"So tell me, WHY do you think that minorities are better treated in Pakiland as compared to India."

Its obvious. Because they complain much less, compared to the minorities of India. You are so simple.

In #60 read "and those that struggled against it to push the people in like ZAB were butchered while their butcherers drive Red custom designed Hummers (referring to Musharraf's new Hummer that he drives around to see his friends together with his security details), wearing shades flanked by commandoes and what not, whose price if redeemed can feed a small city three square meals for a week in a country where 84% live in misrable conditions on less than $2 a day.....that fools day of redemption is coming, and I hope this fool PH hangs with him...."

Majumdar, thanks for posting my comments, I have been released from illegal detention by Chowk Staff, and am ready to post again to bust the smokescreen being set up by the assorted peons of the West like tahmed and hoodbhoy, not to mention the sage of the sewers whose smokescreen is as transparent as GWBs BS...

Mr Hoodboy should have more respect for the faith of the people of the country he lives in as a protected minority. There isn't enough time in the day to argue with every rotten "journalist" who puts out stuff he knows to be littered with half-truths and distortion. As a Parsi, or whatever you are, you should respect the Muslim faith rather than play the same role played by the zionists and neocons of the west that lied their public into disastrous wars. In the US they got discovered in hindsight and and they were properly referred to as frauds and charlatans after the fact. In Pakistan our tradition of dealing with such a traitor would not leave you so lucky.

Masadi sahib wishes to inform chowkies that the chowkstaff has banned him for 48 hours after saying it was for 24, and he would have busted his (PHs) BS were he unblocked.

Posting on his behalf:

attack by an external enemy always unites divergent groups within a society while internal fighting especially against those who are seen as oppressors (the Pakistan Army) will never evoke such condemnation. If an African American (considered outsiders in the US) were to rape a white woman, the social reaction is much different to when a white man rapes the same woman. This fool, PH is a social illiterate yet he tries to pontificate on social issues. If America were to vanish into thin air, the Taliban and the Jihadists will after a correction period definitely fizzle out, like I said, giving a bunch of thugs the "major enemy status" to divert attention from actual struggles against the empire is what has given them the nourishment they need to become what they are becomming. Read HPs post with care and know that this is not the same Pakistan where Army thugs, Religious thugs and liberal wannabes like PH can dupe the masses, the people are seeing the truth and the truth tells them that it is all about power and in this struggle for power they have been left out all along by the establishment and those that struggled against it to push the people in like ZAB were butchered will the butcheres drive Red csstom designed Hummers, wearing shades flanked by commandoes and what not, whose price if redeemed can feed a small city three square meals for a week in a country where 84% live in misrable conditions on less than $2 a day.....that fools day of redemption is coming, and I hope this fool PH hangs with him....

Pakistan is in the grip of two monsters: One the overlordship of American hegemonism and imperialism and the other is obscurantism of the cave people, the Taliban.They both have their own agendas.But incidently they are each others enemies also.Taliban are not the committed anti Soviet religious cruaders of yester years.They are exterminators of what human civilzation and society have achieved so far by way of scientific discoveries and research.
Let them fight each other out.That will be good riddance for the humanity and the present day world.Pakistan in the meanwhile will suffer as a battle ground.Faraz Saeed

"........ we are up against supernatural forces that are aided by the likes of hazrat khizer, hazrat suleiman, squadrons of ababeel bombers and fiery djinns ...... these barbarians must be exterminated with extreme prejudice or else they will destroy mankind ........"

hallelujahs to that brother!

The present day Taliban grew out of the Mujahedeen who defeated the Soviet Union. But what did they do after that? They went to war against each other and their people, thereby completely destroying their own country and causing a lot of damage in Pakistan with their Kalashnikov culture. I do not mean to suggest that the Americans should stay. Rather, the Taleban should not be allowed to create a vacuum and then fill it when the Americans are forced to leave the region. That would be disastrous for the entire South Asian and Central Asian regions. The only way to prevent it is to defeat the Taleban and to ask the American military to leave the region alone. If the American forces are asked to stay and rebuild, it would only only cause more problems. Any American assistance should be purely civilian and humanitarian at the point.

Re: # 49

hp,

... trust me, i want to believe you and would fill hyour mouth with ghee and shakar if i had any, but i am afraid you are underestimating this insidious enemy ......

.........you say that "10K fighters cannot take over Afghanistan what to talk of Pakistan" ..... true, but we are not talking about normal flesh and blood human beings .... you forget that they started with 313 (or was it 413) rag tag fighters at badr and went on to raise hell in persia and andalusia and the maghreb and made life miserable for our forefathers ..... tell that to our hindoo friends on this forum whose scrawny veggie fed posteriors are still smarting from that experience many centuries ago .........

........ we are up against supernatural forces that are aided by the likes of hazrat khizer, hazrat suleiman, squadrons of ababeel bombers and fiery djinns ...... these barbarians must be exterminated with extreme prejudice or else they will destroy mankind ........
