The light of ummah needs to show light to itself-

In Pakistan, it is estimated that only 57 percent of girls and women can read and write and in rural areas only 22 percent of girls have completed primary level schooling as compared to 47 percent of boys.

and ofcourse the level of EDUCATION is ALL Allahu-variety!!

Riaz Haq sahib,

This also explains why, Pakistan and even Afghanistan and Bangladesh, are ranked by UNICEF as being ahead of India in basic sanitation.

That is becuase none of these countries have the same extensive railroad networks that India has. As they say majboori ka naam Mahatma Gandhi.

Regards

Re: # 192
Islam considers cleanliness as part of the Muslim faith.

Washing and bathing are religious requirements for Muslims, which is perhaps why they perfected the recipe for soap which we still use today. The ancient Egyptians had soap of a kind, as did the Romans who used it more as a pomade. But it was the Arabs who combined vegetable oils with sodium hydroxide and aromatics such as thyme oil. One of the Crusaders' most striking characteristics, to Arab nostrils, was that they did not wash. Shampoo was introduced to England by a Muslim who opened Mahomed's Indian Vapor Baths on Brighton seafront in 1759 and was appointed Shampooing Surgeon to Kings George IV and William IV.

This also explains why, Pakistan and even Afghanistan and Bangladesh, are ranked by UNICEF as being ahead of India in basic sanitation.
Riaz Haq, PakAlumni Worldwide

Re: # 175

nemesis3,

are you telling me that everything is very hunky dory in not so shining India? That all high and low officials/civilians over the years that have committed racist crimes have been appropriately dealt with...and its now a heaven that you are living in?

As for the Pak army in Swat...as pointed out by Khyber...they are not raping and exterminating the populace, but cleaning the area of Indian supported criminals...with the support of the local people...me and Khyber (I presume) both being from the frontier region.

Re: # 187

gur says: "Baki Gandus are special breed of Arabian belly dancer bitch."

If India is such a brightly shining bulb that some Iranians have migrated to Pune and that you all really hate Arabs and everything to do with them...I really wonder why then are millions of Indians slaving their guts out in the Middle Eastern countries? They even have Indian maid servants there...sometimes (not always) those poor creatures are horribly mistreated and abused too...and here you all are making out as if you are the greatest angels on the face of the earth with nothing wrong in your not so shining India!

"whatever Law do,it can't bring those two innocent girls and many others like them back to life."

Yes. What now? Is this the end of the road? c'mon man, grow up.

Refer to a good dictionary.).

Khyber: you should know that hindus are disallowed by their religion to do anything illegal, immoral or fattening.

#178 Posted by KHYBER

As I told at the outset, events in India do not escape the attention of the media and thus assume prominence. As for Paki army, whatever bulletin they publish is taken as absolute truth. There are even reports that whatever militant deaths announced by them in swat are all doled out figures and not related to the facts. This is the reason why US always seems dissatisfied with their performance.

As for the past record, please be assured that no incidence has escaped the cognizance of law.

Neither the Government, nor the army rules condone such crimes. Guilty has always been brought to book
