    Sadly people of Pakistan don’t know about his work. Equal was way ahead of his time. A pure genius.

    People who don't know about Iqbal Ahmed, sadly I don't think they are gonna listen to him for long, but if you do, then now you know a poet, a scholar, a humanitarian of the highest caliber.

    The 15-minute fisherman’s story was a brilliant way of bringing home to Americans of how they miss the tragedies they are causing the ‘others’.

    I have rarely watched as such clarity of speech and confidence. His discourse is highly rhetorical and compellingly impressive. I love Prof. Iqbal Ahmad, and his first home birth.

      that year the political science department at Michigan was rated number one in the country (as was the lsw school). A professor showed this to his lecture of several hundred students.

    Watched on Ms. Rida's recommendation and loved the way Eqbal Ahmed delivered the speech in his own confident and bold style! His use of stressed and unstressed words and phrases made the speech even more expressive and full of 'organic' comprehensibility!!
    P.s. I don't know how or why, it came to my spontaneous observation that he used the word 'organic' 7 times and each time with same or similar meaning but in different related context! I loved my own natural observation too! 😎

      Asalamalaykum
      Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
      On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
      While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
      I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
      I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life.
      Can we talk?

      @@mdzahidansari5746 in essence liberalism is tolerance, freedom, giving space, respecting views that do not endorse yours. This is good. But when liberalism is made into an ideology it tends to serve power, the status quo and exploitation. There are liberals who are imperialists and cannot see the contradiction.
