Ref hindvi #363

[I have for long preached the same thing in india, that it should unilaterally ease its visa policy with pakistan issuing visas at the border, with a cavity check.....]

Oh boy! Ali_1 is salivating at the thought that he could possibly go through the security check repeatedly without having to actually enter India!

forget islam why dont you begin with reforming pakistan, lower your trade barriers towards india, and gain both the static and dynamic advantages of free trade. beginning with cheaper helmets, put the rent seekers on pan and guthka out of business. this will raise your and our income bringing us closer to the 4000$ cut off set up by fareed Zakaria for sustainable democracy with rule of law.

I suggest working on making your visa policy more lenient so harimou & co. can visit and find out for themself there isnt anything to worry aboutniswar snorting pashtoons. scaling back our defence expenditure and thus freeing up some real moolah on your side for education.

soon india will loosen its visa policy and bands of young pakistani men (and women) will come do their jhatakas at the discos of bangalore and calcutta, forcing the MMA to allow sale of western music in your pind or risk loosing their constituency to the nautch bars of bombay. There can be no surer way for liberalism to come in than to see hijabans do their thing on the dance floor.

Pal you I and the rest of chowk cant change a word of the quran but we can help bring western/hindoo beghairati to your qaum.

maybe one day this movement will spred west through taliban land to arabistan too, and all your fantasies will come true, as people boogie the night away at the bars of arabi ?.

I have for long preached the same thing in india, that it should unilaterally ease its visa policy with pakistan issuing visas at the border, with a cavity check, so that the sameers can pay obeseince at their chandni bars, echobooms can check out the moti and shahi masjids and conform that they are abad, and naqshbandi can swing by bareilly and Ajmer sharif. take the edge of the hostility and let the memons and khojas from KSE check out the huge bucks to be made.

ferozk,

...... you are right - if things are allowed to take their normal course it will be at least 500 years before the muslims discover stand-up urinals, democracy and civil society .......... but the whole process can be accelerated and completed in less than a hundred years if the civilized world were to occupy the muslim lands and rule the unruly natives with an iron hand .......... now, you might say the british, the french and other colonialists had the opportunity .... they did, but then they were more interested in tea and diamonds and studying native cultures and chasing exotic butterflies, than in civilizing the savages ......... this time around they will realize that their own survival is at stake ...........

........... the other option is to set up a board of six people, three men and three women, to rewrite the koran - i will volunteer, so we need five more people .............

harimau: i see you have a second post to me, despite my telling you i did not wish to waste time with your gibberish. second time around i decided to read your post, and i see you have a question:

``Would anybody ban a single mosque from using loudspeakers for its call to prayer on the basis that it might inflame non-Muslims? ``

Here is my response: Yes.

PS: If you have read what i have been said a number of times on chowk, I am against the use of loudspeakers not just in one mosque but in all mosques - for the simple reason that in my view religion (any religion) is a personal matter between man and God and it does not belong in the streets. If I had my way, there would be no loudspeakers in mosques. Knowing your mindset, you will find this answer hard to accept, but that is your problem not mine.

and btw, I dont care whether or not the followers of modi are inflamed by something or not - we pakistanis have the means to inflame your hero modi`s or advani`s or any other filthy hindutva`s lungi if he ever tries anything with us (as advani has learnt after wetting his lungi a couple of times after trying to act tough with pakistan). Furthermore, protecting religious minorities within india from hindutva thugs is india`s problem, not something pakistan can or needs to do anything about. personally if i dont see another article on india`s communal problems on chowk i would not be the least bit concerned. we have better things to do in pakistan than to start worrying about india`s problems.

PPS: I am not interested in wasting more time with a stupid man like you, so will not be responding any further posts you may address to me (although i can always change my mind if i have wish to have a bit of fun with a moron like you).

re:#332 by dost-mittar
The inconsistency is in her thought process. She would not like to see an Indian muslim woman on star search wearing a revealing dress but would not mind dressing herself in a similar manner.

mannyd: When i refer to someone in a negative manner, i have a reason to do that.

When I call this man immature it is for a reason: his standard way of addressing anyone he disagrees with is to ridicule his nick. That is something that would be considered immature and stupid even if it came from a 5 year old, let alone a man or 20 or 30 years.

When i call Harimau a little man, that too was for a reason: despite the fact that he is an educated man, he is incapable of rising above the mob mentality when he defends the murder of innocent people in gujerat as being revenge for the murder of other innocent people in godhra. That is clearly the mark of a small-minded man. It also indicates a lack of respect for human life - in other words, the mindset of a murderer.

Post #351

(you does not mean you personally)

Sir, I can accept that questions raised by me may require an essay but you will appreciate that choice of the words, which are not only questionable but are very difficult to substantiate, is yours (do not mean you personally). You chose those words. So it is for you to define explain to others those terms, when they are found to be questionable.

Muslim elite was lulled that is something which you would have very, very hard time to show leave alone proving it. And I have plenty of evidence in the form of speeches in the Parliament itself, some letters of Pt Nehru himself and I can find more on those lines which will show that there was no way in the world the muslim elite or anyone else could have had been lulled (a very questionable term) into.

Was muslim elite in anyway threat to hindus or hindu elite? What muslim elite could have done if they were not ``lulled into`` as per you? Where was the need for hindus to lull muslim elite? Or for that matter, for muslim elite itself? I am questioning the term `lulled into` used by you.

Likewise, I am still waiting to see how you justify the term `fascinated` used for Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in relation to his workings with Hitler. Who or which normal person would like to be known as fascinated with a psychopath/devil/evil and so on? You either change the word or explain to us how is that applicable.

Tahmad32:
``harmiau: While I am greatly impressed by your ability to address people by different nicks than the ones they have (for an immature little man like you i realize that is an achievement), I have better things to do than enter into arguments with scum like you. I did not read your post addressed to me (you may find this hard to believe), and advise you to go lick Modi`s rear end. ``

Are you a mature big man Tahmad? How long have you been using this conversational style?

rajsinghi#337:
Your questions require an essay, not an interact for a proper response, except that you misinterpreted my sentence ``The Ramayan-Mahabharat serials, though third rate productions from the few that I saw, gave hindus the pride in themselves and the Shah Bano case gave them the opportunity to remove the mask of political correctness from their speeches, further emboldened by the de-pariah-isation of the BJP from the political mainstream. `` It only means that it made it acceptable for the educated hindus to openly describe themselves belonging to the bjp. Let alone hindus, bjp does not even equate with hindutva, which to me seems even more nebulous a concept than hinduism itself.

hindvi:
That institute was Sri Ram Centre for Industrial Relations, later renamed as Sri Ram Centre for Human Resources.

ferozk:
It`s for such occasions that Ghalib wrote, ``khaak ho jaayenge hum un tum ko khabar hone tak`` :).

Ref ferozk #342

Your dates are wishful thinking and nothing else.

If you apply the same logic, India should have had a secular government by something like 500 AD. The fact that just 90 years after the British rule was established all over India India became a democratic secular country should be proof that 90 years is enough to ``civilize`` people. By that token, Pakistan should also be a secular democratic republic today. You can blame the Army, the mullahs, the bureaucracy or Islam for Pakistan`s current predicament.

I think I will blame Islam.
