Islam is a jinxed religion. Born with congenital defects. Too bad it cannot be reformed. Pakistan is a jinxed country because it was created with idea that Indian Islamists will always be second class citizens. West proves that they will be second class citizens anywhere in the world.

Well done dear Paracha! But are we not hostage to the `sonic-terrorism` of the Holy Loudspeaker (PBUI) against which even the almighty Commando has failed miserably? Added to it, the mulla have now extended their mulla-gardi by calling at each house enblock and telling the residents to come to a particular mulla-mosque. We can only pray now ``May God save us and the Islam from the mulla``.

uk is way behind france in mixed marriages.

in uk 5% of pak-brits males are married to white-brits and 1% of pak-brits females are married to white brits, so they have a long to go before they can match france.

Eid Mubarak / Diwali Mubarak to Chowkies & Chowk-Staff.

I see #29 has aroused some interest, though #31 by iron_mask thinks it was `unwittingly` hitting the nail on the head. Why unwitting? I`ve never been an apologist and been saying the same things all along. But I`ll try to comment later individually.

Ref krbhatti #1

[-women will be considered creatures with holes only; and to use these holes to put something in them to get the numbers of faithfull to multiply. That is what mullahs beleive...]

This is likely to get banned but what the heck!

An American, An Englishman and an Arab were travelling together.

The American said, ``I have four sons, and if I have one more, I will have enough for a basketball team.``

The Englishman said, ``I have ten sons and if I have one more, I will have enough for a cricket team.``

The Arab said, ``Allah has been kind to me. I have seventeen wives and if I marry once more, I will have a golf course.``

Naqsh, Mlechha literally was someone who did dirty work, someone who kept unclean. The term was used to describe such warring foreign tribes as the Huns and the Sakas, against whom Indians often had to defend themselves.

Ref parthaab #27

[I really am very very fed up to the back teeth with people of ALL religions - Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Bhuddists, and this includes their religious leaders, such as Immams, Priests, Ministers, Bishops, nuns, Rabbis, etc etc - publicising their religions in all public places by their wearing of various regalia, objects and clothing, head coverings etc.

I do NOT wish to know, unsolicited, the personal religious beliefs of people I might see in my environment. Instead, I wish to exercise MY right to walk down the street or shop or go wherever I want in public places and NOT have to think about the religious persuasion of people I might see or encounter. Why should THESE people have the right to impose the sight of THEIR religious symbols and garb onto ME and MY line or field of vision, or into MY interactions with THEM.

So, I suggest that the display of ALL such symbols in public should be CRIMINALISED, and that the wearer should ONLY be permitted by law to wear these in THEIR closed places of worship or THEIR homes.]

Aren`t you the pseudo-secularist demanding special privileges for minorities in India?

Why don`t you demand the abolition of the Haj subsidy as the first step in confining religion to one`s home and places of worship?

How about demanding that Indian Christians or Muslims have no right to convert people? Isn`t conversion pushing their religion into other people`s faces?

We all know you for the hypocritical Commie muthaf@#%er that you are!

You may be right....

from wiki article on nazi germany:

Recent research by academics such as Götz Aly has emphasized the role of the extensive Nazi welfare programmes that supposedly helped maintain public support for the regime that lasted long into the war. The German community was nationalized and labor and entertainment - from festivals, to vacation trips and traveling cinemas - were all made a part of the ``Strength through Joy`` (Kraft durch Freude) program. Also crucial to the building of loyalty and comradeship was the implementation of the National Labor Service and the Hitler Youth Organization, with the former being compulsory and the latter consisting of nearly six million boys and girls. In addition to a number of architectural projects that were undertaken, the construction of the Autobahn made it the first National Motor Highway system in the world. It should be noted that between 1933 and 1936, Germany outpaced the United States in construction, automobile production, unemployment and employment. All in all, the New Reich gave Germans confidence and naturally instilled loyalty.

Other issues in Nazi Germany were Animal rights [2], Environmentalism [3], [4], and Public health [5], [6]

I`ve only been joking with my last couple of posts but please don`t be fooled into believing that a similar party cannot rise to power again in Europe. And this time it will the Muslims who will join the Jews in the gas chambers. UNLESS they become successful, visibly successful, integrated members of EU society and leave their cultural baggage behind.

Sometimes people hide behind ``the devil`s advocate`` to cover their own views, and that`s why people who claim to be such should be questioned and understood. And you never know Naqshbandi, there are people here who would completely agree with what you`ve put forth.
