“hope the world has seen the last of the neville chamberlains and this time it will not wait till it is too late”

Ditto! We shall not yield, we will fight them on land, on the high seas (not to worry they are scared of water and don’t know how to swim) in the air (despite their army of green angels and jinns). We shall not surrender, not give them a penny of dhimmi tax, not allow these self professed purdhans of God’s will to infringe on any of our freedoms. We wont even give them an inch of our pak sir zameen to maintain their napak cult.

I know where you are coming from. You are right these stakeholders are the ones who make our life worth living. Where as the picture of those baton-wielding Jamia Hafsa undergraduates makes you desirous of heaven. Bibi aaj maaf kur do.

P.S. my abilities to post pictures or highlight stuff on chowk is woefully lacking.

Re: # 145

tehsin mian,

calm down ...... i assure you these people cannot get out of brookyln, and if they do they will be stopped at the border of connecticut - you are safe in greenwich ........... i, on the other hand, have only southfield standing between me and dearborn !

...... on a brighter note, i was talking to my sister in pakistan and it seems that there is a backlash against the mullahs ....... my sister, who discovered islam a couple of years ago after putting on fifty pounds and finding grey hair in her head, was livid and ranted and railed against these ``uloo kay pathay maulvi!``........... i see that as a positive change in a woman who had started tormenting her kids by making them get up before breakfast to do something no one in my family had done since grandpa gopinath ...............

a groom for the hafsa brides

The Taleban in Afghanistan have used a boy of around 12 to behead a man they accused of spying for the US. Parts of a video of the beheading were broadcast on the Dubai-based al-Arabiya TV network.

The Taleban said the dead man, Ghulam Nabi, had given the US information which led to an air strike in which a senior Taleban commander died.

The video footage shows Mr Nabi being blindfolded with a chequered scarf and making what is said to be a confession.

The boy, wearing a camouflage jacket and wielding a large knife, denounces him as a spy and then cuts off his head.

#144 Ballukhan {``I think Pakistan needs to turn some province into a mullahistan and deport all those who want sharia to that place. ``}

Khan Sahib,
May I suggest that province north of Sindh, east of NWFP, and west of India? That might just solve most of Pakistan`s many problems. :)

{``The resolution states that “sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to God Almighty alone and the authority which He has delegated to the State of Pakistan through its people for being exercised within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust”. Thus it was ordained that no legislation could be adopted in Pakistan which was against the tenets of Islam``}

Rafi Sahib,
Congratulations on a well-written and interesting article. I agree with you that Tallly Banization of Pakistan started long before the Afghan model. But I would put the beginning of this curse at the unfortunate reign of Zina Owl Hag. Nobody, not even Mullah Fazloo and not even Bin Laden, has manipulated the good name of Islam to cause such wide-spread changes that for the most part have left a negative impact on an entire nation.

Nothing wrong with the loft preamble quoted above. We can make all laws and all affairs of state subservient to the will of the Almighty and the tenets of Islam. We just have to ensure that the will of the Almighty and the tenets of Islam are real, positive, compassionate, humane, decent, logical, respectful, meaningful, and good. If good is not evil, and if the most supreme good is God, then it follows that He cannot stand for anything that is negative, oppressive, cruel, abusive, unfair, illogical, and evil.

So, we can live up to the lofty ideals and still preserve the basic values of secularism, individual rights, and all the usual freedoms, without sacrificing the underlying supremacy of God and the foundation of Islam. We just need to define ``ISLAM`` much more positively than those who have hijacked the good ship. :)

salim mian,

...... ``He cannot stand for anything that is negative, oppressive, cruel, abusive, unfair, illogical, and evil`` ......... i don`t know if you can trust a god who created and presides over a place called Hell ........ as far as i can tell by his behavior this god is a vengeful, cruel and tyrannical creature of his own making ............ a psychopath, if i may say so ......... i would not trust him with writing the constitution and books for kindergarten, but you are free to do what you want ......... i will ask you how you feel about it when we meet in hell - inshallah .........

”You can all have your fun. While we do some serious stuff.”

What could be more serious then that? I am still waiting.

Re: # 154

Well done Hamid Mian! Ghalib had epitomised this long ago in his couplet by raising the question:

``Kia woh Namrood ki khudaai thi
Bandagi mein mera bhalla nah hua``

(Was it a god-hood of Namrood as being the slave or creation of him brought no good to me)

(Interestingly, `Khudaai` was corrected by google as `chudaai`)

Thank God there is no law for blaspheming against God.

#158 by teshah,

No. There`s no Law against blaspheming against God. Do you know why?

If you ever find out, you`re a Muslim.
