Allama Iqbal- Is he still relevant?

Re: # 104 Salim

Tahmed is a hypocrite and a bundle of contradictions. These characteristics overwhelm whatever positive aspects he has in his personality. His kind are very dangerous, because they have an IQ high enough to influence others, but not high enough to sift through the good and the bad. As a result, their influence tends to be generally bad. He also suffers from a superiority (`I am right`) complex. I find it useful and hopefully educational to others to puncture his bubble. Some Punjabis (and I say this in all seriousness, being one myself) are full of themselves. Fortunately, in India, we are a minority, and not taken very seriously.

Yasser,

Iqbal was a poet. Therefore, he ought to be considered exempt from such trivial, ordinary, and practical considerations as rules of logic, making sense, being consistent, etc.

Even more, he must be considered absolutely exempt from...

...being RELEVANT!

By definition, poets are never relevant and forever are! If that sounds inconsistent...

...then you have it!

PewResearch {`` Tahmed, ...I`ll discuss matters of substance when you are able to rise above petty matters.``}

Pew Janab,
The senile old Chacha Paindoo will not rise above mediocrity in his lifetime, short as it is. The man chooses to pontificate on Islamic matters with the venom and passion of a newly-circumscribed Muslim Pope. Yet, when it comes to compassion for fellow Muslims, the hypocrite is about as generous as the tightest baniya - and I am not necessarily referring to his rectum either, which is about as loose as the morals of the Paki Punju inhabitants of Hira Mandi. In summary, Chacha Chaar Sau Bees is devoted to licking the unwashed TP-rubbed white bums of his gora masters in left, right, left, right, pajama dheela topi tight manner. :)

Re: # 102 Tahmed

I thought that you were done with me! And my nick still gives you hernia. Ha! Ha! Ha!
I`ll discuss matters of substance when you are able to rise above petty matters.

Zeemax #99 So, what you are saying is that the sequence of events was - the destruction of the American cultural center in Islamabad, which brought rushdie to the attention of the persian mullahs, who issued the fatwa to kill him. While this is I assume the correct chronology of events, the fact remains that the reason rushdie is world famous is because of that fatwa, not because of the attack on the American cultural center (which even had forgotten about).

as for pepe le pew, he is no doubt doing scholarly research to prove that India is the land of the free and massive poverty, dalits, and burning brides, and female infanticide are only ISI propaganda. :-)

pew-research-but-actually-pandit-hate: what part of ``worry about the filth in hindu society`` before pontificating on the ills of muslim society dont you understand?

tahmed32,

But tahmed, what I find amusing is that this pukeresearch is even willing to make ME an ally against you ... LoL ... Haha ....

#88 by tahmed32,

Agreed except for the last line.

I was just pointing to that you don`t know facts when you said the `Iranian jahil Mullahs` started it all. Actually it was the US cultural centre gutting in Islamabad which brought the matter to the attention of the Iranians and they acted officially in issuing the fatwa ... not just street protests.

Re: # 48

Your ideas are in a way incorporated in Election law presently. Nobody can stand for election unless college graduate is towards that direction as laws made by general. So atleast elected people are not dumb though people who elect them may not be bright.

Re: # 94 Tahmed

Repeat. I don`t care what you think, except about exposing your pompous ignorance.

``off to some indian board and worry about the filth in hindu society. instead of pretending to be an american research organization commenting from mt. olympus on the ills of muslim society.``

Most who live in non-Muslim societies are free individuals who can choose to read whatever they want, think whatever they want, write whatever they want. When you absorb the simplicity of this principle, you will quit making the assertions that earned you the `village idiot` title. You cannot dictate what I read or write, and where I do. I am free to illuminate your ignorance.

Here is another chutyatic observation from you: `off to some indian board `

Out of the millions of posts that you have written on Chowk, have you bothered even once to read the title in the titlebar: Chowk-Identities of India Pakistan? (note the order in which the countries are called out?)

pew-man: enough time wasted with you. last post to you, until i decide it is time to tell you to pew-off once again.

#93 a man who takes on the name of a research organization is in no position to call anyone pompous.

pew-man: new pew-off to some indian board and worry about the filth in hindu society. instead of pretending to be an american research organization commenting from mt. olympus on the ills of muslim society.

Re: # 92 Tahmed

I don`t care what you think, except about exposing your pompous ignorance. You obviously knew nothing about the Booker Prize (a well read person would not made the gaffe that you did). A discussion with you will be illuminating for you, but not for me.

#91 you care about the discussions. i had to tell you twice to f.o. before you stopped addressing posts to me.

Re: # 90 Tahmed

Who cares about a discussion? More important: bare the facts for all to see. Let them decide whether you qualify as one or not!
