Muslims in America, Christians in Pakistan
Shame on my country for the way it treats Muslims and shame on Pakistan for the way it treats Christians.
I don't know much of the specific background of the anti-Christian rampage last week in Lahore. But is there anything I don't know that would mitigate or excuse it?
A major theme of my writing and public speaking is an insistence on distinguishing between what I call the Pakistan I know and love – a rich, diverse, fascinating smorgasbord of humanity – and the distorted, two-dimensional Pakistan that most Americans see on TV. But when what they see on TV is Muslim Pakistanis burning crosses in a Christian neighbourhood, it makes it even harder than usual for me and other friends of Pakistan to make a case.
It's all too true that Pakistanis and other Muslims are unfairly stigmatised and victimised in America. But anyone who would point that out in this particular context, as any kind of excuse would be playing a shameful politics of distraction. As an American, I feel shamed by the ways that my society mistreats Muslims here. By exactly the same token, Pakistan and all Pakistanis are shamed by mistreatment of Christians in Pakistan.
What happened in Lahore is not political or religious terrorism, although surely it has the effect of terrorising Pakistani Christians, but simple bigotry and bullying. Pakistani Christians are not Americans or Westerners, and to mistreat them as if they were somehow responsible for America's sins is the crudest and ugliest kind of scapegoating.
As every Pakistani knows darn well, Christians are among the most downtrodden and vulnerable people in Pakistan, especially since the passage of the despicable blasphemy law during the Ziaul Haq dictatorship. Furthermore, most Pakistani Christians are descendants of low caste or "untouchable" Hindus who, quite understandably, saw the Christian message of universal brotherhood and equality before God as more appealing than a social-religious system that defined them as subhuman.
Islam had, and has, a very similar humanist and egalitarian appeal, which is why the persistence of essentially Hindu hierarchy and snobbishness is so jarring and distasteful when one encounters it in ostensibly Islamic Pakistan. I'm not a Muslim or any kind of expert on Islam, but I do know that if there's anything Islam is supposed to be all about, it's human dignity and equality.
The moral and political health of any society is expressed in how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. Muslims, as members of a group against whom many Americans blithely and wrongly consider it excusable, or even admirable, to be bigoted, are among the most vulnerable people in America today.
Shame on my country for the way it treats Muslims.
I've written versions of this many times over the past several years, in contexts ranging from one disturbed young man's failed attempt to bomb Times Square, to the loutish, disgusting celebrations (in Times Square) at the death of Osama bin Laden, to the cowardly and sinister use of drones. Some of my own friends and family have felt I've gone too far at times, particularly when I published articles titled "The Colorado Killer Is Not a Muslim" and "Newtown Is a Village in Pakistan". I stand by those articles, against my own relatives, because I want to stand up for anyone who is mistreated or misunderstood.
In exactly the same spirit, I stand up for Pakistani Christians. Whenever I speak to Pakistani audiences in the US, someone invariably asks me some version of the question "Why Pakistan?" The question is on my mind these days, because it's nearly ten years now since the publication of "Alive and Well" in Pakistan, my book-length attempt to answer it. What's ironic is that the most specific answer to the question of why I went to Pakistan in the first place in 1995 is that a 14-year-old Christian boy, Salamat Masih, and his uncle were enduring a trumped-up blasphemy trial that was making headlines internationally, and the South China Morning Post of Hong Kong wanted me to make some of those headlines. So I crossed the border at Wagah, showed up in Lahore and wrote about the trial, then proceeded to fall in love with Pakistan anyway.
I still love Pakistan, despite everything. That should not be surprising; I also love my own country, and my friends and family, despite their faults, as I trust them to love me despite mine. But sometimes it's not easy to do.

Can any reader say with any degree of authority how many Pakistani's have been beheaded in Saudi Arabia? Why compare a far away country like America. How many Pakistani's have a Saudi Arabian spouse. Now how many Pakistani's have American spouse. We in Pakistan live in a very very myopic world, we do not wish to know the uncomfortable truth about ourselves, about other people, about other nations. Many Pakistani's like to believe their ancestors were Arabs, and would want others to believe the same. This is the degree that they have been indoctrinated. Yesterday Pakistan celebrated Pakistan Day, how many readers would be proud to accept the simple fact that Allama Muhammad Iqbal's ancestors were Hindus, how many readers would be proud to know that Muhammad Ali Jinnah's forefathers were also Hindus. Not even perhaps one. This is where we stand. Get out of this mind set, see things and accept things, do not make believe.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend And still, we call ourselves 'Muslims'! The followers of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and advertise that our religion is actually the 'religion of peace'. Please take word of the whole world against 180 million people and you'll know that Pakistan has not exported anything to the world apart from terrorism and gross injustice to the minorities. We need some serious reforms in our country. May I please stress on the fact that being a good muslim and being a good human being goes in the same line.| VIEW MORE COMMENTS
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Insaan: Sure India is trying and I acknowledged that. Indian laws reflect a willingness to secularize. Pakistani laws haven't caught up (or rather have become regressive after Zia, based on what I have read). But there's still a long way before it's free of all conflict based on religion alone. These things take time. And when did I say I came for 2 weeks? I never mentioned the length of my stay in India. And I simply explained what MY experience there was. Not always, but some of the time. As far as your neighbor being responsible for dividing, that's a weak excuse. From where I sit, both nations blame each other for their problems. The solution is take responsibility for your own countries and stop concerning yourself with the other. I still think it's tragic to see conflict within either nation when there is so much potential there. A proactive government is the first step in a solution. Hopefully, the people can make the right choice regarding who they elect to run their country. In my experience, MOST of the people (not all, but most) were not violent or hate mongering. They may not have always been highly educated but hatred was not embedded in their DNA and that means there is always hope.|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Sadia Khatri: I do understand the concerns and issues raised by Sadiag. However I would also like to point out that Pakistan is a country based on the foundation of a religious state for muslims. Islam is the dominant religion of Pakistan and Pakistan is an Islamic country. If other minorities are not going to respect the religion of Islam and make fun of our beloved Prophet (SAW) then this will lead to anger and resentment.|

