What we can do?

The recent development in the political situation in Pakistan has forced the whole world to take notice. Now when the eyes of the world are on us, we are painting such an ugly picture of not only Pakistan but also Islam itself.

Being the only nation created in the name of Islam and for Muslims, Pakistan should have been a role model for the entire Muslim Ummah. On the contrary, we were labelled as "most corrupt", "terror central", "uncivilized" etc, during the last 60 years of our existence. The sad part is, its all not only true but we are not done yet, and continue to make a fool of ourselves in front of the entire world.

The big question is, what can we do about it? There is no simple or single answer to this question. Everyone will have a different outlook on how to deal with all this negativity and to help Pakistan stand on its feet from its knees. Nevertheless I strongly believe that the root of all the problems faced by Pakistan is lack of education and we cannot get better without educating our people.

In the end, I must say that the Pen is mightier than the Sword and instead of protesting like mindless Zombies (destroying public property in the name democracy) we should concentrate more on educating people and enabling them to think on their own.
