Aslam Beg, Afghania...... Baki of Arabia
Suicide Vest, A-Bomb Test, IMF Loans

Bibi comes and Bibi Goes
Bomb Goes off and no one knows

Strategic Depth laid to waste
Cricket tests gone away
What more do I have to have...

bhatti (re #14), you should try satire; something tells me you'd be really good at it ...

On a different note:

Russians in afghanistan,
We have our own taliban

...

zia-ul-haque blown away
what more do I have to say ...

Kulharee,

Forced attempt at 'something' you are not good at.

Besides you need to get enrolled at a Masadi-run school to learn a few details on the American connection.

I know you wouldn't like a Marxist dayschool, so it's no use to send you an invition for that.

-Cheers.
-E

Feroz Bhai,
A-salam-a-ulaikum, marhabba, jazak allah on a beautiful article, took me down memory lane, it was like as if all the past events were being unfolded in front of me... it was a nail biting satire, kept me on the seat of my pants.
Bakistan needs ppl like you

I hereby confer upon you the title of KDGD-2!

"as for bakistanis like tahir and bhatti, you have to understand that they have been bitten by..."

What is THAT acronym? I will tell you soon; right now my camel is calling me.

kulharee mian,

.... this was the first decent article i have read on chowk in a long time .............good job! ...... as for bakistanis like tahir and bhatti, you have to understand that they have been bitten by camel fleas and suffer from a terminal disease that results in the patient blowing up in a crowded place killing innocent bystanders .........

Jay Yaar, there are a lot smarter Ahmadis in (and outside of) Pakistan than Prof. Abdus Salam. I dont believe that that was why Ahmadis were declared non-Muslims in Pakistan.

Remembering abdus salam

To day when Rehman won the oscars for music, all of india celebrated his success, though he belonged to a minority community.

When abdus salam won the nobel prize, ahmadias were declared non muslims. Waht a difference an ideology of TNT makes when one of its citizens win a global award.

In support of Zaedari,

Zardari is sacrificing a lot for the people of pakistan, he could have loved happily with his stolen millions in any western country. Now he has to listen to the special envoys of at least three countries so far. Take the case of mumabi, he listenmed to hobrook then a phone call from obama and he has to do the most disgraceful thing, to accept the role of isi in mubai and say that it hatched in pakiland.

Why is he doing this, to help the people of pakistan so taht they will have food to eat

when hamidm come home, he can drive on the motor ways, h can have his single malt whiskeys.

The US money is not something that zardari pokets, it is for the people of pakistan and zardari accepts to be humiliated, and inturn humiliates all pakis.

Have some heart for the poor zardari, it is all for you.

I recently interviewed a singer from Waziristan for my documentary film on the area. With tears in his eyes he told, it is his culture that is under harshest assault by the Al Qaeda and Taliban militants. His brother has been killed by the Taliban, because his brother, he said, was a brave man and challenged the high handedness of Al Qaeda and Taliban militants in his village. The singer has received many death threats for singing Pashto music. He lives as an internally displaced person in another place in Pakistan. He told me he will never give up singing. This, he said, is his 'cultural Jihad' with which he will continue to defy the Al Qaeda occupation of his homeland.

.//////from jang of today////////////

The pakis including tahmed talk about kashmir. Here is a tribal culture destroyed by islamic violence. Why no one talks about it, simply because the taliban are the true pakis, they have been taught the TNT version of islam, and that is why they are allowed to move into swat and occypy those lands.

It is all, the strategic depth notion, one day the yanks will leave afghanistan, then the taliban from fata and swat will over run afghanistan like they did before.

Take it from me pakis, that is not going to happen, simply because of 9/11

The importance of swat,

The swat deal is important. The taliban there who got this deal are not the locals, they are mostly from punjab, madrassa products, they defeated the tribals, occupied their land, have their govt there. This is a model that is going to spread, they are going to attack the neighbors.

Swat is the equivalent of afghanistan from where 9/11 was launched.

Axeman,

Bad bad attempt!

And I can see the hatred for Bhutto spilling over. You folks helped him get on the driving seat, had yourselves declared non-Muslims, involved yourselves in murderous conspiracies, and now sit reaping the benefits in London or wherever.

We don't need your distorted lessons.

New York Axeman,

"This was a Satire, calling it history, oh okay, my bad.... it is historically pretty accurate, maybe I exaggerated at places a little (and sometimes a lot)."

What a disguised admission of guilt, just like Salman Rushdie! Birds of the feather flock together.

MGAQ did his bit, and you continue in that tradition, 'mistree' of his-story!

"Jinnah and his fellow revolutionaries gave everything, including a few who also gave their lives to realize the creation of a new nation."

Feroz,

Take it from me feroz, pakistan has no freedom fighters, no one gave anything for pakistan, Jinnah created it with his type writer, in his own words and the divide and rule policy.

In india even today there are few freedom fighters who are respected, govt pays pensions to them.

Pakistan has none, and that is the problem.

Pakistan has to follow the book, and that book is very old. Finally, the islamic country that jinnah envisaged is coming to existence, in swat and quickly in more places, governed by the book.

Kulli,

If this was history then it was bad, and if it was satire, it was worse... To write a satirical piece, yo have to have the ability or trait called 'kamina pan'. I think you lack that... :@