Just like there is 2 kinds of Islam, the one Pakistani Muslims live by and one that exists in theoretical way. Are you after a Pakistani woman? Even most Pakistanis don't see Pakistan as a rich, diverse, fascinating smorgasbord of humanity? Do talk to some Ahmadis or Shias or Baloch people when you get time? You are living in a different world and seeing a entirely different Pakistan that exists in realty.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @A woman: but I have indeed been to India and what I saw wasn't always pretty unfortunately! ........... they have a long way to go before the pedal hits the metal as far as their transition into a fully secular nation off of paper. At least India is trying. All Ahmadis, Shias, Sunnis, Hindus, Christians get along with each other very well. No one is being forced to convert his/her religion. You can't know India by visiting India for 2 weeks. Thousands of Indian girls come to UK and USA to work and study. Our neighbor constantly keeps sending terrorists to divide Indians. Why do you think 10 Pakistani terrorists pretending to be Hindus killed 40 Indian Muslims and 124 non-Muslims in Bombay on 26/11? Targets are carefully chosen to divide Indian Muslims and non-Muslims Watch this video on the Internet. An Indian muslim answer to Gen. Musharraf|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend One can forgive the author his ignorance Conversion of the low castes historically was both to Islam and Christianity. Conversion by force did happen too. it is not just Muslims but most dark skinned people are ill treated in the US but murder is rare. The murder and serious ill-treatment of non- Sunnis is indeed a matter of shame and anguish for a large number of Muslims themselves. The author may feel conscience-stricken but that is no excuse for invidious comparisons.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Ethan Casey I bet when you wrote this blog you weren't expect the comment section to turn into a Pakistan vs. India battle were you? Lol, little tip, always expect it to. Even if you think people can't get there, I promise, an Indian and a Pakistani can. Goes to show, 65+ years and the countries still haven't grown up and stopped hating each other (oddly enough, ask an average person on the street and they won't feel the same way; throw them together on a blog or any comment section and wow, fireworks, and not the good kind). I would laughingly predict North Korea/South Korea to become one nation and Israel and Palestine to become one (LOVING) nation before I ever expect Pak-Indos to mature past the 'India vs. Pak in EVERYTHING' mindset. Back to the point, your heart's in the right place! However, as an American Pakistani, I can honestly say I've never ever for a second felt any form of discrimination. People have shown affection, interest and often curiosity if anything. That's a hats off to secularism in a true form, not perfect by any means, but visible and recognizable as secularism, not just in theory. The situation in Pakistan is currently something to be ashamed of unfortunately. And many many other countries (while perhaps not to this degree) have stifling attitudes of racism and bigotry against people of minority faiths (whatever those faiths may be). Much as I hate to admit, it's most visible in Muslim majority countries. But anyways, as I said, heart in the right place and I'm pleased you think so fondly of Pakistan, but it's in desperate need of a makeover at the moment. Cheers.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend Nobody : You are missing my point. If minorities in Pakistan want to migrate out because they are hounded out and minorities in US do not want to migrate because they are not hounded out, what are we comparing, Apples and oranges ?? Just to highlight the minorities plight in Pakistan, I have said minority hindus want to migrate even to India, which is not as prosperous like any western country, minority ahmedis have mostly moved out leaving behind shias and sunnis to fight it out.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @socko: I'm not mr. socko, but I have indeed been to India and what I saw wasn't always pretty unfortunately! While India has advanced in regards to what their laws are on paper (constitution doesn't discriminate against minorities and they are acknowledged as citizens with rights etc etc) they have a long way to go before the pedal hits the metal as far as their transition into a fully secular nation off of paper. But forget religious differences, the gap between men and women struck me harder than anything else. Tragic really, subcontinent does not lack greatness of people or talent or land and country, simply terrible governing coupled with a societal grasp of the 'old' too tight to fully accept the 'new' (secularism and equality of women and similar concepts).|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @vasan: Mate, it's rare for people to migrate ANYWHERE outside of non-Western countries. You give a person a list with China India Pakistan Brazil etc etc and another with the US, Canada, Australia and a few western European (and maybe for some, Dubai) nations on it, which do you think they'll pick (9 out of 10 times as opposed to 10 out of 10, for the sake of argument...)? I don't see people standing in queue's to go to any of the non-Western nations you mentioned so your statement doesn't exactly hold up your intended implication. Cheers.