Holy smokes! Just went to see the photo again and not only is it gone but some hot guy is standing in all the replacement photos. Who is this guy and is he single and taller than I am? Tell him my divorce should be final in about 2 more months and he's made the coveted T-dog list. Ha, ha!

Well, not that i want to start something here, but corruption is also a problem. Men are sexually-depraved and need better education over there so that women do not have to dress in hijab for respect of any sort. Women are not keeping themselves for marriage - so I've heard from MANY sources on this site - in Pakistan. And finally, that whole in-breeding thing really ought to stop (but that's just my personal opinion now). Ha, ha!

to quote Labs earlier "Both women, like many hundred others, are victims of a feudal system underpinned by a military oligarchy that recognizes no human dignity, especially of those that are weak or poor.................. " this is the real problem of Pakistan...

another typice ploy is to blame everything on the maulvis... such incidents clearly reflects a problem in all sectors of Pakistan...

Okay, just read the next comment. Guess maybe a gori could have influence over Pakistani government. ha, ha, ha! I'd like to talk to Musharraf now.

Arrack, I'm not Pakistani, so I can't sign the list. It wouldn't mean much to the Pakistani government if some dumb gori in the U.S. signed it. Of course they'd expect a non-Muslim, white girl to be up in arms, likely thinking I'm just yet another anti-Muslim, anti-perma-tanned hotties chick from the West.

hmm.. yet another example of non Muslims being able to sort out our rubbish more effectively than we can.. or having the jurisdiction to question this stuff which no pakistani has.. oh and i found another case where the pak govt. denied travel/ treatment to a victim of violence (all in the name of saving the country's 'reputation' ... ".. Tortured at 22.......Karachi, (WFS)- Fakhra Younis is 22 years old. A few months ago,
her powerful husband Bilal Khar, a former member of a provincial assembly and son of the ex-governor of Punjab, threw acid on Fakhra and disfigured her for life....While this is enough to make anybody angry, Fakhra's ordeal did not end with this physical and emotional trauma - she has also been denied justice. For starters, the government refused to give her relevant documents for travelling abroad for treatment on the ground that if her ordeal was leaked to the international media, it would reflect poorly on the country.... The interior ministry refused to give her passport on the ground that they did not believe that Fakhra had provided her father's right name. The government also advised ...to get Fakhra treated in Pakistan. ...
It.. took more than a month of public outrage expressed by human rights activists through newspapers that Fakhra's travel documents were finally given to her.... but doctors fear that because of the delay in her treatment, it will be difficult to provide her medical help. Fakhra can barely breathe and has lost sight in her left eye, which specialists say will be difficult to restore."

An interesting twist to this saga...Christina Roco, the Asst. Sec of State (USA) for South Asia expressed "displeasure" at Mukhtaran Mia's name being on the exit control list....and then the govt of pakistan announced that it was REMOVING her name from the list and that she is FREE to go. I guess the exit control list of Pakistan needs US approval and they would have disallowed to approve it with Mukhtaran Mai's name! Its very sad on both ends...the fact that someone in the US had to criticize this behaviour of the pakistani government for them to act...and secondly US seems to be more concerned about human rights in Pakistan than its own! :)

I'll cheer you guys on, at least I can do that much.
 
Login to find out (June 15, 2005 at 9:31pm)
Wow, that's so great. I wish I had married a Pakistani so that I'd have a name to add to the list. Lol...

Slimshorty: I think its very much possible. But i would also copy the Pakistani embassy and the pakistani government so that they know that things like this are not acceptable and even overseas pakistanis dont support their governments back home on this.

Arrack, is it possible to email CNN, and ask for their help. Maybe once it get on the US media, it will help her. Do you think that is a possibility? If each of us and we get more people to contact one news group and let it begin from there.

Arrack, what does it matter what background she came from? The fact remains now that she has an invitation. Why is she being further punished for something she never had anything to do with in the first place?!?

I want to move to Pakistan. Does this count? ha, ha! I figure once I get there and get an "in" with the people, then I can start my movement. Let the reformation of Pakistan begin!
