AAmir #140 ``May be i have multiple nicks b/c i am a batterd husband & henpecked!!!!Would you then excuse my negativity & admit me with the Angels permanently``

Seriously, you make more sense than a lot of people on chowk (except when one of your nicks disagrees with me, thus displaying a complete lack of understanding of the issue concerned), and you seem to be an amiable chap, not vicious like some others (including self too, I may add, but only when mad at someone else). But then you use one of your multiple nicks to send in the post to chowk and ruin it all - you may be a ``battered husband & henpecked`` in real life (and perhaps some long suffering chowkies would be delighted if that was true I am sure, although I bet you are not even married and dream about taking your cute schoolteacher out on a date), but on chowk you are more like a chicken whose perfectly fine eggs are ignored since the chicken sometimes claims to be a rooster sometimes, sometimes a duck, sometimes Fatimah, sometimes Bhardwaj...

anNy,

1) So it was a misunderstanding, I am sorry.

2) Go read Harimau the tolerant has been saying for over 2 years now. He deserved to be called what I called him... he is what he is. I am shocked that anyone would take umbrage for one`s calling a spade a spade.

3) Sameerjb is sadly one of those people who have that pessimistic view of everything which is nothing but destructive for the nation. I admire his assessment of things, but it pains me to see a man like him without an discernible vision for the future of Pakistan. He is bad news despite his great potential.

What I have said, done, or propagated is NOTHING but the truth which is often a bitter pill to swallow... the Wisdom of my words will be understood and revealed to everyone as Time goes on.

As for myself, I am important not as an individual, there were many like me, there are many like me, and there will be many like me... but it is the importance of my message that makes me important and worthwhile. And there is none so great a truth that I have spoken now.

-YLH

``Would you stop taking public shots at me?``

sweetie where have i done that on this board? point out EXACTLY where and the number of the post..i havent mentioned you here once also and me thinks u were going a lil wild and decided to pick on me for want of a better target...well you know what yasser? you dont pick on me betae..im going to kick your cute lil ass henceforth..JUST A MINUTE..are you saying you were stupid enough to think the mentioning of 2 budtameezyoung men to mrs.tahmed was reference to you? jeezizz...the refernce was to stuka and ali as everyone here will know...were i to mention you, it would conmtain egoistic, wierd, very strange, sadly unstable, highly rude and a potential etc etc..OKAY?

``Why do you think you are so damn important``

because i AM important...and so do you think sweetness..only you disguise it behind all those claims you repeatedly make (dont ask me to recount..dont have time or energy) while i make no excuses..i love myself and there are no excuses and explainations to be made for that

``.. I have only responded in kind to those who have done so with me, I have never abused insulted or harangued anyone who has maintained a peaceful posture. Even with the likes of P-Mishra,...``

do i look like i care?

``You are hell bent like an immature child to provoke me. And you have a number of buddhay bachay supporting you who have nothing better to do.``

if you speak to me in this manner again yasser, and especially when no reference has been made to you, youll be responsibble for what happens...mind how you speak to me, im not harimau who ignored your dog comparisons or smaeerjb who has the patience to ignore your ramblings. you want to shoot off, go do it with someone else, dont you dare behave like a spoilt little child with me on the basis of an interaction we had previously. if i say something to you, come right back. But fazool mae agar budtameezi karree hae aglee baar, acha nahin hoga, samajh ayee?

anNy

Would you stop taking public shots at me? Why do you think you are so damn important.. I have only responded in kind to those who have done so with me, I have never abused insulted or harangued anyone who has maintained a peaceful posture. Even with the likes of P-Mishra, I initially responded with the utmost respect... therefore, as you can go back and see, I have not said anything `badtameez` to you. You are hell bent like an immature child to provoke me. And you have a number of buddhay bachay supporting you who have nothing better to do.

It time you took off your hat of self righteousness, and gave up your notions of propriety that you may think you possess and which you want to enforce on others... Conformity is NOT the name of the Game, and I`ll be damned if I give into such overtly pious bullying.

