wow, cool!

It takes a lot of patience to indulge in a conversation with these kind.

[[Great article, paracha sahab. Also beware of fundoos as they might issue a fatwa against you.]]

Well, this just might give me the idea for a seaquel to this article. ``A Fatwa against fatwa!``

A good piece to read. Liked it Nadeem.

Me and a Pakistani friend gossipped abt a kudi who came to our shop. After all the fun I asked my Pak friend abt Sharis laws in Pakistan. He said with conviction that supports them and everybody in Pakistan shud follow them. Though I was shocked at such penchant for ancient laws in modern days...that too from a University graduate, I found the bifaciality of modern men in him. Education is not educating people any more. It applies to Indians of Gujarat variety as well.

ha! your article embodies my own feelings towards these strikes, the destruction of property & interruption of daily routine, and Osama (er...except for the pimple bit). it`s too bad we never could decide - as a nation - what exactly our `cause` should be. but worse still is the underlying knowledge that even if we were to decide on it, staying focused is not our forte.

now, if you`ll excuse me, i think i`ll download some porn... :)

great satire Paracha Sahib -- the fish face is more like a malignant melanoma on the nose of the Muslim community -- only way to get rid of it is to cut the nose with it -- lest it kills.

````President Bush addressed the nation on some of the networks. NBC and CBS refused to preempt `Friends` and `Survivor` for the president. So God forbid, let`s hope the enemy never attacks on a Thursday night.`` —Jay Leno``(beenishmoeed)

As Rodney Dangerfield would say -- I tell ya I get no respect -- I asked my old man (Bush Senior) if I could go ice-skating on the lake (Irak). He told me, ``Wait til it gets warmer.``

``President Bush addressed the nation on some of the networks. NBC and CBS refused to preempt `Friends` and `Survivor` for the president. So God forbid, let`s hope the enemy never attacks on a Thursday night.`` —Jay Leno

``More and more facts coming out about Osama bin Laden. You know, he never sleeps in the same place two nights in a row, just like Clinton.`` —Jay Leno

`Allied forces have hit all the Taliban military installations and bases. To give you an idea how successful these strikes have been: the Taliban has been telling young men that when they get to heaven, there may not be enough virgins to go around. They were promised 72. Now they are down to 45, but were told, `Your virgins may vary.`` —Jay Leno

``There was a rumor that Jesse Jackson was going to go over there to talk with the Taliban, apparently they were having trouble rhyming the word Jihad.`` —Jay Leno

NFP,
Once again, Dil khush kitha.

Any significance for the pimple analogy? Something painful and disgusting, yet part of the body? Something that represents moving from puberty to maturity, period of great discoveries, yet slippery when wet?
