Bismallah al Rahman al Raheem.
Brothers and sisters, Assalam alaikum -
I first came to Pakistan seven years ago following the horrific events of 9/11 – I am sure every single one of you can remember that day very well.
It was the dawn of a frightening new era – it was the time when George W Bush said: You are either with me or with the terrorists.
Who here is with George W Bush now? Who here stands shoulder to shoulder with the President of the United States?
He might be gone from The White House soon, but his rotten legacies will live on. And one of those legacies is his never-ending War on Terror.
His War on Terror gave birth to the cages of Cuba – to Guantanamo Bay where hundreds of our brothers were sold like slaves to the Americans.
