Why we make our heroes controversial?

[Sana Jabeen]

I was participating in one of the discussion in one of the forums when suddenly a person started a thread that M.M Alam has passed away. For those who don’t know who M.M Alam is, he is a retired Pakistani fighter pilot and one of the best Pakistan Air Force has ever seen. He is a real living hero but for now he is old and not keeping good health.

Coming back to the discussion, a person started the thread that M.M Alam has passed away and next post on it was that “He is a Qadyani” For a moment I thought that this is the reason we don’t have heroes in Pakistan. We like to label our heroes and make them controversial. We as a nation are becoming pathetic. Refer to my article “Are we really a nation” by clicking Here.

We need heroes because they are the ones who define the limits for our aspirations. They are the ones who motivate us to achieve big in life. But sadly we as a nation never regard our heroes. We are the ones who even enjoy making personalities like Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal controversial.

Just pause for a moment and think who your hero is? I am sure most of you will come up with answers like “Shahrukh Khan”, “Brad Pitt”, “Roger Federer”, “Messi”, “Enrique” and this list will go on. Are they the ones who aspire us? Are they the ones who motivate us? I mean, where are we heading?

The biggest role in making these people our heroes instead of making the real heroes is our media. They always portray Shahrukh Khan and Brad Pitt and Batman as our heroes. I am talking about the Pakistani media. But there are many things that they don’t show you. Refer to the article “The Pakistan you don’t see in the news” by clicking Here to see the real Pakistan.

We still have many people who are our heroes but our media never give them air time. Our media is so pathetic that they will spend hours and hours of coverage on death of Yash Chopra but they don’t bother to give 15 minutes of air time to M.M Alam who is currently admitted in hospital. They will never bother to tell our youth about his achievements.

I will conclude my post by saying that don’t make our heroes controversial. Try to respect the people who have offered their services to our country, who have done good things for us, or the day will not be very far when every brilliant brain of Pakistan will move to some other country.

I don't know the intentions but The comment is NOT very uncalled for

If he is a Qadyani --- then he is NOT a Muslim --- Probably a caution that We Muslims should not pray for him. A Muslim is forbidden to pray for non-belivers, proven from Hadith and many stories are related to this in Quran as well. Even Prophet Muahmmad (SAW) was stopped to pray for his beloved uncle abu talib by Allah subhan e tallah.


I don't know the truth about his religion. If He is Qadyani -- then I pray for him to revert to Islam before death.


Anyway, he is Pakistani and we salute his services for his country and wish him speedy recovery to live long and die as a Muslim.

is Brad Pitt a muslim? I am not talking about religion here. i am just saying we dont respect our heroes

 

[siasipakistani]

MM ALAM is not a qadyani. I have personally met him and was a student of him and his sister. MM Alam was Sunni Muslim and was also an active member of Jamat-e-Islami

 

[Sana Jabeen]

regardless of what his sect was, he is our hero, we must appreciate his services

You are presenting a false argument. Don't go off topic here--- you started the debate with giving example of religion. Better off if you started a post without mentioning of religion.

I agree that we don't respect our REAL heroes, having said that --- Where did someone showed disrespect to Mr M.M. Aaalm. Do mere mentioning of religion equivalent to disrespect?

Your whole argument is, since he mentioned his religion, again I'm not endorsing it --- He or We showed disrespect.

I believe if anyone is Qadyani and we do mention in articles that He is qadyani --- at least that person will feel proud --- every person feel proud about his religion, that's why He/She in that religion.

Musharraf said in a video interview that MM Alam was a taliban recruiter and a very hardlining person who supported TTP's agenda and terrorist activities against Pak Army and State.

I also think he was very devout muslim too. He always had a counter (tas'beeh) in his hands too.

I was going to say the same. thanks for pointing out.

M.M.Alim was unfortunately a Qadiani, else was a great Pakistani. So I wonder, if he stills comes in the count of our hero? else RIP Alim .

I think, this guy who raised this issue to turn an air wolf into a conversary, is really a pathetic one. Infact our nation is not even a nation. We can be regarded quite realistically in Urdu 'SHUTTER BEY MUHAAR'. Every one thinks himself a final decision making authority by quoting references from the holy book. This results into a brownian motion of the society, where everybody is direction less. Hence we lost our heroes and that is also the reason the new heroes are on shortage.

If you watch Masti Gate, Naseem Vicky gave an intro by mentioning a few heroes of our society.
There is big list of heroes of our nation. Alas, they have been ignored badly because this type of behaviour.

Also I think, Hero is a personality who lives in the beats of your hearts without the regard of his field of specialisation whether it is military, sports, film industry, politics, science and religion. Hero is always a hero, you cannot undermine him by such cruel thoughts.

Dude, I can't give you the link exactly, but let me assure you I heard him say that in not less than 10 days ago from today in one of talk shows where he was talking about Kargil issue. The conversation went on and he said that MM Alam worked to recruit hardliners into TTP and had a role in Swat agenda.

Go to ***** or zahicorner or sites like that and see his interviews between 1st Feb and 5th Feb. Its in one of those. If you're really stuck then come back and message me and I'll try to find it again.

Its no rumour mill. I'm here and not going anywhere. You'll find it very easily.

By the way, I am really sick and tired of this religious extremist nonsense. We OWE a part of credit the effort of getting Azad Kashmir in 1948 to Qadiyanis.

When India moved forces into Jammu & Kashmir and British Commander of Pakistani Army refused to move the Pakistani side of forces, stating that he didn't want to be involved in the conflict, then it it were only Army Officers who became part of Pakistani Army, tribal militants and QADIYANIS who went in and fought the war of 1947-48.

Mirza Ahmed upon request of Jinnah sent his own fighters, who were funded by the Qadiyani community to go and fight for us Pakistanis and get Azad Kashmir along with other fighters.

They went under the name Furqan Force and under the black Qadiyani flag Liwa-e-Ahmadiyya.

For god sake, lets cut this nonsense name calling of kafir and momin and muslim and non-muslim and be thankful to people whoever they are.

What a joke of racist intolerant idiots we have become as a people!
