Pakistan was originally called Pakstan and was invented by a Cambridge University student in the 1930s from

Punjab Afghania Kashmir Sind BalochiSTAN

which are the former countries that now comprise the territory of Pakistan. The i was added later to make it easier to say.

What are you talking about Yusuf? Pak means pure so in a perverse way he was paying us a compliment?! Did you know that he went on to tell another colleague that he looks “like a raghead.” Oh but that was ok too, because he was referring to enemy combatants.

I’m not exactly a fan of the fellow, but it must be terrible to have every word open to dissection by the public. I’ve said tonnes of stupid things (and continue to do so)… hopefully not racist, but who knows. It’s just that I can get away with it most of the time, because I am not famous enough to be stalked by the paparazzi, or betrayed to the tabloids by so-called “friends”.

Of course, the scary thing is, we’ll all be taken to account for our words one day. May Allah forgive us for our errors, ameen.
