M.Jinnah as a Young Barrister
As I have mentioned before, I was born on Mr. Muhammed 'Ali Jinnah's Day of Direct Action. That is indeed how I think of my day of birth - in those exact terms.
Now the last Christian member of the Cabinet had been killed for his opposition to the infamous Anti-Blasphemy Law....
Mr. Jinnah, like Mr. Gandhi, was called to the bar in England...
as a lawyer Mr. Jinnah would recognize the filth of this law for what it is.
Now, to every person from Pakistan with whom I have ever spoken and changed my opinions because you were the persons more intimately involved in the doings of the country and I was but an outsider, I say that every one of you has failed your Religion, your Country, and your Moral Duty!
يبكي سيد جناح في مدينة القائد،في قصره القلق قرب البحرالمضطرب

How many languages do you know, Montag? I am jealous.
Plus I would not know how get Hebrew, Arabic, Greek characters into my blog either.
I am OK in English, French, Latin, Greek, and Arabic. The others I am at the level of a pre-schooler.
If you really, really want to get those characters, there are a number of ways to do it, but it's a bit too long to get into now.
Alas, the lingo of Pakistan is Urdu, not Arabic, and I am a total dope in Urdu.
