It’s amazing to me that the two Pakistanis I like listening to the most are ‘molvis’: Ghamidi sb and Ahmed Javaid sb. I think the reason is that in Pakistan the only field that allows you the possibility of real depth is religion, which in Ahmad Javaid sb’s case has also extended to Literature. He is a tad long winded aur laffaazi mayn kuch zyaada ulajh jaatay hayn, but it’s only this Off The School Podcast that offers any literary depth in the Pakistani media landscape.
Comparing and contrasting the right wing styles of OTS and EON (both right wing podcasts) is also an interesting study. OTS represents these actually parhay likhay guys, deep into Indo-Pak Muslim Tehzeeb (of which religion is one part). EON, otoh, represent the ugly side of religion — identity politics, chest thumping, us versus them mindset.
Karachi rishta scene is wild bro you can match maslak ethnicity everything and they will say no because their dada came from deccan in India and your poor dada was from UP
Just because a Sunni extremist group that hates Shias carries out a terrorist attack on a Shia place of worship to kill Shias DOES NOT mean that this was anti-Shia violence. It means something else apparently. I am very smart. Hope they don’t divide us.
Went to Imambargah Khadija tul Kubra in Islamabad to offer namaz e janaza for 9 y/o Ali Asghar from my village & others martyred yesterday. 1000s attended & raised powerful slogans of Hussainiyat & sectarian unity. We must not & will not let these takfiri mercenaries divide us.
This is such jahil reasoning and you're old enough to understand this. Shias were k!lled after terrorists checked ID cards in buses multiple times. Shia doctors, professors, clerics have been targeted, Ashura juloos are attacked! It isn't limited to Mosques. Stop playing dumb.
Anti-Islam Iranians have the same energy as Islamic fundamentalists, they just express it via Iranian nationalism.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
@_shershahhkhan_ Our lives are worthless because we tell the world they are worthless. We kill one another over trivial theology and none of us care. Why should the world care?
The intensity with which the state has targeted PTI, Iman Mazari, and Hadi Ali Chatha is unmatched. If that same intensity had been used against terrorists, we wouldn’t be facing such tragedies today.
Just Pakistani nationalists who claim to empathise with Palestinians but take validation by assuming all Indian Muslims go to temples or are secular out of fear.
They get sadistic pleasure by using what we face to justify Jinnah's blunder that millions from all faiths died for
Listen to this, this is the joy that some random judge stole from the people of Lahore for 2 decades.
This judge who gets a salary from taxpayers may be able to send his children abroad where they can enjoy themselves. But he denied the same opportunity to his own countrymen.
