I am afraid so...The ones with intellect, reasoning and humanity end up leaving the fold like Tehsinabbasi. Unfortunately in order not to cause waves and hurt their family they keep such cogent arguments to themselves.

abu_sawaanis are the ones that are left and are the reason people make jsuch negative judegements about islamic societies as a whole.

Allah or ilah in arabic and arahamic is the combination of two words...

al or il which mean what is (matter) and lah which means what is not (anti matter).

Now allah or ilah claims the historian, epitemologists and linguistics etc is an abrubt action of expression to explain a power , though you may call it nature (but nature is more defined as an earthly phenomenon much similar to many other expressons to identify with Allah) or more appropriately some thing more complete and beyond our imagination

Thus some one who is there in what is and what is not...matter and antimatter in physics

This is the prime message of Muhammad that Allah is one.....

Now I donot need to say more and what i wanted to say should be deducted to some extent without any problems


Why he is the last prophet, one may easily conclude looking at developments in human conscious that they wont need prophets any more. The social, scientific and information dynamics of the world is changed. But till welfare at grass roots level is not achieved and ignorance, biasness, hatered and mischief is extinguished the good message of prophets to correct oursleves would remain in context.

So only if some of you who are educated may now seem to know more and think logically doesnot by default make theology irrelevant. And thus a woman like tasmina who has become the part of further confusion is not helping either.

Muhammad`s message was one of the most logical and practical ones among all the prophets be it christianity, hinduism or what have you. you would find his message overall more complete. Thus he takes the cake to be the best one.

You can claim now you are an athiest but then disassociate yourself from humanity and its struggle of millenia to reach to such stage when you can understand things far better and more easily then your previous generation. To reach to this stage every prophet has contributed significantly as they all came with the same message:

`Allah is one`

There is what is and what is not

There is matter and anti matter

ANd there is and was contact of such entirety to human brain or both are unseperable....

inshort due to linguistic and imagination constraint we ought to assume Allah as if he is one defined force but Allah is every thing we see and every thing what we havent seen

Thus saying `Allah is one` is one of the most beutiful human expressions of logic and rationality

Thus aint it that prophets simplified so much for so many of us who might have otherwise be looking at SUN with some fascination as if it is controlling us...

On second thought

We humans in a universal sense ``how singificant and how insignificant we are at the same time``
But we think we are significant and most significant...its another of the tragedy of commons being part of the scientific age....but only wonder whether for each burning star when it explodes do we matter?

But Allah says in Quran yes we matter because we understand and logic



However the reality is most act in a manner as if we donot matter much to each other though many have tried to prove and claim otherwise

This is the whole fuss and quite evident at Chowk: trying to prove significance of one over another...or significance of oneself

and then come the athiests who basically claim ``Humans are the Gods`` well we are not what is and what is not

we are just a small equation in this abstract universe. we are someones who have achieved something in one of the most insignificant planet in the Universe. whether what we have achived is achievement is only true because we have no comparisons which basically should mean we still remain ignorant to the larger secrets of this universe.


In one of the verses in Quran Allah says ``humans are at fault`` quite true it is because as a social group we would never overcome our pshycological dillemmas of inherent mishief so that life becomes more colorful.

Going by that standard, muslims deserve all the profiling and probing they get in the west...

Re: # 91

Abbay Heera mandii kayy qabil-e-faqar suppoot,

Have you not realized that i can`t indulge u in an intelligent discourse because ur idea of ``modernization`` and ``enlightenment STARTS and STOPS at gloating over how his daughters are ``Western`` and enlightened enough to share an ``ICE CREAM`` with random boys in privacy of their cars. Spend less time on these boards and teach them how to read so they can deviate from the family profession, or would that be too extreme for ya?

For the rest of u numbnutts, if u r a bean burrito than explain ur fixation with cow-piss first then we`ll delve in to theological matters. Baby step first bhindis.

Re: # 95

Man you guys pretend to be einsteins but only address the obvious. If i made illustrated picking nose as a JOKE then you proved beyond the shadow of doubt how I am still able to pick my nose. Am i able to discuss and question the scale of holocaust without fear of punsihment in europe? Can they still lock me up without charging me or producing me in a court of law in this day and age? If you have any doubts go talk to jose padilla and the 500 men who are locked in guantanamo, even if and when theyget released, who will reimburse them and how and with what for their immense suffering. Blacks were not allwoed to sit in the front of the bus in ur master`s country till recently, and it can all very well come back to that if not for blacks then for another group, so i understand that the greend card petition is pending hence there is an extra sense of patriotism bursting inside of you but get ur head out of ur arse and keep things in perspective. I said for all intent and purpose majority of any country can make any laws, you`ll say well they would have to be within the limist of constitution, OK , and who makes the constitution? MAJORITY RIGHT? This is not rocket science, you took political science but slept thru common sense.

