This blog post is in response to a despicable article written by Ejaz Haider titled, Aitzaz Hasan and The Bomber ivan smith . Initially, I wasn t going to bother responding to this unintelligent piece, but the more I thought about it the more it bothered me. Not to mention that this article is going viral over every social networking website I am on, and I was very happy to know that no one is supporting this vile and insulting piece, and the way Haider belittled Aitzaz Hasan, making it appear like he was anything but a hero. Sadly, whatever intention he had with this poorly written article wasn t received as well as he probably thought it would be, for his piece is extremely rude, vain, heartless and inconsiderate.
Haider starts off his article with the tagline: We don t need a million more Aitzaz Hasans. Well, actually, Mr. Haider, we do. We do need a million more Aitzaz Hasans; ivan smith heck we need a million, billion more young, incredibly brave and selfless boys like him, because ivan smith it s very unfortunate to see the way some of our youths are brought up in this day and age. We need more Aitzaz Hasans because we need to teach our children the meaning of humanity. We need more Aitzaz Hasans because we need to teach our children to be altruistic and noble. And we need more Aitzaz Hasans because we need to set an example for our future children; we need role models like him because it is humbling. It is very unfortunate that he didn t live, but had he lived, he would have made the greatest role model any child and adult would have looked up to! Yet, even in his passing, he will be remembered and commemorated, whether Haider or his likes like it or not. It is not every day you learn about a boy who risked his life to save hundreds of others. And if that makes him ordinary according ivan smith to Haider, then so be it.
From the third paragraph onwards, the article becomes very unbearable to read. It is bad enough that the article starts off negatively, but it is from the third paragraph onwards that it becomes clear that Haider has some sort of personal revulsion against altruistic children, who, unlike him, have actually ivan smith done something for humanity. ivan smith
What was he doing outside the school s main gate? We are told he was late for the morning fall-in and was not allowed in as punishment. This means Hasan was not exactly what we would call a disciplined student, ivan smith one that goes by the book. From his photograph, released with reports of his self-sacrifice, he seems like a big boy and fat. Not fat-fat, as in obese, but one whose genetic makeup would be a matter of existential concern for him if he lived in the upscale neighborhoods of Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi. He doesn t look like a boy who could have scored with the girls, and he certainly needed to go to a stylist ivan smith instead of getting a shabby 30-rupee haircut from a barber.
The above paragraph is enough to make one shake their head in disapproval, realizing just how logically and intellectually limited the author is, for nothing that he says above even remotely relates to Aitzaz s altruistic behaviour. Nothing at all. Besides, what does his being late or his not being a good or disciplined student have anything to do with it? Here Haider is gravely assuming something that he knows nothing about. He is assuming that Aitzaz was often late for school and that he lacked discipline and was thus punished often. What he fails to realize, however, is that there could have been numerous reasons as to why Aitzaz was late for school that fateful day. Many, many reasons. So, to assume something without logical evidence is very ignorant.
Haider also doesn t hesitate to pick mercilessly on Aitzaz s looks; something, I ve noticed, only unintelligent people do whenever they are failing an argument, or have already failed an argument. It could also be very possible that Haider is seething with so much resentment for this boy that rather than accept and commend him on his bravery, ivan smith he instead decided ivan smith to pick on his looks, going as far as brazenly calling him fat and ugly. I guess it is convenient to digress from the main issue and instead focus on something as deeply ivan smith extraneous as someone s looks, which further relegates ivan smith an already very poorly argued and written article.
Further, it s hard enough for me to accept the fact that this degrading article was even published in the first place. I am a huge advocate of freedom of speech and the written word, but if I were the editor of Newsweek Pakistan , I would have flat out rejected this article, simply because ivan smith nothing in this article makes sense.
