Last night at Koel Cafe dinner, a friend of ours – a visa officer at German Consulate Karachi, was with us. I asked him what I have been wanting to know for a long time – why THEM?
The pronoun THEM refers to mullahs and religious families. I am a Pakistani and I see how difficult it is for an educated person here to be successful at immigration for a Western country. BUT then I come across THOSE religiously brainwashed people who flash their foreign passport at my face ridiculing my misery being a Pakistani living in Pakistan.
Yeah, THEY got it but people like me might won’t.
And what’s my crime? Am I not educated? Am I not skilled or talented? Am I not healthy? Am I not capable of making money?
But wait a minute … I am a criminal and people like me are criminals too. WE DON’T HAVE FAT BANK STATEMENT. And that’s a negative in immigration process. WHO CARES FOR EDUCATION, BROAD MINDEDNESS, TALENT AND SKILL. It’s the money that matters, eh?
And THEY have loads.
But what about the interview? Don’t the visa officers see a person? Shouldn’t they be trained in judging people? Shouldn’t they know how these families are polluting Western societies and traditions by imposing their beliefs and boldly fighting for rights because of stupid human rights organizations who gave them this strength. And what about bombing and terrorism and riots and protests? Why do THEY get approved for visas in the first place? And if you give them, then why crying about what they do?
I believe if someone wants his religious beliefs and traditions then he should live in his own country or a country like his. You know why? Because WHEN IN ROME, DO AS ROMANS DO! Heard about that, eh?
Dear European embassies, PULLEEZZ cut me a slack and protect western culture and land, and don’t kill my dreams.
My dear rest of Pakistanis, please don’t get offended; I am not talking about you and you know that, right? Because not all of you are THEM.
À la prochaine !
