Aamir liaqat has been turned into a villain overnight. Pakistanis do not believe in half measures. First you declare him a saint and now he is the biggest devil out there. He was never an aalim in the first place but the people adored him. We need to look at our own actions and decide if we were wrong in the first place. May Allah help us in making sensible choices.

Pakistan celebrating its day of independence today. Zardari is in charge, sharif controls Punjab and Pakistan is suffering badly. I do not think that anybody cares. People who have left Pakistan will not  come back to a totally mismanaged country where there is no hope for the future. Pakistan needs change and need it now. Few more years like this and there will be nothing to save.

By Sikander Hayat A very hectic day at work with lots going on and the urge to prove myself to the authorities in charge kept me going through it. With Ramadan , it is very hard to keep oneself motivated and productive but may be that is what it is all about. Today, I left office at about 7:30 in the evening and reached home at about 8:50pm, just in time for the iftar. While I was driving to work in the morning, I heard on the radio that 3 men of Pakistani origin have been killed in the mayhem which has engulfed all of England. These guys were trying to save their petrol station from being looted when this incident happened. British Pakistanis are very sad and this is one more blow for them as many of them have lost their businesses and livelihoods in this anarchy which has taken hold of England . Many Pakistanis and people of other ethnicities have lost their life's work. A shop keeper whose shop has been looted and burnt to ground has nothing else to survive on. Tragic, ver...

By Sikander Hayat It is amazing to see the mighty like USA getting downgraded by the standard and poors rating agency. Amazing in the sense that this is something which seems so impossible and outlandish. I was at work yesterday when I first checked on my mobile that markets all around the world are having a fit. From Asia to Europe , everyone rushed to sell, resulting in major losses for all major stock markets .

Absolutely bad day at work today . It seems as if I am spending too much time on the road. 2 hors travelling just one way is killing me. Ther e is blood on the streets of tottenham. Riots on the streets of London reminding me of n ireland.

By Sikander Hayat I do not think so. Terror has no religion and this one was no different. If a Muslim commits an act of terror , that is immediately called Islamic terrorism but that should not be the case. These men,no matter which faith they claim to belong, are terrorists and nothing but terrorists. There acts should not be claimed as Muslim or Christian terrorism . Brevik called himself a Christian crusader fighting to save the Christendom from the Muslim. Does that self appointment by him as a saviour of Christians all over the world make other Christians culpable in his acts of terrorism? There is no way that God fearing Christians can be blamed for the lunacy of this man no matter what he claims to fight for. Timothy Mcvay showed in Oklahoma , Brevick in Norway and countless acts of terror in Ireland show that terrorism is a tool that people use to achieve different goals. Tamils of Sri Lanka ( who belong to Hindu religion) introduced the modern world to s...

By Sikander Hayat This was going to happen sooner or later. With no clear direction, with all the people kept in dark, Pakistan was bound to face this indignation . Well done PPP , well done Army and well done to the impotent/corrupt/incapable politicians. You have succeeded in doing what nobody else could. You have turned Pakistan into a Greek tragedy .
