FV(#1) You`ve said what I came on to say.

This morning when I entered my college, a junior came running to me, smiling so wide, all 32 teeth showing, yelling, ``Mubarik Mubarik!!`` Before he said a word I figured out what he was happy about. I did not have the courage to hear people celebrating deaths, so I turned back right away, ``Mujay aik zaroori kaam yaad aa gya hai``, and came back home.

Ras:

A touching piece indeed!

Like FerzanaVersey, I find it equally disgusting to read

(http://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/02/international/middleeast/02CND-ARAB.html)

that the islamic world is already into ``Praise Be to Allah``with heavy emphasis on Palestine, Texas :)-

President Bush spoke for the entire world when he said ``The same creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today. The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to earth but we can pray they are safely home``.

Ras:
At this time, it is disgusting to read that Arabs are celebrating because an Israeli was on board, and disturbing to know that there are already whispers in the West of a terrorist plot. Looks like no one has heard about accidents...

Every tragedy is fair game these days.
