[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ PAKISTAN WITHOUT ISMAILIS

.
Posted by Alishba Kzar

Little bit about the Ismaili community I grew up in,
which was targeted today in Karachi, killing 43 innocent people and 
        leaving numerous wounded:

If it weren't for the Ismailis

1. Pakistan wouldn't have cutting edge medical facilities which
comply with the international standards of health care -
I'm talking about the Aga Khan University Hospital;

2. Pakistan wouldn't have affordable, world class private education,
scholarship funds, free workshops, and curriculum development if it
weren't for the Aga Khan Education Services Pakistan;

3. Pakistan's historic landmarks like Baltit Fort and other locations
would've degenerated into rubble if it weren't for the
 Aga Khan Historic Cities Support Program;
 
4. Pakistan would have no secure lodging and conference spaces for
 international investors and diplomats if it weren't for the
Aga Khan Tourism Promotion Services Serena Hotels;
 
5. Pakistan wouldn't have had ANY natural disaster management
especially in remote areas near the Himalayan ranges if it weren't for the
Aga Khan FOCUS Pakistan initiative;
 
6. Pakistan's youth's employment rate would still be in the gutter if
it wasn't for the Aga Khan Economic Planning Board;
 
7. Pakistan wouldn't have had any concept of liberal arts if it wasn't for the
Aga Khan University Faculty of Arts & Sciences
 
8. Pakistan's economy would still be in the gutter if it weren't for
Ismaili investors and business owners;
 
9. Diseases would still be rampant if there were no blood and
free vaccination drives conducted by
AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL!
 
10. The world's perception of all Muslims as terrorist burka conservative
 homophobes would've still been maintained if it weren't for the
liberal and progressive representation by
Ismaili on international forums;

And these are just SOME of the things the invisible Ismailis and
the Ismaili leadership has done in Pakistan. I haven't even discussed the
work of AKDN in Canada, Egypt, India, Tanzania, Kenya, France,
the UK, and so on.


Hell, Pakistan wouldn't even have existed if Jinnah, born in
an Ismaili family, and the Aga Khan III hadn't worked for it.


THIS is the community that was shot dead straight in the f
ace today in Pakistan. THIS is the community that is hated so
passionately in Pakistan.

This is the community, which is known as "the community that welcomes smile,"
 that was forced in to grief-stricken mass-hysteria.

This is the community whose kids were forced to watch their parents
 being shot in the head for simply having peaceful beliefs different than
 the mainstream violent Jihadi Islam.
