HP:
I don't think you need to be upset.
The people who don't know the politics of Pakistan will judge by the newspaper.
There is no question that Benazir during her first and second stint in power accepted Primeministership after lot of compromises.
But we need to give her credit where it is due.
She came to Pakistan knowing all the risks. Her caravan was blasted the day she came. I thought she will will return. She continued with her struggle until she was martyred.
She was courageous lady. No doubt.

Majumdar:109
Still it does not prevent anyone from keeping his opinion within the framework of law.

Rashid mian,

(Is bombing in mosque, issuing Fatwa at the behest of powerful, using Djinn as a source of energy Islam. First clarify what is Islam. )

To be fair to Masadi sahib, he does not believe any of the above to be Islam.

Regards

Masadi:
Does anyone has a right to keep his opinion.
Pervez HoodBhoy never claimed to be a champion of Islam.
Whatever is his capability, he has gone beyond his duty as a teacher to work gor progress of science and scientific way of thinking in Pakistan.
I have a right to disagree.

{Finally, he is guided by his personal hatred of religion and particularly Islam, in Pakistan's context which colors and distorts all his so-called analysis. Like all fundamentalists facts become secondary to his own prejudice and ideology}
You tell me what is Islam. Is bombing in mosque, issuing Fatwa at the behest of powerful, using Djinn as a source of energy Islam. First clarify what is Islam.
You wrote
{The guy is a disgrace to science and the scientific mindset. Like I said he is not only an ignoramus,}
{ he misuses his authority in physics to pass judgment on political and social issues because the classical arrogance of the physical sciences}
Aren't these two statements contradictory. A person is authority in Physics and still a disgrace to science.

"...HP Mian raham kariye, aakhi apni izzat apne sar par hoti hai..."

Mian ji:

Before you launch into another pico, nano, and micro analysis up analysis of the above, let me help you. Pagadi, haath mein tabhi utaar te hein, jab koi apni izzat kisi aur ke paeron mein rakhne wala hai.

Kuch seekh lijiye, abhi bhi waqt hai. Itna gussa hone ki, aur gaali-galoz ki zaroorat nahin hai.

CAlpha writes "US defence budget is small compared to countries like China and India or Pakistan as % of GDP"

US defense budget is not small compared to whatever measure you want to use. Certainly, the US economy in which government discretionary outlays for defense are greater than the sum total of all discretionary outlays combined, and where past and present military spending totals almost 50% of all taxes received, is not larger than the economy of the rest of the world combined for it to be spending that much. thus far we have not added to the $650 billion the secret budgets of the CIA and related agencies, and the spending for maintaining indigeneous occupation forces like the Pakistan Army. The United States of America is about militarism and military spending in the Hitleresque fashion, take that away and you take away the sum total of US culture in the post WW2 world...

HP Mian:

"Here is for you anil maybe now you will feel better. You are an idiot!......

Get lost. ......

When I put the heat on you, you will be running around like a crazy bum that you are. ....

Apni izzat apnay hath. Wanna pursue me? Idiot! ....

Remeber this post?

#68 ....

You may exit this board ahole!"

Mian ji, I do not like to believe that you are dishonest or coward to post my response to Yasser.

Since you researched above, please re-post that as well, so that all will be at one place, and you would not look to use dishonesty and cowardice to make your point.

Please HP Mian raham kariye, aakhi apni izzat apne sar par hoti hai. Kyon apnit bagdi utar rahein hain. Dishonesty and cowardice are always exposed.

Shukriya, aapki dawat ka... hum adawat apki tarah nahin kar sakte. Mazboor hain, muaafi chata houn.

Massaddi Mian:

I am sure it does.

Are you sure of your way to conquer people's mind and heart to make them believe in your message?

HP Mian:

Abusing or getting abused is no medal for me. These pass over and dusted off. This post of yours is yet another classical example of lost conclusions and saturation due to analysis upon analysis.

Sorry to disappoint you. Do a search and you would also find that Sanatani wanted kill me, and Laddu is Laddu after all.

You had started hurling insults at me, and have again started once again.

Yes, I do belive in "Is man the best creation of God, or God is the best imagination of Man". Call me whatever, your choice not mine. What you write and I write reflects us like the rest of us.

Hope it is not too difficult for you to understand. Or, is it too simplistic for your pico, nano macro analysis up analysis mind?

masadi, tu phir aagaya? stop babbling inanities!! US defence budget is small compared to countries like China and India or Pakistan as % of GDP. This is the largest economy in the world. The numbers will be large...what is your problem? Take it up with your jihadi brothers if you don't like the numbers. chal phoot...ja vaapis apni cave mein.

Anil "Although I absolutely disagree with the absues you hurl. "

That reflects my frustration at those that lie blatantly for some perverse agenda that is anti-human.
