No, nobody’s guilty. The bombs planted themselves, and the guns fired themselves. This story blames lack of training and a “dysfunctional” legal system, but those two factors are not nearly the whole story. At best, there is an attitude of complacency and lack of political will to overcome the “dysfunction”: for many within the Pakistani […]

Pakistan refuses Indian offer of flood aid
The jihad against India is more important than aid to Pakistani flood victims. “Accept Indian aid, no role for politics in disaster: US to Pak,” from the Press Trust of India, August 19 (thanks to Sanjay): Washington: Asserting that there is no role for politics in disaster response, the Obama Administration has said it expects […]
Generous donations stream from wealthy Islamic nations to their desperate brethren in Pakistan — no, wait…
While Gaza is lavished with attention, money, and weapons for a vastly exaggerated “crisis” that is of Hamas’ engineering and staging (those poor people have to smuggle in luxury cars!), tens of millions of Muslims are suffering in Pakistan after the floods — hungry, wet, and under the threat of outbreaks of cholera and dysentery. […]

Pakistan flooding: Aid officials note “the absence of substantial commitments from the Gulf states”

There was the tsunami, and the needs of the World Food Program. […]
Muslim couple from UK gunned down in Pakistan in honor killing
A different twist in this one: the prospective in-laws and their son were murdered. “British couple gunned down in Pakistan in suspected honour killing after calling off marriage,” from the Daily Mail, August 9 (thanks to all who sent this in): A British couple who flew to Pakistan to settle a row over their daughter’s […]
Pakistani president Zardari heckled by Muslims, including a shoe-thrower, on U.K. visit
The irony of this, of course, is that back in April, British police submitted to the idea of shoe-throwing as a ritual form of protest among Muslims, rather than an act of assault. Surely, Zardari deeply appreciated the culturally sensitive accommodation of this practice. “Pakistan president heckled at UK political rally,” by Paisley Dodds for […]

Pakistan and Legalized Religious Persecution by Ali Sina Imagine one evening you hear a knock on the door. When you open it, a group of armed men with police uniforms enter your house, beat you and handcuff you. Your wife and children are terrorized, but they are told to shut up or they too will […]
