Killing Darwin

The local Communist Party leader claims the Islamists have been courteous to the commies as their goals have become one - the defeat of American capitalist pigs. Unlike say fifteen or so years ago when the Islamist fuks and were lap dogs of the American capitalist pigs sent out to do the dirty work.

Paracha sahib, it is sad to see both the commies and the fundoos share the same vision when it comes to economy. Both of them want the big-Moma government. The same big-Moma that can feed her milk to little fundoos and little commies.

Yes the communists of Russia are dead. Does that mean all those card-carrying communist Pakistanis are dead too? Heck no! These neo-commies are different. They now carry little chavez or little-Nejat idols in their hearts.

In the end our Des is full of fundoos and commies, may be the only losers are those Darwinists.

btw -- Pracha sahib Darwinism and Communism are not synonymous -- one is for the survival of the fittest -- the other is for the survival of the unfittest.....quite a difference don`t you think?

sick and tired of the bhajans and artees before the incredulously frowning Ganesh -- and the bejwelled putteeburtaa Indian naarees crying their hearts out at the drop the hat in the dismal soap operas on the Zee TV with eye-hurting ear splitting sound effects -- I got for a short while a couple of Pakistani channels and Geo TV for a change of taste in desi entertainment.

oh my God what a dreadful mistake -- the curse that has befallen Pakistan TV is the not only Islam but the Alzeimer`s Islam -- today they learn all day and night about Islam and the exposition of its finer points for the trillionth time -- tomorrow morning they forget everything -- have to restart studying Islam anew for the zillionth time.

even though they are born with Azaan in their ears -- they grow up in madarassas and they die in madarassas -- studying Islam over and over again -- every weekend -- and every day five times -- and still they don’t feel they remember anything -- they have to bring it on Pakistan TV as well -- all day all night!

now where do you think Pracha sahib is the time -- and where is the space -- for Darwinism or for Evolution in the Islam-forgetting minds and hearts of our Pakistani almomineens -- as Zafar would say: ``etnee jagah kahaN hai dil-e dagh daar meiN``...

and contrary to the Bhajans .....they don’t even sing good – so I had to get rid of the channels fast rather reluctantly....with apology to my Pakistani brethren......:)

Hasan saheb, don`t you get Star One on your cable/DTH? You can watch the The Comedy Show Ha Ha Ha (the best) and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge (second best) for a change. Why watch those stupid saas-bahu serials?

Re: # 3

Hasan,

Ur post reminded me of some hypocritical believers in Gujarat. Once I was travelling by an early morning train to Baroda from Ahmedabad. Somewhere after Nadiad I was disturbed by bhajan dickheads in train. They are daily commuters. They are singing: .....kashta kaapo....sanmati aapo... (in Gujarati it means Oh Devi/demolish all my problems/give me good mind).

The guy who`s leading the song himself occupied two-persons sitting area. There were old women standing but this dickhead was singing....sanmati aapo (give me wisdom/good mind). How hypocritical?

This hypocricy continues everyday coz they are daily commuters.

Vah vah VRVji,

dhimmitude dikhao aur miyon ki chaploosi karo. BTW i have been on a passenger train between Karnavati and Surat and I did not finnd the Bhajan singers hypoctitical at all. They persuaded their fellow passenger every time to squeeze a little more to accomdate a few more of them and shared their food and water with those who appeared to have none. This 255 kilometer thanks to the socialist, secularist and communists took 11 hours and all my life in India I have seen only these hypocritical Bhajanwalas and Sardars (also Bhajanwalas but more likely harbhajanwalas do something similar).

Ishwar aapko sadbuddhi de.

Re: # 23

Senior Sanatani,

I saw ur posts on Dr. Hoodbhoy board. It looks like that I can take liberty here to reply u but I prefer not to looking at ur age.

I understand that u were rooted out from ur homeland and relocated to the new Dominion India. Ditto Mr. Ahmed32 (the other way) but look at what he writes (despite his anti-India jibes)? It`s easy to spew hatred.

As a citizen moving in public I find this bhajan business as nuisance. Overtly religious people are not really good people (that`s my observation). Look at urself. U bigmouth abt Hindu-this Hindu-that and u evoke nothing but disdain. As for Karnavati, ur ideological masters cudnt change the name despite having had a resolution passed in Gujarat Assembly whilst the Vajpayee-headed govt ruled at the Centre zt the same time.

The author writes against the religious fanatics and people like nasah writes stuff that cant be called miya-type, then why u are so uncontrollable that u dont use the basic fatcs in ur posts?

What`s wrong with u? tell me if u are an RSS activist then I write in a language so that u wud understand my point. Btw, I oppose public nuisance and mind u that all freedoms in India are subject to public order. If u want to know more: I am an agnostic. I dont believe in any god much less the stones/totems. Do u think u go to Indra Sabha and eff Rambha, Uravasi, Menaka & Tilottama? They were effed by billions of people by now. There wud be nothing but BIG black-holes there. Wanna go to Heaven/Indra Sabha?

Last but not the least. Discuss on issues with due respect given. I dont keep any crap given to me..I`d give it back. So pl keep ur lingo in control and discuss ur points.

VRV.

nadeem, once again a great article. If I come to Pakistan, I would like to smoke a big fat bowl of ganja with you man. You seem like one of the chillest pakistanis.

If religion were just a private club for loonies and the misguided and those being taken advantage of, carrying on its practices behind closed doors with its incense and its candles and its dressing up and its peculiar rituals and its collections, that would be okay, more or less.

But it isn`t just a private club. It has taken custody of ``good``. Religion claims the right to determine what is good, and what is bad/evil, and it appropriates unto itself the right to tell the rest of us what to think and how to think on various subjects, and what `being bad` is.

We are put in this club or that (Muslim, Christian, Protestant, Church of the Yellow Rabbit) before we can think for ourselves. There, often, we tend to stay, even once we can think for ourselves. The music may be rather nice. The social gatherings may be rather nice. What being religious (and therefore righteous?) says about us may be rather nice. Too nice to leave, whatever we believe.

If religion can`t say, hand on heart, ``this is definitely what a god thinks, he told us so``, then they should shut up and stop making it up.

The problem with debates on religion is that they turn into an ``us-versus-them`` affair with all secularists branded as unreconstructed atheists and enemies of the faith, and all believers as irrational and fanatical.

Will the world ever manage to get rid of religion? Probably not. We are stuck with it.
I am always shocked when those who consider themselves to be `intelligent` (I am thinking of Bush and Blair, among others) continue to believe that their lives are controlled by a man who lives in the sky.

If an alien landed from another planet and was told `I have never seen God, I just know he`s there, and he can see what everyone is doing at the same time, and I go into a building and sing songs to Him..` they would faint with incredulity.

Not to mention `when I am dead, I will carry on living, if I behave myself now`...

Unfortunately people who believe this sort of stuff have the ear and maybe heart (if not brain) of the world`s only remaining super-power. Christianity doesn`t have the monopoly on religious bigots. Religion and its obsession with genitalia may be mildly amusing at first glance....but sadly I don`t think it`s harmless and I don`t think it`s going away.

Re: # 1 ParthaAB

My understanding is that any religion is a set of ideas that challenges an older, rigidly established, regimented and retrograde set of ideas during its infancy, builds up a following of like-minded people and later it develops into a similarly rigid, regimented and retrograde system itself. In this respect communism is also as good or bad as any other religion, although it professes to be against religion as such.

Its also not correct to say that all believers are prudes and intolerant towards debate and doubts. It depends upon the environment one is brought up in (I don`t mean family background exactly). Those who branded their opponents ``enemy of the people`` at the drop of a hat were as closed-minded as the worst religious fanatic around.

Someone believing that his life is controlled by Gods in the skies shocks you, but how can you be sure that under more favorable circumstances, Communists wouldn`t have conferred the same status upon Marx or Lenin, say 200 years on?
