"It actually came about in '71. Did you notice? "

And showing signs of culminating in the present day context.

Having said this, I would also like to make it clear that the astrology is used for working out the indications of the imminent, so that steps can be taken to avoid the disaster.

It is also given in the preamble of the astrology treatises that if all the predictions would have been 100 per cent accurate, half the mankind would have committed suicide and the remaining would have gone mad!

"No, on the contrary, you must STUDY your Book and give befitting responses."

Tahir mian,

Did you try doing this yourself? I know you are well versed in quran.

On the contrary, (I shall be happy if proved wrong) you did nothing to defend anything and, instead, resorted to calling names and twisting the nicks of those who dared.

"defence is best for ppl who are in the wrong,"

NO! Defence is best for ppl who are WRONGED. In the case referred to by you, you have not been wronged. YOU ARE ONLY BEING SHOWN THE MIRROR.

AND YES. You should not put up any defence, because there is no defence available to you. Whatever is told has been substantiated in your scriptures and hadiths. And the action of the prophet and his followers. If you try to defend an indefensible thing, just as you said, you would land up in more of a mess and make a CLOWN yourself.

Your funda is wrong. You believe what prophet said because he said it. Nobody else saw the angel, nor the angel presented the prophet before the people and declared him the prophet.

"Sabzian achhe hain"

"Tum kaise keh sakte ho?"

"Sabziwali khud keh rahi thhi"

We had the above dialogues in one of the best acclaimed comedy TV serials in India.

#320 continued: of course, neither bulleya nor hamidm stand a chance before the Indians - who have been predicting the destruction of Pakistan at the rate of 35 PPH (Predictions Per Hour) ever since 1947.

#317 nb: bulleya is competing with hamidm for the Guiness Book of World Records in the category "Highest Number of Predications Per Hour".

"ppl who are saying defaming things against islam and its laws should be banned without any warnings. and all muslims are urged not to answer to their comments"

No, on the contrary, you must STUDY your Book and give befitting responses. Why be afraid of being ban-chowqed? These NKGs and Ajeyas are nothing if you hang in there.

Trust me.

Poor Romair, he has a record of every prediction being completely and dramatically wrong, but the prophecies just keep coming! :)

Re: # 315

Have you ever thought that even though the life of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is an open book; every minor detail of his personal and public life is available through none other but Muslim sources and yet you have to twist the facts to "attack" his personality? What does it tell you about your own moral values?

[i am not worried about those who defame islam - no one can "defame" you except yourself.

I am worried about those who hide behind the mask of islam - since they are busy destroying Pakistan right now. ]

It's amazing how so amny people "defame" Islam - meaning for example all those who write factual accounts about mo's misdeeds - includes ALL islamic historical sources beginning from his wives, close relatives, contemporaries and so on.

It is a plot, I tell you. Why does EVERYBODY have to write and rewrite and re-validate all those negative things about mo and thus give the non-muslims a chance to "attack" the man who presented the world with the amazing koran (and thus brought much peace and happiness to this world)?

Oh, you ask WHY is the koran amazing? Because er..um..it simply is. It contains amazing statements. If you can't find any, it's your fault - just ask masadi. If you are still not convinced, read for example the amazing chapter called "The Cow". Why is it called "The Cow", you ask? Because god, I mean allah the great named it so. So there!

i think the ppl of chowk should take notice because this welcome to read, write and think is sort of becoming
welcome to trash, belittle and promote ignorance.
ppl who are saying defaming things against islam and its laws should be banned without any warnings.
and all muslims are urged not to answer to their comments, we are on the truth and truth needs no defence, defence is best for ppl who are in the wrong, plus lots of time when you guys try to defend these kafirs it leads them to say much worse things, its best to ignore such ppl. they will surely see the truth one day and that day is not very far.

masadi: "This phrase "tyranny of the majority" made famous by James Madison in order to subvert democracy by ensuring that the rights of the propertied class are protected as against the ignorance of the masses, according to an elitist point of view. "

Wrong, dud man. Protection of the rights of the individual is the very basis for democracy and freedom.

The name James Madison will be shine through history as being the main proponent of the US Bill of Rights. Otoh, the name Jehadi Masadi stands tarnished before history due to you, good only for minting khota paisas.