|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Syed: Minorities suffering in Pakistan, as compared to China & India ???? The Muslim population has grown exponentially faster than any other minority group in India. India is host to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile and has one of the oldest archdioceses of the Roman Catholic Church. Whole swaths of regions are populated by minorities. China is home to thousands of minorities, including a very large Muslim population that lives in relative harmony, except Xinjiang Province which has separatist claims. Pakistan on the other hand, is a blood bath in slow motion for minority and majority alike. Sad, but deflecting does not change the reality. There has to be some soul searching and a general weaning away from your Saudi Wahabi overlords, who think you no better than pests.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend Rubbish - Pakistan just burned down 150 Christian houses, it's SC suspects the local govt was complicit, and there is a history of blatant persecution of minorities. Comparing this to how Muslims are treated in America is pathetic pandering to anti American crowd. The realities are that Muslim's migrate to America everyday - and once in they America stay - can't say the same for Christians and Pakistan.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend Furthermore, most Pakistani Christians are descendants of low caste or "untouchable" Hindus who, quite understandably, saw the Christian message of universal brotherhood and equality before God as more appealing than a social-religious system that defined them as subhuman. Ah yes,that Christian message of universal brotherhood that de-humanised an entire race (the Africans),and almost wiped out the native populations of America and Australia because they were even less than sub-human.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Shazia Bangash: The correct comparison is not in the treatment of moslems in contemporary America, but in how America treated its native American population and then treated/treats the black African slaves and their descendants. For your kind information America has a black President. Christians are still treated like animals in Pakistan. Any Muslim who wants property owned by Christians can cry Blasphemy and take an Islamic mob to attack and terrorize Christians. How do you think your Hindu forefathers became Muslims?|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @ Ethan Casey Unfortunately your writing reeks of inherent biases against Hindus. While you are free to think as you please, your journalism skills are clearly not objective & flawed and I think ET has made a gross error by publishing this article. Your thoughts clearly highlight your underlying desire to pander to a certain audience. For example the comment - "which is why the persistence of essentially Hindu hierarchy and snobbishness is so jarring and distasteful when one encounters it in ostensibly Islamic Pakistan". I see no connection between your message (what I think it is) and this comment. I don't get why Pakistani issues can only be discussed in context to issues in other regions. Is this to soften the blow on Pakistanis?|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Author Do you think that burning 150 homes while cops continue to watch is so mething that has ever happened in US with Muslims? You are simply establishing a false equivalence. If you want compare the treatment of Christians n Pakistan, then the place to look for is Pakistan itself and look at treatment of Shias in Pakistan, Ahmadiyas in Pakistan and Hindus in Pakistan. In case you are aware there are many rights that Pakistan withholds from non-Muslims including the right to vote for any candidate of their.choice? even if the way back when if the lower caste Fourthly even if the low caste people converted to Christianity 100s of years back, why do they continue to be at the bottom of the pyramid in the supposedly egalitarian Pakistan? In India our Air Chief and Defense minister are both Christian. Also if it was Hinduism that had kept them down, why did the conversion centuries back not uplift them?|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Ethan Casey: I am a shia Muslim from USA. I have lived in this country for 18 years and not a single instance I have felt discriminated because of my faith. US constitution enshrines freedom of religion, everybody is free to worship as they see fit. I beg to disagree with your conclusion when it comes to treatment of minorities in US and Pakistan. Can you please tell me when in US in the last 40 years, Muslim properties were damaged by a unruly mob. Pakistan is a global security threat. They have everything going against them and they brought upon themselves. Christians and Hindus are barred from holding good job in Pakistan, it is not part of their constitution, but there is inherent bias from the majority towards minority. Please tell when in US a fundamentalist baptist Christian went and blew up a catholic church. You cannot cite a single example. But in pakistan regularly shia mosques are targeted by terrorist in the name of mainstream Sunni Islam. I gave you this analogy for you to ponder about minority situation in Pakistan. I would very much welcome a rejoinder from you with additional clarification. Thank you.|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Ethan Casey: "I mention mistreatment of Muslims in the US as a way of offering context". . . . In the present context how Americans treat their minority cann't be compared with the way Pakistanis have been treating their minorities. There is a great deal of difference btw a people disliking other people and people physically attacking others in a coordinated manner or organizing an arson. And in Pakistan minorities also suffer from state sponsored religious persecution as well. How can you compare the state of a much better American minorities to that of a seriously persecuted minorities of Pakistan. Hindus, Shias, Ahmedis, Christians are dying here Mr. Casey.|

