St. Patrick's Day and being Irish

 I am not sure what is the "celebration" of this day but it is reserved for  being Irish and wearing green something a shirt or a tie or jacket etc
 "Irish" brings to my mind, Booze.
 On a Christmas celebration in the hospital, long time ago I also joined the dinner and dance party. Was sitting in a corner when an Irish patient of mine asked me while dancing.
"Doctor, come on join the dance"
 "I do not dance". He stopped and sat down with me on the table asked to join with him in bear.
"I dont drink", I said.
 He came out with his packet of cigarettes and offered me one.
 "I do not smoke"
 He was dumb-founded. "Doctor, what do you do to enjoy?"
Chuckle.

Killing Minorities

 I remember hoisting the Pakistani Flag that I had so carefully sewed up myself just before 15th of August 1947 and in a samll gathering of the local Muslims of Kotla my father, retired Congressman turned Pakistani addressed the group of those villagers, thus:
 We are free today the English Raj is over and the government is in the hands of Muslims. That places a great responsibility in on all Muslims living in Pakistan to ensure safety of all Hindus and Sikhs and Christians."
 Not a single nonMuslim leaving the village was injured and we had a couple of Sikh families and a Christian.
 It pains me to hear that as radicalization has gotten worse any personal grudge leads to labeling a Christian insulting Islam and the mob, as if just waiting to get the opportunity lets out the rage against not one person but the whole community.
 They are making a mockery of the law in the first place and secondly they are all including the Government fellows punishable by Allah for the injustice. Recent rage against the community in Lahore is known to be wrong and yet nobody dare say anything against it. They killed Tasir because he wanted to change the situation and I still see the banners of Hero who killed him
 Only Allah can save this country because I see signs of Azab. Every Zaid Umar and Bakar is a knowledgeable Muslim enough to throw out a fatwa of Kufr on anybody and kill.
 Where is Doctor Allama Qadri Saheb?
