#129 Posted by Urstruly,

Do these mirzais have any shame or humanity left in them?

None whatsoever.

#128 Posted by sattar2,

Okay okay I concede and submit to the overwhelming public opinion. So I repeat three times:

Suicide Bombing is Haram! Remote Controlled Bombs are Halal!

Suicide Bombing is Haram! Remote Controlled Bombs are Halal!

Suicide Bombing is Haram! Remote Controlled Bombs are Halal!

Satisfied?

Re: # 103
At least you have admitted that Tamil and Mokhti bahni were trained by India..

Ans: The Pakistani attrocities were limitless. That was creating huge refugee problem in India. So, is the Tamil problem.
India had provided shelter to Mukti Bahini. But, apart from Indian Armed forces, they have not created something equivalent of Jihadis in West bengal, Tripura or Assam.
Whoever got killed in 1971, either they were Bangladeshis, Pakistani, or armed forces from India and Pakistan. Civilian participation was mostly providing moral and financial support for humanitarian purpose (food and shelter).
What freedom Kashmiris in India are not enjoying in personal and social life, that they are getting in other countries?

cut down the bamboo instead of cussing the flute player

..... sometimes i wonder what would happen if we dropped 10 nuclear bombs on waziristan ....... it is a pretty small place and the mehsuds number only a couple of hundred thousand ..... and so what if nobody can go there for ten years wihout their hair falling out - it wasn't much of a tourist spot to start with ...... is that too much? ... okay, how about a small one at mansoora and another on deoband (that is in india, so the horrible hindoos have to do it) ........ i would suggest places in saudi arabia, but the israelis are not up to it ... yet

........ khas kum, jehan paak !

I was merely 40 feet from my car in Raja Bazaar on Oct 23, 2002. My brother called me from behind to know when I was returning to mountains. I told him day after tomorrow. He said, what should he bring there. I told him, just fruit and veggies. We hugged and I took 3 steps and then there was a huge spark, boom and shrapnel all around us. To cut long story short, 2 people died on spot, 5 injured and couple cars were destroyed. The 200 gm bomb was placed in a shopping cart (rehrah) next to my car. Had not my brother called me from behind I would be opening the door of my car and the bomb was next to it. One person later told me 'you survived and that's what we call Allah and you mention chance'. Whatever the case, it is interesting to see that the same army, which was behind this explosion and many other explosions, is a target today. I call this Allah.

Re #142:

Apparently, for you a Muslim is one who must advocate senseless violence. It is easy to see why the ummah continues to slide downhill …

From what I know, the word “kufr” suggests “to cover, to hide the truth, darkness” etc. Kaffir is a person who does so. And yes, you are heading in the same direction that they did 1400 years ago. Quran narrates their stories and stories of prophets for a reason … you know …

Perhaps the chowk luminaries should start a circus - urstruly runs after everyone with the red hot "mirzee branding iron" while deftly tossing "victim cards" in the air; Hamidm meanwhile puts on his starched khakis and sings hymns to the "rising sun Musharraf"; arjun jumps from one tree to another going "paki terrorist cabbie! paki! paki!"

You three could be a big hit (at least for 5 minutes after which everyone would start yawning)!!

Urstruly: The mirzaee card, of course!! The ultimate WMD in the hands of the maulvi!! I am so scared of being branded a mirzaee that I dare not say anything about mullahs!! ha! ha!

Re: # 141

hain we are kuffar? how about naqshbandi; is he an aadha mirzai now that his sheikh has renounced violence?

#141 Posted by sattar2 on February 6, 2008 12:49:48 pm
Urstruly (#132 and now #140),

Don’t worry too much about big issues; start with small steps. You are still having difficulty letting an Ahamdi practice Islam without persecuting him.

Note yet again that this is very similar to how kuffar treated early Muslims. Prophets then and prophets now … the parallels are very striking. Such an attitude can only do you harm.

If Muslims 1400 years ago did not give up their faith, what makes you think they would so now …? As for the kuffar, they bit the dust 1400 year ago and you are heading in the same direction.

Re: # 134

I am happy for you. If you stop calling yourselves Muslims we do not have any quarel with you either. See Bihais are doing even better than you.
