Manzer Munir

I was born in Pakistan, raised in Saudi Arabia in a uniquely American and international expatriate culture, where I was educated since primary school in the local American embassy school for US and foreign children. I grew up and came of age in America as I started and finished high school and college in the States. And despite having a blog dedicated to peace in Pakistan, I am a proud American and believe that there is no better country in the world than the USA and no better documents than the US constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I believe I have a unique outlook and perspective on life having lived in three vastly different countries. The United States however, my adopted and much loved homeland, with her ideals of liberty and prosperity form the basis of my being that allow me to be both American and Pakistani. I am also at once a secular constitutionalist and a Sufi Muslim, a Democrat and at times, a Republican, an idealist, yet also someone who is pragmatic. I believe that these characteristics and their varied accompanying perspectives come through in my writings.
