badly that people think it is so bad but in fact it is as safe as your home town. There is
absolutely no danger. You dont see any fundamental groups here nor Pakistan is any closer
to war. Pakistani people are moderate muslims and every religion is accepted here. There

What is situation of SARS in the country.
Till todate we have not found any case of SARS in Pakistan. Goverment of
Pakistan has taken very strict measure to controll any situation which may arise. All
entry points are checked for SARS safty. Since Pakistan has been so less travelled by
foreigners it has no chance of geting SARS. Last time when there was plegue in India
Pakistan was 100% safe so it is now.
If Pakistan is so safe how do you explain US state department travel
advisory.
It is a known fact that US travel advisories are usually written by those
who have never visited the country themselves. They seem to mix Afghanistan with
Pakisan.They repeat the same thing again and again only because of lack of interest by our
governments. Otherwise for other countries same advisories are issued and waived off
immediately. Just because of PR. Our rival India is rather big country and US can not
afford to break ties with them. In order to please them such advisories are issued.
What about women can they travel to Pakistan
Off course! Pakistan is a Muslim country women are given equal right of a
man in Islam. There is no problem for women to travel to Pakistan, however a modest dress