The whole story invited more to violent for money, this was started from a notorious CIA operative Raymond Davis who killed two youngsters of Lahore. The money making game was however dominated by the aggrieved family(s). Then the master minds have adopted the business of easy money. It must be stopped immediately otherwise many incidents would be occurred in due course of time.

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @author, your response to Shazia, Again ur making the same mistake, you cannot context the behaviour of citizens ( which becomes directly behaviour of countries) , when the basic rules the citizens are following itself is divergent. Americans are inherently secular because they have there rules(constitution) like that, Pakistanis are inherently nonsecular as they have accepted there constitution and name as Islamic Republic of Pakistan. So you just can't , repeat can't compare US and Pakistani citizens. Pakistani citizens can be compared only to those citizens who have accepted same rules. I think you should still make a more study and put more effort on knowing americans and pakistanis both.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend Hi Ethan, I have read your blog as it was suggested by a friend. I am not gonna go through all responses but trying to write what is the actual cause of this. First of all, all these christians are Pakistanis, Neither Europeans, nor Americans, so this is no reaction against any of the western community. There is need for interfaith harmony, and this is the main point of all this shit happening. In recent years, this kind of stories are becoming very norm. There is zero tolerance against blasphemy in Pakistan as last year only just supporting a women victim, the Governor was killed in Islamabad. So tying this together to what America is doing to Muslims does not seem justifying. There is great dispair over drone attacks against America in Pakistani masses but this is a complete different scenario. Christianity is the second closest religion to islam having so many things in common. A Muslim cant be one if he/she does not believe in Prophethood of Jesus. So the only thing is respect. If we respect each other religions apart from out filthy politics, i think it will lead to good future and things will become normal as they were before.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend There is a difference between the Muslims in America and the Christians in Pakistan, The Muslims chose to migrate to America, in more instances than one, many have violated rules and regulations to enter the country and to live there. The Pakistani Christian were born in this land and can trace their ancestral links to the soil of Pakistan. They did not migrate to Pakistan unlike many Pakistani Muslims who never tire of claiming their Middle Eastern or Central Asian lineage.. Pakistani Muslims always have the option to return to their land of origin but the Pakistani Christian have little or no option to move out of Pakistan, Therefore drawing an analogy between the two communities is simply out of question. . Has any Pakistani Muslim community ever been victimized or even threatened by frenzied mobs as has become the norm in Pakistan towards its minorities? Has any Pakistani Muslim girl been kidnapped and forcibly converted to Christianity?|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Shazia Bangash: I think I agree with you, Shazia: your comparison is more directly apt than the one I made in my article. That said, I'll also add that I'm surprised and a little disappointed that so many readers have focused on comparing the two countries. I mention mistreatment of Muslims in the US as a way of offering context - that I understand that Muslims are mistreated and misunderstood, in the US and other countries - but the real point of my article is simply that mistreatment of Christians in Pakistan is wrong, shameful, and dismaying. Period. Anyway, thanks again for your observant and thoughtful comment.|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend It pains me to read these so called white Americans travelling to Islamic countries and then proclaiming that America mistreats its minorities. Really? I am a Indian from India who has been here over 22 years in the USA. I have stayed in many states of USA and never once I have been mistreated. I have quite a few muslim friends and they have never been mistreated. If at all muslims are mistreated then it is because of them acting strangely. In America we need to follow the law of the land and even If you are mistreated then the law takes care of this. Please do not go to foreign lands and abuse this country. Yes we do have problems in America but It is better than other countries. Ask a minority muslim in USA whether they want to go back to their homeland or work hard and live the american dream. The answer is obvious. They want to stay here.|

Millions are spent by the FBI to target and entrap them. That some 'terrorists' killed in fire fight with Pak Security forces had tattoos on them the like of which are common in the US special forces. Also forensic analysis confirms that the same weapons were used on both Shiaas and Sunnis. Thousands more Sunnis have been killed and their businesses burn then all the other groups combined.

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend This column makes little sense. If you want to equate America's so-called mistreatment of American Muslims with the grave injustices that Christians in Pakistan have to endure, then you're misleading the readers. Neither the severity, nor the prevalent persecution of Muslims in America is even remotely similar to that of Pakistan. You're talking about a whole new playing field. Yes, there might be some discrimination, there might be some vilification of Muslims by right wing-media, but abundantly there are other media that would just as easily portray a different picture of Muslims, there are far more Americans that do no discriminate between Muslims and non-Muslims. The US constitution grants every citizen, Muslim or otherwise, every right to freely exercise their religion. Its societal values guarantees that almost every Muslim can lead a secure and normal life, not hindered by others. If Muslims feel they have been wronged in anyway, they can go to the authorities for help. What does Pakistan on the other hand stand for? Christians are marginalized and are living on the fringes of society. They are discriminated for jobs, most of them can only get a job as a cleaner. They are despised and are often spoken with contempt. Christians girls get kidnapped and forcefully converted. When a Christian girl is raped, the perpetrator can just walk alongside the police station and not get arrested. Christians can't freely proclaim to be Christian, as a fellow countryman could be offended, which can result in a death sentence or a mob execution. Christian and other minority children at school are forced to learn Islamic teachings. Cooked up blasphemy charges against Christians result in widespread destruction of private property and the deaths of many. Minorities can be attacked at will, when someone wants to blow off some 'religious' steam. When was the last time you heard of a case where 3000 American bigots marched into a Muslim neighborhood, destroying hundreds of houses and shops, plundering the few possessions of the American Muslim citizens, and getting away with it, while the American police forces were standing by and doing nothing?|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend Dear Ethan. Your article appears to be trying to build bridges with Pakistanis. However, you are effectively engaging in apologetics for Pakistan's inhuman treatment of its minorities. I think what you are doing is naive and irresponsible because your words will encourage further inhuman treatment of minorities in Pakistan.|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend Shah (Berlin) > Lamer reply Mr Shah. I dont think you got my point. In comparing Muslims in America and Minorities in Pakistan, my question is if people in Pakistan want to migrate out and People from outside do not want to migrate to Pakistan, then the comparison of sufferings of minorities as described by the author does not hold water. India does not come into the picture at all. But still it is not out of place to point out that many of Pakistani hindus would like to and have migrated to India because of their sufferings like forced conversion etc and vice verse ie Muslims migrating from India to Pakistan does not happen. You draw your own conclusions, if u can.|

