The News Shamefully Advocates Elopement & Sex as “Few Moments of Divinity”!!!

FAULTLINES EXPOSED!!!

 

The shaded passages are the reflections of Seema Abbasi and Shehzad Amjad on the love affair of Riffat Afridi and Ahsan. The young woman was a teenager (probably 16-year old). He eloped with her, contrived a marriage document and later received a bullet from one of the girl’s “wronged” relatives.

 

And what is the News’ reflection:

 

·         Sex relations (joys of passion) are all right!

 

·         A 33-year old man can elope with a 16-year old girl, never mind the age difference between the two.

 

·         Sex relations are a “few moments of divinity” (Divinity means quality of being: the divinity of Christ; of god or goddess)

 

Would you call it irony or the theater of absurdity that after violating all the moral norms, the writers of the piece feel “morally obliged” to support such cases of irresponsible sex which throws families into violent spasm and shame and destroy the lives of innocent youth!!!

 

Or is it that Seema Abbasi and Shehzad Amjad are making up for their own personal failings of youth by using Ahsan and Riffat as guinea pigs? – the editorial staff of the esteemed News would know better!!!

Shehzad Amjad Calls Pakistan’s Destiny As Neurotic!!!

FAULTLINES EXPOSED!!!

 

·         He is worried about South Asia (translation: India), Pakistan is not his concern!

 

·         For the Muslims who led the Pakistan movement and still believe in its ethos he uses the phrase “medievalistic warriors of faith.” – In other words for Shehzad Amjad and the editorial staff of the News both Jinnah and Iqbal were medievalists!

 

Facts That Shehzad Amjad Conveniently Forgets!

 

·         Other than an instance or two while the Muslims were fighting the British colonialists, the Hindus were stabbing them in the back

 

·         Where would he put Jaswant Singh’s and Shiva Ji’s revolt against Aurangzeb?

 

·         The Hindu rise and the crushing blow it had from Ahmad Shah Abdali?

 

·         Or what the Indian and British connived against the Muslims? (not to mention Nehru’s bootlicking of Mountbatten!!!)

 

Shehzad Amjad of the News Refers to Pakistan as a “Contradiction” and “Psychological Non-Existent”

FAULTLINES EXPOSED!!!

 

The shaded passages say:

 

·         Pakistan is finished

 

·         It is psychologically non-existent

 

·         It suffers from crises because it is a “state of non-being”

 

·         Had it been a genuine state, it would have had no problems.

 

·         And since it is “non-existent,” its map can be redrawn

 

The News’ writer visualizes Pakistaniat (Pakistan and Pakistanis) as contradiction [translated: Marxism]

 

Shehzad Amjad of the News Wants Kashmir Out of Pakistan!!!

FAULT LINES EXPOSED!!!

 

The above passages openly say

 

·         Kashmir does not belong to Pakistan

 

·         Pakistan is a bad dream. Why would the Kashmiris opt for Pakistan?

 

·         Bangladesh is the result of Pakistani exploitation (never mind the Indian aggression)

 

Who is Shehzad Amjad to decide for the Kashmiris that they should not join their Pakistani brothers?

 

What moral grounds he has to make judgment on Pakistan? Is he not parroting the Indian theme being sold to Kashmiris?

 

·        All told, what is bad about Pakistan. Is it not a fact that Pakistan is one of the three democracies in the Muslim countries?

 

·         That Pakistan has a higher per capita income in South Asia

 

·         That Pakistan enjoys better health, food and lifestyles than any other nation in South Asia

 

·        That Pakistan has worked relatively harder for Muslim unity and given support to Muslim causes all over the world. Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan is one of the most cherished moment for humanity.

 

·         That the Pakistan despite economic downturns is big on compassion for fellow Muslims all over the world.

 

·        That Pakistan has supported the oppressed all over the globe – financially, morally, and even militarily

 

·         That Pakistan is a nuclear power with budding missile technology

 

Shehzad Amjad may not know it because of the Indian blinders on his eyes, but the Kashmiris can see for themselves because they have thrown away their’s. He also does not know because of his secular orientation that nations and their aspirations are not always measured in material terms nor are the material considerations the prime over of important historical events. Kashmiri Muslims and Pakistani Muslims are one in Islamic Brotherhood.

