The undead

Whilst there are pockets of people within Pakistan who still posses some bit of Islamic morality, for the most part our masses are mostly zombies that neither live nor die. These are the people President of Pakistan refers to when he boastfully says that if the PPP is bad, why are our candidates still winning the by-elections? As Sheikh Rashid bluntly put it on TV recently, most people in Pakistan nowadays vote for someone making a lot of haram money thinking it is ok as long as he passes on some of that money downstream to them. -LIAQAT ALI, Lahore, May 19.