7 years ago | Reply | Recommend @Shah (Berlin) I was just pointing out to Mr Syed (@syed) on his statement on the condition of minorities in India. With ref to your posts in the past, I feel it will be a waste of time to discuss abt the conditions of minorities in India.. According to my opinion, you reject reasoning most of the times and have bigoted world view. As I said before, I would advise the same as I did with @Syed. Why dont you come to India and have a first hand look at how good or bad minorities are treated in India, a country with one of the most diverse cultures in the world?|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend We tend to always show our disaproval when we perceive that people have misbehaved. For example we all condemn the way some so called muslims have murdered the shias in Karachi or the christians in Lahore. We also appropriately condemn the violent way the christians have protested against their persecutors and the Government that enables it to happen. But I have never hard any words of praise when the Ahmadi Muslims buried their 100 murdered community members after the Government sponsored their murder on the 28th of May 2010. There ware no protests, no dharna, no altercation with the so called law enforcing agencies. It is better to praise the best of a society instead or complaining about the mischief mongers.|

Every country/culture has its black sides, and the problem is that every one is ready to point rather than accept their mistakes. Burry the hatches and move forward in harmony is not that easy as it sounds. You can read above comments where hatred towards Pakistan or hatred towards USA can be seen. Both the sides arguing about the mistakes of others. People like you who will come forward and deal every one indiviually are required in the world for it to survive. ...Hopefully there are more people like you in this globe who will stand together with the victims rahter than his/her religion. We can make a better world....Hope you live prosper and keep loving Pakistan. Regards|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend Such narrow understanding of issues and depthless article actually harms your favourite country even if you have good intent. In some ways an article written by Mullah is relatively better than yours(not better in original sense but relative sense) because even though it is poisonous and polarizes people it makes it objectives pretty clear. Your article on the other hand confuses those who are on the middle ground and gives them a false sense of hope and justification about what's happening in Pakistan by comparing it with minor incidents in other countries. So basically you are saying that 25% anomalies in the Pakistani system is equal to 5% anomalies in other countries which is simply ridiculous. No society is perfect and there will be biases and oppression from one section of the society on the other, but the extent of what happens in Pakistan probably ranks right after the tribal military conflict of some African regions.|

If you are such a principled man than you must also not be bothered by things like load shedding in Pakistan since 10 times more load shedding happens in Africa and Bhutan Nepal etc. @author The attack was not about America or UK. Although I agree that some Pakistanis WRONGLY believe that by somehow harming Pakistani Christians they will affect the west or by harming Hindu's they will affect India. If anyone disagrees they should watch Hamid Mir's show on Rimshah Masih and listen to the molvi sahab in it. BUT this has got very little to do with that. The fact is that a lot of people in Pakistan have no tolerance,no respect for others. They consider themselves to be superior and correct and others as inferior. I assure you that once there are no christians left; the people in the mob will turn on each other. Just look at Pakistan's history. We are a nation obsessed with homogeneity. We want everyone to look the same, talk the same, have the same religion, eat the same food etc. If anyone is different they become a danger to us.

Burning over 100 homes of Christians in Lahore, just for the alleged blasphemy of one christian man is by all means horrific, similarly the protests by Christians in Zainab Market Karachi and destruction of property is also horrific. On the same token, bigotry against muslims in America is also horrific. I would urge Americans to distinguish between Islam and Pakistan. They are poles apart. Also Pakistanis living abroad in America or the west are not the ones (nor their relatives in Pakistan) who are involved in these horrific crimes against Christians. The main issue of Pakistan is illiteracy and anger among the common masses. This is down to government failure, who did not invest in strengthening education and law and order in Pakistan. However Americans are largely educated people and their behaviour against muslims is purely due to bias and bigotry, which may well have been fuelled by their media and the powerful anti islam lobbies.|
7 years ago | Reply | Recommend "Pakistani Christians are not Americans or Westerners, and to mistreat them as if they were somehow responsible for America's sins is the crudest and ugliest kind of scapegoating." How are you assuming that any of these conflicts are statements against Westerners? This is not about America's sins, this is a much deeper issue, rooted entirely in national politics. Audiences who don't understand Pakistani dynamics are going to read your article and leave with zero understanding of what's going on, and further hatred for Pakistan.

