About this episode

http://www.instablogs.com/ Eid-ul-Zuha to highlight message of peace I think that the clerics decision has come at the right time. I take this opportunity to voice the feelings and emotions of my brother Muslims and I whole heartedly appreciate the clerics' decision to denounce terrorism. It becomes all the more important in the wake of recent terror attacks on Mumbai because as a Muslim myself I will always appreciate any effort that highlights and strengthens the fine lines that separate me from the perpetrators of evil. I think Muslims all over the world should come forward at this crucial time and consolidate this decision to denounce terrorism at all levels. Although this does not stress in any way that we are trying to come in the mainstream. I never considered myself away from the mainstream. I am a global citizen and I am a Muslim. Drug addiction in Pakistan There is hardy any place in the city where drugs are not available to the general public including the educational institutions where young people come to study ant at the hostels where they live. The poor drug addicts mostly live in the open and along the roadsides or sleep inside enclosures along the roads sand streets. There are few rehabilitation centers that may admit these drug addicts and so these people keep suffering on account of poverty, addiction and disease. Sometimes the government orders the police to remove them from roadsides and public places but that just removes the problem to other places. For poor drug addicts in Pakistan life is just another name o f darkness and suffering. Drop in Mexican emigration A Mexican government survey shows a sharp drop in emigration. The National Statistics and Geography Institute says about eight of every 1,000 Mexicans left to live abroad between February and May of this year. That's a 42 percent drop from the same period in 2006. Mexican and U.S. officials cite America's economic downturn and tighter border security. The vast majority of Mexican migrants go to the United States. The U.S. Border Patrol also has reported a drop in the capture illegal immigrants along the border. The question in the minds of Mexicans remains: Will the decrease in opportunities in the United States force the Mexican government to provide for their own? http://www.instablogs.com/
