Excerpts from the site:
“Criteria: Although the men and women on this list are some of the world’s most sophisticated thinkers, the criteria to make the list could not be more simple. Candidates must be living and still active in public life. They must have shown distinction in their particular field as well as an ability to influence wider debate, often far beyond the borders of their own country.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali a thinker? I doubt it VERY much. It’s an offense to see people like AA in the same list this b****

Atizaz was going greatly since 9 March 07 but lately his political imbitions to contest elections form NA-55 has scratched his repute. Once he has decided that he will not contest elections under Mush then he should stick with his words.
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 pm
@aahmad
AA has been doing a great job and has had his lions share of sacrifices. I agree with you that in principle he should not participate in the elections. He also had a serious problem when he stated that we should forget 12.th may terror by MQM munafiqs. Otherwise he has done a brilliant job!

Some are born great (Aitzaz Ahsan), some achieve greatness (Imran Khan) and some have greatness thrust upon them (Musharraf & his so-called Enlightened Moderate).
I don’t have any prejudice againist any province but let me say this Aitzaz Ahasan has made Punjab really proud.
As that Hadith Shareef comes to my mind that the Best Jihaad is to speak truth and stand up against a tyrant, Aitzaz Ahasan did it remarkably well, and if someone tried to hamper or subvert the Judicial movement,
Let me say this AITZAZ AHSAN will be the BHUTOO of 21st Century.

May 4th, 2008 at 12:02 am
@ Javed Khan,
Your hate for PPP is quite visible.But remember PPP is the only national political party and Zardari is the only leader who has support from all over the federation.
Also remember Zardari is leader of Aitezaz too. Aitezaz is a Jiyala and inshalla will be jiyala all his life.

May 5th, 2008 at 12:18 am
Before i vote for AA , I would like to know where he will stand after (or if) the restoration of judiciary, with package or without…
he has been made quite by AZ and it will be interesting to know his stand in the next 10 - 15 days…
we Pakistanis have developed so many “deotas” which unfortunately WE have also destroyed with our hands with sorrow hearts…..
May 5th, 2008 at 1:34 am
I was very disappointed by pk pliticians, Army, but after seeing and listening Ahtezaz I feel greatnabout future of Pakistan. I vote for Ahetaza
May 5th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Atizaz is our hope for new Pakistan.We really want to get rid of old Pakistan that is now showing the picture of mafia culture.Here Serving generals,seceratries,ministirs live like dons and people are adopting criminal attitude for their survivals.Look the mood of ruling mafia as soon as he filed his paper of nomination,the elections are delayed for two months.People should be ready for new chaos like situation around us.US is getting mad to secure Mush culture before its presidential elections and that is why turmoils and delays are being produced in our system so people get confuse and stick to national and personal problems.
May 5th, 2008 at 12:18 pm

Zardari dont want AA to go for election coz zardari knew AA will be a threat and seriously rightful candidate to become of LAW MINISTER. So Zardari and Farooq naik see this as a serious threat.
Also AA is no longer in zardari’s good book as AA sometimes negate zardari. And zardari doesnt like that. So he is thinking if AA get elected and comes in parliment then he fears that people will insist AA to be LAW minister and Zardari doesnt people who negate him. coz Zardari wanna be boss.
Great guru
May 6th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Aitzaz Ahsan is the only ray of hope amongst selfish and cheater politicians.I pray that Allah may make him strong enough to fight all
the evils of Pakistan–Amen.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I hope he loses badley…..
May 6th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
It is becoming clearer and clearer every day from PPP’s actions - and its inaction where relevant - that an unholy alliance of PPP, Musharraf and the USA is acting according to an agreed and comprehensive agenda. In following this agenda, Zardari risks alienating the people of Pakistan, and specifically those who voted for the PPP, because he is covertly committed to actons that are going to be against the interests of democracy in Pakistan if he is to serve the agenda of his American masters.
May 7th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
@ Saqibtahir
PPP supporters are increased by 100% (double) in this forum. I thought I am the only one but you are also here … now we are 2.

Dr Qadir a Master Mind in Science!
o my God
Yehi Sarrai Wajah Hai Muslamanoo Kay Ziwal jo
I mean “Jihallat”.
How on Earth a person who stole the documents cann even be classfied a scienties.
you should says Dr Abdus Salam.
You woudnt says because he is Qadiyani and its doesnt go well with our beleives.
May 9th, 2008 at 3:39 am
@Awais,
I have highest regards for Dr.Salam. Beyound anydoubt , a great scientiest, a great countryman.
But ,
Did Dr.Qadeer got his Phd by stealing some docs ?
May 9th, 2008 at 3:43 am
Dear All Admirers of AH,
Would some throw light , what AH was doing when Gen.Babar was doing extra judicial killings in Karachi ?
If i remember correctly , he was leader of house in Senate at that time.
And now , he has become champ of Human Rights. I belong to constituence NA-124 (previously Na-93) from where AH has won multiple times since 1988 and becaz of this reason i didn’t vote for him in 2002.
He is a genius beyound any doubt but one has to be consistent and person like him should adhere to principles.
May 10th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Highest regards for Iatzaz Ahsan, beyond any doubt he is one of the few
persons in Pakistan who love Pakistan and like to see lawfull Pakistan as any place or country with out the law, called JUNGAL.
May 10th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
todays justice system, i have lot of respects for Mr. AITAZAZ AHSAN & RANA BHAGWAN DAAS only. One of them should be chief justice of Pakistan. atleast Aitazaz is not a liar.
May 15th, 2008 at 8:28 am
by giving something i compared him as socrates while dirinking hemlock only to make truth with his nations for pakistan please may you live long till do better and truth pakistan.
