On March 16, 2001 several youths allegedly attacked two Muslims who were standing outside their mosque in Sparks. One Muslim had his arm broken. The other was more seriously injured and was in a critical condition in hospital after undergoing three operations. This and others are only a few documented incidents [...]
[Introduction: It cannot be denied that the heartrending events of September 11, 2001, changed all our lives. I saw the sad events on CNN and was really shocked. Could anything in the world really force anyone to perpetrate such brutal crimes? But again being a journalist/writer in his early career I was acquainted with the [...]
I do not have enough patience left to watch a three-hour Indian movie. Once in a while when there comes a nice movie, my wife invites me to watch a few interesting scenes. ‘Taare Zameen Par’ is a movie whose few scenes convinced me that it must be a great movie and I am sure [...]
Pakistan People’s Party’s Secretary Information Sherry Rehman, who is also being tipped as the country’s next information minister, has quite reassuringly told the media that her party’s government will reverse the dark censorship laws empowering the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to shut television channels.

I have long started believing that our foreign Muslim friends are nothing but a liability for us. Not only [...]
Hi friends, at 5 PM Pakistan Standard Time my website was hacked. After considerable effort I have managed to restore it. But what had happened to YouTube happened to my site as well. Someone managed to steal the code and install a forwarding to some anonymous site. I believe given the standards [...]
Over the months and years I have vociferously advocated that Pakistan should build an unshakable alliance with the Indians. It is my firm belief that if these two regional powers bury the hatchet, their governments would be able to do great justice to the poverty alleviation projects. But somehow I have also been reminded repeatedly [...]
Despite having lost miserably in the elections, the folks in the PML-Q and the Presidency are jubilant. They are hoping that in few days the issue of the selection of the next premier will effectually unravel the People’s Party and the anti-government coalition. Come come now don’t be so hard on these fellows. It is [...]
