How could a Muslim do such a thing!

-
Whenever terrorist incidents happen, such as the one that happened on London Bridge a couple of days back, conversations start happening to understand the true underlying reasons & motivations. When it come to explaining Muslim terrorism, there are various theories and often the people most confounded by such flagrant acts of barbarism are the Muslims themselves because they are completely unable to relate to the act themselves. A non Muslim would have so many unknowns in his mind that he would not be able to reach ay conclusion. But a Muslims, thinks of the injunctions of Quran and sayings of the Prophet (PBUH), & then fails to understand how the perpetrators are linking their act to Islam. Below Hadit is just one example of the many you can find that forbids Muslims to harm Women and Children in a war.

"It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar that a woman was found killed in one of these battles; so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing of women and children (Book 019, Hadith 4319)"


Infact, Holy Prophet even fobade Muslims to harm trees in war


Do not kill a child, nor a woman, nor an old man, nor obliterate a stream, nor cut a tree.."(Sunan-Al-Bayhaqi)


In the wake of the above, the people who do carry out these attacks, in my opinion, are the cross overs, of Muslims in UK who are suffering from severe mental problems and during such a time are exposed to hate preaching and perversion. If you look at the numbers:
  • Muslim Population in UK is 3 million
  • % of people in UK suffering from Severe Mental disorders during their lifetime 8.4%
  • Average life expectancy 80 years
  • % of people expected to suffer from severe mental disorder in any year 0.1%
  • Muslims expected to suffer from severe mental disorder in any year 3000
  • Of the 3000, there would be a % of Muslims that would be exposed to a perverted, hateful version of Islam (Assume 2%) 
  • Of the ones exposed there would be a certain % who actually carry out these attacks (Assume 20%)
This takes us to a figure of 12 Muslims each year who are likely to conduct successfully an act of terrorism not very far off from the actual number of perpetrators (low single digit)

The evasive & baffling A&P ROI

Investment in a brand is like any other investment. An organization either has enough cash in its kitty to be able to invest it in building the brand quity or the organization borrows from the bank. The ultimate objective of any investment is to generate return. How much the required rate of return is varies from market to market and form environment to environment. These are times of economic recession. Even the BRICs are now coming to around 7% GDP growth (with the exception of Russia which itself is heavily dependent on International Gas prices). Recessionary times are the true litmus test of marketers. Getting growth and developing market and categories are not easy. These are times of high interest rates in Pakistan with the discount rate being 10.5% and 1 year KIBOR at 12%. This means that an organization investing in the brand could alternatively invest in the risk free Banking sector and obtain a 12% return with the principal intact. So the investment in the brand should resul...

INFANT MORTALITY RATE Infant mortality is a commonly used statistical measure that is defined as the ratio of infant deaths to live births . The most widely used definition of Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths of babies under one year of age per 1,000 live births. Traditionally, the most common cause worldwide was dehydration from diarrhea , however a variety of programs combating this problem have decreased the rate of children dying from dehydration. As a result, the most common cause is now pneumonia . Other major causes of infant mortality include: malnutrition , malaria , congenital malformation , infection and SIDS . IMR was, and remains, higher in LDCs. In 2001, the Infant Mortality Rate for Less Developed Countries (91) was about 10 times as large as it was for More Developed Countries (8). Infant mortality in Pakistan Infant mortality in Pakistan is highest among SAARC countries, which at present stands at 70 deaths per 1,000 live births . Pakist...

A case for more provinces

-
There have been talks in the country for quite some time for forming a seraiki province in south of Punjab and a Hazara province in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. There exists a strong case for more provinces in the country if we look around at the world around us. Although Pakistan is the 6 th most populous country and the 36th largest in terms of geographic area, it would rank 56th in a list of countries with most provinces (& im considering FATA as the 5 th province). These countries include all of the most developed ones. On the other hand, ours is obviously the epitome of national mismanagement. There are many reasons why there should be more provinces. One, as per the general rule of management, it is easier to administer if the whole is divided into homogenous parts which share the same characteristics. In large administrative units, it is more probable that an area of the province may get neglected in terms of its economic and development needs. Moreover, having more provinc...
