Sharique:

Please consider revising the title. We should give them the same respect that we expect from them. In any case, it is not the right time to use harsh words.

This is a shocking incident, and I hope that Pakistanis are able to recover from this setback and continue on their path to peace and democracy.

While I can understand Sharique’s strong reaction, I am of the opinion that this is not the appropriate time or the moment to use such strong words in reference to Pakistan.

Shahran,

Read the link you provided (#22). Was very touched to read the post by Owais Mughal and Adil Najam. Heartfelt thanks!

Sharique,

I think Shahran is hurt by the title and this view can be shared by many pakistanis. Let us show that we stand with our fellow pakistanis in time of trouble and that we don’t want to put them down. Again Shahran, sharique is commenting on the current state of Pakistan and not to Pakistan as a country.

Shahran,

Sorry for any hurt caused by that statement. I’m sure Sharique didn’t mean it that way.

I agree that this is not the time to be putting down Pakistan, even if it is factual and not based on malice. Therefore, the author should consider changing the title of the article.
