I have serious wonder. It seems like the media and western politicians try and "label" movements and ideologies. First we had the "communists" and they were bad (even though if you know anything about communism you realize that such an animal never existed). We traded our communists for Al Qaeda and Usama Bin-Laden and now we are on the ISL case. Every time I hear about ISL, I hear how even Al Qaeda found them too distasteful. I believe such labels make no sense and allow strategists to push things into neat little piles that do not really exist. Mark my words, the ideology behind Al Qaeda and ISL is more fundamental and base than the credit given it. To defeat an opponent you must study it carefully and understand strengths weaknesses and motivations. We seem to none of that.
Needless to say I deplore the fact that these bigots and fascists raise my Qu'aran in front of their swords of terror and oppression. God is frowning and asking why these people keep using his name.

Savages or What?
I have pondered the various states of political change across the world and am struck by one key fact: in most of the world political change comes with bloodshed and sometimes gallons and gallons of it. Why is this and why do Western Europe and the US seemingly enjoy political change without heeps and heeps of horrors? I believe it is because the moderates are the majority. In certain countries moderation is not allowed and so only extremism survives. It is like the chemistry of Ph. Extremes only exist at the far end of either the base or the acidic scale. I believe that is why people like Hammas and ISIS have had so much success because the people in their regions have no available moderation and so only the extreme survives....

Bogleppo and the Cruise Missile Crisis
And so another day passes into night. A little less concerned about the Blog than I am events in Syria and Iraq. I despise the ISIS terrorists and yet grown concerned about the US involving itself in further mid-east conflict. I believe that the US Govt' is well intended but do not believe that such intentions always play out in the court of public opinion in the mid-east and beyond. I tell my friends here to imagine the most backwards rootin' tootin' backwoods redneck and imagine such a person reacting to a foreigner....not too good. ell the mid-east and Pakistan have the same people, they just don't look or act the same but their brains work the same. They hate westerners (for no good reason) and believe in what the radical clerics tell them....

Anyone done such BLOG? ((((SOB)))
No comments yet so far....was hoping for some feedback on the best way to do this?
Questions and Answers.......
So in answer to some questions....I offer the following. My father's father's people are from Punjab in the western part of what is now Pakistan. I have distant cousins who are Sikhs but the majority of my people are muslim. My father came here for an education right after the Partition. My father worked on the Trans-India railway during the Partition and witnessed horrific acts of malice. I have aunties and uncles although most are now deceased: Ishram. Aslam. Balou Bhai. Rashid, Razia, Yasmeen and Faisal. At some point there was a gradual emigration to the states although many stayed behind. I have second cousin Zahid who resides in Lahore and has in fact encouraged my sisters and I to become more active online. In some respects it is out of guilt as he expresses how "unfree" his speech and thought are in Pakistan and that we here in America are blessed with so many freedoms. It has not gone unnoticed by us that, yes, we are all women and very free at that. If we were back in Pakistan, I suspect that I would not be writing this now. I do not wish to let the unwavering spirit of my father and my father's father be extinguished in this generational shift from country to country. e need to avail ourselves to our lives, liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness because if we were in a different situation, we would not be allowed to do so.

So my sisters and I have decided to go way tech. I am the oldest and live and teach in Kansas....my sisters live in Cali and San Antonio. Our father emmigrated from what was then India (pre-partition 1947) post WWII. We have spent a great deal of time here and there but certainly prefer here. We have family in Lahore and Islamabad as well as Karachi. WE have connected with a cousin Zahid Suleman Sadiq Gill who lives in Lahore but is infatuated with some odd place called Henrico Virginia. He blogs about his criminal history but it is mostly about his crazy opinions. We hope to connect with other family members through this blog. All 3 sisters are admin here so write anyone of us. In case you wondered about our names, it is customary in Pakistan to name all children with their grandfather's name as a middle name. Our grandfather was Muhammad Suleman Sadiq Gill. He died early but we all live in his honour.
