<b>Nakal khors at Punjab University</b>

<b>Nawaz Sharif has got the key</b>
A famous columnist wrote in daily Nawa-e-Waqt, that Benazir Bhutto has cleverly made herself a popular leader in Pakistan. But, if both Nawaz Sharif and Benazir are allowed to come back to Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif will attract a much bigger crowd than Benazir. Nawaz is no angel however, and he is obsessed with acquiring all powers for himself. He tried to impose his brother on Punjab and had no respect for the free press and the judiciary. But there is no doubt that in his cultural and social behaviour, he is much closer to the majority of Pakistanis.
<b>Who is Khalid Khawaja?</b>

<b>A boy with a tail in Mahabharat</b> they don't know difference between Ramayan and MahabharatAs reported in daily Khabrain, in an Indian city, Bhatinda, a boy was born with an ugly growth similar to a tail in a hospital where a superstitious pundit declared him as an avatar of Hanuman.

<b>Atlas Of Creation proves Darwin wrong</b>
As reported in daily Nawa-e-waqt, a Turkish preacher, Adnan Auktar, alleged that with the help of the skeleton and pictures and quotes from the Holy Quran, the theory of Charles Darwin can be proved wrong.

His book is also translated into the Arabic and Malaysian languages. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<b>Mercenaries and jihad soldiers</b>
In daily Express, famous columnist Abdul Qadir Hassan wrote that enlightened moderation was formulated by an American Jew Henry Kissinger and has become the slogan of our government. Henry Kissinger studied the culture and religion of Islam and created this beautiful slogan to counter the challenge of Islam. Enlightened moderation attacks the Islamic commandment of jihad that is linked with extremism and terrorism. If a Muslim doesnât have passion for jihad then he is a mercenary who like the Muslim soldiers of the British era fought at different fronts in Burma and other places.
