A Thorn Of A Rose; Murree Brewery

A rose is probably the most beautiful flower in the world, but with it's immense beauty comes thorns; which restricts the rose's popularity and makes it a bit unfavorable. In this case the rose is Pakistan while the thorn is Murree Brewery. Created in 1860 Murree Brewery is the maker of Pakistan's premier beer brand, Murree Beer [alcohol; sharab]. Murree Brewery also exports to the Middle East and many European countries, where it is available in Indian and Pakistani restaurants. The brewery has two manufacturing units located in Rawalpindi [Punjab] and Hattar [NWFP]. This is quite sad news as Pakistan is a Muslim country and alcohol is forbidden in Islam. Although Murree Brewery sells non-alcoholic beer, it's main source of income in Pakistan comes from alcoholic beer. The only problem i have with this is that NOTHING GOOD HAS EVER CAME FROM ALCOHOL. I mean there is no problem with exporting it to other countries [except the middle-east where there is a muslim majority], but giving your country such a product is just disgusting. Today, all Murree Brewery products are readily available in legal liquor shops that operate openly in Karachi in places like Zamzama and Defence. It is also available in the interior of Sindh. Although the consumption of alcohol in public is still nominally banned, it is becoming increasingly available in clubs and high-class restaurants. This is nothing but a set-back for Pakistan that some people choose ruin the lives of their people by providing them something haram and dangerous just to make some money. All i have to say to them is: "Is money going to pardon you from God's justice? I think not...."

The Israeli Holocaust

Ok, this post doesn't have much to do with Pakistan but it is so intense and saddening that i had to share it. Last year over 1,300+ Palestinians were butchered by the hands of Israeli forces. What is more saddening is that all the world did was watch, even all those middle-eastern countries that swore Palestinians arabs as their brothers. There were protests in Pakistan and Iran and other parts of the world but the middle east and the world stood silent. The only nation to do anything was surprisingly: Venezuela. Seeing Israel trying to clean out the Palestinian race Venezuela expelled it's Israeli ambassador and cutted of all it's ties with Israel. It's pretty sad that the Arab nations in the middle-east with all the money and oil in the world stood quiet and a country that has barely anything to do with Islam or Muslims made a stand. Hitler once said "I could have annihilated all the Jews in the world,but i left some of them so you will know why i was killing them". Sounds racist and bad cause there are good Jews, but was he wrong? The Jewish nation is doing exactly what hitler was doing to them just 50 years back. Here are a few pics from last year's holocaust, I don't cry much but these pics made me cry. Leave comments as i want to see your reactions towards this. [CLICK 2 ENLARGE THE PICS]
