Don’t execute him and then the Muslims will still persecute the Christians.

Yeah. The comparison to Trump wasn’t good. Actually there is no comparison to Trump. He’s an original. He’s a real American.

Imran Khan is a Pashto born in Lahore to a wealthy family. Educated in Lahore and at Oxford, as the man ages and seventy approaches he has become more and more Islamist. This does not bode well for a multi-ethnic Pakistan whose major city, Karachi, is already unlivable, whose province of Baluchistan is practically ungovernable, whose “tribal” provinces are unmanageable, and whose Pashto ethnicity. of which Khan is one, is unspeakable.
