1. Muslim soldiers of US and British Army partake in wars against Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Sudan etc. during which they fight against Muslims. Soldiers from both ends chant slogans of Allah-O- Akbar while fighting against each other and die with Kalma-e-Tayyaba as the final words coming out of their lips. Grieved Muslim families from both sides claim these lost souls as Martyrs who will be rewarded in Hereafter and will inhabit Heaven.
2. A Muslim suicide bomber in Pakistan /Afghanistan offers prayers during the preceding night of explosion. He fasts early morning, recites holy Qura’n, gets dressed (wearing suicide jacket underneath) and goes on his stipulated target to brutally kill innocent Muslim children, men and women while reciting Qura’nic Verses. He aims at sending all his preys into Hell and finding himself amidst virgins (Hoors) in Heaven.
3. If prayers of the family, friends, followers, etc. really matter for a departed soul in easing his sins and preventing him from falling into Hell, then the most callous, corrupt, conspirator, and hypocrite rulers, generals, and political/religious leaders stand better prospects owing to their being famous (notorious in fact) that fetches lots of prayers offered for them.
4. One wonders as to who is going to make it into Heaven between these two;
A common Muslim who struggles throughout his life to earn his living while undergoing all kinds of good & bad (Haram and Halal) worldly experiences!
Or;
A revert/convert to Islam at his/her last breath!
5. When it comes to hating a nation, all Pakistanis are proud in pointing out at none other than the USA. Interestingly, the longest queue for obtaining visas can always be witnessed at none other than the USA Embassy in Islamabad.
6. It is no denying a fact that our rulers, top bureaucrats, bankers and businessmen leave no stone unturned to plunder national wealth and then siphon it off to Western countries through money laundering. When situation gets unfriendly, they flee the country and upon arrival in the West, these “patriots” shed tears over persistent corruption prevailing in the homeland. The clean, honest, and law-abiding democratic West welcomes these fleeing crooks to enjoy their stay as long as this wealth does not diminish.
7. We are a nation of short memory; like to forget and forgive every preceding mishap, insult and other excesses if the following incidents are larger in size.
I guess most of us are aware of these evils but feign ignorance or hope it will go away if we dont stare at it too lomg. The sad part is- it never will. Goodness and Good people must prevail- which is when grace will be returned to Earth.
