Re: # 80 Tahir

Read the interacts below as well; they are all for your eyes matey!

I must say you do have one or two screws loose; perhaps I can get one of my colleagues to take a look at you and see if they can fine tune something?

Food for thought

Re: # 65

It's so sad to see that the so called Muslims of this board are some of the most racist snd ignorant towards White and Black people. I'm sure this throw backs to the Abbassid Dynasty would have no problems with imprisoning a range of women in their harems and find a sura in the Qur'an to justify it. Unfortunately, those days are over and the chickens have come home to roost-and we no longer have to listen to this bullshit-we are all educated and can read the Qur'an and Hadith ourselves. We can also refute indefensible notions of bigotry and control.

Tampax's post is another example of the jahil frame of mind that participates in reverse racism. If only we could send Tampax to a Catholic school where the nuns and monks couldbeat him for even looking his usual crosseyed self and bakwasing about alcohol, sex and cigarrettes. I'd pay to see that. :)

# 82,

Why Abbassid alone? Even Mughals kept gori concubines in their harem. Some of them were given to gora diplomats for good time.

Parshuram, this is a good piece...

This is so brilliant that it deserves a repeat.

we are all educated and can read the Qur'an and Hadith ourselves.


and yet mosques are segregated...

so does this mean the separation is sanctioned by mo's book?

aslam644:

"Recently I read there are 100’s of jewish women in isreal married to arab men."

Does it have anything to do with the Jewish tradition of children following the religion of their mother?

Kulhari:

A well written article on a very relevant topic. Any young desi boy or girl marrying outside their religion/race will benefit from reading your article.

"My own Masjid in London would politely turn down request for a Nikah service unless my fiancée converted to Islam"

Doesn't quran allow the marriage of a Muslim man with a woman of another abrahmic religion?

BTW, I was somehow under the impression that your spouse was jewish.

The stories of inter-racial or interfaith couples are indivdually unique. That is what makes it so interesting. This misperceptions of pakis that desis marry lower class white women has to be one of the stupidest things I have heard. It might be an entirely bradford/paki phenomenon. Sort of ghetto pakis like Tampax marrying their socioeconomic counterparts of another race. In america, the desis are not ghettoized and even pakis are better assimilated and you will find that most interfaith,inter racial marriages are among the well off/professional cadre. Where idiocy of religious mandates takes a backseat to raising kids with a world view far richer in experiences that come from the different backgrounds of their parents.

Then what explains the Harley tattoo in your wife's butt crack?

This is must be Mirzaee theology.

ali is the product of inbreeding..
once you work out the sordid details of fathers doing it with their daughters and sisters, it's hard to tell who's really who in his family..

just like kul's article is about marrying outside his race/religion, in ali's case, the article would be about someone in his family marrying outside the family...

Kulharee writes " I hope and pray to my Pakistani God that he is respectful, responsible, and dependable to his friends.."

With your rank racism, denigration of your own religion, nation and ethnicity, your kid probably looks down upon his father's kind and tries to be as white as possible- while the white man whose entire psyche is conditioned to look down upon the coloreds will look down upon him as a "half-breed"- even though it is no longer politically or culturally correct to say so, the feelings of their heart have not changed and laws cannot change them when an intolerant white society with high segregation indices and job segmentation, not to mention the foreign adventures of the US elite (and your living in one of the most instiutionally racially discriminating countries)- I feel sorry for you and your child- he must have multiple complexes, acting as a peon of the West among the white man and a white man among the colored folk.....save yourself and your child, return to Lahore and live like a free man.....
