By AHMED QURAISHI ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — For the past few months, Samad Khurram and another Pakistani student, Aqil Sajid, were responsible for creating many fake email IDs and then using them to send offensive emails, using an unusually grotesque and filthy language, to any Pakistani citizen who happened to disagree with their views on the lawyers [...]
Samad Khurram snubbed the U.S. ambassador. Great. But he also stalked a respectable lady lawyer from Lahore who is also a commentator. Her crime? She disagreed with Aitzaz Ahsan. So are people like Samad a symbol of the good or the bad in Pakistani politics? By YASMEEN ALI LAHORE, Pakistan — It is with some amusement [...]
Laila Sohail attended the now infamous June 18 ceremony where her colleague Samad Khurram snubbed the ambassador. But Laila says while she condemns the U.S. strike, she does not become any less patriotic by accepting the award. “While I am in agreement that Pakistan needs to take a more aggressive stance regarding its so called [...]
Seema Manazir just revealed the other side of the story. The abuses that followed only strengthen her case that Pakistani blogosphere needs to be cleaned up.

Is that how we show gratitude to our mentors and educators? If Samad Khurram cared so much, why was a Pakistani university not good enough [...]
By ANIA ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Samad’s action was indeed commendable. Being a Roots student, I was present in the hall. The audience did not respond the way it ought to have, because firstly it happened too quickly, in a ceremony that was going smoothly with students coming and collecting their awards, the audience was caught off [...]
In the full glare of the media, Samad Khurram refused to receive an award from Anne Patterson. None of the Pakistanis in the hall joined him or gave him a standing ovation.
