Zeemax sahib,

Really curious. Don`t see why a Mirzai should be worse than a cow-piss drinker. I am a hanud by the way.

Regards

Yaar Majumdar, do you really want a discussion? I mean, are you just trying to bait me or are you curious?

Zeemax sahib,

Why? At least the mirzai believes in one God, Mohammed, Koran etc but the hanud worships millions of gods, snakes, drinks cowpiss and all that.

Regards

Zeemax sahib,

Interesting how many people can see it except the blind hindu/mirzai cockroaches on Chowk ...

If you were to encounter a Hindu roach or a Mirzai roach, who would you kill first?

Regards

strange habit these indians have of not being concerned and still doling out advice. khair what do i care. i am busy counting all the cash i have made from my pakistani investments over the last few years including cash i made from predicting the latest deal:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=aNUtmagyg9oY&refer=uk

Standard Chartered to Purchase Union Bank of Pakistan (Update2)

Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Standard Chartered Plc, the British lender that makes most of its profit in Asia, agreed to buy an 81 percent stake in Pakistan`s Union Bank Ltd. for $413 million in cash to more than double its branches in the country.

...The purchase, the biggest in Pakistan`s banking industry, will help Standard Chartered expand in a $118 billion economy that Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz estimates will expand at an annual pace of 8 percent in the next five years.

...``Pakistan is a strongly growing country that is integral to Standard Chartered`s Middle East and Other South Asia strategy,`` said Chairman Bryan Sanderson, 65. The deal will ``significantly increase`` the bank`s presence in an ``important market,`` he said.

...Pakistan is ``a market we truly believe in,`` Chief Executive Officer Mervyn Davies, 53, said in an interview yesterday. ``We are doing well there and it`s a country we think we can do even better in.``

I am not concerned by your plight. I am sitting back and watching the unfolding show (sorry if my smug slip is showing).

aww, is`nt it sweet to see indians being concerned by our plight. perhaps our independence day is causing a change of heart in them. i think we should invite them over and get them to say bad things about hizbullah in front of a large gathering maybe outside badshahi masjid after juma. and while they are at it, we should also get them to abuse pakistani army as well as islam. i think they will be surprised by the reaction of awam. in fact so eager am i to watch this tamasha that i am willing to pay airfare of any indian willing to take this challenge. catch is that i be allowed to film this event and that i get the copyrights.

any takers out there?

I am amazed at all the ``ra-ra`` postings hailing Hizbollocks ``victory`` over Israel from Pakistanis. Here was a beautiful country which had been painstakingly rebuilt but has now been all but destroyed to serve the nefarious needs of Hizbollocks` medieval Syrian and Iranian masters. But for armchair muslim warriors that is nothing but collateral damage.

After the discovery of the airline bomb plot which is exclusively Pakistani in origin, I would have different thoughts if I were a Pakistani. Had they succeeded, you can rest assured that the Pakistan-Afghan border areas, cities like Karachi and Pakistani nuclear crown jewels locations would have moved one step closer to becoming future glass mines (after the radiation dies down). That is why Musharaff (who I think is the last brainy Paki) hurriedly coughed up the conspirators in their midst.

As for Pakistanis, their passports have already become radioactive as everyone knows.

Jobless Pakistanis want to take on the problems of the rest of the Muslim world. Zeemax, Urstruly get a life. Or at least try to preserve yours. Because Pakistan`s day of reckoning is a step away from the next 9/11.

So now you know.

As I wrote earlier, the battle lines are clearly drawn. It is no more a choice between black and white or shades of grey. It is only black or white. Evil or good. Either with us or against us. Muslims didn`t say this. Usraelis did. Noone can sit on the fence anymore. Shades of greay are gone .... history.

Now, we`ll see who wins. It is a war of attrition.

this is what the jew york times is reporting. and they say muslims have a problem with violence. note the these acts are cheered on by USraelis and their kaalay lovers. in comparison i have yet to see anyone praising those alleged bombers caught in ldn:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/13/world/middleeast/13convoy.html?ref=middleeast

Israeli planes have been striking Lebanese civilians since the beginning of the war, hitting a truckload of fleeing farmers, a Lebanese photographer and a village during a funeral. Even so, Friday’s strike still came as a shock: the convoy was more than 500 cars long and included a town mayor, an entire Lebanese Army unit and its own ambulance. The Israeli military said it had banned the movement of cars south of the Litani River, though the convoy was hit well north of it.

Faisaluno, it must be noted that Israel disregarded even the gentlemanly appeal made by Kofi that even though time remained till formal cease-fire, it would be expected that the sides will respect the spirit of the agreement and cease-fire immediately. In return, Israel pushed on towards Litani yesterday losing 24 soldiers, and today bombed south beirut again. Hazb, in return rocketed Haifa. Hazb had been respecting Kofi`s appeal. There were no rockets after the announcement yesterday.

That is the reality of Usrael. These people have no respect, none whatsoever, for any laws, conventions, or even the plain decency of Kofi Annan.

even a strong supporter of hizbullah like myself could not have dared to imagine that hizbullah would be giving a bloody nose to the USraelis thirty days after being at the end of one of the heaviest bombing campaigns in modern history. i thought tops, hizbullah would last one week. and even that would have been a victory given the past performance of arab armies which had far greater resources at their disposal than hizbullah does. yet even today hizbullah has killed 25 USraeli soldiers and has fired more rockets than on any other day. and you have to remember that USraeli pm had stated couple of day after the start of campaign that half of hizbullah`s fighting capabilities had been destroyed. i think olmert is another one of those candidates who would make a good replacement for the saddam`s minister of information although olmert is still not in the same league as bush.

also while we celebrate hizbullah victory, we should not forget the price paid in blood by the lebanese. hizbullah`s victory has ensured that these lives were not wasted in vain. the last occupation by USrael resulted in 20,000 dead lebanese. these lives would not have been lost had previous arab armies shown the same courage, commitment and resourcefulness that hizbullah has done.

so why has hizbullah succeeded when others have failed? many reasons chief among them are:

i. hizbullah is run on modern scientific lines unlike the p.l.o or nasser`s army.

ii. the organisation exists to protect the interest of its followers rather than to line the pockets of its senior leaders - a hallmark of most arab institutions

iii. meritocracy is observed all through the ranks rather than people being appointed on the basis of chithees - another trait common among modern arab institutions

another consequence of hizbullah victory is that ummah has seen who will protect its interest and who will sell its interest for a couple of dinars. the red area below represents lebanon:

I see Hazb has taken my advice in going after Haifa in #1:

...it is still a few days before the agreement comes into effect. Hazb would do right in squeezing off a few Zilzals to bury a couple of thousand roaches in their Haifa shelters alongwith their iPods and crossword puzzles. It has nothing to lose....

... but still no Zilzals...

There`s still some 10 hours. Perhaps .....
