Madani-saheb,

{{But most comments are not in good taste , they are in bad taste.}}

Janaab...I dont know how it is in Pakistan...but if you walk on a Chowk in Bombay; you better put some slippers on....otherwise you will step on a pile of dung...& you wont even know what the divine source of that dung was...

OK, I am ready to accede to all the rational demands of Pakistani women for equality and opportunity. In return, I request just one simple concession. Please allow me to sacrifice one (at the most two!) Pakistani (or of Paki origin) women to the Goddess Indus around Bakr Eid time. In the spirit of enlightened modernity and equal opportunity, I assure you that virginity, or lack of it, will NOT be a consideration in the selection criiteria. :)

#183, {``Some times I feel writers do not care they just want write bad and get famous hoping to get interviewed by Nytimes or BBC. Its pathetic to become famous such at cost of pakistan good name and reputation. As general said first think of pakistan, subse pahela pakistan, now even opposed to militart take over should know pakistan is president is pakistan. Its ok to criticise president in company of Ummah but when most kaffirs are here one should moderate writing to tone down negative aspects and have no destructive criticism. ``}

Mr. Madani,
That is a lot of food for thought. Thank you for giving us this important perspective on the nagging habit of some liberals to parrot the party line without engaging thinking cap.

Re: # 109

{{The aim of the scholars, the genuine ones, is for moral and spiritual guidance to individuals.}}

Yup!...
and there are about a zillion Ibn Ibn.Ibn buttheads (& THOU) `` is-scholars`` who are drowning out ``secular`` muslims...who are getting genuinely EMBARRASED about how ``culture police`` like your brothers & sisters...give ``spiritual guidance`` to every tom, dick,abdul & bina.....whether they like it or not!

How da heck art THOU any different from the vast assortment of brainless Islam ke mashoor pehelwan dukkar men...who have hijacked Islam to a tower.... & kept her er..``izzat``... ``safe``...from secular marauders ...like she`s Allah-damned Rapunzel...may I ask?

Speaking of which ...

...I do hope you have hi-tailed it from Inglistan to Pakistan...by now...its terrible what those wretched pommies are doing to ``you guys``...after 7/7...

I do hope...you outa be on atleast your 2nd wife, 3rd son & ``X``th daughter(s).. (whose numbers you wont count)...perhaps, you oughta make HER a hafiz, hahn?!...oh!? but I guess a 3rd grade education is more than enough for her...

I do hope...during your yatra from Inglistan to Pakistan...you took a stop-over to Fez...& got a kick in the skull from a Saintly Syed...to clear up some of the fog in your mind...maybe the view of Jannat & your 72 ever-virginial loving..er.. sisters... becomes clearer...

I DO hope you have read the ...er...fine print of.... ``Jannat``;... before you peddle your version of Islaaaam on Chowk...my mashoor pehelwan...methinks its a cruel trick Allah has played on the male disciples of the Holy Prophet (pbuh)...methinks HE`s DISGUSTED with how incredibly stupid they are!!!

I DO DO hope you are not walking around the evil West with my bhatija Urstruly; hoping for a ..er..close encounter with a certain German Shepard thingy...man..he`s very much into that kind of stuff..these days...

I DO think only one moose limb OUTA be allowed ...er...how shall I put it???...er..INCEST...(GASP)!!! with his divine 72 houris....HAMID_M!!

...& I`ll betcha...them houris aint gonna serve him ``virgin`` zamzama drinks ..either!...so he wont care what he`s doing....

mohar
...groping a girl in the back seat of a car, hahn?...shareef ladki didnt tell her parents where she`s going, hahn?...

heheh!!!

my classmate... a certain sardar birather..who is a big surgeon now in a Midwestern city...made sure his beautiful daughter ONLY socialised with the kids of the local Sikh sangatan....

...yup! thats all fine & dandy...

One night...after a hard day at the OR, at 2AM..he drove up to his 3 car garage....yearning to crawl into bed with his beautiful wife...he heard a crash of garbage cans in the far side of the bushes...
$#$% racoons!!..he said!!

What proceeded NEXT was...to say the least...very very emotionally..er..eventful....

out comes his 15 yr beautiful old shareef daughter..trying to zip up her fly!... & put on a bra at the same time!...& then comes out a very sheepish looking 14 yr old khalsa warrior...who was feebly trying to cover his ..er..erect member with a turban!

Allah-kasam I could hear his roaaar all the way to Mid-Michigan!!! My bibi said ``its a good thing he wasnt carrying his kirpan...there would be at least ONE khalsa warrior in Ohio singing a suprano!!`` lol

Re: # 177

You are wrong. I have married three daughters. 2 husbands are of inferoir qualitiies and and raskals but we have to accept wrong choices as there is no otherway. Men are bad but good daughters also change in company of bad men. They become mean and hateful, greedy and worse. But I can not accept all women are bad. So I do not agree with comments. Two times I had to give money to these by son in laws I felt bad as I spend all my life raising them and upsurpers come and take away and we have to spend money its not just . bye

Now some comments regarding the Hijab controversy. Being Salim ``Look at it from all sides`` Chauhan, I wish to offer a few remarks about Hijab and some of the women who wear them. I always avoided Hijabi girls in the States. I thought they were religious robots and was frankly uncomfortable with their dogmatic rhetoric. Here in Turkey, I have been quite impressed by many of my wife`s girlfriends who wear hijabs. They seem so self-confident, so polite, and so logical in their thinking that I feel an element of regret for my previous prejudices. While no advocate of Hijab proliferation, I must confess at my admiration for these women. They put on the Hijab, usually at the chagrin and consternation of their parents, their friends, their relatives, and school officials. Their confidence, demeanor, determination, and ability to conduct decent conversations with males is what drives many men here to seek them out as permanent partners. And to think that I gave up drinking in exchange for my wife not wearing the Hijab.

It seems as if the IQ on the board has risen since you`ve shown up! I`d say more, but my popularity with others is really important to me!

love,

Bina....now the baass has me as her nauker....she has her western-smestern schooling...now she act like gentlemen sahib or sophisticated laty around the house....she read this idea of ``equal rights`` from some stupid gora textbook she wasted her paycheck on...i said, jacuzzi, mehboob, another trip to makkah, but she says, no, sociology is important for her ba! BA! AA wasnt good enough for her! And now her socialism book is saying things like, ``explore your values``...abey! explore our values? now she is asking questions like, why shouldnt she have a separate bank account? As if she has enough money after our bills are paid! Then she is learning about values from other countries, like ``machismo``....this is when the male is number one in the house...see! I her, all cultures are man number 1 in the da house! but her gora wannabe kaali-kaaley kaloot ``professor`` is asking her what she thinks! as if she has an opnon of her own! Hain? You think what I tell you think, my little fatso! I tell her, and once she is feeling bad about her appearance, then she is reminded of her place!
