Re: supposed bleeding hearts/brains liberals

You know it is really funny among us Pakistanis... .when it comes to Islam some of the self procliamed bleeding heart liberals demonstrate the utmost fanticism (on the othre side of the fence) ...I am sure if Shahbaz had said something similar in context about any other religion, he would have been labelled Islamic fanatic.

If everyone does agree that no religion is perfect, whay is it that only heat against Islam is justified.

Inferiority complex at work maybe...

Or shall we all start disparaging everyting we dont agree with ..in other religions.. but wont we be fanatics then... round and round.

Reply to Born to be:

You are right, It is nothing but that grand old inferiority complex, a scar we will have to live with for the next few generations due to the English dominance in our homelands in recent history.

Come on, Born to Be and Afrasiyab. I think belonging to a certain community or group inherently gives you a little more leeway/liberty to ``bash`` it (I mean in an emotionally loaded kind of way).

And you may be right about the notion that a lot of us who are so forgiving when it comes to ``Islam-bashing`` would probably point fingers at and tag with negative labels any Muslim who belittles another religion. I hope that I have the good sense to distinguish between a valid point being made about another (or my own) religion in a civilized, intellectual context, and vindictive muck-hurling by a narrow-minded bigot for the main purpose of spewing hatred and intolerance. And if, in your book, accepting the former and denouncing the latter makes me the Gora Sahib`s sychophant with a deep-seated inferiority complex, then so be it.

Shahbaz,

Your Azan story doesn`t make sense because ``Wuzzu`` is NOT necessary to perform Azan.

Aziz.
