Imran Khan, a failed politician in Pakistan was in Houston recently. While there, his tone was totally different from what people hear him in Pakistan. When he speaks in Pakistan, he rails against the great Satan, America (according to him), but he selects his words carefully when he is in the States. Double standard? Yes, sure. Bigotry and hypocrisy? Of course!
It never amazes me to see absolutely strange and bizarre things in Pakistan, especially in Politics. But what I don’t understand is that how can anyone spew hate against a country day and night and when he gets an invitation, he gets on the first flight to be in the United States.
Actually, he is not the only one who blames America for everything bad in Pakistan, but the difference between rest of the folks and Imran is that Imran has been around the world, has studied in England, has lived in England and he should know better. But, for some reason, he refuses to be honest and realistic and continues to be vitriolic.
Not sure why was Imran invited to the States and more importantly, I am surprised that despite being a hate monger, Imran is granted the U.S. visa and he is allowed to enter the country again and again. I wish someone in Islamabad embassy or in Washington would have the guts to tell Imran to says thanks, but no thanks!

The impact of these efforts have been compounded by the steady stream […]
In mid-May the Irish political party, Sinn Féin, won the plurality of seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly. Many American readers might not fully understand the significance of Sinn Féin’s political victory- but rest assured that subjects of the United Kingdom and a wide range of political movements the world over have heard the message […]
The first wave of the Russian offensive in Ukraine has fallen short of Russian autocrat Vladmir Putin’s ambitions. Most analysts deduced that Putin had hoped to achieve a decapitation strike of the Ukrainian government- taking Kiev and replacing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zolinski with a pro-Kremlin voice. Kiev has been threatened repeatedly through the course of […]
On the weekend of March 26th, the notorious MS-13 gang went on a massive killing spree in El Salvador which left more than 70 people dead by Sunday. Even for a country where powerful gangs hold massive sway, this recent tragedy stands out considering that it was the bloodiest day on record since the civil […]
