Chirand!

You wonder why we are in such a mess?

Here’s the answer

Enlightened shinlightened.

Wrap your mind around these statistics:

-Osama Bin Laden is more popular than Musharaf amongst Pakistani people.
-49% of us support Jihadi Groups.

-41% think implementation of Shari’a Laws should be a top Govt. Priority.

-18% of us think suicide bombings are justified!

-32% people feel Pakistan is headed in the right direction

-45% of us feel that the military SHOULD have a role in politics!

“This survey lays bare some dichotomies in the minds of the public. While 76% desire strict implementation of Sharia laws throughout the country but only 18% admitted that they attended the mosque daily. Moreover, MMA is the biggest alliance of the religio-political parties in the field which is strongly committed to the implementation of the Sharia laws but only 4% are expected to vote for the MMA whereas 15% and 13% may vote for the centrist parties (PML-N) and (PML-Q) respectively and 24% are committed to the centre-left PPP. Ironically, this low voter commitment to MMA is in spite of the fact that 43% agree that MMA has fulfilled its campaign promises against 36% who think it hasn’t.”

So for the most part we are a collection of illiterate, emotional, hypocritical, fascist, racist, ignorant and selfish people calling ourselves a nation.

Show me hope and ill show you a tunnel that leads to nowhere.

We keep clinging on to blind faith and hope what Quaid-e-Azam did was really a good thing.

PS: I’m not so naive as to think Surveys can not be biased. so please go ahead and let me know if you think the methodology is flawed or the conclusions biased:
