What most Pakistanis believe

Posted on Chowrangi.com on February 24th, 2008

From conversations heard during bus rides in Karachi:
  • Pakistan once had more oil than even Saudi Arabia, but the Iranians sucked it out of the ground on their side of the border.
  • Most of Pakistan’s electricity has been filled into batteries and given to the United States.
  • Noor Jehan was Lata’s teacher and a much better singer than Lata.
  • The pilot who dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima killed himself later (actually, he died from natural causes in 2007).
  • The first man on the moon (Neil Armstrong) heard the call to prayer (“azaan”) when he landed on the moon and later became a Muslim (he is still a Christian).
  • Herbal medicines are much better than allopathic drugs because they have no side effects (wrong: a Chinese herbal concoction for treatment of heart disease was found to cause cancer as a side effect).
  • F-16’s were invented by Pakistanis but the prototype was stolen and developed by the Americans.
  • Americans are converting to Islam by the thousands every day and in a few years the U.S. will be an Islamic republic.
  • Princess Diana had already become a Muslim and was going to the airport with Dodi AlFayyad to fly to Saudi Arabia for performing Umrah but both were killed in a staged accident by agents of the Royal Family.
  • The atom bomb was first made by the Germans, but the Americans stole it.
