re: tahmed32
You seem to be a tad angry at Mohajirs any particular reason.

Regards,

Faruk

five groups lets call them

1. hamidm2 group (the fauji types - realistic modernising types)

2. the zeemax group - the literalist group who know the real thing but are literalist

3. the urstruly types - the relativist realistic relgious types

4. the tahmed32 types - the ultra-silently-religious types

5. the salim types - the newbees with a ruler syndrome - the ones that can cause mayhem

you have these five types in pakistan.

one would want to put the tahmed32 types either into loony bins for treatment or into monasteries where no one can find them or interact with them. They are the dreamy, ambiguous ones and can be dangerous to the nations health

you will put the zeemax types and the salims behind bars. the zeemax types in perpetuity as they are the most dangerous kind while the salimtypes for the time they donot repent (they will very quickly mark you)

the urstruly and the hamidm2 can do business and move the country forward.

the Lawyers are the zeemaxes of the country - they know constitutionality, but are effing literalists and are essentially loose cannons. loose cannons need to be tied down and hidden away. Along with them the other religious literalists

the MQMs, zardaris, the nawas are the salim types - you can do business with them, but you need to put them in a dark room and show them the error of their ways.

the Hamidm2s (ak the faujis) and the urstruly's (the religiously realistic ones) should start ball rolling. SInce they both are realistic but are waiting for the other to ask them onto the dance floor - before the start mooching and ending up in the same seedy hotel room

The solution to the problem.

... but you're wrong with this:

2. the zeemax group - the literalist group who know the real thing but are literalist

I am the ONLY one in this category. Name another one!

On the contrary your comments may further inflate the inflated egos.zemax in#169 is a prime example.

Re: # 146 Posted by hamidm2 on April 11, 2008 6:13:56 am

gopi sahib,

what in happening here at chowk?

I am still waiting on urstruly to tell me what Timbuktu territory is? Then, all of a sudden this hoopla started. And now I am reading that you have become gopi. Why gopi?

Screw that mafiaso boss and his gangsters who have taken urban Sindhis for a ride. His work is complete, because military occupation has become a thing of the past, and most pro-military establsihment forces know that their days are numbered.

Get a bigger perspective on what is happening in Pakistan. Actually, this is happening around the world. Look at it from UN and its Human Rights charter. Democracy is the name of the new world order, and we will have economic and business relationship only with those countries who truly believe in this charter and develop a system of human dignity towards respecting all human beings living amongst them within their respective geographical boundaries. Nation states will finally be accepted.

No more roaming around whether from tree limb to tree limb or by foot. Passports and other forms of identification will be required.

Laughable Dawn and its news posting times.

MQM chief withdraws resignation KARACHI, April 11 (APP): Chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Husain has withdrawn his resignation as party head on the demand of party workers. Announcing his decision by telephone at party headquarter Nine Zero he sought the pledge from local MQM leadership that they will fulfill their responsibilities with dedication in future. (First Posted @ 20:34 PST Updated @ 22:12 PST)
------------------------
MQM chief announces to step down KARACHI, Pakistan, April 11 (APP): Chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Husain on Friday announced his stepping down as head of the party on failure of its local leadership to control law and order situation in time. In a letter addressed to party leaders and workers from London, he said he was shocked over the loss of lives and property in Karachi. Deputy Convener of MQM coordination committee read out the abdication letter of Altaf Husain during the general party workers meeting held at party head quarter Nine Zero. “I am deeply shocked and arrived at a conclusion that I am unable to lead the party and ask the coordination committee to look after all the affairs of the party and maintain peace in the city at all cost”, Altaf Husain said. He noted that MQM leaders and elected leadership had failed to control violence in the city. Altaf Husain said peaceful protest was the right of every citizen, but resort to violence and loss of lives come under open terrorism. “You know that I am against every kind of violence,” he added. He said the violence claimed more than 12 innocent lives including those of lawyers, journalists who were subjected to brutality at the hands of unidentified persons and property was set ablaze. (Posted @ 20:34 PST)
-------------------
MQM leaders also threaten to resign KARACHI, Pakistan, April 11 (APP): MQM parliamentarians, Karachi Nazim, town nazims and other leaders on Friday threatened to resign their seats if party chief Altaf Husain did not withdraw his decision to step down. Deputy Convener MQM Rabita Committee Dr. Farooq Sattar announcing the decision of local leadership at party headquarter Nine Zero said they cannot run the party without the leadership of Altaf Husain. Thousands of MQM workers and supporters who rushed to Nine Zero to express solidarity with Altaf Husain refused to leave the place and also threatened to go on hunger strike unless Altaf Husain withdrew his resignation.