Live and let live.

Peace!

YLH

PS Every one goes through the phase where one thinks that one is somehow morally another`s superior... this however is just a phase, and it will pass.. but for now, you are no different from the Jamaatias in your History class.

sattar2: Thanks for the explanation of the Ahmedi message, as opposed to the prophethood issues associated with Ahmedis which I had indicated was not the substantive issue in my view. I need to attend to some other things right now, and may get back with a more thought-through post later.

To semipreciousme, anNy, roohi and Aamir (I was in two minds on whether to include Aamir with the angels on account of his multiple nicks, but he did write a nice post and we can always use those on chowk): Thanks for the good wishes and kind words. There are some idiots on chowk, and a number good people too as anNy points out. In fact more good people than idiots, I think, and it just seems that there are more idiots.

PS: anNY: post #130 is a fake, although no doubt the real mrs.ahmed would agree with it. She thinks, e.g., that I spend too much time ``chatting with strangers on chowk``. Fortunately, one can have a perfectly happy marriage without requiring that both individuals be perfect human beings, or agree fully on everything.

re:Reply #: 123

sattar2,

You are right when you say religious teachings of prophets got corrupted over time and hence the need for reinforcing the original teachings by a new prophet.

You also say among other religions, hinduism started with belief in oneness of God and got corrupted along the way. That is your opinion and is certainly not a fact. You are perhaps not aware of the teachings of Vedas and Upanishads which emphasise Oneness of God and celebrate Him in all His myriads of manifestations. Vishnu Purana says ``Akashat patitam toyam yatha gachati sagaram, sarva deva namskarah Keshavam pratigachati`` meaning : Just like all the rainwater from the skies finally reach the Ocean, worship of Gods finally reach the same source (one supreme God). This belief is held by all hindus. That is why you do not find hindus killing each other on religious beliefs. Shaivites and Vishnuvites (followers of Shiva and Vishnu) do not kill each other. They used to quarrel over who was a better God! Not anymore. All these Gods are worshipped with respect with the belief that these are just images of the same God, who though formless and One, can assume any form per the wishes of His devotees. Today we see Shias and Sunnis killing each other in Pakistan. Such things do not happen among hindus. There struggle today is caste based and not religion based. Even a low caste Hindu (i abhor the word low caste but i use it to convey a meaning) worships the same God as a high caste hindu.

Hence, get your facts straight about other religions. I agree that the prophet of Ahmadiyas did a great service in highlighting the fact that the real jihad is in our minds and that is where we should be fighting the jihad and not in the battlefields.

Sridhar

“but then the Rock showed up and said HE was the People`s Champion...they settled it at Wrestlemania X8 and it turned out The Rock IS the last prophet.”

….sigh…being a hogan fan, this was pretty sad…..but wasn’t the part where they kissed and hugged just the sweetest?….

a very erudite rendition of iqbal`s thought but there is one area where i disagree. it was not iblees who accepted his role in the scheme of thiings if you recall in the quran it is adam who seeks forgiveness and says it is i who was forgetful. adam mind you was aware even at that time that everything was willed by God he knew his role in the game he knew he was meant to fall victim to iblis`s ploy and he accepted his role. you see all the angels bowed to adam when he was created that means the angels of intellect alos bowed and the quran says above every knower is another knower and adam recited the names of all the angels and creatures he was not deprived of intellect he knew what was happenning he submitted without complaining. Iblis complained to his Lord, you made me do this, with all hisknowledge he did not submit to his role.

Adam was the first insan e kamil. i agree that challenges bring out the best in man adversity builds character and we associate negative events in our lives as originating from the negative spectrum of creation which we call iblis but we forget there is a negative spectrum to the names God Himself has chosen to be called by, the Destroyer,the Wrathful, the Majestic, the Transcendent the Misguider, the role of ibless in islamic thought is not out of God`s control as is thought in Christian mythology he is simply a tool as well and he is the instrument by which God tests the mettle of his cretaures
