stop mocking the religion in your protest. Holding a vigil (origin: christianity) and a fateha khawani (reciting the word of Allah) for your so called protest?
I assume that 99% of you are muslims. Stop making fun of your own beliefs and protest in some other constructive way..
i second that brother.. better yet, stop protesting for something you don't even know a whole lot about. It's people like you who're wrecking Pakistan, not Musharraf. we all know "protesting" is the new hip thing, all the cool kids are doing it, but grow a pair, open your frigging eyes, and try and realise that "protests" like these are the reason a peaceful affair goes awry..
go die, make my fucking day.
peace.
I might not go whole heartedly with the protest thing but I do have issues with 'something you don't even know a whole lot about'. I know that my freedom speech is non existent, I know that police can brutally hit me if I ask for my freedom of speech, I know that I can be swooped by the authorities and taken away to some place for no apparent reason coz stating the anti - terrorism law as a reason also means that you should be taken away for trying to provoke things by using obscene language, I know that if there is emergency then it means that the country is not stable and hence no investors would come in pakistan, no company would out source in pakistan and you can't go outside pakistan for work coz in addition to the previously held belief that i might be a terrorist there is also this huge probability that i might be a political worker fleeing the country. Stability acquired through force is always of a temporary nature.
