There can be little doubt that these attacks on

Yes! Very true, and not only money. As has been
frequently reported, many American Jews go to "Israel"
on their summer vacations and serve in the
Zionist
occupation army "for fun". A Jewish executive in one
a big New York company did just that and it was widely
reported in the press. Apparently pointing guns at
Palestinian
women and children gives such sick
individuals some sort of pleasure.
Yet for actual involvement in a
military occupation
that even the US government does not officially
accept, these people are held to be guilty of no crime
whatsoever and are even showered with favourable
publicity.

WHY CORRUPTION IN
PAKISTAN?
[Letter from London, England]
You have spoken about secularism.
I want to ask about something more basic, that is
simply honesty and decency (i.e. the opposite of
corruption).
We often hear Pakistanis say that the West has the
manners of islam but no God. We have God but no manners.
The question is, if people know their behaviour is
wrong, why don't they change it themselves? Also if
they admire the absence of corruption of the West, why
don't they ape this aspect?
You said their are decent people like tabligh in
pakistan. If they live amongst the people why doesn't
their example change anything?
Salaam,
shoaib
