In due course of time, Hindus will cease to be Hindus in the physical sense ....

You are free. You are free to go to your Kabrastan and Smashan Bhumi and any other place of mayhem and violence
in this state of Pakistan. You may use Kalashinov Ak-47 or zammokas that has nothing to do with the business of
the state.

Tahmed32 {"All Pakistanis need to shed their differences at this time and join hands to get rid of dictatorship. There will be time enough later for politics as usual."}

Hypo Chacha Al Butteesi:

You guys want Urdu-speaking Mohajirs in Karachi and Hyderabad to start demonstrating against Perv the Dick Traitor. You want us to use our sizable presence and significant wealth overseas to influence western politicians to bring pressure on Mushy. You want us to support Bezamir Bhutni and Najaaiz Sharif so that either one of them can come to power. Once in power, these proven civilian dictators and corrupt leaders will bring back the military to start killing Mohajirs by the thousands. At least Mushy put an end to the slaughter of Mohajirs by their own military.

No deal. You guys can go climb the Minar-e-Pakiland and jump into the Ravi in the middle of December.

{"The Battle for Pakistan"}

Khan Sahib,
Really? Is it true that you are somehow related to the gallant warrior, "Ghazi "Tiger" Niazi? Considering how the Niazis battle for Pakistan, I am placing my bet on Ghazi Jagjit Singh Arora - at least he taught the "Ghazi if we win and Shaheed if we die" Tiger how to sing like a bulbul.

Re: # 66

GT mian,

.... you are very kind in your assessment of paki intelligence, but i can assure you that you have been misled ...... as i have said before, pakistanis are nothing but indians with a bad attitude, and punjabis are pakistanis with bad attitudes ......... as for pathans, it is not a race or a creed - it is a state of mind that can overcome any unfortunate human being at any time ........

..... as it says in the only book that most pakis have ever read, "verily, we are doomed !"

p.s. i love the word 'verily'.. how come no one ever uses it in daily conversation ?

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!

Doesn't Masadi sahib remind you of the Bus driver lady from South Park, especialy when he gets upset. :-)

Dear Hamid:

You say: "all my frieds and family are pakistanis ....... so no, i do not have faith in the intelligence of my fellow pakistanis ....... masadi is a prime example".

Now, I do not have as many Pakistani friends as you do. Most of the Pakistanis I interact with (almost daily) are here in chowk. In my opinion, they seem very bright, creative and informed. At the least, they seem more intelligent than us horrible hindoos. (Gosh, I never thought that I would say this).

{" the Army against its own people.... Hardly surprising since crooks, criminals and even terrorists (according to the Canadian Supreme Court the MQM is a terrorist organization) are sitting at the helm of affairs. "}

Imran Sahib,
First of all, please allow me to offer my sympathies to you for Huge Grant stealing your Aunt Jemima syrup. Let me assure you that this weasel will do anyone, anywhere, anytime - remember the Divine incident in LA where he had a real Aunt Jemima applying syrup to the waffle. Anyway, Huge Grant lost Liz Hurley to some Injun Coomar guy - his loss.

Now, I have an issue with your hatred of Urdu-speaking Mohajirs. You even labeled the MQM as a terrorist organization. I am glad that you don't think of Alkayda, the Tally Ban, and the JI dudes who hauled your ass to the police as terrorists.

O great captain, my captain, you seem to have lost your keen perception, your rapid bowling, and your patient batting. The image of a disheveled "quintogenarian" being attacked by pygmies in Lahore was very disappointing to many of your avid fans.

Now you have really done it - you have, like that other bastion of aryan purity, Hypo Chacha Al Butteesi, started to pick on dark-skinned Mohajirs. Next, you will probably preach to the cheap seats for rapid applause as you passionately argue against the repatriation of "dirty" Biharis from Bangladesh. Maybe the Jewish Princess knew a lot more than most Pakis do.

In no particluar context i just have to say HamidM is the best thing thats ever happened to Pakistani politics.

I hope you dont just waste your breath on chowk, in all seriousness you should write your own book. All Pakis could use a good laugh in these sad times.

Maybe Masadi sahab could write the intro :)

Some fool has red flagged my post #54 and #57, might I ask why? Or is it just some moronic tendency? They want to get me banned from here, following in the footsteps of the dictator. Go right ahead, I don't give a damn, nothing so out of the ordinary that I am stating, its all out now, banning me wont do a damn thing to mask the facts....

I can’t believe some people are advising imran khan to quit politics, we don’t want him to quit what we want is dozens more like imran khan. To break the stranglehold of mullahs and feudals, we need educated middle class men and women to enter politics if we are to have a thriving democracy.

Tahmed doesn't like Imran because Imran has been able to point to the source of all our troubles, the US elite and its occupation force, and its neo imperialist policies. Khan is as much capable as ZAB of developing grass roots support, he just needs a start getting past the political muck hole, that describes the matrix that envelopes the Pakistani public. Once he gets that start, that the ZAB did under Ayub for example, he will fluorish as a people supporter. How to deceive the deceivers is that task he has to figure out how to achieve first, more important than any student protest, at the current time. Tahmed wants to use him to get rid of Musharraf and then would spit him out, much like the Americans spit out Pakistan after using and abusing it and destroying our political institutions using their occupation force. An immoral person like tahmed should be recognized by all as public enemy. He is stabbing our people and those that sacrifice for them (like Imran) in the back....

hamidm #53 I agree with GT #56 here. We are talking "situational competence". Imran Khan would I agree be way beyond his depth as prime minister or even as political comentator. But no one is talking of electing Imran Khan, nor does he stand a chance given his that his "situational competence" does not extend into either developing grass-roots organization that PPP has excelled in e.g., or in making a ZAB-like pitch that appeals to the true "silent majority" of Pakistan (the poor whom you joke about as Abdul Paki).

But Imran Khan has the image of being socially conscious, and popular sports star, and as such is useful for Job 1 - putting an end to dictatorship. He is yet another effective demonstration in exposing Musharraf's fraudulent claims of being the Great Modernizer. The cops may be laughing at the arrest which not only made headlines around the world and also no doubt gave points to ponder to many at the seemingly odd sight of religious fanatics coming to musharraf's aid. Rest assured their big boss Musharraf was not.

Pak. students protest Imran's detention

Lahore (PTI): Hundreds of Pakistan's Punjab University students on Friday protested against the role played by the students' wing of the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami in the arrest of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan.

The protest on the campus here was unprecedented in the province of Punjab, where all educational institutions have for decades been a stronghold of the Islami Jamiat Tulaba (IJT), the Jamaat's student wing that came to prominence during the tenure of late military dictator Gen Zia-ul-Haq.

Hundreds of students, including girls, chanted slogans against the IJT during protests on Thursday and Friday. A large number of students have quit their IJT membership to join protesters shouting "Go Jamiat go".

Imran Khan, the chief of the Tehreek-e-Insaf party, was detained by IJT members and handed over to police when he came to the university on Wednesday to join a student protest. He has been charged under the Anti-Terrorism Act and is being held in the Dera Ghazi Khan Jail in Punjab province.

During the protests, students cheered the former cricket captain by chanting "Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, Imran Khan".

"This is unprecedented. Thousands of students have united against the IJT," a university teacher said. The IJT has suspended 17 members involved in manhandling Khan but the Tehreek-e-Insaf has accused the Jamaat of "betraying" its chief.

Law student Rai Kashif, who quit his IJT membership, said: "A large number of law students have quit IJT. The Jamiat has cheated us."

Women students said they were tired of being "harassed" by the IJT. "We support the lifting of emergency and Imran Khan is the leader of progressive and modern Pakistan," one of them said.
