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"

............Javed Choudry (Zero Point)

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.

....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......

sad news...GEO has become the latest victim of The General's paranoia. It has been ordered to shut own. :-(

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.

[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.

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?

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.

Re: # 83

Romair:

I would say that people standing / sitting around and watching should be embarrassed. The secretary who got beaten should have felt humiliated.

Minister must have been a bully, he would have needed his boss's presence to be embarrassed.

There is nothing in it for the secretary to be embarrassed.

#91 - You are both saying that you would like to kill all people with beards, control peoples thoughts, and force surgical procedures on the population....sounds like Nazism.

I also remember you saying (some posts ago) that you wouldn't dare speak your beliefs in public in Pakistan. So let me get this straight...you do all the talking on the net and wouldn't dare utter a peep otherwise....is that about right? Hamidm...since you do live in Detroit it may be wise for your bullshit within reasonable limits because even this cowardly net based machoism of yours falls into legal gray areas nowadays and could get you locked up in a real situation...something you are not used to.

Re: # 94

zyxius,

... look, i am not talking about killing 'people' with beards - some of my best friends have beards and i myself used to have one ......... i am talking about killing 'vermin' with beards ..... people and vermin - they are not the same thing .... how do you know vermin? ...... well, it is like pornography - you know it when you see it .....a beard, maswak, bad body odor, a pet sheep on a leash, shaven armpits, a tasbeeh, the mark of the devil on the forehead, bruised and calloused ankles, a lota, mumbling in arabic and a suicide belt are all good indicators .....
