The topic on al Jazeera's The Stream yesterday was extremism in Pakistan. I was on for the show, alongside a representative of Khudi, a "counter-extremism social movement promoting a democratic culture in Pakistan."
Here's how I framed the conversation: Is the solution to Pakistan's woes found in a different kind of Islam, or is radicalism itself symptomatic of deeper problems? To what extent can a think tank with roots in the West solve Pakistan's problems?
Check it out; the version below is the extended version, including content that didn't appear in the broadcast version. It was a great conversation--I only wish we had more time to really get into some thick topics.
Pakistan rarely gets the attention it deserves, so I'm glad al Jazeera devoted a whole show to where Pakistan is going and what role Pakistanis might play in that.
Pakistan is a fucking cesspool of terrorism and it's built into the fabric of its society since the partition (which I totally support, btw. Thanks for fucking off!).
Oh, and God is not great! Fuck you!

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

Secretly sad, as immediate action.

I know admitted that part of getting over his first love meant realizing that he'd been "in love with the story"—the two of them met in the desert in Israel— I immediately recognized my own experience.
