malik and urstruly, i hope and prey that your family members are around to catch the action when next time time one of your beloved muslims from fata do their thing:

http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20040807_416.html

``_ _ _The men, part of a previously unknown group called Jundallah, or Allah`s Brigade, are also believed to have been involved in recent attacks on Shiite Muslim mosques in Karachi.

Both Rahman and Bajwa received training in October and November of 2003 in South Waziristan at an alleged al-Qaida facility and shooting range on the property of tribal leader Eda Khan.

The camp near Shakai, a town of mud-brick compounds surrounded by mountains and forests, was overrun by the army in June following the arrests in Karachi. Eda Khan surrendered and is in custody.``

Another dark day in the history of Pakistan

Shaukat aziz got ``elected``

We have been raped again in broad day light. God save us all.

I do not see your point. Why should we be soft on fukking rapists, their aiders and abeters?

I can see a lot of good coming out of this episode.

Cowasjee will be much more aware of the true nature of our dictators. He will also understand that it is NOT ok to KILL people who are not liberal or have different views about the direction in which Pakistan should go. There are religious people in US living amicably with the non-religious people. But no one advocates lessening the role of religion in US via killing of religious people - even if religious people bomb abortion clinics, physically block access to abortion clinics, or threaten state legislatures into legalizing ``theory of evolution`` as the ONLY legitimate theory.

In short, when you cheer on the killings of the people who think differently (instead of a having a dialogue), then sooner or later someone will find you guilty of thinking ``differently`` too.

I satopped reading Dawn and Cowasjee four years ago. His articles before 1999 were purposely Anti civilians in Pakistan.
Somebody needs to explore his financial dealings with Beram Avari. I know they are co-religionist and Beram is a major army supporter in Karachi.

Cowasjee states ``How is it that a minister of General Musharraf`s own government is using terrorist tactics out of pique and out of having been somewhat exposed? And what connection do his words have with either enlightenment or moderation?``

Subhan`Allah! I am glad that Cowasjee finally sees the terrorist policies of the thugs who are ruling Pakistan today. Unfortunately, he sees it only when he is himself on the wrong end of the stick. Did he speak up when Musharraf uses gunship helicopters at fleeing civilians in Wana? Did he send him e.mails that he should not be using army against his own population?

Unfortunately Cowasjee stumbled and did something that was not liked. And NOW he knows how much ``freedom`` and ``moderation`` is being imported in Pakistan from US.

I`ve got no opinion either way on what`s been written by syed ali...

I do have a problem with the vulgarity used by a response to the article.

Strong feelings sometimes evoke strong emotions and words... regardless of where one comes down on what`s been written... I can`t really see the point for the profanity.

Syed Ali

I am disappointed in you. I thought you were quite enlightened politically. Why do you support a fauji establsihment`s stooge?

Even in 80s when I started reading Cowasjee (later I stopped reading him for years), I was of the opinion that guy is just a hustler who knows how to use his pen. Several of my friends agreed. The final nail in the coffin was when he openly supported this despot Musharaf when later raped our constitution and and also when he again gang raped us by this by-election of a twat named Shaukat Aziz. Ardeshir Cwasjee has lost my respect. He can go fukk himself now. Or better yet, let this feudal lord do that for us.
