A citizen’s address to his nation

My fellow compatriots,

Asalamoaliekum!

The 27th of December is indeed a black day for the entire nation. The nation once again witnessed a heinous act that took the life of the daughter of the east, Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. Not only Pakistan, but also entire mother Asia has lost a brave daughter. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a martyr himself, and keeping the family tradition, his daughter died a martyr as well.
However, this tragedy is not just an event to sit down nor is it an event for creating chaos. What has happened is enough. This event is a lesson –a lesson that reminds us of the dark chapters of history that are now closed. Furthermore taking to the streets for nothing is not the answer. Time has come that we escape…escape from the repetition of history, escape from the nozzles of guns and other weapons, from the war between God and Man, from the effects of unemployment, the wounds of child laborers, the tears of the orphans, the screams of the injured,…time that we escape from the cycle of poverty, the pain of starvation, the horror of terrorists, the terror of militancy, soldiers of the enemy, the clutches of dictatorship, the lies about democracy, the slogans of falsehood, the voices of the deprived and the enemies of Allah and his creation.
The enemies of the nation will keep exploiting the country unless or until her citizens unite. Unite with a new spirit, a new passion, anew cause and new destiny. We have spent enough time (honestly, decades!) worshipping others. We must make an original aim. Just look at our culture: it is confusion! You will see women without any thing in the name of a dupatta or anything and mostly western clothing on our so-called Pakistani TV channels! The people have forgotten our eastern arts and have contaminated these supposedly ‘new’ additions or fields –music, painting, poetry, architecture, drama, fashion, dance, film, and every thing! Furthermore, we have have begun disgracing our own language! The word ‘Islam’ is considered an abusement, let alone ‘Islamic.’ I have stated a few of the million other examples I could quote. We must now revive our political motivation with eastern and Islamic values, traditions morals and ethics. Time has come that we become an original nation and wipe out corruption.
The movement has already started and is ready to embrace the masses if you the masses join! An organization is already being formed to achieve the goals mentioned above. It does social/humanitarian, Islamic, cultural heritage, relief, arts and crafts (all kinds of arts/humanities) and promotion of the love for learning. Its primary aim is peace. I have the honor of leading it. I request you to join me in this movement and let us clean this land and make it paradise!
DAYAAR E ESHQ MEIN APNA MAKAAM PEDA KAR
NAI MANZILEIN NAYE SOBH SHAAM PEDA KAR
Finally, I would conclude stating that breaking cars would get you nowhere; however, there exists great reward-spiritual and worldly, healing the wounds on the hearts of people who have lost all hope but Allah. AllahuAkbar.

salam all!
Sorry that I come and go like the electricity of Paksitan, but you see I've got excutive responsibilities that call upon me first. As a humanitarian org leader, I've got alot to do, furthermore the islamic work is enough to twist a neck! let alnoe the arts/humanities related work. while the poltiical tasks are most serious, I've gotta spend a lot of time for them. while the sufi, spiritiual, eastrent cultural heritage, eastern languages promotion, litercay promotion, motivation, social, relief, etc mumbo jumbos are all on my two shoudlers. The org is not the end of the road: the poetry, afsanas, novels, dramas, books and articles are all time consuming tasks. furthermore, the letters are the most imp headache. MY other 'personal' interests also require some time, like, for example, learning persian and punjabi [will learn pashtu if time and allah permit] I hardly get time to sleep. the financial matters are grave and depress me. yet, the shahadat [matyrdom] of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto has shattered me. Furthermore, the blasts and deaths occuring every day make my work as a peace lover and propagator [all alone by himself] a test of faith! anyway, itis always good to see that you guys remember me and whenver i have time, I love coming here, it feels like coming back home. My heartiest salamz and greetings to you riya sister, my best wishes and regards to the supportive and encouraging [plus another long list of praises] to anne sahiba and prayers for mr.Iqbal.
Allah Hafiz for now.
