No votes for Ahmadiyya Muslims


19/ 2/2008

I write in relation to the elections which took place in Pakistan yesterday.  Senior members of the Pakistani Government claimed they were conducted freely and fairly but in fact this is a myth. The reality is that they failed to disclose that not everyone in Pakistan had the right to vote.

   Shamas wrongly assumes the writer is from Pakistan when he say he should "Go back home" when in fact the writer is most likely to be born and brought up in the UK.

Notwithstanding this, why should the writer not point out an injustice, wherever it takes place in the world? Calls for justice are not the preserve of those who inhabit the country in which it is taking place. Shamas would surely not argue that those around the world who argued South African apartheid was abhorrent during the apartheid regime there were wrong to do so. In fact, it was such calls by Governments and individuals around the world which, together with the struggle of those being oppressed in South Africa, helped to bring about the eventual change in that evil regime.

   People should NOT sit in this counrty and beat the drums. If they want something done they ought to GO back home and play their part in the country's affairs and change things within. It's very easy to sit thousands of miles away and claim foul play.
