lol..why is it such a surprise...there r lots n lots of normal muslims in pakistan...the extremists r a minority...albiet a destructive and a very vocal minority...
growing up....we'd plan our driving routes according to who ws rioting/protesting (read whining) where....
ever notice that most extremist terrorist muslims r ugly....
i'd be pissedf off also if i ws born looking like that :-\

Interesting life! You seem to be living like a normal guy though, working for someone everyday, etc...
Why not buy up some assets, maybe start a business or two? ??? Your family has the money right?

Good, I like the kind of people that tie their money up in assets, and don't burn through it like the trash that always win the lottery... :)
You're good people as far as I'm concerned!

Sorry for all the Q's Toxic, but one other thing.... How far back can you trace your family tree? Also, how did they get started building their wealth? ???

its not new money mate...it ws my grand uncle and great grandfather that made it doing biz with the english (pre indo pak partition)
and invested right....its gonna stay in the family for generations...

There is an unrelated question that I want to ask, but I don't know how....
I have relatives on one side of my family that made a great amount of money, and taught their kids well (my great grandparents/grandparents/great uncles/parent etc...) On the other side though, nothing to impressive to talk about. My question is, why do some people do well and some don't? Is it genetics? Did they just come from a long long line of smart people since Adam and Eve? ???
