Re: # 40

{{{{{{jihad against pride in hinduism}}}}}}}

but she is all for collective pride in Islamism....she is all for muslims coming out in large

numbers to protest GWB. She is all for intimidation..........to force the rest of the Indians

on deciding the venue of his address................................................

Would they have protested if W had invaded N. Korea? or did they protest against

American cruise missiles slamming Belgrade in defence of Bosnian Muslims?

True Koranic teachings......if your brother is not a muslim kill him ...but fight on behalf of a a far away muslim.


{{{{{{{{{she found some justification in blowing up of bamiyan buddhas}}}}}}}

true..........and she finds solace in raging against Kashmiri Pundits.....in the Wolves vs Lambs story go for the Wolves.........cheer them and their sponsors across the border..............typical Arundhathi Roy type univeral humanism of ``south asian`` shtyle.................


{{{{{{{{{however, she never hid this}}}}}}}}

Exactly........that`s why she has a huge potential.......you bet.

since this board is more about ferzana...she never claimed to be unbiased in her writings or editorial judgement (case in point, all the articles from Behl). she always stated that she will use whatever material available to fight her jihad against pride in hinduism and indian jingoism. at times she even found green tiles in public bathrooms as a proof of hindu pathalogy and insult to muslims. and offcourse she found some justification in blowing up of bamiyan buddhas.

however, she never hid this.

Zeena,

You wound me. I am no ordinary hindu jihadi. I am now, thanks to Mandal II, an active ``upper caste`` hindu jihadi (where`s that thumbs up wala icon when you need it?)

the exchange is taking off at a tangent as usual. Any way, 37 posts and not a word in favor of Vishy-Vashy

kedarnnthji

Yes, I BELIEVE Farzana Versey is a fair, balanced, secular, brilliant and genius writter ever in India and Pakistan.

Not only that Farzana will be a leading anchor woman in the subcontinent. Just wait and see, this is my prediction.


On the other hand, a bunch of you guys are in fact(Hindu or Muslim Jehadies in secular clothings).

You people are nasty and mean towards Farzana for NO reason. If you can call her Jihadi, then who else is left?

Calling Farzana Jihadi is an open proof who is Jihadi and who is not.

Obviously you are Hindu Jihadi(if you are Hindu) or (Muslim Jihadi if you are muslim), b/c of your approach towards Farzana, who is the most braodminded person I have ever seen.

Whoever is falsely accusing Farzana of being Jihadi is himself Jihadi . You remind me of my nursery rhyme , called little red riding hood.


burpinder

You are also another Hindu jihadi who stalks me wherever I go. How many times have I told you to stop stalking me thread to thread with your nonsense.

Now, all Hindu jihadies will gang up against me. Well, well, I do not care for anyone of you here.

Yes, I do care for Farzana and that is the reason I am on this board. Otherwise no one of you is able to interact. My standard is way too high for interacting with Hindu Jihadies like you.

Who have ntohing positive to contribute, same old bigotry, same old prejudices.

Now, come and attack me with your bigotries , you Hindu Jihadies I am ready to fight with all of you alone. I am strong enough to tackle all of you single handedly. You sissies, come fight with me.

If you think Farzana is a very balanced secular person then I have the Brooklyn Bridge on sale for you. Maybe by Pakistani standards she is a balanced secular person but then you people don`t know any better. Bharath correctly described her. I have an acronym to describe the likes of her JISC (Jehadi in secular clothing).

Farzana darling, why are you so incensed about people saying nasty things about Vish Poison Singh. Worse things have been said about Narendra Modi on this forum but somehow you have always ignored it or maybe even condoned it. Yeah! anybody who screws Hindus is okay but not if they screw others.

Farzana is fair, honest and the most balanced writer that I have ever seen.

Do not falsely accuse her out of your own bigotry.

On the contrary you are bigot to call Farzana a bigot.

Farzana is everything BUT bigot or narrowminded. Farzana is never a hypocrite and pretender.

Why will she pretend? She will pretend , what for?

You must be out of your mind.

You are the biggest pretender, bigot and hypocrite.

Ms.FV,
You wrote ``you need to get back at the neighbouring country with even more fervour``.

Is there any wonder Pakis/ Muslims are fawning at your feet ..............singing your glory? You persist with your hypocritical attempt to portray Indians/ Hindus as jingoistic against the ``innocent`` jehadis next door!! let your heart bleed for them...

Not a bone in my body wants to hate Indian muslims and I am no Hindutvadi... India belongs to all Indians irrespective of their religion or any other divisive identities..I wish people focus less on divisive issues......and focus on economic development and in the building of prosperous country for every one.

But you are a hypocrite and a pretender.....
.................you are a muslim communalist who fools around as a secularist.....

.............who believes Hindus don`t have any collective identity or should not have any collective identity.

..... who believes Hindus of the subcontinent have no grievances or more importantly should not have any grievances........

Such hypocrisy has lots of market potential in India... you will do well...in this I have to agree with your flatterers.

Farzana dear

I know you are a big name. I know you are brilliant. I know one day you will be a leading anchor woman in the whole subcontinent.

But, I still wish to see you around with us, not famous people.

regards

Farzana -- when I saw that interview -- I could see that it is time for you to say goodbye to Chowk editorship -- because you have bigger fish to fry in Indian journalism – you do have a knack for sharp bold interviews – great question and great follow ups -- my best wishes on your new expeditions and newer higher mountains to conquer.....

....one day you will be a big name and a pride and joy of subcontinental journalism --

I will miss you....

A digression:

Thanks folks. I am on a hiatus from my post as editor of Chowk.

I have a few things to say, which could mean nothing much
