I was working in the Express 24/7 during the last Muharram, people called at our channel's landline to tell us about the 'miracle'. They wanted us to run our bulletin over it. People and friends from Sunni sect were adamant that the Moon had the name of a reverend personality written on it whereas friends from Shia sect wanted us to see the name of their reverend personality on the Moon.
A funny situation developed in a friend's home. All family members present in the house were illiterate except my friend's elder brother's wife (bhabi) who was a graduate. The whole house saw Muhammad written on the Moon, except that poor lady. She had to face the whole family’s taunts for many days for “not having a strong faith in Islam”.
On of my flat-mates was a bearded Sunni guy who had a Shia girlfriend in Karachi. They both were insiting over the telephone to tell and show each other the names of their respective reverend religious personalities on the Moon at the same time. When I returned late at night, they were having a serious brawl over the religious history of Islam.
Many people from Larkana called the television channel on the eve's of Benazir's first death anniversary. They all claimed to have seen the name of Benazir written on the Moon.
