re: Shah # 326

Shah,

``Muslims in Indias are encouraged to move Islam underground religion in your mosque ,madrasah & house if you care.``

People of all religions should be encouraged to move their religions to their places of worship, their homes, and their hearts. Ofcourse, all those lovely processions and colorful festivals are a boon to the public. But otherwise, religion, whether Hindu or Muslim, has no business being on the streets. Definitely not when it is being used as a pretext for inciting hatred against others and indulging in violent acts threatening life and property.

reason #335
Do you know anything about Syed Shahabuddin and his various stands? He is an ex-IFS topper(I heard) and is a talented man I think (with a talented family, too). I have not followed him closely, recently he was one of the leaders who protested the banning of SIMI.

Harpreet #33 and #34: Your posts are like gold nuggets in a manure factory.

As for the article itself, it gives mediocrity a bad name. Mian sahib provides a bibliography to an article that provides as much new knowledge as one gets when reading the letters A, B and C. The message of the article (the west hates us) is as profound as the message of a village mullah on a Friday prayer.

Anti-Semitism Is Deepening Among Muslims

By SUSAN SACHS



Stay in a five-star hotel anywhere from Jordan to Iran, and you can buy the infamous forgery ``Protocols of the Elders of Zion.`` Pick up a newspaper in any part of the Arab world and you regularly see a swastika superimposed on the Israeli flag.

Such anti-Semitic imagery is now embedded in the mainstream discourse concerning Jews in much of the Islamic world, in the popular press and in academic journals.

The depictions are not limited to countries that are at war with Israel but can be found in general-interest publications in Egypt and Jordan, the two countries that have signed peace agreements with Israel, as well as in independent religious schools in Pakistan and Southeast Asia.

RE: Reply #: 312 Asif Naqshbandi

``It is funny how my prayer--which just asked Allah to remove the chains of slavery from the Muslims of India and restore them to their former glory and for each Muslim child to have pride in his Muslim ancestors and to renew in them the fervour of their past--so upset a few hindus on here.I said nothing bad against anyone in that humble little prayer.``

Brotherly Muslim love has been responsible for more killings in Pakistan in the last year than all the killings in religious riots in India in the past decade. Brotherly Pakistani love has laid waste the entire country of Afghanistan (of course a few greenbacks caused Pakistan to shift it`s brotherly love towards the U.S.). And brotherly Pakistani love for Bangladeshi resulted in the deaths of 3 million Muslims.

Meanwhile poor Muslims in India are taking such horrible steps backward - like Azim Premji being a measly billionaire or Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan making movies that are technically equivalent to the West or Jinnah`s grandson being a top industrialist or even Muslims being full and equal participants in the democratic experiment that is India. And of course we have Abdul Kalaam who can design a rocket that we can then fire up your a * *e.

Sheesh

``BTW, since you are from India have you heard of Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan of Bareilly Sharif, U.P.?``

Janab ! all the sharif`s of Bareilly have migrated

to Pakistan alongwith the followers of Raza Khan,

and the zaalim kafirs have renamed Bareilly as

Bareilly.Toba Toba:)))

RE UCC:

I do not think implementation of UCC will bring about a more just system in india . Laws are laws and people misuse them whether they are divine laws or man made laws . but i do agree that there should be one law for one country and it should have been codified at the time of independence . i do not know why the leaders of freedom struggle did not implement it at that time . as far as i know it was not for appeasing the muslims as our sanghis want us believe .

atleast for past few years the champions of UCC had been the jan sanghis and again these idiots have misused a very valid issue and created an impression that UCC is anti muslim . and ofcourse there are so called muslim leaders who have done nothing in political career beside making muslims insecure about UCC .

Pakistani brothers and sisters

Assalamualaikum. We are doing well. Thanks for your concern. Makhfi has been reading too much Jamati literature. Our problems are not more difficult than Pakistan`s problems. We have a bigger country. Bigger problems. I am involved in local politics. I know how Indian mind works. I know we can solve our problems. Urstruly, Asif, both of you go to hell.

``u r right. the baboons need a mahmood ghaznavi... judging the their reactions, the dhotis are beginning to get wet already with fear. cowardly bride burning thugs. maybe this time mahmood will plant enough seeds so the baboons can evolve to neanderthals...``

Ali: are you watching Jay Leno? According to him, thereb is a virgin shortage in your paradise. Relax, you may may get a `restored` virgin if and when get there.

Asif Naqshbandi: 312

``It is funny how my prayer--which just asked Allah to remove the chains of slavery from the Muslims of India and restore them to their former glory and for each Muslim child to have pride in his Muslim ancestors and to renew in them the fervour of their past--so upset a few hindus on here.I said nothing bad against anyone in that humble little prayer.``

I hope your prayer works. I hope Alla restores glory to all Indians and Pakistanis regardless of their faith.

Ref Zafar #304:

[But I will certainly keep my eye out for any Turkish/other Meditterranean ladies on your behalf - please do send details so that I can circulate here. (My flatmate is from Cyprus, but Greek. How about somebody from there? Also many Lebanese people here in Sydney.)]

I once met a Greek(mother)/Turkish(father) girl in Denver. Golden hair and flawless golden skin; she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Go for it, guys!

PS. Was it Emperor Chandragupta Maurya who was given a Greek girl in marriage? Lucky dude!
