kaurasuch: ``:Stop blaming others what your fellow ``braathers`` brought upon you. ``

Show me anything I wrote to back your statement. In fact I am saying the opposite. It was obviously high noon (being a sardar, you will understand what I mean) for you when you wrote this.

This is amazing. Even in the US, with all the paranoia since 9/11, all you need is a picture ID, not a passport. Makes sense since many americans don`t have a passport. Yours appears to be a case of profiling based on your appearance and your name and perhaps your accent. In the future, carry a digital voice recorder with you so you can record your conversations.

nb: i dont hate anyone. for indians, i just feel sorry for the pathetic creeps who show up on chowk and puff themselves and start acting as if the world shares the indian hatred for pakistanis. this seems to be a national delusion among indians. indians are alone in their hatred for pakistan - and they dont matter since 1 billion indians is still not enough to pose any danger to pakistan. pakistanis just need to come to chowk once in a while when they start feeling to hospitable and friendly to indians though.

of course, we also have pathetic pakistanis like shahid mahmood who is all to ready to start whining. i dont hate them either, just feel sorry for them.

kaurasuch #21 I see you ducked the challenge I posed to you to back your statement. That is very clever given that in your case time seems to have stopped at high noon. However, being on high noon, you forgot that on chowk you cant duck and you cant lie. But dont worry - by now i have caught about a dozen of your countrymen telling lies on chowk. Seems to be an epidemic (a kind of a moral equivalent of the AIDs epidemic that is spreading like wildfire in India, if you know what I mean despite it being high noon for you all the time).

Shahid

I must commend you for bringing this injustice to the fore on various forra. But lately I have not been very hopeful in the syetm of checks and balances that whiteman has established in their countries. The anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hatered and bigotry that has been scietifically being injected into their societies for so many decades is not going to go away. It is here to stay. Today a point has come that these people do not even consider Arabs or Muslims as human beings. Had there not been a strong tradition of law and order in their societies, they would have exterminated their Muslim populations by now. Muslims are not safe because of their moral values but only because of their laws. But now they have slowly ammending their laws as well - profiling was just a begining.

Ref veeresh #7

[Frankly, I don`t know what Shahid is getting upset about. ...

b) Getting denied a ticket for short journeys is no big deal anymore, in many parts of the world, especially if you are buying tickets ``on the spot``. Can you imagine trying to buy a ticket from, say, Kuwait to Dammam? Or maybe from Delhi to Lahore?]

Kuwait-to-Dammam and Lahore-to-Delhi are international flights. Vancouver-to-Victoria is a domestic flight.

I used to be able to board the Washington, DC-New York (La Guardia) shuttle without a ticket and pay on board. They did it because of the added convenience for the passenger. And if you didn`t have a seat on the flight you wanted to take, there was always another one in an hour.

Urstruly#24:
``But lately I have not been very hopeful in the syetm of checks and balances that whiteman has established in their countries.``

That`s an exaggersation. ``. I am aware of the warts in the Canadian system and wrote about them in ``Outsourcing Torture``, but the system works when you squeal and Shahid is doing the right thing by squealing. His case is not over yet. It`s more a matter of ``der`` than of ``andher.

`Can you imagine how hypocritical some of your questions appear to the average Joe Canadian Government person? `

Why should this seem hypocritical??? this is a Candian citizen asking his govt. for an explanation.
