Mr. Gardezi,

A really nice and intriguing article from you. I just came from the US after a period of 6years and I took a class that I dreaded to take and yea, it was none other than Sociology. But it did a trick on me and that was to get me to think freely and differently.

Anyhow, I am experiecing a lot of things that you experienced in Pakistan after a while but no matter what, the soil of the homeland has no substitute.
Umer

[Now either you are extremely stupid, or you are from Rutgers...]

Er... would you care to re-phrase that?

He is from Rutgers. We all know that. So, your humour sounds buggered up now. As to the other, one doesn`t have to be one to be recognized as one by the real one! Got it? Say it. Or, has Orrisa and Bengal eaten up your tongue?

Did you go to Chinnai again to see what percentage of Muslims are bad in Mathematics? Or was it, that they were good at a second [third?] language.

re: slink

Dear Shanhana

Teething pains? hmm... if i were in melbourne i would have believed you! but i am here in pakistan, inhaling the poisonous air of karachi as i write these lines. have been travelling a lot in country Sindh and punjab and experiencing life as it is for ordinary people of pakistan... ... i am overwhelmed, shocked, depressed, confused, humbled and absolutely disgusted with what i have experienced so far...i am afraid we have cancer on our hands.

My only supporter on Chowk.

Thanks.

Can you allow me to add four more curses.

No, he doesn`t, since he is both!

Adnan_671 #292

I came back here after a long time and noticed a few posts. Along with some others I found a number of yours written in a cocky, adversarial, and aggressive mizaaj.

I couldn`t help but notice that your bravado was probably genuine but born of the tunnel vision nurtured by ``trained incapacity`` which all ``specialties`` are, so that the higher the level of ``trained incapacity``, the higher the level of general, categorical and dismissive ignorance.

Avoid this tendency; it sounds puerile.

Incidentally, is this the manner in which one cites the references to treatises? How am I going to find them, to educate myself and/or to check yours?

* * * * * *



Any discussion of Mr. Maududi and `his` Wahabi-ism, as witnessed by him through a rather detailed analysis of Charlie`s Angels, during his stay in the States at his son`s place in Buffalo, N.Y., his damnation of, [the Kuffr ka garrh], America [in a statement on return to Pakistan] where only Kaffirs should come to live

or visit -- maybe by this time he had become

aware of the detailed nature of the ``Kuffr-ana`` practices, more even than he could stomach,

of some doctors -- and his return to this `house of kuffr` due to his ill-health at a later time, must take place off these pages. Care to correspond on these matters?

A.N:

I will write the episode in few days. Hopefully, over the weekend, if I found sometime.

Later,

You know the problem with Islam today is that it is caught up in this fancy that Naqshbandis and other such foolish religio-mystical orders create... Its time we got rid of these fools!

Ulta chor kotwal ko dante... aray mian barbarian hon gay app, aur app kay abba jaan, aur app kay dadda jaan, aur app kay pardaada jaan.

You have paid attention to one part of Zahra`s advice... why dont you pay attention to the other part of her advice.

Dear Zahra,

Please go ahead and write about your interaction with Imam Hamza as you said earlier. I am still most interested in the whole matter. BTW, you never know, my response might not be as you anticipate (or it might!!)

Thanks for your advice about the barbarian--you are correct. ``Jawaab e jahilaaN khamoshi baashad``!

Zahra,

The comment that Rsaxena made was in response to Neurogen, who brought up the fact that I had cursed in a similar fashion earlier on the Siqafat Board.

I love and understand Islam much more than this Talibani wannabe can ever do!

Next time you decide to call me the enemy of Islam remember that had it not been for my great ancestor you would not have Islam!

Yasser:

Your humor was in a very poor taste! In fact, I do not even think you have ANY sense to differentiate between humor and vulgarity.

Deplorable!


A. Naqshbandi:

I feel that if someone apologizes he should be taken seriously unless he portrays otherwise. My initial feeling was that Yasser felt apologetic, but I doubt it now. The best you can do and you should do is completely ignore him.

I am still keen to narrate the episode and would be all ears to hear your input. I am also 100% positive that your input will not be very pleasing to my ears...but so what. At least you have the basic decency to talk than utter vulgarities like others.

Kind Regards,