 

It is a real shame to see a majority of the journalists of our country being ignorant about the News’ anti-Pakistan and Pro-Indian agenda?

 

Najam Rafique of the News Refers to Pakistani Identity as being “Fabricated” by Fanatic Muslims [Jinnah & Iqbal]!!!

 

EXCERPT

 

I choose to invoke the names Indus and Ganges, instead of, say, Pakistan and India… But for me, Indus and Ganges put the issue at hand in an appropriate framework of space and time. A new framework indeed, but one where the events of the last half century are only a small bend in a majestic and continuing journey of some ten thousand years

 

For many outsiders, as well as those within, the feeling of affinity, a sense of identity and oneness appears to be weak or lacking among the people. The task before them appears to be based on parochial and narrow lanes rather than the preservation and enhancement of a wholly Indian identity which depends upon the relevance of Indian history, its amalgamated cultural values and commitment of its people to the goals and objectives enshrined in the preservation of this identity.

 

The hate and intolerance by fanatic sections of the Hindus and Muslims, has failed to create a cohesive Indian nationhood has envisaged by Indian leaders like Gandhi, Nehru, Azad, Nanak, Tagore and Iqbal.

 

Sadly, however, the two principal communities refused to strive for a national identity from a common platform. Choosing instead to view themselves in a narrow religious divisions. Religious riots, which blind them to this day, posed a further obstacle to the promotion of national unity.

 

It was forgotten that national identity evolves, and that is not fabricated, The Indian identity was already there…

 

FAULTLINES EXPOSED!!!

 

The shaded passages say the following:

 

·         Pakistani people should strengthen Indian Identity by discarding Islam

 

·         Pakistan is an artificial identity which was fabricated by the fanatic Muslims [includes Jinnah and Iqbal]

 

·         The only identity that sticks is India which is not fabricated…however Najam Rafique fails to provide any evidence that the Indian identity was also not fabricated…

 

Disinformation By Najam Rafique

 

Iqbal believed in Indian Nationalism. It was fanaticism which made Pakistan possible. Muslim shared Indian Identity with Hindus.

 

Facts that Najam Rafique Deliberately Overlooked

 

Iqbal formulated the idea of Islamic Pakistan

 

Muslims ruled Indians for almost 1,000 years. Indians (Hindus) were their subject

 

Pakistan is the continuation of Muslim rule over India

 

Catch-22 For Najam Rafique

If Najam Rafique wants to revise history, he would undoubtedly end having the Muslim rule which dominates the history of the subcontinent!!!

Shehzad Amjad Calls Pakistan’s Claim to Kashmir as “Dehumanized”!!!

FAULT LINES EXPOSED!!!

 

The embossed passages reveal a disturbing mindset

 

·         It seeks to derail the Kashmir issue by taking it out of the United Nations’ purview.

 

·         It aims at divesting the Kashmiri issue of a legal basis provided by the UN resolutions.

 

·         It preempts Pakistan from helping the Kashmiris

 

·         It makes fund of our historic consciousness, of our self-respect and pride as a people in the stream of history

 

·         It does not believe in the Muslimness of the Kashmiri and Pakistani people, their cognate nature of oneness

 

·         Pakistanis suffer from “aimless delusion of grandeur” [Never mind the tautology of empty-headed combination of “aimless delusion”. Delusion being an insane state of mind has no aim or aimlessness].

 

·         Worse, it is a shameless effort at alienating Kashmiris from Pakistan by telling the that the community they wish to join stands “discredited” in terms of its ideology.

 

·         Pakistan is a “morally backward” nation [because of Islamic morals]

 

·         Pakistan’s ideology is a “collective psychosis bred by incessant propaganda of an authoritarian [military] and scheming [security agencies] establishment]  

 

·         According to Shehzad Amjad’s dim-witted hypothesis, a country’s ideology can stand “discredited” because the majority of the people are considered to be the “poorest of the poor” – never mind the ideology of the countries that are below Pakistan in terms of poverty…what about them Mr. Shehzad Amjad?

 

All other peoples have the right to strengthen themselves by coming together but not the Muslim peoples of Pakistan and Kashmir.

 

One wonders’ who is footing the bill for Shehzad Amjad’s lousy ruses?

 

Friday Times Asks Women To Have Extra Marital Relations!!!

