KARACHI – Hundreds of school children have turned out to protest the decision by United Nations to ban a charity accused by India over the Mumbai attacks.
Outside the Karachi Press Club, students of Jama’at-ud-Dawa run schools in the city of Karachi complained that Jama’at-ud-Dawa was not a terrorist organisation and should not be banned.
“Thousands of children all over the country have been affected by this unjust ban”, said one of the teachers. “This is a total farce, we are not terrorists.”
The children carried placards and posters demanding the government overturn the ban.
“We just want to go back to school. We’re very scared. Education is our right – don’t take it away from us. Don’t destroy our future”, read some of the placards.
A majority of the approximately 25,000 children studying in Jama’at-ud-Dawa’s schools come from extremely poor families or are orphans, and would’nt otherwise have been able to get an education. Jama’at-ud-Dawa provides free education to these children.
The schools are of a much higher standard than those run by the Pakistan government, and subjects include English and modern Sciences. Most of Jama’at-ud-Dawa’s schools have fully furnished science and computer labs and facilities comparable to any good school in Pakistan. The basic curriculum taught is the same as schools all over Pakistan.
Since the ban has come into effect, teachers and students of the school have complained of harassment from the police, leading to a lot of parents not sending their children to school out of fear. A number of schools have been sealed shut, while others have no option but to remain closed as parents are hesitant in sending their children to school, and perhaps justifiably.
Education is the transmission of civilization. Its a real shame that the Pakistani government has taken these measures against Jama’at-ud-Dawa when there’s never been any proof of their involvement in any illegal activity in and outside Pakistan. Ultimately, its the children that will suffer as in the case of most of them, their families cannot afford to educate them. Jama’at-ud-Dawa had been doing it for free.

Keep Walking…..
Jus
to check this out……The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot.
Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.
It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.
God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.
So, keep walking…
PRESSURE CAN BE USEFUL TO RELEIVE STRESS

REAL FACE OF DENMARK
November 22, 2009A country supposedly ‘civilized’ and a EUROPEAN UNION country. For many people this cruel practice is unknown… See how insensitive an inhuman the Danes are!!
This bloody slaughter is just to attend ‘Moz’ to ’show’ entering into adulthood!
It’s absolutely incredible that nobody dares to do something to prevent this barbarism that is committed against Calderon, an intelligent dolphin that has the peculiarity of approaching people out of sheer curiosity.
In Pictures: This is why Iran cannot be defeated
November 22, 2009A tale of an Iftaar Dinner.. In Pictures.
Compare Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, The President of Iran, with any leader of Islamic or non Islamic countries. Compare his simplicity and love for his country with the politicians of Pakistani politics (dont even consider the ministers or any top leadership! Only such determined and selfless leadership can save Pakistan.
This is why Iran cannot be defeated by any Zionist conspiracy!
