یہ دوہرا معیار کیوں؟

طالبان بے بامیان کے بے جان مجسموں کو تباہ کیا تو لبرلز چلا اٹھے یہاں تک کہ اقوام متحدہ نے اقتصادی پابندیاں لگا دیں اور جیتے جاگتے لوگ بھوکے مرنے لگے لیکن شاید پتھر کہ بت ان زندہ انسانوں سے عظیم تھے.

دوسری جانب ہم دیکھتے ہیں کہ اقوام متحدہ کے منع کرنے کے باوجود بنگلہ دیش میں عبدالقادر ملا کو پھانسی چڑھا دیا جاتا ہے لیکن دنیا بھر میں سزائے موت کے خلاف شور مچانے والے لبرلز اس کیخلاف بولنے کےبجاۓ کہتے ہیں کہ اچھا ہوا مجرم مجرم ہے. عقل ہے محو تماشہ ء لب بام ابھی. ... اقوام متحدہ ایک جانب پتھر کے بتوں (ثقافتی ورثہ) کو بچانے کیلئے طالبان حکومت پر پابندی لگاتی ہے لیکن ایک انسانی جان کو بچانے کیلئے صرف قرارداد سے کام چلاتی ہے.

قرآنی آیت کا مفہوم ہے کہ ''یہ کافر اس وقت تک تم سے مطمئن نہ ہونگے جب تک تم انکے دین میں شامل نہ ہوجاؤ". یہ دنیا کے روشنخیال اس وقت تک ہم سے نالاں رہیں گے جب تک اسلام ہماری زندگیوں کا حصہ رہیگا لیکن جس دن کوئی اسلامی احکامات کو اتار پھینکے گا تو وہ ان کا منظور نظر بن جائیگا. اب یہ ہم کو فیصلہ کرنا ہے کہ اسلام کا ساتھ دینا ہے اور اللہ کو راضی کرنا ہے یا پھر دنیا کی خوشنودی کی خاطر اللہ کی ناراضگی مول لینی ہے.

School to hold debate on gay rights

Another issue which is hot in the social media is "Beaconhouse School System is holding a debate competition, been organized by Beaconhouse Model United Nations (BMUN) Society, it has been expected that the debates will contain topics on "homosexuality", "gay rights" "lesbian right" etc." 

The news has been released by "The News" which can be seen through this link http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-2-119584-School-to-hold-debate-on-gay-rights. Another website has quoted the same news which can be seen through http://www.thenewstribe.com/2012/07/10/islamabad-school-to-hold-debate-on-gay-and-lesbian-rights/. After the breaking of this news, the one group is debating that this is a fake news and released in order to dirty the face of the party refered to this news is Pakistan Tehrik e Insaf, and the women referred to is Fauzia Kasuri which is form the PTI women's wing.

Soon after the publication of this news, the social media emerged with the name of two Schools Beaconhouse School System and City School, this is another debate which is going on in social media, while Beacon House is the only shcool which is holding debate competition on 16th, this is a three days event which is with the name Beaconhouse Model United Nations (BMUN), don't think this has connections with the UN, UN has done this last year, leave it.

So, after the news published the first one to blame on social media is Fauzia Kasuri, which has been termed as "owner" of the schools, but her supporters written that this is only a blame, she don't own the school chain. But Fauzi Kasuri has tweeted that "BEACONHOUSE IS NOT ORGANIZING ANY DEBATE AS MALICIOUSLY REPORTED IN THE PAPER. WONDER WHO IS PAYING FOR SUCH CRIMINAL NEWS ITEMS?"

Now, the question is if she is not the owner, why she is defending the Beaconhouse then? 

This is so interesting, the news has not even mentioned the name of school, nor the name of the owner, nor the party, but instead this the tweet of Fauzia Kasuri proves "Chor Ki Darhi Main Tinka", giving justification seems like "Daal main Kuch Kaala Hai"

Please, don't think that this has been another attempt to blame Fauzia Kasuri and Beacon house. This article is a study on what I have seen on the social media and what I had observed. Sooner or later the news will be break in real, if the school will organize such debate on such topic. No wonder a big protest will be standing in front of them anyway. 

Story of an Ambassador who had Immunity!

