How To Donate For Flood Victims In Pakistan

Flooding began in Pakistan in July 2010 caused by monsoon rains affecting the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab as well as parts of Baluchistan. It is thought that at least 2000 people have been killed and over 20 million are now destitute and suffering. Please don’t as much as you can for the brothers and sisters effected by the flood. Please lend a hand to those in need. Your donations could make the lives of many Pakistanis better. As the Qur’an says:

“Whosoever kills a human being, except (as punishment) for murder or for spreading corruption in the land, it shall be like killing all humanity; and whosoever saves a life, saves the entire human race.” (Al Qur’an 5:32)

India More Poor Than Africa

Eight Indian states account for more poor people than in the 26 poorest African countries combined, a new measure of global poverty has found.
The Indian states, including Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, have 421 million “poor” people, the study found.
This is more than the 410 million poor in the poorest African countries, it said.
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures a range of “deprivations” at household levels.
Developed by Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) with UN support, it will feature in the upcoming UNDP Human Development Report.
The measure assess a number of “deprivations” in households – from education to health to assets and services.
“The MPI is like a high resolution lens which reveals a vivid spectrum of challenges facing the poorest households,” said OPHI director Dr Sabina Alkire. Source

Hindu Extremists Angry On Sania Mirza – Shoaib Malik Wedding

MUMBAI – Hindu extremists have a plan or two up their sleeve for Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik.
The Indian tennis star has decided to marry the ex Pakistan cricket captain and this has not gone down well with Hindu extremists such as Shiv Sena, which has organized protest rallies all over India in which posters and effigies of the bride and groom were set alight.
Though the Sena does not have a good enough presence in Hyderabad it is doing everything possible to make its presence felt on the Day of Sania’s marriage. It is believed that there would be a protest organized by the Sena in conjunction with many other Hindu extremist groups near the hotel where the marriage would take place.
Bal Thackeray is said to be fuming ever since the news of the marriage broke in the media earlier this week.

‘They are attacking us with their terrorists, they are kicking us out of Afghanistan, they are sidelining us at major global summits and conferences, and now they are stealing our women? Is India a land of neuters that she has to go find a man in Pakistan to marry? (India mai kya hijray rehte hain jo woh mard dhoondne Pakistan gaee hai)’, Said Bal Thackeray this morning.

Impact Of Indian TV Channels Star Plus On Our Children

I want to highlight a very important issue in my post, and I know there are people who realize this but still many don’t realize it yet. The problem that we need to discuss here is The Impact of Indian TV channels, specially Star Plus on our children. There is a large percentage of women and children viewers in Pakistan watching Indian TV channels and dramas at home. These channels and dramas are proving a slow poison for our children. They are destroying their moral character, their faith and innocence. This is the time to realize, revise  and remember the reasons that despite living together over thousand year why Muslims and Hindus didn’t merge as one nation. This is the time to remember that we are two separate Nations with different faith, culture, religion and festivals etc. This is the to tell all this to our children before it too late.  We don’t have to wait for Government to take an action, we have to start it from our home. Prevent our children and women from watching these unrealistic Indian TV channels.