My research group focuses on chemical mechanisms of oxidative damage to DNA under conditions mimicking oxidative stress. Free radical damage to DNA by reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduced in living organisms due to the effects of ionizing radiation, UV-light, tobacco smoking, and infections has been unequivocally linked to a number of debilitating conditions as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and aging. Therefore, cures for these diseases rely on a better understanding of underlying mechanisms of DNA damage. The aim of our research is to deepen the understanding of chemical mechanisms of reactions of ROS with DNA essential for prediction of long-term biological consequences of these processes and for future elaboration of preventive measures aimed at controlling DNA damage by free radicals.
Our research group has thoroughly elaborated a set of HPLC-based techniques of quantitative analysis of low-molecular characteristic products of DNA oxidative damage as a well-established, powerful, and convenient method of studying mechanisms of oxidative damage to DNA.

The README for the asciidoctor gem is being displayed in Japanese instead of English. This is happening because the README-jp.adoc file is being used instead of README.adoc. Unfortunately, most visitors expect the README to be in English. Can you please tell me how I can fix this problem?

See https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/asciidoctor/2.0.0

Sure thing!

By default, YARD picks the first matching README file as part of the README* glob. You can override the README file by specifying a first extra file or using --readme README.adoc in your .yardopts file.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick reply.

You can override the README file by specifying a first extra file or using --readme README.adoc in your .yardopts file.

I do that already. https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/blob/master/.yardopts

Do I have to include the .yardopts file in the gem?

Yes, the .yardopts must be packaged with the gem for rubydoc to pick it up for gem docs hosting.

Argh. That means there's no way for me to fix it for any gem already released.

Is there any chance you'd be willing to change the glob to only match the basename README (keeping the wildcard only on the file extension)? Surely that's the behavior users expect. (That's also consistent with how other systems work, like npm and yarn).

I think this conversation would be better had as an issue YARD itself (https://github.com/lsegal/yard/issues). I think I'd be open to discussions about how globs are sorted so as to choose a more reliable default, but we couldn't exclude README-* files from the glob altogether, since that would be a breaking change, and likely not the expected behavior either. If you're interested, a PR to sort README and README.* ahead of other README files would be considered.

I can follow up there.

What's the use case for only having README files with a hyphenated suffix? Obviously, there may be additional files with a suffix for translations, but why would you ever want those to be selected anyway? The only case I can think of is someone adds the "-en" suffix to the English version instead of using the basename README. But that seems highly unlikely. Perhaps I'm just not aware of this practice.

London, grey sky. One morning I woke up and I couldn't stand grey anymore, because grey is indifference and apathy, and the clouds are also grey, and they can be scary, as they say: "It's going to rain, you should walk, run, hurry." It is impossible to be idle in London. There are always clouds in the sky and no benches on the street. You'd better move.
It was vacation time, and I am young. It was time to be lazy and happy. But London is not idle, and happiness is not grey. It was clear to me: I had to leave. My friends and I left for the French coast as fast as the idea came up. It was easy to convince them. We all felt the same. We packed our things and took off.
When we landed, the French sky was cloudy again, but we were on vacation, and when you're on vacation you create the environment, especially in the countryside. The whole point of living in a city is to surrender to it. You end up accepting the city's rules, habits, roles. The pressure is too big. If you stop in the middle of the constant movement, just to take a breath and rethink, it is already too late. You're left behind, and apparently that's the biggest problem of our era.
But on vacation, when you're a foreigner, you don't belong to the city and its rhythm, so the pressure doesn't exist. Real vacation is the nonexistence of change. That is why some creatives say they never go on vacation, and they do have a point.
That's why even if there were clouds when we arrived, it was OK. When the skies didn't provide light, Antonio had his phone by hand to light his face, and Pablo could take the picture. This was the first moment of reshaping the environment. The rest came naturally. Antonio and Lucile started showing their work with complete freedom, because they were on vacation. There was a real impression of nonexistence of right or wrong. We had some drinks because we were on vacation. There was a picture taken with an old, half broken phone, because we were on vacation.
I don't remember everything, I was happy, but it worked out more or less like this: We intended not to evolve, we were trying to make the most of being out of London for a while. We wanted a real vacation, so we focused on the things that never change, which are the important things. Love, fear, beauty, friendship, happiness. Every human being has felt them deeply in every age, here they remain, here they will endure. We tried to reach what's important, the core. To keep the soul at rest.
And in the end, everything looked different. Our mood, our work, our relationship with others. Even the light. We didn't change anything and everything changed.

