tahmed,

"Beheadings and hangings are the religion of the kafirs who have given our beautiful religion a bad name with their vicious, criminal acts." .....

sigh! .... as long as people like you continue to live in denial we cannot fix the problem .... you are just as bad, if not worse, than rabid jihadis like zeemax and urstruly ...... look tahmed, you and i need to get together on this - we have to confront this insidious idelology, warts and all .... otherwise they will hang us both ....

Zeemax writes "but tell me masadi, will the peons of the white man be now enslaved to the black man if obama wins?"

Zeemax my friend, you should know better. When the brown man with the dog ugly face was "in command" of Pakistan, did the white man lose his rule over the country? If what the white man did here wasn't so tragic for our folk, I'd say my answer was a slam dunk, a check mate and pack up and go home kind of reply.

What you are doing is confusing the political establishment in the US with "the white man's rule". It is not his rule, it is merely a tool....now the poetry of that aside, the institutional vetting process is such that populism matters little in victory or defeat, rather what matters is how well he/she can deliver...and that his skin tone is some shades lighter and more like the white man than the average African America...read Domhoff "Who rules America"- a social/scientific study unlike the feel good old wives tales (befitting tahmed's brain).

freedom fighter operation death toll up to 37...somebody think of the root cause!!

Suicide attack on PPP rally kills 37 in Parachinar PARACHINAR, Pakistan, Feb 16 (AFP) A suicide car bomber struck a Pakistan People’s Party rally in the northwestern tribal town of Parachinar Saturday, killing 37 people. “It was a suicide attack, there were people outside the candidate's house and they were waiting for food when this man attacked,” interior minister Hamid Nawaz told AFP. “It is a very unfortunate incident. Maximum security measures are in place for the 17th and 18th (of February) and the campaign is going to end tonight,” he added. Thirty-seven people were killed and 93 wounded in the blast, interior ministry spokesman Brigadier Javed Cheema said, adding: “It was a vehicle-borne suicide attack.” Security officials earlier told AFP that the suicide bomber attacked a Pakistan People's Party meeting outside the office of local candidate Riaz Shah. Shah's family said he was safe. “A man with long hair drove a car into the crowd and blew himself up. There were bodies and blood everywhere,” a witness told AFP. Police in the southern city of Hyderabad meanwhile said they had arrested a suspected militant equipped with a suicide jacket and explosives who was planning an attack during the polls. Some 81,000 army and paramilitary soldiers have fanned out across the country to maintain peace and security during the election, chief military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said. Qaiser Tareen, commander of the paramilitary Punjab Rangers, said troops have been ordered to “shoot on sight” those who try to hamper the voting or disrupt peace on election day.

...beti version ate up part of the post ...

Read as follows:

But, at the same time I would like to ask you why China lines up convicts after an hour long trial and shoots them in the back of the head and sends the bill for that bullet's cost to the criminals' next of kin?

"freedom" fighters. These suicide bombers/murderers, innko freedom se kya vasta hai?

It was a suggested Dawn headline..like the one they had a few years ago about killings in indian kashmir "freedom fighters kill 7 of marriage party"

#266 Posted by tahmed32,

Sure. I don't believe in such harsh punishments either. Would you rather jail them? I would, if there was a proper justice system and they wouldn't go scot free in a week.

But, at the same time I would like to ask them in the back of the head after an hour long trial and sends the bill for that bullet's cost to the criminals' next of kin?

zeemax: I checked #230. This is what you had to say about the article: "Taliban were hanging highwaymen by lamp posts during their regime. Beheading them in Wana and stuffing currency notes down their severed throats - and recently, fought off the criminal gangs in Darra Adam Khel and kicked them out of tribal areas for good."

Beheadings and hangings are the religion of the kafirs who have given our beautiful religion a bad name with their vicious, criminal acts. This is not the religion of the average Pakistani. This is exactly the point the article was making Muslims with faith in God are not intimidated by these scoundrels in beards.

#262 Posted by ana,

I wish you would continue interacting with me so I could peel off the layers of rust from your brain bit by bit, let alone from your bimbo ass.

Does the choice of weapons determine who's a freedom fighter and who is not?

fakirippi: the day you have a mosque where the mullahs are not quarelling with one another for control, the day you have "muslims" able to go to a mosque without fear of being blown up by other "muslims", the day a maulvi picks a jharoo and cleans the streets rather than ranting cheap rants over the microphone, the day muslims start following Quranic injunctions concerning who has authority on issues of religion and the day muslims start following Quranic injunctions concerning respect for other faiths (I could go on about violations of the Quran by "muslims") - that day you can start talking about murtids. Till that day - every damned muslim who violates the Quran and issues threats (as you just did to hamidm) is a damned murtid who will rot in hell. Inshallah.

Zeemax,

This is the last time I will be interacting with you. (You're welcome) So listen carefully. I was expressing my opinion by questioning the relation of the word "freedom" in the word freedom fighters to suicide bombers. I do believe that suicide bombers are murderers. And I have said that about anyone who kills regardless of religion or ethnicity. I am free to express my opinion, just as you are free to express what you always do. I do not call you a maadarchod for doing so. So patronize me all you want, by referring to my bimbohood, it really is no skin off my nose, and it just makes you look bad. And yes, zeemax, I do know something of what is going on in Pakistan. I am not completely cut off from it as much as you and your ilk would like to cut me out from it.

Now baraye meh'rbaani do not interact with me again. Good luck.

#253 30 years ago, my friend from parachinar (whose father was a big shot shia leader since some ancestor had decided he was a direct descendant of the prophet) told me how the shia-sunni shooting starts every spring. Kind of a tribal version of the Easter Egg Roll.
