I solute all these brave Pakistanis, they are our pride and honor. thank you all you brave Pakistanis and thank you all the families who gave their sons for Pakistan.

I just read a story of Pakistani soldier who's toung was cut by India while he was a POW, what a shame, India does it all the time, and we watch their movies, shows and talk a storm about it. I am ask all Pakistanis to become patriotic and that make small sacrifices for Pakistan.and try not to watch too much of India movies. May Allah S.W.T. help us. Ameen.

We should have some honor and not watch them and watch whatever Pakistanis produce, it will become better if we supported it. May Allah S.W.T help us know our Enemies and give us courage to stop supporting our enemies by any means that we do.
