US funds Sesame Street in Urdu?

This aid comes at a time when the US are so broke they have plans to suspend 800,000 federal employees due to budget cuts. David Cameron has also just pledged £650 million in aid for Pakistani schools. Why the interest in Pakistani children all of a sudden? Are Western nations being warm, fuzzy, kind and generous or is there an ulterior motive? Be serious.

A blog for my thinking and perspective on events from an Islamic Angle. It's all quick thoughts, original content, sharp reminders or links to really interesting stuff.

It's how I view the world from East London. Sometimes I post on a topical issue that can be seen from many angles when only one will really do. Comments welcome!
