RE:Rsaxena # 283

``````Despite all the revionist theories you can come up with, true-to-the-book Islam leads to terrorism``````

Still better than Hinduism, which leads to widow burning, apartheid, segregation, bishop burning, nun raping, cow-urine drinking, cow-dung eating, penis-vagina-anus-rectum-uterus worship and other disgusting inhuman things.

Siagalph #261

I appreciate your appreciation of Karachi. And you are right.

Basically the nature of Karachi started changing in 1986, not at the hands of Jihadist interestingly.

Karachi was a bastion of Jamat-e-Islami and Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan till 1986 and was a very peaceful cosmopolitan city. When for the first time our dear Indian`s favorite Altaf Hussain started politics of hatred and ethnicity. (And as like attracts like, he is much liked by Indians). That started the Klashinkov culture and killings.

I have heard that things have changed during last one year.

But Karachi will never lose its cosmopolitan character, hopefully and continue to attract people from all over Pakistan and abroad.

Secession is a heresy in India now as you allege.

Killing of millions of people at the time of partition in 1947 also suggest the same.

But did it prevent partition.

In Pakistan, there is an area called Kafiristan and people are called Kafir. I think they are Kalash people. It has no wrong connotation and may be (which I don`t know and have not seen) in the text book in that area.

Kamzaat by the way is not an English word. And it is not necessary to say something. Actions speak louder than words as the saying goes.

Rsaxena,

Dont you get sick of going on and on like this?

I am not going to attack your views because you are entitled to them, no matter how messed up or inaccurate they are.

Granted you hate Pakistan ! Why dont you stop coming here and relieve us of your most refreshing (read ``refreshed like after throwing up) company?

Thankyou

Yasser Latif Hamdani

PS Rsaxena, about Turkey and Pakistan .. maybe you would like to read what the Turkish Students Association president wrote on PSA website...

psarutgers.cjb.net

For others...(Not Rsaxena)

Pakistan and Turkey both emerged out of the ruins of two Muslim Empires ... Mughal and Ottoman.

Pakistan and Turkey are both homogenously Muslim

97% Pakistan 99.7% Turkey

Pakistan and Turkey both were founded by two quite secular leaders. The comparison between Ataturk and Jinnah is nothing new famous political writers have time and again compared them... as a matter of fact I think it is more of an honor for Ataturk to be compared to Jinnah....

Indian Embassy in Ankara is located on this major road/ avenue called the Jinnah Cadavesi ....named after Mr Jinnah....

Turkey and Pakistan have faced the same kind of armed uprisings ... Kurdistan in Turkey, Baluchistan in Pakistan ....

Turkey provided Pakistan with oil, planes and monetary support in both wars ....

Pakistan and Turkey along with Iran were part of the RCD, CENTO etc ....

TURKEY was the first country to recognize Pakistan !!!!!!!!!!!!! in 1947 ... Inonu` administration had sent an envoy down to Pakistan as early as 14th of August.

Pakistan reciprocates its friendship for Turkey ..

there are countless monuments dedicated to Ataturk including one in Larkana and one in Lahore ... there are countless schools named after Ataturk ... and a whole residential block of Garden Town Lahore is named after him ... I believe that the headoffices of Jamaat e Islami are located there but I am not sure.

Turkey has had 4 coups ... well now we are going into the negative stuff....

Last year`s Turkey Republic Day celebrations were attended by 2 head of the states of foreign countries... the Pakistani and the Israeli head of the states...

It would have been funny watching Rafiq Tarrar the Bearded President actually listen to the slogans of ``Secularism is here to stay``....

The truth is that a lot of beardos in Pakistan hold Ataturk in great respect ...even if some of them done ....

The Pakistani Muslim perspective on Ataturk is perhaps best evident in Iqbal`s book ... reconstruction of .. I forget ... it consists of 6 lectures...

I believe that if Pakistan is not a secular state, it is a Kemalist state ... to understand this concept better please read Cambridge Professor Bobby Syed`s Book ``Islamism`` a

Kalki,

It`s only Jay and his crew that say `K for Kafir`.. on this board, anyway.

And they`re not Pakistani.

To The Kid:

- Jinnah is dead

- Turkey and Pakistan have nothing in common

- Pakistan is a non-secular country named the ``Islamic Republic of Pakistan``

- Pakistan has no respect in the world forum. Even the beloved Arabs have yet to ever threaten India with oil embargos over Kashmir

- There is no hope left for Pakistan

- Pakistan and democracy do not go together

- Despite all the revionist theories you can come up with, true-to-the-book Islam leads to terrorism

Re: kalki

In Pakistan, D, I, C, and K, and are favorite letters of the alphabet.

D = Dictator

I = Islam for all

C = Coup

K = Kashmir

Sameer JB,

If you still engage in kite ``dogfights``, try & get some manjha from Surat. They coat it with so much powdered glass that your fingers bleed if you dont wear gloves.

dost mittar,

{{``Man, it`s better than sex``

You need better sex life, yaar.}}

Ah! but then you have never eaten a Goan roasted pigling :) The experience is ``orgasmic``(BTW, my apologies if you are muslim).

Eventhough my ancestry is S.Indian, I dont care much for that food. If I ever want to go to Pakistan, the main reason would be for the cuisine. I`m not sure if you are Indian & Pakistani, but you are really blessed to have travelled (& eaten) at both sides of the border.

U is for Untouchables

M is for Maleech

S is for Shudar

do I need to go on?

dost-mittar-yaar: Chole had been Rawalpindi`s specialty for a longtime. There is a place in Saddar, Rawalpindi, named Jahangira which must be the biggest open-air cafe in Rawalpindi-Islamabad. They are famous for roast chicken and chholey curry with raita and naan. Couple of years ago they opened another restaurant in Islamabad.

One of the problem I noticed has to do with using hydrogenated oils in cooking in Pakistan. In winter and in places like Rawalpindi-Islamabad open-air restaurants, the oil freeses quickly because of its higher freezing point. I wish they quit using hydrogenated oils in cooking. Over time each city develops specialities like Murgh Pulao in Lyallpur, kababs and haleem of Karachi, sri-paye and fried fish of Lahore. Islamabad althogh being a new city, has already known for few of its cuisines like balti gosht, chappli kababs and jalfrezi chicken. Then in the evenings you can enjoy kashmiri tea with gajar ka halwa all over the places.

It is interesting how each city develops certain markers of its distinct culture. In Pakistan, during Basant or any kite flying competition, there is always competitions between Karachi and Lahore made shrp threads (called manjhas or dore).

BTW, I think best chholey in NY are at Jackson Diner in Jackson Height, particularly over the weekends.

Re : Krashid #259

Actually ``KamZaat`` is two words. So shouldn`t the short be K.Z ?

Interesting that you`ve heard this being widely used in India. I`ve been in India since i was born 27 years ago and believe me, I`ve never heard anybody using it on me. If anyone called me with that name, I would have been justified and appreciated for breaking the teeth and kicking the ass of the caller.

BTW, do people in pakistan ``love`` to use ``K for Kafir``? I mean, are they so enthusiastic about it?
