Cutting the bait: 

Of the latest, it is yet an indication of a sadistic compulsion to heap scorn on Pakistan knowing full well the beleaguered country’s troubles. Thank God, it continues to show its resilience. In any war, they say, the real heroes are behind the scene. In Pakistan unfortunately, they are right behind. Even to speak of Jews, or Hindus, they have known pain to at least reflect on its meaning. Yet those, who self servingly jump at the first opportunity to grab spaces and draw advantages, yet to slander the very grounds they have made their gains.  

But for these, religion and politics is safe in Pakistan where majority has historically spoken for an open society. Christians, I keep reminding, have continued to live side by side with Muslims.  

I am a loyal Canadian, all for the record, and to the country my mother is buried. For anyone, I could never imagine judging his mother, if to understand and offer a hand.  

I am saddened by this repulsive attitude, particularly coming when some hope is on the horizon. Forgive me, I do not sell snake oil wearing different hats -– but I am here.