In today`s modern shining India its illegal to eat beef in most part of their countries they`ll put ur ass in jail, because they think that COW IS GOD. Am i the only one who thinks this is retarded, or do you as well? But when i go to India i abide by whatever insane laws they have because when in rome..... Give the same respect to muslim countries if they majority their have decided as a MAJORITY to govern their lives with some code of coduct then when you do go their follwo their laws just like you follow western or indian laws.

Re: # 50

Oh Allah! Welcome on the Internet. Why should we bother now with the prophets or their hangons when we can communicate with Allah on the Internet. The discussion having become seriously boring let us have some respite with some humour.

There was a Sardar ji who had a delusion that he was Allah. One day he asked his friend Choudhry to believe in him , but his friend was not acquiesing and asked sardar to show at least one man or woman believing in his allah-hood he would sure be the next. The sardar immediately took him to a house. He knocked at the door. A woman came out and seeing the sardar exclaimed annoyingly by striking her forehead with the palm of her hand, ``Oe mere Allah toon fer aa gaya aein (Oh my God you have come up again)``. But sardar was quick to ask his friend, `Would you not believe in me even now?``

Stuka:
How do you separate the religion from the adherents when they themselves showcase such lovely monikers as Hezbollah, Jaish E Muhammed, Al Aksa Martyr`s brigade etc etc. From philippines to the US..there is a singular problem in this world. And no amount of chutiya punjabiyat cogsiveness is going to solve it..only the collective danda of the kaffir.

Dude, you are a liar. Beef is very much available in India. It is not commonly available; no doubt. But all luxury hotels will serve you steak and you can also get beef in Muslim majority neighboroods. I did hotel management and I learnt to grill a steak in college in India.

Where the hell did you get your information about beef availablity in India. Have you ever been to India? I am not familiar with north India, but beef is very much available in all the big cities in South India. In Kerala some of the Hindu communities cook and eat beef at home (this is the info from one of my Malayalee roommate). I my self had beef biryani in Hyderabad and yes my parents did not beat me up :) In north eastern states of India, beef is eaten by lot of communities. Every community has their own dietary habits.

Re: # 103, abu_safwan saheb,

This is too much ignorance about India. Or you have closed your eyes permanently,... I mean to avoid embarrassment you have stopped looking towards India. Or the poison of hatred has penetrated deep into your nerve centers. Any way, on my part I wish to extend my hand of friendship and invite you to visit me. I would serve you BEEF at my home if you can spare some time from your busy schedule of praying, preaching and stitching burkas.

``you took political science but slept thru common sense.``

HAHA, that`s a good one.

Abu, at the risk of offending all my good friends, I would say (seriously, no sarcasm here - DrDr, please note) you are the only one whose point of view I can understand. I can`t see how democracy can be called anything but the rule (to push the point, one can even assert, dictatorship) of the majority, created, implemented, maintained according to the values, wishes, desires, and dreams of the majority.

Abu, it can`t be a secret from you that democracy or any other cracy is not the issue here. The issue is that some Pakistani ``Muslims`` have lost all respect and regard for Islam. So even if there was *democracy* and that democracy tried to implement Islam, they would complain just as loudly.

There is a new breed of Hindu Muslims in Pakistan - Muslims in name but Hindu in thought, desire, and sensibility. There is nothing you can do, abu, that will please them in the least; short of getting rid of Islam from all public life.

I am just Dozens of Taslimas on chowk. I wonder these Chowk Taslimas working so hard to get attentions will ever be famous like Taslima?

Anyway, my message for these little chowk Taslimas is keep working hard......spread more hatred on chowk....insult Muslims and Pakistanis...

You are really highly intellectuals of chowk...........the famous.com of intellectuals who are working all up to insult Prophet(PBUH)............

Why?

Just for their own invisible insecurities......I am glad that they have the great time pass in insulting our prophet(pbuh) and Muslims and Pakistanis..............

Very productive...........LOL
