Re: # 170

ntsyed,

...... your mealy-mouthed post/sermon would have been okay and one could mistake you for a harmless evangelical muslim who means no harm, but when you say, ``Let the truth be told, there is no other deity other than ALLAH, and to consider others as one is shirk – punishable by death in shari’a`` it puts you back firmly in the camp of wild-eyed jihadis who are bent upon wreaking death and destruction on the `unbelievers`.............. i hope you will reconsider your position before your iman drives you to suicide or homicide ..........

Reg. #157
As-salaam o’alaikum wa rahmatullah, ya ukhti fursa sayeeda!

Wallahi, if I had what you ask me beyond what I have to survive, I would not hesitate to ask for raqam-al-hissabak.

Wa-idha, in-nallaha yerzaqu munyasha, wallahu ‘ala kulli shae’in qadeer! whenever I can I will insha Allah.

Besides, my meager knowledge is what I value most, thus I share with whomever I can, and expect they will share theirs with me.

Please pardon my gulabi Arabic, as you can see I’m at the beginning of that learning curve.

I like the name you’ve given me … it has a very affectionate ring to it.
Jazak-Allah-o-khairan ya ukhti.
M’as-salaama

Re: # 163

malik sahib,

............. you really want me to rationally discuss the elements of usury and islamic banking with the likes of mr. ntsyed?......... i am sitting here looking at my statement from citibank pakistan where the rupee account shows a ``profit`` and the fe25 dollar account shows ``interest`` !!!! .......... but here is the kicker - unlike most good muslims, interest or profit, i am going to declare it on my tax return .....

........ you see, malik mian, there are some people who are quite beyond the pale and should not be humored ........ constructive engagement does not work with the lunatic fringe - it is a waste of time ............ eventually, as you pointed out, they will blow themselves up .............

hamidm #162 - ``sorry ..... the rules of civility do not apply to groups like the nazis, kkk, rss and others of their ilk ...........``

Hamidm sahib, had you countered ntsyeds arguments (right or wrong) with your arguments (right or wrong), your above statement could have been given the benefit of doubt.

But unfortunately, after resorting to the childish `nutty syed` kind of jokes, your statement now seems more like the rant of an illiterate mullah (who calls everything a `yahoodi saazish`), rather than the reasoning of a well-read and civilized human being.

hamidm #158 writes ``do you mind if i use the term ``nutty syed`` to address the latest addition to the chowk`s lunatic fringe ? ``

It is obvious and truly sad that when `civility`, `freedom` and `western tolerance` preaching folks like hamidm can`t respond to arguments, they resort to name calling and utter rudeness. ntsyed has NOT once resorted to this kind of behaviour, because his arguments, right or wrong, are enough of a response. Resorting to this childish ``nutty syed`` kind of jokes say more about YOUR thinking and ``civilization`` then it does about what ntsyed represents.

Hamidm sahib, very often I have seen you calling the people who oppose your point of view as ``bombers``. However, seeing you going beserk by ntsyed`s postings, it seems as if you yourself are the same clueless, emotional, and dumb ``bomber``.

How little it takes to scrub your layers of ``civility`` and `western tolerance` and see your true picture! I know that the hypocrisy of illiterate maulvis causes people to turn away from Islam. But on the other side, its also the hypocrisy, arrogonce and rudeness of people like you (as depicted on this board) that keeps common people wary of west - and thus depriving them a chance of picking the good western traits.

hamidm:

click on this link (you will have to sign in on chowk to access)… HERE

this is the filth our infamous abdul-hate the purveyor of morality and islam aka as echoboom writes as chusni unprovocatively on the unplugged section of off the wall…and FYI he also interacts under some female nicks as well…

so much for his righteous indignations and call to islam for now ….

Re: # 159

temporal mian,

...... people like echo abdul hate scare the crap out of me because inspite of my protestations to the contrary, my blasphemous attitude and disdain for conventional religion, i am a deeply spiritual person (don`t laugh !)............. the problem is that my faith is kind of quirky and a little erratic ............ for example, over the last few months i prayed like hell to all known and unknown divine beings, including al-lah and jesus, to have mercy on a dear friend dying of cancer .......... unfortunately, nobody answered and he passed away two weeks ago .................. now i am hopping mad - what good are these dieties if they don`t answer when you really need them .........

.......... but i am sure i will still invoke the gods the next time i really need help - but it might be in yet another unconventional setting and in an unconventional manner ......... a few years ago i had an epiphany of sorts one afternoon while i was alone in the cathedral in mainz, germany ............ no kidding ! .......... i actually felt her presence and for a moment thought that gabriel was going to show up with a message for me .......... luckily, he didn`t ........... but, as i left the cathedral i looked at the magnificient structure with its soaring ceilings and massive stone arches and i thought about all the poor people, dying of hunger and pestilence, who had toiled and died to create this monstrous edifice while the cardinals and priests in silk and velvet looked on .......... it sent a shudder down my spine ...........ntsyed and echo have a similar effect ............

khamkhwa,

....... do you mind if i use the term ``nutty syed`` to address the latest addition to the chowk`s lunatic fringe ? (no snide remarks, please) ....... i like it -it has a nice ring to it

temporal mian,

........ and furthermore, there is no profit in being a syed since it is not permissible to give zakat to the family of mohammad , i.e. the banu hashim.............the banu hashim is made of the following families: sayyidna ali, abbaas, jafar, aqeel and harith.............. but (as usual!) there is a way out : it is permissible to give lillah to these miserable souls (i am sure ntsyed sahib can confirm this)........so it might be worthwhile investing in irs..............

.........actually i am thinking of opening up a franchise of bari imam - my wonderful hometown pir ...........being a spiritual person, i always used to go to his annual urs and partake of the wonderful bhang that his malangs would serve up - heavenly !............. i am just waiting for marijuana to be legalized ..........

temporal,



....... true story: at my brother-in-laws passing out parade in risalpur when they announced his name his father and mother were amazed to find out that his last name was ``chaudary`` !........... when they confronted the young man he declared that his father`s last name was not befitting of a dashing pilot - not macho enough !......... the man didn`t even stop to think that he was taking on the hindoo name of his forefathers !

............. i have a lot of syeds, quraishis and ansaris in my family and, as far as i am concerned, they are all the descendents of kafirs and pagans from mecca and medina ..........i am happy with being a brahmin
