[edit] Indian sources?

Some of the sources used in this article are extremely biased, and obvious enough, written by Indians. Small time articles used to create hate are used to back up claims that "Pakistanis have affairs with small boys"? This is ridiculous, and anyone with a brain should know that this goes against every law in Islam. Granted there might be a one off incident, but this doesnt belong here in this article. I would like the author to remove these ridiculous statements, or at least use half decent sources to back up these claims, and not some Indian conspiracy source. (most Indian newspapers are anti Pakistan, so please use some Western Sources) Thank you Unre4L 00:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this article sounds tainted. For instance it mentions that male sex workers outnumber the female sex workers in the Pakistani red light districts. I've never been to Pakistan but I can't imagine them have even a yellow light district! I'm not knowledgeable in this field to comment but I'd suggest someone with knowledge does.

All the citations now used in the article are from trusted sources like BBC World, Daily Telegraph and Guardian. Some from Pakistani sources as well. A few Indian citations ones that exist have companion citations leading to other sources mentioned above. This topic is controversial and I have done my best to bring it to the B-Class criteria in my editorial review of the article. Arun Reginald (talk · contribs) 18:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