This is a story of a person who was living in Islamabad along with his family; he was the ambassador of a foreign country. It was the morning of January 02, 2002 when he was in his house, performing his morning routines with his family like always. It was 8 o'clock in the morning when his home security guards came and informed that some Pakistani officials came to meet. Hear the story in his own words from now…
I told him to invite them inside and get in the guests room there I met three Pakistani officials. One of them was showing his extreme hatred by his expressions and gestures started the conversation like this, "Excellency, you are no more Excellency". He continued his words, "You know that America is a super power and Pakistan can not compete with it, he needs you for some questioning and we can not deny". I replied that "You are right America is powerful but in order to survive in the world you have to make international relations in balance, you can not hand me over them, may I ask according to which national, international or Islamic law you can justify your steps, the only thing you are authorized to do right now is to tell me to leave the country within a certain time limit".
Without any discussion they ordered me not to leave the house. My house was surrounded by the forces from all sides and my family was also suffering from this. I called the Pakistani office of foreign ministry but they refused to help or talk on this issue. I was told by the security personnel that they are shifting me to Peshawar. I had the ten month Pakistani visa as well as the letter from the foreign affairs that I'm a foreign delegate and should be treated with respect"
At some minutes past 12 noon three army cars surrounded my house, all the ways to go outside or inside were blocked, the media is restricted to come near the house as wells so that they might not film the situation and the whole world specially Muslims see what is happening with me. I was taken from my house in this situation that my kids were crying. The human rights, national and international laws, democratic rules and regulations were being destroyed one by one by the officials. I was unable to do anything; I have no option but to go with them. I was taken in a car with tinted glass and I can not see outside, some other security cars are also around us. Some security officials were also sitting beside me. The prayer time was passing, despite my request they are not allowing me to pray.
We entered Peshawar, I was taken to an office on which Pakistani flag was waving and a picture of Quaid e Azam was hung, I was taken to a room on the side and I was kept there for two nights. Third night when I was about to sleep suddenly the door opened and a personnel came, he asked me "Do you know what's going to happen with you?" I replied, "No", he asked, "You were not told about anything?" I replied in negative. Then they informed that they are going to shift me right now and said that, "Get you free from washroom and other necessary activities". After about ten minutes I was taken outside, some persons in civilian dress were there, they searched me completely and after that snatched a pocket Quran, a small English dictionary, money and my watch. I was kicked and pushed in a car.
After an hour of journey I heard a voice of a helicopter, hearing this I understood that it must be an American helicopter and now I am finally going to be handed over to Americans. Two personnel took me some steps forward and ordered me to make some steps forwards, someone whispered "Khuda Hafiz". I came forward, some people attacked on me at once, they put me on the ground and begin kicking and beating me. Using a sharp tool, they removed my dress, while keep on hitting. My whole body was aching, my dress was removed, I was naked on the ground, at this moment due to their brutal torture the blindfolds from my eyes were removed. I saw Pakistani soldiers were standing all around in an orderly manner while some American soldiers were also there.
The American soldiers enforce me inside the helicopter kicking and torturing me, I was chained and a black bag was wrapped around my face. At some point when the helicopter came down they kicked me down, some soldiers sit on me while I was still in pain, someone told me to walk down with care, my chains were opened, after travelling a distance the blindfolds were removed, I find my self in a one meter wide and 2 meter long cell, with a toilet at the corner. I was thinking why Pakistani officials done this to me? I am the ambassador, how can they do this?
Raymond Davis is white, he is an American. While the main character of this story is an Afghani and Muslim, he had a beard and his name is Mullah Abdus Salam Zaeef the former ambassador of Imrat e Islamia Afghanistan in Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Free-media, fruit of the poisonous tree!

In the present era, the media campaign against Pakistan to show only its negative points is at its peak, the positive face of Pakistan is crushed. But the regretting part is our own media is also following the footsteps of the international media.
A media is the country's face to the outside world; it is able to show bad or good face.
If we watch a Pakistani news channel for a minute you can see 80% news which is negative. Now compare with the international media, we can rarely see negative news about UK, USA or any other European country on BBC, CNN, etc. Are those countries without any negativity? Are they free of corruption and crimes? The answer is a big NO. No country is perfect and no country is free from corruption, crimes, wars, hate and tragedies. The only thing is how their media presents it!
Seems like the whole international media is in search of negative news and reports about Pakistan and as soon as they got news, even small, they project it as the headline. No wonder, media is biased and everyone knows that media is under strict control and monitoring, the slogans of Free Media are indeed fake. Ever wonder why some of the biggest ever conventions are not given that much publicity as some other conventions of the same strength. How a press conference on a non-issue matter covered more than 3 hours and a press conference on a burning issue is covered in a 10 second report at the end of the news.
The mistake is ours, we take media as Idol, and we think that we can not achieve our targets or can not get public if media do not cover us, but the fact is that, the most influential movements of the world gone successful without the media support. If we are heading a campaign or a movement, we should focus our heads towards our target and goal. We might have mistakenly thinking that our goal is to get more media coverage, despite that we should be working for our actual goal and target; the media will come behind us one day. Don't make media our need, we should realize that media need report and issues, if our issue is strong enough, then no need to beg and plead media for coverage, they will come behind us and cover!
Media should act responsibly & maturely, without biasing, show the truth, rather than mold the truth! It is the responsibility of the journalists, photographers and reporters to make the media go their way, rather than follow the rules set by the stakeholders of media. If media did not correct their direction, then the day is not far when people will turn away from fake TV media and turn towards other medias (social, etc) as time passes!