So many couples are struggling with infertility, and this has sometimes got to do with the male's health.
At least a third of the time the guy's sperm is at fault, health experts say.
Besides, healthy sperms translate into healthy babies, and so guys must learn to maintain a healthy lifestyle, among others to improve the chances of conception.
Want to know more about how to make sperm stronger and healthier?
Scroll down for some tips:
Stop smoking
Smoking cigarettes and marijuana can cause oxidative stress and damage your sperm. Smoking can also change the size and shape of the sperm as well, a recent study in the journal Human Reproduction said.
READ ALSO: 4 foods you need to start eating for longer eyelashes
Avoid mobile phones
Health experts often caution men against any increase use of their mobile phones. Why? Because men who use their phones more have decreased sperm mobility, probably due to the electromagnetic waves.
Hit the Gym
Exercise raises a man's testosterone and that helps him produce sperm. So don't forget to exercise when you can. Nevertheless, too much exercise or over training can deplete vitamins and stored hormones. Too much time on a bike can also put excessive pressure on the testicles, so as much as you exercise, try and take a break for a while.

Wear comfortable underwear
Check the underwear you wear. Cotton underwear is often the best and can help in sperm production. You can also decide not to wear any underwear at all.
Avoid stress
Being stressed out often can affect your adrenal glands, and this may affect sperm production. Try and relax. Get enough sleep. Have fun with your friends and family.

I have a black knit shirt that has a company logo embroidered on it. The logo is about 4" tall, and is approximately in the shape of an upside-down pyramid/triange. I would like to cover up the logo so I can wear the shirt without being a walking advertisement. Any suggestions?

Lynne- If the embroidery goes all the way through the shirt, you can simply (and carefully) undo it from the underside. It that's the case, just be careful not to clip the actual shirt thread but rather the embroidery thread. Hope that helps! :)
Try finding a decorative patch that you do like, and covering it. That way at least you'll be wearing something you like. Decorative patches are available from fabric/craft stores.
I've done this many times...just go over it carefully with a black Sharpee marker. Should make it disappear. I've even done it on black leather walking shoes to make them look more like regular shoes.
Any permanent black marker will do. Sharpees are easy to find and definitely permanent

Barring any unforeseen circumstances the State should rest their case by noon. It will then be up to the Defense to present their case or not, as the Defendant has the right not to testify, or to anything if he believes the State has not proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Vicente Saenz testifies about events that led to his brother Diego's death during Suarez murder trialNEW BRAUNFELS — Vicente Saenz on Tuesday testified that a confrontation nearly eight years ago led to his brother Diego being stabbed to death in New Braunfels.
The altercation started because he yelled at someone to drive slower in an apartment complex, Saenz testified.
The testimony was given during the murder and assault trial of Leeroy Suarez, 29, of New Braunfels. Suarez is on trial for a first-degree felony count of murder and the second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly attacking the brothers between the night of Nov. 19, 2004, and early morning Nov. 20, 2004.

The Supreme Court unanimously struck down the 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts Thursday, declaring it an unconstitutional restraint on the free-speech rights of protesters.
But Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by the court's four liberal justices, said states and cities retain ample power to protect medical clinics and their patients. He cited with approval laws that forbid "obstructing access" to a medical clinic or harassing people within 15 feet of an abortion clinic.
Roberts noted that most of the problems reported by police and the clinics in Massachusetts occurred outside a single Planned Parenthood facility in Boston, and only on Saturdays when the largest crowds typically gather.
"For a problem shown to arise only once a week in one city at one clinic, creating 35-foot buffer zones at every clinic across the Commonwealth is hardly a narrowly tailored solution," said Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion.
Roberts noted that no other state has a similar law and that he is aware of only five cities that have created fixed buffer zones around abortion clinics: Burlington, Vt.; Pittsburgh; Portland, Maine; and San Francisco and Santa Barbara in California.
Although the court's decision was unanimous, the more conservative justices issued a separate opinion objecting to Roberts' suggestion that Massachusetts could enact a version of the federal law that prohibits people from blocking abortion clinic entrances.
Justice Antonin Scalia, in a concurrence joined by justices Anthony M. Kennedy and Clarence Thomas, said the law is "unconstitutional root and branch." Justice Samuel Alito filed a separate concurrence.
Scalia said state and local governments around the country would continue to be able to "restrict antiabortion speech without fear of rigorous constitutional review."
Still, abortion rights advocates lamented the new ruling and said it compromised the safety of women seeking abortions.
"This decision shows a troubling level of disregard for American women, who should be able to make carefully considered, private medical decisions without running a gantlet of harassing and threatening protesters," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
But Mark Rienzi, who represented the protesters, said, "The government cannot reserve its public sidewalks for Planned Parenthood, as if their message is the only one women should be allowed to hear. Today's decision confirms that the First Amendment is for everyone, and that the government cannot silence peaceful speakers."
Massachusetts officials who backed the buffer zone said they would try to re-craft the law to address the high court's concerns.
"The fight is just beginning again," said state Attorney General Martha Coakley, whose office had argued before the justices.
The buffer-zone case began when Boston-area grandmother Eleanor McCullen and other abortion opponents sued over the limits on their activities at Planned Parenthood health centers in Boston, Springfield and Worcester. At the latter two sites, the protesters say they have little chance of reaching patients arriving by car because they must stay 35 feet not from the clinic entrances but from the driveway to those buildings' parking lots. Patients enter the building through the parking lots, which are private property.
Planned Parenthood provides health exams for women, cancer screenings, tests for sexually transmitted diseases, birth control and abortions at its clinics.
The organization said that the buffer zone has significantly reduced the harassment of patients and clinic employees. Before the 35-foot zone went into effect in 2007, protesters had been able to stand next to the entrances and force patients to squeeze by, Planned Parenthood said.

