		<description>The following comments must be read along with my previous comments dated June 20th, 2009 on the present topic.

It is very very embarrassing that the English authors are totally the opposite of the Urdu writers. This practice is generating a lot of dangerous confusion among the the readers with regard to the common issues of national concern.
The code of ethics must be made applicable to both English as well as Urdu authors. These people have a great deal of responsibility for the formation of the true mind-set of the public.
The people should be guided appropriately towards the information. The writers, regardless of whatever language, are deemed the character-builders. Therefore, they must be dedicated enough to spread nothing but the truth.
Be it print media or electronic media, it should motivate the people to learn and practice only a positive attitude. 
Hosting talk shows or printing newspapers should have only one common goal, which is imparting proper information and relevant knowledge.
Therefore, the best answer is that the authors should come closer to each other and stand united on one platform to address all national issues with ‘independent’ and ‘unbiased’ views.
An unbreakable unity is the key.</description>

		<description>it was an enlightening article but i dont agree with the bashing of the modern islamic scholars...i mean they are doing a pretty decent work themselves...probably the way it should be done....the author imo is biased towards religion...yes i agree that our history might have been twisted to portray a better picture of ourselves and that there is a ... Read Morerise of baseless conspiracy theories... but branding everything associated with religion and its interpretation a misconcept is not correct...i dont know why he mixed zakir naik with the likes of amir liaquat and zaid hamid...zakir naik IMO is doing an amazing job of spreading the msg of our religion and i never seem to find any of his discussion n arguments as meaningless....when the author said that it was confirmed that he was biased...however i do agree with the dual-faced role of the media</description>

		<description>Another masterpiece from NFP.  Only he can come up with something like this.  I don&#039;t understand why you don&#039;t have any TV show of ur own?? And secondly every Pakistani has the duty to keep check and balance on all these TV anchors.  So please write to them if they are saying or broadcasting something which is not correct, ethically morally or otherwise.

I am proud of you being such a vibrant Pakistani.</description>

		<description>Very good article by NFP. Truth always bites, but those who realize it and act accordingly, make their history successful and glorious. Good to see that most Pakistanis on this forum are realizing how dangerous are the consequences of studying distorted history.

Earlier the access to knowledge was difficult (through libraries only), but now the truth can be verified on various authenticated internet sites and other sources. When you don&#039;t know the truth, all your actions and ideology towards your neighbours or adversaries (in this case India) are based on what you have been taught. Results can be seen everywhere. But the good thing is Pakistan is moving in right direction.</description>

		<description>Very informative, well argued piece of writing. Pakistan needs more people with understanding and less people with intolerance, more pens and less guns. 

My own experience has been that at the receiving end of the hogwash that was taught  as history. Much later i realized that i had been dealt a raw deal, and it took a much greater effort to break the conspiracy theory mindset that most Pakistani&#039;s live in today. 

My only advice is to educate yourselves as much as you can, as alternative viewpoints are the only way to achieve understanding in this day and age of confusion and anarchy.</description>

		<description>Thanks for posting a timely and thoughtful article. We have a responsibility to our past, present and future generations - to provide them with education that reflects the multi-cultural nature of the world around us and not a bunch of half cooked ideas catering to narrow religious/political agendas. Only then can Pakistanis join the other people of the world on an equal footing.</description>

		<description>Respected Paracha, opinion on a specific issue would be differ among common people; is quite obvious! but, as you mentioned, such a responsible individual belonging  from electronic and print media is going to cheat with himself as well as people of global village is unacceptable all the way! specially in live talk shows, it is difficul to hide any thing from viewers; one should be carefull and calculated about what he/she is going to proclaims! To avoid such bluner mistakes, If its possible, Anchor can provide questions in advance to a host for prepration and find facts to support his views.  Any way while talikg about such a burning issue one should keep the sensitivenees of the topic rather create confusion among layman. Thanks for providing such opportunity! Thanks once again!</description>