 

EXCERPT

 

Some time back I read a fatwa by some alim that the men landing in paradise will get houris and ghilman while the women will only get their husbands. I am deeply distressed since then. I have put up with my husband as a good Muslim wife all these years so that I could go to paradise and partake of the above-mentioned pleasures, but the fatwa has shattered my dreams. Why cant I also have ghilmans…(I am not bothered about houris because I am not into alternate life styles). If, even after going to paradise, I have to content with my husband then it makes a very good case for opting for hell. Please help me resolve this because I don’t want to die an apostate.

 

Yours disillusioned wife

 

[Answer]

 

Since all women are doomed to go to hell anyway, what’s your problem? Come on women, shake a leg. Get on with your earthly desires pronto but make sure that your husband doesn’t catch you in the act. If he does, you’ll get to hell faster than you have bargained for.

 

FAULT LINES EXPOSED!!!

 

This letter of a “disillusioned” women (probably a fictitious one) has been used to set up a new social agenda:

 

·         Women are being told to have extra-marital relations through ‘earthly desires’, Worse! it also promotes adultery and fornication!

 

·         Keep it secret so that they are not caught. The contrive message has the following ramifications as well:

 

·         It tells the women that since they are already destined to hell [wonder how?]; so why bother? Give liberal expressions to your sexual urge.

 

·         Husband-Wife relationship is degraded as the disillusioned wife seems it difficult to digest her distaste about being “content with my husband” even in paradise!

 

·         It also hits on Islam as an oppressive religion in which women’s destiny is hell and nothing less…

 

Can the Pakistani Journalist Lobby attest to the above as being fair and true media?

Friday Times Degrades Pakistan Using RAW’s Women!!!

EXCERPT

 

I am in a real blind. You see I am a die-hard nationalist with an active libido. Lately I read this news that Indian RAW has infiltrated a large group of very beautiful women entrap Pakistani men and glean state secrets from them. The news about the beautiful women ready to jump into the sack really turned me on, but the nationalist streak cautions me against falling prey to their charms. The conflict is getting to me and I don’t know what to do. How can I enjoy these women without betraying my country. Please advise.

 

Yours confused nationalist

 

[Answer]

 

As a fire-brand nationalist, it does not behove you to fall into RAW’s clutches. You must therefore control your raw passions by starting to say your prayers regularly. In the meantime, could you please pass, on the name and address of the beautiful RAQ agents to the edtor of TFT so that he can personally check out the dangers that lurk therein.

 

FAULTLINES EXPOSED!!!

 

·         Nationalism is ridiculed and so are the Muslim prayers (salah) – both are seen as an obstruction to “enjoy these women”

 

·         Lewdness is encouraged by spreading sex without marital obligation.

 

·         Giving out signals to encourage foreign powers employ this methodology to “glean state secrets”

 

·         Degrading Pakistan at the hands of RAW – Humiliating Pakistanis to fall prey to a handful of women to reveal state secrets

 

Such pieces are contrived, mostly in letter-form to carryout the newspaper or magazine’s social agenda.

 

Is there no end to such false and cooked up stories to degrade military institutions and security agencies in Pakistan?

Lubna J. Naqvi of the News Teaches Hypocrisy & Pre Marital Relations to the Youth!!!

EXCERPT

 

The best thing that happens to you is a good friend. But have you ever thought how hard it is to retain a friendship? No? Well, here I am again with a few tip and rule on how to keep your friends only to yourself.

 

1.      Once you have made a friend the best way to hog all his / her attention is by going out of your way to do anything he / she wants you to. Suffocate him / her with your love and attention. And make him / her do the same

 

1a. Laugh at all the corny jokes your friend throws your way. It will help in forming a strong bond between both of you.

 

2.      Call him / her all day and even at night and talk about everything under the sun. Let him / her talk as well, but don’t pay much attention, though of curse make your friend believe that you are all ears. Keep grunting and interested grunt into the receiver, while in reality you are filing your nails (or your dogs nails).

 

2a. If your phone bill is too high, then tell your friend, when you meet personally, that you had been trying to get through but your phone was a) held up, b) out of order, c) the friend’s phone was engaged, d) his / her parents had refused to call him / her on the phone e) you were too scared to call him / her.
