Benazir Bhutto's Death: Great Loss for the Moslem Nation

The Loss of Benazir Bhutto
Of all the great leaders that this region occupied by this aptly called "Middle Nation of Islam" has known, none has so touched this observer in so many ways as the late Benazir Bhutto, the two-time (and sure to have been three times) former Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This observer could not hold back the tears in recalling the ugly fate that this remarkable woman of politics and public service was accorded by the hostile forces that have rendered everything beautiful and useful in this world ugly and horrendously cruel. What madness has this world come to, when this blossom of freedom and true defender of all the philanthropy and good governance that Islam truly stood, would be rewarded with vindictive slaughter – a glorious genuine martyrdom? Have people lost all sense of values to allow themselves to be used as pawns to eradicate all that the good of human conscience stood for?
Who was Benazir Bhutto? She was that formidable women who told the world that Islam was far more modern than these backward morons of extreme dogmatism wished to believe. She told the world (with credit equally shared by the truly faithful people of Pakistan) that in Islam there is no gender problem, because like all women of the world, Moslem women can indeed reach for the zenith of intellect and power and come out with a clean public office record of great distinction and achievement. Throughout the period that she managed to hold the reins of power in Pakistan her performance outmatched any of the masculine PMs that preceded her and followed her. Just to give one example of her genuine good intents for her people, she managed to have 7000 schools a year built for the children of Pakistan, just so the children of Pakistan will not have to turn to those educational bastions of extremism, the Wahhabi Madrasas, that eventually were introduced in Pakistan, out of which came the Taliban and all the other contractors of death , of which the Moslem World craves to be relieved, by the will of the Lord Al-Mighty and the efforts of all decent peace loving people of the Moslem World. May God bless her, for she will always be a beacon of light and inspiration for all people of moderation and good sense.