What's up with the apocalypse?
Redeemer University College uncovers our collective cultural paranoia and our cravings for stories about the end of the world at the Beyond Worldview conference
Whether a laptop, a smartphone or a nuclear missile, the world is moving quicker than ever before. In the 21st century, we've seen technology change drastically and seen the many benefits globalization provides. But have these massive cultural shifts also increased our collective paranoia?
Alissa Wilkinson, associate professor of English and humanities at The King's College, New York City, dove straight into our fascination with and fear of the apocalypse in her talk "What's up with the Apocalypse?"
Wilkinson was one of three Christian thinkers who dug into faith in the digital age at Redeemer's Beyond Worldview lecture series. Redeemer's Centre for Christian Scholarship hosted James K.A. Smith, Kevin Schut and, Wilkinson. Students, educators and community members packed a lecture hall as the headliners spoke on topics from video games to zombie apocalypses.
Overall, the Centre aims to connect outstanding Christian scholarship to everyday life. Talks like Beyond Worldview, and the Christian research from which they stem, are crucial in equipping Christians to be culture makers, not just media consumers.
This year, in a nod toward Redeemer's new Media and Communications Studies program, the focus of the Centre's conference was on media and culture. Hence, the video games and zombies.
Nowadays, television shows, books, and movies are rife with the destruction of an apparent apocalypse. The Walking Dead and World War Z portrays humans becoming undead, Game of Thrones depicts a world preparing for an extraordinarily long winter and Battlestar Galactica renders villains with exceptionally heinous agendas.
But stories about the apocalypse are not unique to our culture or era. "We've been telling stories about the apocalypse basically since we've been able to tell stories," Wilkinson continues. The Bible is bookended with narratives of apocalypse: the flood in Genesis and the second coming of Jesus in Revelation.
The difference between these ancient stories of apocalypse and our own stories of disaster is that, Wilkinson argues, our stories trend away from hope and are fundamentally pessimistic. This trend away from hope makes our stories dystopian; not apocalyptic in the original sense of the word.
From the Greek apokalypsis, apocalypse is more accurately defined as "the destruction of perceived realities," Wilkinson says, "or an unveiling, an uncovering." The key is the hopefulness inherent in the original meaning. "It is destruction, but with the intention of renewal;" states Wilkinson, "hope is included."
The trilogies The Hunger Games and The Lord of the Rings provide a pertinent comparison. While both stories contain a collapse of social order, the dystopian Hunger Games ends with the continued destruction of society, while the apocalyptic Lord of the Rings sees a redemptive end brimming with the hope of new life and restoration.
"We must remember that apocalypse is hopeful," contends Wilkinson. Suffering and pain can give meaning to our lives. Christians should examine their own sense of apocalypse—when we plead "come, Lord Jesus," we plead for the hope we have in Christ.

Off-White and Mr Porter have joined forces on an exclusive capsule collection, entitled "Modern Office". The not-yet-released offering will boast 44-pieces of linen trousers, canvas jackets, and t-shirts, in addition to shoes and a number of accessories, making it the Virgil Abloh-led fashion house's biggest collaboration to date. The full range of products will be available for purchase on the menswear E-commerce platform on January 21.
The collaboration is a strategic one for Mr Porter, which is known for providing a luxurious shopping experience. According to the online platform's buying director, the collaboration with Abloh's Off-White is to appeal to millennial consumers — those born between the years 1983 and 2000 boast one of the highest spending powers compared to previous generations.
Virgil Abloh's list of designer collaborations is endless. The newly-minted artistic director of Louis Vuitton's menswear has previously teamed up with the likes of Nike, Levi's, Sunglasses Hut, and even Ikea. "I dispel the sort of idea that there is a perfect amount [of collaborations] or restraint is the best way forward," said Abloh in conversation with Business of Fashion. "The amount of collaborations should near the amount of relationships that I have with either brands or people," he stated about choosing his partnerships.

MinyakWTIBrentMinyak MentahOil,
Oil futures declined on Wednesday, settling at their lowest in about a week, as a report that President Donald Trump is considering easing sanctions on Iran raised the possibility of the return of the country's crude to the world market.
Trump discussed easing sanctions on Iran in a move to secure a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani later this month, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The move comes a day after Trump announced that U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, who had argued to push Iranian oil exports to zero, stepped down.
A weaker demand outlook from OPEC on Wednesday also fed the price decline, despite U.S. government data showing a fourth straight weekly fall in domestic crude supplies.
West Texas Intermediate crude for October delivery fell $1.65, or 2.9%, to settle at $55.75 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange—the lowest for a front-month contract since Sept. 3, according to Dow Jones Market Data. November Brent crude lost $1.57, or 2.5%, to $60.81 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe, the lowest finish since Sept. 4.
