This incident is another example of Jihadis being over powering every aspect of life of Pakistani people.  Mr. Ansari and his legally wedded wife were not allowed to sit side by side in a McDonald restaurant to enjoy their food because, according to McDonald Pakistan's policy, it leaves a bad impression for the rest of public eating at a public place.   This is what they were told.  However, they could sit there facing each other.  One wonders if it is really a McDonald Pakistan policy or the policy dictated by the militant groups.  There has been no comment so far from the McDonald USA, and I don't think there will be one.  But this definitely forces one to wonder the extent of penetration of the jihadi element into a common man's life.  Are the militant groups trying to turn Pakistan into a caliphate state slowly and slowly which will be guided by the Sharia Law?  Mr. Ansari has shown his frustration in his blog and majority of people after reading his blog disapproved the treatment met by the couple at McDonald restaurant.  But that is not enough.  If people in Pakistan want to eliminate this type of unnecessary interference in public life, they have to voice their opinion openly and publicly.  A note of protest ought to be sent to the McDonald Corporation in Pakistan as well as in the USA to address this issue.  Other US food chains should take a serious note of this type of incident because this incident can set precedence for other restaurants also which will adversely affect their revenues.  ONE WONDERS WHAT IS PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT'S REACTION TO THIS INCIDENT?
