Messiah's, Assassinations and What-not!?


Hey there guys, sorry for not posting again after some time. Blogging been taking a bit of a back-seat for me lately. Started making music again (After almost year, due to school).

Anyways, back to topic. The past few weeks for Pakistan have been volatile to say the least. Another MQM official shot dead in Karachi, and Tahir Ul Qadri; a Pakistani-Canadian Sufi Scholar turned Politician/Messiah is taking the centre stage. 

His call for a "million-man march" in favour of reforms and against corruption has propelled cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri to the status as the champion of Pakistan's middle class. Although the protest in Islamabad will achieve little, it casts a spotlight on the population's growing displeasure and it's dwindling faith in Pakistan's mainstream political parties. His liberal views, his open condemnation of terrorism does have my support; though not sure on his motivation for suddenly returning to Pakistan. If he is what he says he is, then he might just turn things around or be another let-down.

I like his Sufi Ideals (and in general Sufism influences me alot) and the fact that he heads an interfaith organizations seems to bring in new hope. It's a time for these feudal political dynasties to step down and let in a new plethora of people to lead the country out of this pit of doom and on to salvation.

Though then again, I might just be another teenage blogger rambling on again about stuff I don't know that much about.
