But I honestly thank all of those people who stood by me during that incident. The portrayal of both sides is biased. Not every American is racist and Islamophobic. Similarly not every Muslim is subjected to such discrimination; There are many people out there who respect us for who we are, not what we believe in.<br /><br />Anyways. I remember one thing they say about being American:<br /><br />The American spirit, is not defined by color, creed or religion. It is defined by one's passion for freedom, prosperity, tolerance and peace. You may be white, holding the red, white and blue flag but you're not American unless you stand right next to your Hispanic, African, Asian, Jewish or Muslim neighbor. You're not American, an inhabitant of the land of dreams, if you don't acknowledge and respect difference in form of humans, values, caste, creed or color. You're not American if you subject these matters to intolerance. For America is not a country, it is a dream to be achieved by us all.

The first became overly aggressive, the second one became too insincere. They say third time's the charm so here goes nothing:<br /><br />Every time i read a post like this, preaching tolerance and harmony across the universe my heart is filled with great sorrow and nostalgia and i end up unwittingly offering a prayer for the writer even though i don't believe in god. <br />I wanted to leave you a comment on your last post because i was extremely impressed by the strength of your character and spirit that came through so vibrantly in that post but i refrained because i felt that it was too personal a subject matter for a random stranger to come and leave his two cents worth on. Unfortunately this post, which is ripe for random strangers to drop in and say share thier opinions, does not permit me to offer you any compliments because in your efforts to preach tolerance you have also exposed your intolerance for intolerant people. <br /><br />You are in for one rude awakening lady, best of luck.Phitaymaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468252619386695293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077923011882920088.post-43287260984061573402009-10-13T05:43:08.276-07:002009-10-13T05:43:08.276-07:00@Sarnaf: I think the author was specifically talki...@Sarnaf: I think the author was specifically talking about the sectarianism violence and racism in Pakistan.

This is the time when Lie becomes Truth. <br /><br />You must have heard of Obama getting Nobel Prize. " When War becomes peace, When the Lie becomes the Truth".<br />When concepts and realities are turned upside down, When fiction becomes the truth and truth becomes the fiction.<br />When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor. When the killing of civilians is upheld as "colleteral damage". When those who resist the US-NATO led invasion of their homeland are categorized as "insurgents" or "terrorists. When preemtive nuclear was is upheld as self defense. <br />When advanced torture and "interrogation" techniques are routinely used to "protect peakeeping operations"<br />and when when when<br />When the Lie becomes the Truth.<br /><br />"Yeh Na tera Pakistan hai ne mera Pakistan hai"Sarnafnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077923011882920088.post-84581499128818538592009-10-13T03:48:29.341-07:002009-10-13T03:48:29.341-07:00nicely written.

Religious hatred and sectarianism...Nicely written.<br /><br />Religious hatred and sectarianism aside, its boils my blood to see how racist we are as a nation. By nation I mean this collective mob of many nations juxtaposed together. Just a few days ago someone who had been to interior Baluchistan, was telling me as to how it was considered honorable to kill a Punjabi. They actually boast about the number of Punjabi's they're raped and murdered. If you haven't killed a couple of Punjabi's, you don't deserve to be called a Balouch. Thats the kind of country we're living in. <br /><br />It also has to do with the concept of religion. It is a sacred concept. Every religion, whether it be Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism or Islam teaches humans to live a better life, co-operate and create heaven on earth. I don't know of a single religion which promotes violence or teaches to kill those who don't hold the same beliefs as you. Yet, since ages past, people have massacred literally thousands in the name of religion.<br /><br />But I guess this is the nature of humanity, we cant accept people who are different than we are.
