On religious tolerance.
From Daily TimesLAHORE: Last Tuesday, Pakistani President Gen Pervez Musharraf did something, and also said something, which is rare in the political history of this Islamic Republic. He visited a Hindu temple in Karachi and said, “Places of worship of all religions, including Hinduism, were an integral part of the culture of Pakistan and its geographical history. Maintaining such properties in good condition is a government priority in order to turn them into sites of bonding between religions,” Sudheendra Kulkarni writes in the Indian Express newspaper.
Hmm. This is interesting. Has the great president ever visited the temple at Manora, an island off Karachi? The temple there till 6 years ago was being used as a public lavatory. Don't judge a book by its cover. In related news two Christians were sentenced to 15 years for allegedly burning the Holy Quran. Please note the emphasis on allegedly.

Hey girl!
I love your 'rantings' on instep from liiike.. 2 years ago? I admire your bluntness and straight to the pointness.. and miss your music related articles.. decided to google and found this blog.. if thats stalker-ish then I do apologise!!
But keep it up girl, and although I'm not based in Pak, i do like to keep up to date on recent happenings at 'home'. So very interesting stuff you got here .. keep it up!
I agree totally with supersize me.
though I feel bluntness needs to move to only "straight to the point" for you to be taken seriously and if you want to be heard. Respect.
boss... burning Quran is wrong... and it is as wrong as using the Hindu Temple as a lavatory... someone has to stop religion in the world... if there is no religion, most of the worlds problems would be solved...
