if u see from the eye of media then you will think that its a great risk to go outside in Karachi.
**KARACHI: Courts in Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore granted remand of at least 185 people on Saturday in cases pertaining to riots and arson attacks that took place during the protests against the anti-Islam film made in the United States.

Twenty-three people lost their lives in Karachi and Peshawar while over 200 were injured on Friday across the country as the government-designated “day of love for Holy Prophet (peace be upon him)” saw protests and demonstrations turn anarchic.
Courts in Rawalpindi sent 77 suspects to Adiala jail on a 14-day judicial remand while in Karachi, at least 72 suspects were remanded in police custody by an anti-terrorism court and a judicial magistrate on charges of torching cinemas, banks, police vans, attacking policemen and destroying public as well as private properties.
Five cinema houses, three police vans, three banks and countless shops were set on fire and looted during the mayhem that overtook Karachi two days ago.
In Lahore, an anti-terror court sent 36 arrested protesters to jail on judicial remand. They faced charges of terrorism, ransacking/torching public and private property, attempted murder and attack on police. Police had registered a case against 6,036 protesters.
Police in Faisalabad district registered two cases against more than 400 people, 200 of them belonging to the outlawed Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan, on charges of firing live rounds into the air and pelting police with stones.
About 60 people were injured in the violence, with one of them stated to fighting for his life in a hospital.
AFP adds: Meanwhile, fresh demonstrations were held by thousands of activists across Pakistan on Saturday against the film.
Protesters took to the streets in various cities, but there was no repeat of Friday’s widespread violence.

Capt. Joseph Kreidel opened a thread and did not bother to do any follow-up. Is it the best way to initiate and carry on with a debate?
There are some etiquettes for discussion. If you do not have enough time to write a line of your own or follow through a debate, then you better remain a silent spectator instead of bothering to copy-pasting links or opening new threads. Just a friendly advice.
