Praise Allah. Someone with a sense of the absurd; ironic.You officially win for best quote of the evening! This former New Yorker is laughing quite loudly. I've not been to Pakistan, but if that is anything like India that's even funnier. :)
Pakistan is exactly like India -- except for fewer Hindus and others. But people still poop in the streets and there is plenty of filth. There are buffalo and goats and whatnot on the streets. There are no traffic laws. Bribery is the best way to get anything accomplished. Americanized Paks get sick when they go back home. Despite Islam, there is still a tribal/caste system.
And it is a Bollywood thing.

PS -- I do love New York City. Friendliest people in the world. All nuts but that's cool -- kind of. A New Yorker can steal my luggage anytime. In fact, if I ever get there again, I am just going to put my bags out on Times Square so they can have at it. A kind of care package. I will fill it with gauzy underwear and silky dresses and expensive hosiery. New Yorkers love that stuff. I will enclose a card -- Love, Faizi.
I reckon they will think it is a suicide bomber kit. Woo hoo.
Like a bomb would put off a New Yorker in search of expensive, gauzy underwear.
I figure by now the Puerto Ricans must have bomb sniffing dogs and electronic devices that defuse bombs in suitcases. I have great respect for Puerto Ricans. Most noble and intelligent people in the world.
It is a great pity that more Puerto Rican Americans don't run for public office in the US. Think a Puerto Rican el presidente would allow Ossama to live in wild Pakistan?
I don't think so. Dude would have been dead long ago. Bush, being a patrician white, whimped out and went to Iraq. He figured no one would know the difference and for a long time he was right. No one did.
Now, the vast majority of Americans figure all Muslims are evil. A Muslim American could wrap himself in the American flag and roll down Wall Street and he would still be considered evil.
Whole thing makes me sick.
