that admission would have been less of an
ordeal and humiliation than this barbarous
trial which no self respecting man can
endure. I am a Muslim. A Muslim's fate is in the

clear conscience and tell Him that I rebuilt His
Islamic State of Pakistan from ashes into a
respectable Nation. I am entirely at peace with
my conscience in this black hole of Kot Lakhpat. I
am not afraid of death. You have seen what fires I
have passed through.
