Hi again,
Fraz you said that Dr. aamir "may be a little annoying and show off but overall seems to be doing a good and informative show on TV"
I agree with you on that. I too think that he is doing a good job & that such programs should be encouraged. I also said in the last post that, I dont want Dr. aamir to end his show or stop his livelihood or nethg. Just to change a bit.......When a critic reviews a movie, he tries to present u both the good & the bad aspects. Since, Dr. aamirs good aspects have already been elaborated on the forum, I just wanted to highlight a few shortcomings...The first message in this discussion pointed out that Dr. Aamir has been apointed as the minister for religious affairs & that I'll be closely watching that.Then someone said, Dr. aamir wont make any difference. I agree with that someone coz...I think he is just like any other political leader or "political-molvi".
If the MMA mullas exploited simple & poor people to win NWFP elections using the anti US / Afghan car....Dr. aamir has also used the "modernzation" & "moderatism" cards to win the hearts of our President & the middle-class...If the MMA mullas posses the power to exploit or mobolize the illiterate pathans of NWFP, Dr. aamir surely posses the same power to exploit or mobolize the so-called "educated" middle-class youth of Karachi. Take a stock of the feelings some people have on this forum about Dr. aamir. I wont be surprised if these people came on streets on the request of Dr. aamir ! That is potential exploitation of the masses I m afraid of....apart from the financial & political exploitation...which Dr. aamir is already doing.
Take Care,
AvgJoe
