The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001 (Penguin, 2004) is the most comprehensive survey so far of America's exact relationship with Osama bin Laden and his fellow Arab Afghans in the two decades preceding 9/11. Why the West is Losing the War on Terror (Brassey's, 2004), is to construct Osama bin Laden as just such an enemy: rational not mad, driven by specific grievances such as America's support for Israel and the presence of American troops on Saudi soil.

FROM the second I looked into her big brown eyes, I knew she was mine. Abandoned the day before, in a cradle outside the Edhi orphanage in Karachi, Pakistan, the baby daughter I had long yearned for was finally in my arms. Wrapped in a pink blanket, weighing just 5lb, she was the tiniest baby I had ever seen. I felt completely overwhelmed as she held on to my finger and I felt that first, sharp, fretful pang of motherly love.
I had first visited the Edhi orphanage in 2007 when I was making a documentary for the BBC, Saira Khan's Pakistan Adventure. I had been deeply moved by the plight of the children there and the number of baby girls abandoned. Little did I imagine that a twist of fate would see me returning four years later, once again with a camera crew in tow, to film Adopting Abro...

Gender inequality is an acute and persistent problem, especially in Pakistan. The purpose of this study is to consider the social and economic background of sex discrimination and explore the nature and extent of such discrimination in Pakistan's national labor market including the effect of legislation. Methodological triangulation is adopted for this study, using both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. Both primary and secondary methods of data collection are used, bringing to the research a variety of very useful information. Patriarchal and cultural values, local traditions and misinterpretation of Islam are the main reasons of gender discrimination in Pakistan. Man-made ideological separation between public and private, inside and outside worlds has put a lot ...
