Sufferings of our brothers in Indian Occupied Kashmir give us the pain as well. May Allah Kareem give Kashmiris their long due Independence from brutal rule of India and take all their pains Off. Ameen.

Naseem Sohail | 14 years ago | Reply Kashmir issue? What Kashmir issue? I am a second generation Pakistani and I think we just need to grow up and focus on needs for Pakistan. We've got far more pressing problems on the streets.
