Yes We Can!

by Omar Ali

Here is my suggestion for the restoration of the judiciary (and believe me, its not as crazy as it looks):
Tomorrow morning or on Wednesday, the various lawyers bodies should announce a time and place from which the lawyers will lead a massive rally towards Islamabad, to liberate the imprisoned chief justice and take him back to his office in triumph. All political parties and members of civil society should be invited to join this great rally. More...

AN UNVEILED ATTACK

Dear countrymen,

 I would like to draw your attention to the fact that our journalists are hardly fulfilling their obligation to their noble profession. Recently a newspaper published scathing criticism of our iconoclastic initiative to destroy Buddha’s statues up in the north. Contrary to what the newspaper would have the people believe, we did it as a mark of respect for Buddha, as we believe that this is what Budhha would have wanted. Besides, there was a historical fallacy that needed to be rectified. We all know from our history books that while Buddha sat under a Bodhi tree, meditating on the causes of suffering, he always wore a loincloth, whereas in some of the statues Buddha was depicted wearing robes: a corrupting western influence on the Gandharan artist. Now, would Budhha have liked his image to be tainted by ‘anthropomorphism’ or ‘syncretism’? Obviously not, and therefore, we corrected the mistake with the help of dynamite to preserve Buddha’s true legacy. In addition, we have issued a polite warning to the newspaper to ‘improve its journalism’ More...

Extraordinary Rendition

By Hakim Hazik 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, Mr Half Truth has described as complete lies and fabrication the claim that the Great Leader, Gen Tinpot has met with Mr Ehud Barak during his recent European Tour. He a press statement he said, that the Government of Pakistan would like to be stated categorically, that 1) The Great Leader never met Mr Barak. 2) It was a chance meeting, in which nothing of substance was discussed and 3)For three hours the only discussion that took place was around the right of self-determination of Palestinians, and a two state solution. It had nothing to do with neutralising the Iranian nuclear programme. More...

WAFAQ KI ALAMAT


 
Dear colleagues, it is sad to see mohtarma stoking trouble even from her final resting place. In her book Reconciliation - Islam, Democracy and the West she says, ‘Usama Bin Laden is not representative of Islam. He is not representative of any civilization’. She goes on to say, ‘The message of Islam is subject to Ijtihad and Ijma. In every age reason is applied to arrive at a consensus of interpretation for that age’. This is a problematic statement.

CLASH OF BRUTALITY

 

Dear countrymen,

Our recent strategy of abandoning our axes in favor of firearms is likely to pay rich dividends in near future. It could even endear us to the snooping human rights activists who abhor beheadings due to some skewed logic of their own but may  take more kindly to bombing or shooting at point-blank range. In the meanwhile we must go on protecting our culture, morality, rich folklore and myths with gusto lest a heretic should decide to dismantle them. More...

BURY THE HATCHET AND PICK UP GUNS

Dear Citizens,

We are starting with this fundamental principle that we must make everyone a martyr. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed - that has nothing to do with the business of the State, for it is our sacred assignment to enforce correct moral behavior as the sole rightful guardians of morality.  We should be thankful that gone are the days when warfare in the name of God did not prevail in our part of the world.
