This is the country where young men celebrate Independence Day (that <B>black</B> day) by riding on bikes with silencers removed and harassing women. I thought it was a prank by a few - nope - it's a widely-practised time-honored tradition!<BR/><BR/>We need to accommodate them within our system. I've concluded that the people of Pak cannot bring major change about themselves - the powers that be are too powerful and brutal. It's up to us. I don't know how we collar them, but it's becoming painfully apparent that it needs to be done.libertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258039856928341788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9237907.post-1127103244934776302005-09-18T21:14:00.000-07:002005-09-18T21:14:00.000-07:00I'm not an expert on Pakistan, but it seems like t...I'm not an expert on Pakistan, but it seems like there's this bloody head-in-the-sand culture of denial prevailing over there. On the hand, the Pakistani elite wants to portray (as Musharraf has been doing) the country as a moderate and modern Islamic nation and at the same you have these atrocities going on unchecked. The pathetic spin attempts will not wash with the world increasingly in no illusion as to Pakistan's credentials as a tolerant, forward-looking state. <BR/><BR/>Women in Islamic countries may not enjoy the same freedoms their counterparts in the West or elsewhere do, but they are much better off in South East Asian Islamic nations such as Malaysia and Indonesia. Perhaps it is no incidence given the history and the cultural mix.Queasy Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292745300990615404noreply@blogger.com
