He will be remain part of our lives, till our death. We are not mentally disturbed but our soul is injured, no one can console us.

As I look back at my own personal recollection, it all starts from an ethnic smirk, remark, slight and then gathers speed to murder or genocide, specially in our lands; time is running out on our beloved land Pakistan, if we don't take bull by the horn.<br />Shujaat<br />75-80<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544734292963193083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320628892565328183.post-34243885473675950572014-05-13T12:45:51.623-07:002014-05-13T12:45:51.623-07:00I attended his funeral today,dr babar ali son is c...I attended his funeral today,dr babar ali son is close friend of ours and is pursuing dentistry,it hurts to see him go through all this pain,to lose people dear to you in such a short interval breaks you up.i just hope he gets the courage to stand against all the injustice,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067208665557158091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320628892565328183.post-82846213997384120662014-05-13T10:24:58.919-07:002014-05-13T10:24:58.919-07:00R.I.P

The big-heartedness that he displayed to all Abdalians is a sign of the kind of a man he was. Kind, caring and extremely generous. The fortress of Islam that we have become is a disgusting and dispiriting reflection of us. This country and society is in a terminal decline and its good men are bidding adieu sooner than they should. Rest in peace Mr. Faisal Manzoor. May your family remain safe and be blessed with the courage to bear this irreparable loss. <br />Omair HasanOmair Hasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221336918944038854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320628892565328183.post-22488280227712198022014-05-13T01:16:03.955-07:002014-05-13T01:16:03.955-07:00Dr. Faisal Manzoor was personally known to me sinc...Dr. Faisal Manzoor was personally known to me since long. When I was Secretary General of Abdalians Association in year 1999 to 2001 he worked with me as member of the Board of Trustees of the Abdalians Association.<br />He was very sober, kind hearted and useful for the people of Hasan Abdal and nearby areas. It is indeed a great loss to all of our Abdalians. He was an asset to our Institution. A month back, his real cousin Dr. Babar was also assassinated. I attended the Namaz e Janaza of Babar Shaheed and consoled Dr. Faisal for about two-three hours as he was very upset on the death of Babar Shaheed. That was my last meeting with him.<br />I have lost a good friend and this is but life. May Allah rest his soul in peace.

We push back the tears, stiffen our shoulders and press on, knowing it will be our turn next. The alternative, to run away and leave the field for the enemy is not an acceptable option. So till the state decides to act, or we can force it to, we will be but fodder for the cannons. And shit will continue to happen.Narmeen A.
