An Inspiration to us all - Abdus Sattar Edhi

This guys should have been on a short list for a Nobel peace Prize, but he keeps getting over looked, but not just by the Zionist conspiracy (which seems to run the world in the eyes of Muslims), but by Pakistanis as well. Is he up there with Dalia Lama, I would think so, but if not Nobel Prize can he be at least in an Apple Billboard?

I saw an exhibition in Stanford called Faces of Inspiration. They had Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Dalia Lama, and other peace visionary, but no Sattar Edhi. I wonder when I am going to see him on Hwy 101?

An Inspiration for Pakistanis
By Ras H. Siddiqui


One can ignore numerous people in Pakistan from a journalist’s viewpoint. But when it comes to the keepers of the welfare of literally thousands of citizens of a relatively poor country (by many standards) no visitor to Karachi at least can forget the presence of Abdul Sattar Edhi and his wife Bilquis. Thus my recent trip to our country of origin would not have been complete without a meeting with Mr. Edhi and I made it a point to try and locate him at Kharadar (Salty Gate) or Mithadar (Sweet Gate), some of the most overcrowded and hard to reach parts of Pakistan’s largest city.
