he`s full of it...like all pakis, he`s got an amazing ability to delude himself by making ridiculous comparisons that only muslims/pakis buy...

capt clueless tried to pull that after 9/11 too...told us the real problem in the world was hindu terrorism because of the tamil tigers...posted a bunch of material to prove it...problem was, nobody else bought it..pakis were deported in bulk and he`s now cooling his heels in canuckistan....

Arjun, now go easy on Naqsh who is a wise man, and very atypical.

yes...that`s the same thing as a million $ reward for rushdie`s head...or the speaker of the punjab assembly saying he`d kill rushdie himself..or the minister of religion of the land of the pure saying suicide bombings against rushdie are justified...

#59 by tahmed32,

Did the US cultural centre attack in Islamabad come before or after the Iranian fatwa? I think it was before.

Re: # 56 Naqsh

Khomeini was no Wahabbi - he started it with the infamous Rushdie fatwa

From Tom Friedman`s NYT opinion piece:

``But since the Islamic parties have monopolized the mosques and the authoritarian regimes have monopolized the public square, anyone trying to articulate an Arab Fourth Way today “is competing against either God or the state — and between God and the state, what room is left for secular democrats?” asked Palestinian pollster Khalil Shikaki.
Only weeds can grow there — small nihilist weeds, like Fatah al Islam in Lebanon or Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia in Iraq or Islamic Jihad in Gaza. And they are growing.``

Sums up the way ahead for Pakstan. Mend your ways - little time left!

naqshbandi #56 good point. I tried reading his book to see what the fuss was about, and found it to be so dull i stopped reading after three pages. Like all bores, khotay da sir rushdie is trying to get attention by writing articles ridiculing people`s religious feelings - just like on chowk where the more stupid the poster, the more insulting his posts to some community since that is the only way anyone will pay attention to him.

It is these jahil irani mullahs, who by issuing the fatwa, gave this bore so much prominence. if they had not done so, no one would have heard of rushdie. and now the pakistani mullahs and the half-brained son of zia-ul-haq are making fools out of themselves and giving this khotay da sir even more attention.

Allamah Sahib himself was knighted by the British, of course...

I wish that the minority of Wahabi extremists who call themselves Muslims and use Islam to gain political points would realise the harm they are doing to the image of Muslims worldwide when they start protesting and burning books at the most trivial of things. Rushdie got a knighthood. So what? Get over it. If you don`t like his books,just don`t buy them.

He is a British citizen and the Brits have a right to honour him if they want; I don`t like the guy after he wrote Satanic Verses but I think this reaction is unjustified.

If Muslims hadn`t given him so much prominence the idiot would now be a forgotten novelist or someone most people outside of literary circles had not even heard of!

I was never quite impressed by Sir, Allama Iqbal`s ideology, but, recently I started reading his few poetry books, and I realized Pakistan needs his kind of ideology more than ever....And his ideology is not only relevant for current Pakistani chaos, but, is vital,if Pakistanis wish to survive..........

We need another Shaheen like Quaid_e-Azam.................

And Imran Khan fits in to that picture perfect...........



Long live, our Shaheen, Imran Khan................Imran Khan zinda bad..............

Allama Iqbal got his inspirations from baba Khushaal Khan Khattack...........and I can safely say, Khan Baba was the actual Shaheen man........................

Sorry, zeemax..............
