Dear Allah

good news(BeeJay)/bad news (miriam):

first the good news...finally the beasts are stirring...not!...heartening to note from one who frequenly proclaims from this perch that he is against the loss of a single civilian life at the hands of a civilian, a state or an organisation....and is known to invite others of the endangered species known as the human race to join him in this declaration...

joint statement from canadian imams

arjunm is slipping in his diligence or he is only a bad news bear;)

TORONTO (CP) - More than 120 Islamic religious leaders from across Canada issued a declaration Thursday denouncing acts of terrorism as a ``perversion`` of their faith and challenged Muslims to confront extremism.
``Anyone who claims to be a Muslim and participates in any way in the taking of innocent life is betraying the very spirit and letter of Islam,`` said the statement, which was read aloud by Imam Ahmad Kutty of the Islamic Institute of Toronto at the downtown Masjid mosque.

The declaration was organized by the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) and signed by imams representing Muslim communities across the country. It was intended as a response to the first London bombings July 7, but in a terrible twist of fate wound up being made public on another day of violence in the city.

``We categorically and unequivocally reject such acts. We will confront and challenge the extremist mindset that produces this perversion of our faith,`` said Kutty, who read the declaration to the media and about 50 male worshippers who stayed to listen after performing their midday prayers.

``It is our religious duty as imams to confront this evil,`` Kutty told reporters after his statement.

``It is our duty to preach against all kinds of extremism. . .and educate people (on) what Islam really means.``

and the bad news miriam: the sales of condoms have not gone up...appreciably...more ground work needed...volunteers? NGOs?

t-bhai is totally honest man, and we can`t question his integrity...but this practice of sending rhetoric-laden emails to non Muslims about the goodness of Islam is so utterly devoid of logic that it borders on being deliberately and calculatedly deceptive.

#15 – Tempo-bhai

[your are not reading carefully my dear waston...you have been mentioned here...i don’t want to name names here… ...;)]
I must admit I have completely missed the feeble and febrile connection to the Beej that you may have implied, unless you are referring to the U.S. and using me as a proxy. Next time, I recommend not being so “dip-poem-atic”. It’s okay to hit people on the head with your honest thoughts! (Those “winkies” just do not work for some of us!)

And while I’m at it, here is one more thing.

[yaar Allah Mian can you send emails to Secretary Homeland Insecurity, Director of CIA and FBI and Britain`s MI5, Mossad, CSIS, RCMP and Putin`s FSB advising them all not to mix up these ducking suicide members with Islam?]
Be honest, Tempo-bhai, no e-mail is needed; since NOBODY (except for the suicide bombers and their supporters) mixes up those bombers with the religion of Islam (many of those intended e-mailees have already expressly said so). However, denying the obvious fact that there is a significantly strong number of Muslims worldwide (and quite a few on this web site, although many have suddenly found it more pragmatic to either go “dormant” or “sweeten” their tunes (talk about courage!)) who actually believe in both the causes and the methods used by these individuals – is patently dishonest; a practice widely accepted and condoned and perhaps expected (even to oneself) in the South Asian subcontinent, but it’s not going to wash with Uncle Sam!! Pure and simple!

….and your muslim followers look at condoms with suspicion…

muslims, condoms, aur suspicion- i think allah mian has assigned this doozy to the patron saint of lost causes. but last i heard he was seen making a run for it in the dead of night. so, it’s all up to you now t. best of luck.

miriam

temporal,


...... allah mian asked me to forward this message to you (he and i have been talking a lot lately and i am going to announce my prophethood as soon as urstruly and sattar settle their differences on the other board - i don`t want to cause further schisms in the ummah )

......... but anyway, allah mian asks you to stick to writing bad poetry, and if mrs t wants you to do the dishes then you should do them without complaining - it is all part of the grand design ........ he says that he is really upset about people who are trying to upset his apple cart by trying to do things that are not part of his plan ...... he is a little confused by all the confusion and chaos on earth, because he is omnipotent and can do whatever he wants and yet ......... and yet stuff that he never intended to happen, happens .......he knows that shit happens, but it is not supposed to happen to him ........ he thinks that iblees has stolen his giddar singhi and is in cahoots with that rascal gabriel to take over kingdom come ........ it is all very confusing for an old man who is on a diet of prunes and peyote ............ and he is looking at me to fix tis big mess so that he can turn his attention to other regions of other universes ..............

........... he sends his regards to mrs t and asks the chowk readership to forgive him for inflicting you and other poets on them ........ he also apologizes for creating osama bin laden but says that he has little control over what happens in hijaz ........

p.s i don`t know if i want to work for a man who obviously doesn`t know what he is doing

``so may your tribe increase!``

I surely hope not!! One g2s is ok, too many will be a disaster.

temporal,

you were a goody-two-shoes before this article and now thanks to this, will remain one ever after!

well, i can live with the g2s types much better than the suicide bomber types, so may your tribe increase!

not much literary merit, I guess, but one has to appreciate the sentiment.

tempo,

Happy coincidence since just the other day I too was petitioning God. And know what, God is actually a Goddess. That`s correct; Allah is She :)

#9, #10 Omar:

I think T must be getting divine signals of some kind already! Otherwise how could he pre-read your question and provide the following answer for you (even before you asked it)?!

[Footnote: Allah is not humour impaired...to test veracity of this statement look in the mirror...however should one of you find yourself in this predicament s/he is requested to wash mouth with listerine and take suitable religious or irreligious remedies...chowk nor this writer will assume any responsibilities should this have a undesired effect on you.]

And the following afterthought – there is rubbish and then there is “rubbish” – there are at least some people on this site who (based on what I have observed in some of the interacts) will take his kind of “rubbish” any day compared to the other kind, including (what they claim) comes from you! (I take no positions, myself. However, I did notice that T can handle criticism a lot better than you can – and over the longer haul, too!)

for the record, my previous post was written and submitted before the post by chowk`s other in-house baba (#8) appeared here

there is rubbish and then there is rubbish -- will chowk ever rid itself of these babas?

temporal:

Does the contract, nikahnama, allow you to transfer dishwashing to unwarned-about guests?

Enjoyed this peace. Too much truth in this humour!

Bhagwan seems to be the only one giving you the straight answers.
