viqram (#235),

Slow down … and take a deep breath.

My view is that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) never said that prophethood has ended with him. Rather, he foretold appearance of a prophet among Muslims who will appear in the spirit of Jesus, and called him Issa-ibne-Marriam. Mainstream Muslims await Issa from 2000 years ago to appear in flesh and blood … but Ahamdi-Muslims interpret it as a metaphor. Furthermore, neither does Quran mention end of prophethood; rather it maintains the possibility of prophets appearing as Allah pleases.

Now, this debate may go on and on. Mainstream Muslims may believe what they want … but persecuting Ahmadi-Muslims is where they go overboard … a point that remains lost on the ummah.

Re#240,

Ahmadi viewpoint is that the conditions for fighting jihad, as prescribed in Quran, did not exist … therefore jihad against the British had no Quranic basis. Conflicts arise from time to time and should be handled with patience and civility. There are ways of dealing with the issue of “cartridges with pig fat” without necessarily going to war!!!

For example, Ahamdi-Muslims have chosen to get beaten up, go to prison, and suffer persecution … with patience and without resorting to violence. I think this is in line with Quranic teachings. Your view may differ; what can I say?

Ahamdi-Muslims accepted Mirza Shaib as their leader unquestioned leader (to use your terminology) … so they chose not to engage in jihad against the British. If others want to pick up arms and go to war, that’s their choice.

If Mirza Sahib’s loyalty is an issue, so are the loyalties of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Jesus Christ (pbuh). Let’s use the same yard stick here …

captain clueless told us he's part kashmiri...he supports the jihad in kashmir....

and yet he doesn't have the testicular fortitude to fight the jihad himself...

not only that, he is undermining the cause by lending his management talents to indian IT companies(because, as he tells us, indian IT companies aren't going anywhere without paki management talent)...


also, let's not forget that capt clueless was completely gung-ho about the afghan war during the t-shirt with paki flag delusion days...

This genius also told us that the dubya and the US government would be prostrating before the pakis...and how he was eager to give up his "IT job", wear the uniform and join the invasion of afghanistan..(urstruly, I'll show you how to use google to look that up in 5 seconds)...

the pindi blast is already old news..

Blast at Pakistan election rally kills 14 ISLAMABAD, Feb 9 (Reuters) A suspected suicide bomber killed 14 people and wounded 24 at the election rally of Awami National Party(ANP) in Charsadda town in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province Saturday, Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said. “We've been told 14 people were killed and 24 wounded. Apparently, it was a suicide attack,” Cheema said. ANP leader Afrasiab Khattak, who was addressing the rally, told Dawn TV he was safe. Private TV channels quoting ANP sources, said upto 21 persons were killed and about 40 injured.(First Posted @ 18:04 PST Updated @ 18:58 PST)

Romair,

C'man yaar. Hamid's forte is his inimitable cynical wit.He "ridicules" everybody, including himself. He also readily reverses himself.

OTOH, Urstruly comes across as a bitter, venomous person, disillusioned with everyone's morality, except those who agree with his brand of Islam.

Its not the fact that he is a holier-than-thou bigot which bothers me--that type is represented by all religions on Chowk.

To the best of my knowlege, he is single, an engineer, who is disillusioned by the land that feeds him, disillusioned by muslims who support the west, looks upon non-muslims as morally defunct, acts like a victim and espouses violent revolution.

One can find a number of reasons why hamid should live in the US. Heck, he fits right in!
Can you tell me one logical reason why a profile like Urstruly would want to live in the US?

Breaking News is that a video of Abdul Aziz in burqa sodo mizing a young 12 year old boy from his madarassa has been prepared for release by the Paki Army.

zeemax,

.......... a better move would have been to implant a homing device in his rectum and let him 'escape' (which is a common thing in paki jails) ....... then, as soon as he crossed over into waziristan to meet up with his sheep loving buddies - boom! ........ fire from hell

... and when the time comes, they're sure to exterminate each and every single one of your 'murtid' breeders, whether in their teens or out of it!

#285 Posted by hamidm2,

Haha ... Abdul Aziz negotiated the ceasefire while sitting in jail.

You're an ignorant creep. The Pakistani state stands soundly defeated.

Re: # 284

romair,

.... are you calling shankar a nutcase? ..... you know that he is a shrink ?

...... as for me, i agree that i am not willing to fight for my cause, but i willingly pay my taxes without complaining ....... as a matter of fact i would support a 10 cent a gallon surcharge on gasoline for an anti-jihad fund ....... and i don't want to abandon islam, i want to reform it and will join tahmed's sect as soon as he declares his prophethood ......

Re: # 280

zeemax,

... i don't care why - you cannot and must not negotiate with these barbarians .... period .... they will come back to kill you and your babies ........ that is why we should have exterminated every single one of them in lal masjid when we had the chance - specially the breeders ....... it was a mistake then and it is a mistake now .......

shankar #: there are two individuals on this site, who are the most vocal about pakistan, as well as about violence, yet do not live there........

one is urstruly and the other is hamidm mian.........

.....both are amongst the most pro-war and pro-violence individuals on this site.......though hamidm mian is far more than urstruly......both are fanatically ideological about their views.......and both are hypocrites (if not of the highest order, then at least the second highest order).......

urstruly lives in usa, but hates it.......yet still does not leave......he wants it destroyed......hamidm mian is a muslim, yet constantly wants muslims bombed.......he ridicules islam all day, yet does not have the courage to leave the religion........

urstruly wants jihad all over the world, yet will never participated in one himself........hamidm mian wants the usa fighting muslims everywhere in the world, yet will never join the military, nor will allow any of his kids to do so......

so, what can we deduce from the above.......i have though long and hard about it, and the only conclusion i can reach is that its the state they live in.......if i am not mistaken, they both live in michigan......apparently, the state seeems filled with nutcases........

though i am starting to think that they are both the same person.......it's like that richard gere movie, where a young boy convinces the court he has dual personalities......its either hamidm mian posing as urstruly or vice-versa.......they have too much in commmon......

p.s. having said that, i think hamidm mian and urstruly's behavior is, in a round about manner, a hope for pakistan......they have both selected economic progress over ideology......so while they may preach an ideology the whole day, their personal actions indicate that they know where their bread is buttered......

Cry for the pak army,

One suicide bombing of military personnel and the pak army is in surrender talks with the tribals. The tribals have declared cease fire and the pak army alsi will comply. This is really pathetic, the tribals are setting the ground rules and the army is following.

The pathetic kayani should resign. Then again, why should he, the next also will be the same, came out of teh same military academies where surrender ceremony is the most practiced drill.

hamidm

already many pakistanis believe that the waziristan jihadis are supported by the indians , especially from their five consulates around afghanistan.

Then of course, YLH will vouch that gandhi created taliban.

We are all in support of taliban taking over pakistan. Then pakistan will be denuked, iraquised and then it will be sonar pakistan, a little like sonar bangladesh of today
