Beautiful, we are very very few people like you, we have not come out from grief and sorrow of Benazir Bhutto, our one more leader has been assassinated.
we fight, we will fight with these extremist for brining justice in the country and ultimately shed the lost drop of blood of our blood in this jihad.
Hi folks, I’m a Bangladeshi ex-Muslim living in Singapore. I recently found out from the Strait Times that you are living here as well.
I got a note from a cyber friend in Pakistan that your brother Shahbaz has been kidnapped, supposedly, by militants. Is that true?
Dear Sara,
In the wake of calamity people come together and give each other hope and although we want to hug the good times close, such is that which tests the mettle of the strong, heroic, pure at heart and the good, and separates them from the rest. Your father’s death was a sad tragedy on so many levels that we still are to feel the aftershocks of this heinous crime against Humanity. On a personal level words fail me to express my feelings of sorrow and compassion and I am sure, I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to go through what you and your family had to experience at the hands of those you trusted with your lives. I salute your courage in the face of it all and pray for you and your family to emerge as victors and for the safe return of your brother. May God Bless you and your family.
