Re: # 69

And even more so how does Mr. tahmad know that this particualr man has been badmouthing America.

I don`t expect any decency from Quadinis, whose very religion is based on blatant and shameless distortion.

Re: # 70
Urstruly, what you expect or don’t is not really that important (because you know why), but why did the joker had to go to Pakistan to memorize Quran? Why not Amsterdam?

Re: # 71

It appears to me from the news report that the guy or his parents are not Dutch citizens or have any connection with holland but rather his parents are originally from Pakistan. I suggest that you rephrase your question as ``but why did the (epithet) had to memorize Quran?``

Re: # 73
Are you suggesting that he went to Pakistan only because his parents are from there? Because Quran can be memorized even while living on the north pole. Where his parents are from is totally irrelevant. So which one is it?

Re: # 74

I think the important thing is to find out why his entry was denied into US; whether it was due to his ``religious preferences`` or his ``national origin`` (or that of his parents`).

Interesting news item in Dawn. Notice the sudden interest in opportunities for education and jobs in the US and blaming his mother for putting him on this ``Islam`` route!! Typical example of the characterless ``Islamists`` of Pakistan - they spit on the US as long as they feel safe and protected by US laws. When given the chance to put their money where their mouth is, they suddenly change their tune. US courts will probably let this man back into the US in due course - but the truth of the ``Islam`` of these arab worshippers is obvious from this news item.

Pakistani-American teenager, father barred from U.S.
LOS ANGELES, Aug 30 (Reuters) A Pakistani-American born in the United States said on Wednesday he has been barred from re-entering the country apparently because he chose a close relative who was convicted of a terrorism-related crime in April in the emergency contact portion of his U.S. passport. Jaber Ismail, 18, arrived in Pakistan with his 45-year-old father, Muhammed, nearly five years ago to study and memorize the holy Quran. He completed that task and tried to return but U.S. Customs officials at the Hong Kong airport told the father and son, ``your passports aren`t in the system. You have no record in the U.S.``. Jamil: ``I said, `I am a U.S. citizen. I was born there.` I showed them my birth certificate, my school ID. They wouldn`t listen.`` He said FBI agents in Islamabad told him that he and his father would be denied entry into the United States unless they submitted to more questioning and a lie detector test. ``I was at a mosque. I was memorizing the Quran because it was important to my mom,`` Ismail said. ``I want to go home and finish high school and get a good job.``(Posted @ 09:50 PST)

Nature is still worthy in the country and music is still a form of art and opera, theatre and literature are still alive there.

Good point. Iran is the only Islamic country whose art films regularly win awards at Cannes.

Somehow I feel that writer has unmistakably written such week article to get the interest of Islamic like minded folks. Awareness, society, respect, history and heritage if the author argues then it still prevails in Iran in this century and this era. Saadi is still quoted and Roustam and Sohrab are still narrated in Iranian text books and kids from any street knows about. Its here in Pakistan that these chapters that are somehow belong from Iranian literature are eliminated. Nature is still worthy in the country and music is still a form of art and opera, theatre and literature are still alive there.
Ahmedi is true in denying the event that never had such mass figures of disaster and we look around the Bengal Holocaust is an appropriate subset of the famous Denial making them relatively equally important. But Pakistani side of barbarities is always hid and world has no ethical view on this catastrophe. Thus fake reasoning cannot be established to start war and killing of innocent people of Iran again and again.
Bush has no courage and mind left to have debate with the overpowering and factual thoughts of Nijad which are truth of planet nowadays.
Its just adjusting the right figures and freedom to express truth in all its forms and shapes.

`` I expected this from Jew wannabe Indian investment bankers like Chaltoo, not someone like you. Israel today occupies the moral authority of Apartheid South Africa, and just as that apartheid regime had its apologists, the state of Israel has its own. ``

Really ? I suppose you have figured this out by extrapolating how Israeli Arabs would have good growth opportunities and better standard of living in any other Arab country.

Re: # 59: No No Sri..such things are not really topics to be discussed. remember Stuka is arab wanna be Indian code jockey longing for chakwalistan or some other mythical land. :-)

Here is a nugget...if the Jews had the oil istead of the arabs...imagine all the conspiracy theories. Stuka, now that you are in californayai..make sure you visit Redstone (now that muslim Cruise has been dumped) and see if they can finance your long awaited wish for a feature length ``Elders of Zion``.

Ahmedinejad is basically a product of the Islamic Revolution. It shows us what would happen to the Islamic Republics when their generations of jehadi rhetoric creates the next generation of political leaders. ..............what we see is what the Ayotollah`s wanted with their next generation of people.........it is a hopeless situation and US would now rue the day they did not deal with Ayotollah Khomeni. US should not let Nasrallah survive if it has to ensure that the proxy war in Lebanon should not continue. They must also ensure that the Iranian Ayotollahs are eliminated because Ahmedinejad is just a dog licking the feet of these Ayotollahs. ........you take care of the master and the dogs would just shoo away..........

Re: # 58

Calling Ahmedinejad a lowly Ayotollah licking dog should infact gladden the hearts of the Islamists.................surprising that they take it as an affront!!
