With a country so many challenges to face and bearing continuous heat waves from Afghanistan since 1979 after Russian Invasion, Pakistan is standing firm to fight back and knock down the forces conspiring against the last fort of Islam.
Don't feel ashamed of Pakistan, I know you left this country or almost ran out of the boundaries, but you never did anything for this country. What is your contribution, what is your responsibility, what is your duty??? You would never realize that.
I feel that my anger shoots to sky when I find people not seeing bad patches in their own society and only find Islam as easy target to vent out their bluffs. You raised the issue that you see beggars in the streets of Pakistan...Did you ever visit New York?? May be if you will see those beggars in the subways of New York, you would not even notice them all because of your love to America. As you are mentally prepared to put dirt on Pakistan and Islam in particular, you would highlight every minor issue and make it a big hot air balloon.

You seems highly polluted when you find atrocities committed by Muslim men against Women. The rare cases are less than 0.00001% when seeing the huge population of Muslims living around the world...Why do you ignore the shameful cases committed by your brothers in the West and USA in particular??? If you will find the real picture of sorry situation of women in USA alone, your eyes would pop out.

It is very easy to throw mud on Islam for dirty minded people like you..In fact you are also not much clean and sin free.
Better judge the reality...stop blaming Islam, individual crimes don't represent connection to any religion...try to understand that!!!
