Video of Pakistani Student Insulting American Ambassador Anne Patterson
By Ali Yar Khan • Jun 19th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment • (4,525 views) • 49 CommentsIn a rare show of political maturity, Samad Khurram, a student of a private school in Islamabad refused to accept his an award of academic excellence from the American Ambassador Anne W. Patterson. The academic excellence award was 
being given to him for his admission to Harvard, a world distinction in thinking skills, a regional distinction in chemistry and 7 A grades in A level. The student said that he did so because of the United States attacks on the tribal regions of Pakistan in which innocent children and the people are dying, and the US continuous support for the dictator Pervez Musharraf.
The face of Anne W. Patterson turned red and for 5 long seconds she stood there motionless with shame and anger. When the student was called to receive the certificate on the stage from the US ambassador, he just passed her and went to dice and cited the reason. As he passed the American ambassador, the principal also became flabbergasted, she tried to take hold of the student by the sleeve, but he moved on, while the American diplomat watched in horror and embarrassment.
Then American ambassador in his speech tried to brush the incident away by adopting a pedantic tone and tried to make the matter light. The principle never recovered from the shock, as she knew what’s waiting for her in the store after the function. Not only the chance of hefty donation from the Americans went down the drain, but also it will surely cost her the job.
That’s is the collateral damage of the war on terror.

You do not insult a guest. If we all got angry then most University students in the US can get mad at all Pakistanis for being the epicenter of terror. Thus far, almost all terrorist, caught or named have made their pilgrimage to Pakistan for training. Samad is clearly a part of the problem, not the solution.

I don’t know what this guy was thinking but certainly it was not intelligent. Rest assure young man, if you want to go USA ever, you will be “treated” accordingly.. By the way, just joking, keep it up

This student deserve appericiation for what he did. He shows the way to our elite how to act. There are very few peoples among us to have same great courage and strong will to say the reality. I am sure this guy going to be a great person in his life. Inshallah.

hope everyone remembers comments of an ougoing US envoy about pakistanis and put each of us to shame due to the attitude of our so called elite he had come across during his stay in Pakistan, must have eaten his words on knowing about Samad Khurram who after ages makes one feel proud of being a Pakistani

Wow. I guess you could always stay in Pakistan instead of coming to the country you so “bravely” insult. Harvard sucks anyways. That is unless of course you want to become an elitist sob.

I salute to a WONDERFUL student did a great JOB.
He proved that he is perfect in studies - those who are blaming him only because ambassador got insult but no one appreciated about his studies.
Who the crazy is saying he should not attend the ceremony - if not HOW they understand PAKISTANI.
Every one has his own RIGHT to do and act whatever he feels right and I am with MR. Khurram. I were him - i would do the same
