How r u?
Still alive.
God forbid, what r u talking?
It's the reality.
I have just enquired about your well being my friend.
U sound upset?
Ya,
Why?
Like any one in Karachi, but u won't understand!
Why?
Because u live in Islamabad.
Is living in Islamabad my unforgiveable sin?
No my dear, it's a privilege every Pakistani cannot enjoy, simply can't afford.
What difference it makes?
My dear, it's said that Islamabad is at 10- minutes drive from Pakistan.
Meaning?
People say that Islamabad remains aloof to the problems faced by a common Pakistani.
Oh! Come on!
U should not repeat such misconceptions created by people not wishing well for the country.
My dear, u don't know what a person would feel when going for prayers-thinking that it may be his last prayers.
What r u saying?
Don't u read newspapers?
Don't u know that more than 50 innocent people have died during the last month?
It's tragic.
Can u imagine, Muslim killing Muslim in an Islamic democratic state?
These days in an Islamic country the most susceptible place for terrorism is a mosque.
Have read that US and UN deplore Karachi violence.
True!
So the terrorism is getting worldwide publicity.
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Tuesday said he was very disturbed by the violence in Pakistan, including the bombing of a Shia mosque in Karachi that left 20 people dead.
I felt ashamed explaining to my non-Muslim friends, what the dispute?
"The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest terms terrorist acts that target innocent civilians and places of worship, as well as attempts to sow sectarian discord and strife," Annan's spokesman said in a statement.
Do u know what has been said by US spokesman?
No. What is that?
The violence hurt Pakistan's efforts to strengthen democracy.
Oh! That's bad, am afraid that the ministers of Commonwealth may be listening to these statements and watching.
Meaning?
My dear we have been very recently re-admitted and this admission is to be reviewed in September.
Am thinking of something else!
What's that?
This all is happening in a country which is promoting the "enlightened moderation" concept.
True!
God may help us.
Do u know they have the mob set ablaze the Quaid Academy amid these riots.
Really?
Ya,
They have also set ablaze Hamdard Hospital on M.A. Jinnah road.
We can only wish that these sectarin differences do vanish and the both can unite for the cause of Islam-a common religion.
Why not? It will Insha-Allah.
But the role of Interior Ministry during the last few months is deplorable.
Oh! Come on. The Interior Ministry is busy in escorting the minister to unification functions.
