Karachi, Pakistan: News reports leaked to Maila Times indicate the recently held Pakistan Fashion Week in Karachi was responsible for killing 90 terrorists these past few weeks. Organizers of the show were pleased to learn that in addition to mesmerizing the fashion world with their haute couture, fashion shows held at the gala were also effective in fighting terrorism, one sexy catwalk at a time.
According to military spokesman Athar Abbass, Pakistan’s first ever fashion week was a huge success in the fight against terrorism. “The army, in cohorts with the nation’s top fashion designers, strategically planned the timing and logistics of the event to catch the miscreants off-guard,” said Mr. Abbas. “In addition to our surgical strikes, the pure sexyness and defiance of the fashion shows delivered an effective knock-out punch to the Taliban.” Mr. Abbas clarified that the fashion week was postponed twice not because of security concerns, but rather to better ‘coincide’ with the military’s operational plans.
In a press statement issued by the ISPR, scantily clad models, girls smoking cigarettes, fashionistas caked in make-up, and socialites looking out for Sunday Magazine photographers were the primary weapons used at the fashion week against the terrorists. “This overflow of defiance against the Taliban is a terrorist killing machine,” said arm-chair security analyst Ayesha Siddiqa.
However, it is still unclear how exactly terrorists were killed by the fashion week. Unnamed militants in South Waziristan reported that when their fellow militants heard of such defiance, they simply dropped dead. Other sources indicate that some militants were unable to ‘handle’ the extremely ‘haraam’ nature of fashion week and after looking at pictures and videos from the event, were shocked to death – literally. An anonymous militant who survived the four day event told Maila Times that it was “extremely difficult to control my breathing after seeing so many pairs of ankles, bare arms, ridiculous costumes, and attitudes that said ‘defiance.’” The militant said that he was able to survive because immediately after seeing the reports, he quickly went and held the hand of his fellow fighter.
Ayesha Tammy Haq, CEO of Pakistan Fashion Week, was pleased that the event was able to show the world that Pakistan is not just about terrorism. “This just proves that the way to fight terrorism is to shock them into submission with some skin,” said Ms. Haq. “I can’t wait for the New York Times to feature our event in their daily ‘feel-good’ story about Pakistan.”
Despite the success in killing terrorists, fashion designers and models participating in the event were disappointed that their hard work and designs were being overshadowed by the media’s coverage of the fashion week’s defiance against the Taliban. “That’s all fine and lovely, but can we please talk about my elegant ensemble of patchwork motif?” asked fashion designer Sonya Battla. Nadia Hussain, a prominent model, was also upset that instead of the media focusing on her catwalk, the media was too busy looking for a look of ‘defiance’ on her face.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik was quick to point out that the PPP and the President are supporters of the thriving fashion industry in Pakistan and that the democratically elected government by the democratic loving people of Pakistan voted for ‘sexy.’

This is fucked up/crossed culture which is neither western nor Islamic, what one can expect out of it? and why we blame our politicians for everything? it you and me , that likes to wear, speak and develop English taste even doing shit! but at the same time we say we are Muslim by Heart! Huh!!!! how many of us knows Arabic or want to learn Arabic??… these small bits and pieces creates a Confused/Crossed/Fucked up Nation!
November 29, 2009 at 5:28 am
thats such a fucked up comment. why do u need to learn arabic to be a good muslim, u can be a good arab ass wiper by learning arabic but thats not necessary if u want to go to heaven to claim ur 72 virgins for that u can just put on a specially designed vest.
brilliant work of “journalism” maila times.

Firstly, You need to learn Arabic to Understand Quran Properly (if u know its in Arabic).. just like people learn English to Understand the Books written in English.hence you need to understand Quran to become a good muslim.. Make sense?
Secondly I bet you are not a Muslim otherwise you would have understand what i mean to say at the first place…
I feel pity for people like you who have become American Ass wipers., and loving it…
