kuntakinte: Surely you must be an expert on Roots. As you know, at the root of the hair of each beard sits a little man who fertilizes the area around the root. This little man wears a uniform that dares not take off..

So, as bjkumar points out - beards simply grow back. The problem is at the Root. As Kuntakinte you must understand that.

So I guess it is agreed....we form the new Young Turks and kill all people who either have now, or are thinking of getting a Koran or visit any of the mosques. After we get rid of the first generation, we need some forced electrolysis to make sure none of the future gens grow beards.

Lets brains storm...what else do we need to do to make sure no one thinks of religion again?

[eliminate everyone with a beard]

Sir, the problem with the "beards" is...what has forever been the problem with beards.

They ALWAYS grow themselves back! :)

Short of electrolysis, little else works.

Re: # 84 Then it becomes our responsibility to let the truth reach to the people of Pakistan through:


YOUTUBE
GOOGLE VIDEO
YAHOO VIDEO
iFILM
MSN VIDEO
AOL VIDEO.

We will have to carry the torch from here on.

....a year or so ago, there was a piece in a pakistani newspaper, stating that a minister had physically beaten up a secretary or assistant secretary (?) level person, who was working in the minister's team........the minister was a young guy.....while secretaries etc. are the senior most positions in pakistan's civil service......

i asked some people who were listening to the news, about who had been embarrased in this situation......the secretary or the minister......all these guys were very senior individuals in their professions, and quite educated....

.....other than one, everyone replied, "Secretary has been embarrassed," implying that if someone physically beats up another, it is the person getting beat up who is to be blamed and who has embarassed himself......this crowd included a very senior ex-member of pakistan's judiciary....

.......i think, this, in a nutshell, is the social viewpoint (or what it has been reduced to) in pakistan.......i.e. its the rule of power......if you can beat up someone, you gain respect.......if you get beat up, you are considered a loser........

no rule of law......

Re: # 79

You already have your gukking attaturk; and that is what he is best capable of doing. At least he is killing citizens of Pakistan like flies - not a useless a/hole after all.

AN APPEAL TO THE CORRUPT RULING ELITE OF PAKISTAN

"In the name of God, please let remain a shred of decency and law in this country. But if you have forgotten God; if you do not recognize God; if you have no fear of God left in you, at least listen to what (Winston) Churrchill has said. After all he was once your master"

how to start a revolution and kill a mullah

Re: # 75

kuntakinte,

..... i really like the idea of an ataturk-like revolution where we can eliminate everyone with a beard and a pet sheep overnight ...... but who will lead this revolution? .... and how will we get the people moving.....

...... now listen to me, i have an idea .... the only time pakistanis move really fast is when they make a beeline for the buffet table at a wedding (or funeral) ..... so why don't we get imran khan and other intellectuals to throw a big party for the people, set up a big buffet table, and then put the mullahs and their sheep between the buffet table and the 'people' ..... as soon as aitizaz ahsan shouts, "khana khul gaya!", the people will break into a stampede and trample the mullahs to death .........

..... of course, there is always the danger that the mullahs will do an about turn and join the people in making a mad dash for the buffet ........

I think what Pakistan needs is an Ataturk-like revolution led by the intellectuals in which the religious classes are liquidated overnight. Why beat around the bush and pussy-foot around the subject...we all know (or at least should) that there is no room for people from the dark ages in todays world.

Liquidate the SOBs!
