Article by a Pakistani journalist

Over the past few weeks, I have paid occasional visits to the website of the Pakistani newspaper The Dawn. It has published some really commendable articles regarding terrorism and religious fundamentalism. The January 4 issue of its weekly magazine carried this excellent piece ('Blow Daddy') by Nadeem Paracha. It is in the form of a conversation between a boy, brainwashed by fundamentalist propaganda on television, and his father. Thanks to Wikipedia, I came to know a little bit about the author. He is a well-known Pakistani journalist and has repeatedly hit out at religious hardliners. I would definitely like to take a look at his writings, a considerable portion of which is available on the net.
