(via um-er) Absolutely love Nadeem Paracha’s photoblog “Also Pakistan” on DAWN’s website today.

It all went wrong when we started SELLING Islam instead of practicing it.

The survey quantifies various aspects of brilliance and intellectual work in the nations of the surveyed countries. “Pakistanis outshine in the field of intelligence despite a dearth of required resources and opportunities,” the poll inferred.
