 Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) President Qazi Hussain Ahmed said on Thursday that the nation condemned Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuriâs meeting with his Israeli counterpart Silvan Shalom in Istanbul.
| My guess is that the nation's yawning and wondering what's on the teevee, but I could be wrong... |
âGovernment overtures towards Israel is against Pakistanâs ideology,â he said, adding that parliament had not been consulted about Kasuriâs meeting with Shalom and that no prior announcement about the meeting had been made at any forum.
| Perhaps they wanted it to be a surprise. More likely, they figured springing it without warning would cause Qazi to come down with apoplexy, thereby killing two birds with one stone. |
Kasuriâs meeting with Shalom was against the peopleâs aspirations, Qazi said. âWe have a grudge against Israel because it occupies sacred sites belonging to Muslims and people talking about recognising Israel are unaware of the essence of Islam,â he said, adding that Pakistan should not withdraw from its principled stand regarding the Jewish state.
| The essence of Islam appears to involve a continuous round of bitching and moaning, machinations, conspiracies, bald-faced lying, cruelties on both the personal and the national scale, denouncing large numbers of people as apostates, and periodic gunfire. I'm wondering why the Israelis wanted to talk to the Paks. |
