Talha Rizvi | 6 years ago | Reply | What about venerating Shiva ji a notorious thug and murderer. Do you know statistically Hindus suffered the most from his raids as they formed the majority in villages who his bandits looted with great ferocity?

justwondering | 6 years ago | Reply | which is what the history and the present tells us. Maybe not all, but there is plenty of evidence for a it is a crude religion....

Talha Rizvi | 6 years ago The religion whose followers start a riot in Madhya Pradesh over a dead cow where archaeologists start a dig on the dreams of some sadhu can't be called as advance.

Bilal | 6 years ago | Reply | Clearly, you haven't read the book. Scroll down this article and you'll see for yourself. Jeeeezzzz http://blogs.tribune.com.pk/story/19373/calling-dr-pervez-hoodbhoy-jahil-can-only-happen-in-pakistan/

Solomon2 | 6 years ago | Reply | Brilliant. Counter every one of the harebrained retorts and you'll go a long way to asserting sanity in your country.

ahsan | 6 years ago | Reply | malala is a pupet of usa and europe

Syed Murtaza Shah | 6 years ago | Reply | Brother business suit is not the property of west nor are we bound to follow Arabian culture. Pakistan has a very rich and fine culture and we dont need to borrow from others. Yes, we are bound in a common faith with the Arabs but that is something very different from culture.

Shahid | 6 years ago | Reply | Malala might be brave which she really is but is she intellectual? the answer is no, Its all Malala Daddy Falcon's failed political ambitions. Just to see how 'intellectual' Malala is, see her interview with Jon Stewart, where he asks some question around 11:00ish and she starts repeating herself like a parrot without knowing the question. Same videos are available on Youtube before she was attached, where she's being interviewed by some foreign journalist and she's answering like a parrot and where she forgets the answer, she looks at Daddy Falcon and he tells her where to say. Once again it is pro-jihads vs liberal fascists fight and common man is confused who's right and wrong.

Areej014 | 6 years ago | Reply | haha, interesting how i could relate to this. I've heard most of these responses go around!

Ramis | 6 years ago | Reply | Hahaha ... great job Jahanzaib!

Faustus | 6 years ago | Reply | Wow! Y'all sound so much like an average Pakistani hence playing right into the hands of the writer, Bravo Mr. Haque

raj | 6 years ago | Reply | Very nice but extremely generalized article as far as title is concerned. It should be something like A guy's opinion not Pakistan's response

Fram Hansotia | 6 years ago | Reply | Brilliant! Hilariously accurate!

Syed Murtaza Shah | 6 years ago | Reply | Hard work done probably by a leftest from PPP giving themselves a clean chit (Corruption, incompetence, destroying national institutions etc not big issues), silently criticizing rather naming PTI as narrow minded but at the same time admitting that majority of Pakistanis are not with them. Extremely unfortunate, why are we searching our identity in western values and norms????

Zee | 6 years ago These so called liberals should move to Pakistan. Why the don't shed views on IamMalala where she spoke on Salman Rushdie. She is the shame to Pakistan. @author. Why don't you respect average pakistani opinion rather bashing them. Shame on you. ET moderator. Allow my comment without editing

Indocanuck | 6 years ago why are you wearing a business suit? shouldn't an ethnic arab dress be more your style? Since you identify and draw inspiration from the Arabian peninsula ? :) Jus sayin

broken chooza | 6 years ago | Reply | Fallacies committed in this article/post by the author.

keaga | 6 years ago | Reply | hahahahahaha...awesome and pretty accurate ref the views being thrown around

Kami | 6 years ago | Reply | @author you are also an "average" pakistani

nishantsirohi123 | 6 years ago | Reply | so accurate brainwashed by the wrong info text books

Talha Rizvi | 6 years ago Typical Indian comment as if your text books are all truthful.

blue bird | 6 years ago | Reply | a slap on the face of imran khan's followers.

archer | 6 years ago | Reply | I got two words for you: CLICH and BORING...yawn

nishantsirohi123 | 6 years ago the prevailing reality is not a cliche

WookieBrown | 6 years ago | Reply | Slow news day ET?

Zainab Imam | 6 years ago It's a blog - got nothing to do with news. Just sayin'.

Saqib Saleem | 6 years ago | Reply | I don't know why malala is so important for the fate of Pakistan. There are many other issues in society that need to be addressed. Malala is just a face mask wear by west to hide its bloody face coloured with the blood of thousands of innocent children in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of world.

Bazinga | 6 years ago You see the 13th column? Yea buddy that's right its you in it on the right!

Ali Abbasi | 6 years ago | Reply | One day we will be free of the HinJew conspiracy that keeps threatening Islam and Pakistan. Then the Muslim Ummah will expand their headquarters to the moon and beyond, IA/MA/AH/TC/BBM.

Nandita. | 6 years ago | Reply | This is a bit off topic but had to say this : I read 'I am Malala' and I'm in awe of that child. Such bravery displayed by someone so young!!!.She is a courageous girl born to a great man..Certain sections of the book moved me to tears, her detractors ought to read the account Of her life-that would dispel all the conspiracy theories.. Or maybe that's too much to ask for huh?

cute man | 6 years ago | Reply | Malala is a Robot designed by Intel and Microsoft, fuelled by starbucks coffee to defame pakistan.

Noman Ansari | 6 years ago | Reply | In the second and fourth panel, the dude on the left could be an armless man with wings. Funny stuff btw.
