Australia is on high alert for a possible terrorist attack.
Clive Williams, an expert on terrorism who heads Canberra`s Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, said the potential threat revealed yesterday may involve a person who trained with the listed terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Tayyiba in Pakistan.
One of the persons apparently was identified by an American informant as having attended an LET - a Lashkar-e-Tayyiba - camp in Pakistan, and they`ve been talking to others in Melbourne apparently about what sort of targets they could attack.

I can totally vouch for Indian liking for fair skin. I mean... whenever I go to these nudee bars here in the U.S. I see many of my brethen hanging around near the dark corners of the walls and totally drooling at the sight of white women. And many of them look totally dazed and lost even without drinking a single bottle of beer. It is indeed a contradiction in Indians that they hate fair colored Pakistanis so much.

``To tahmed, do not worry about personal opinions, tell me whether you have an alternate exp[lantion for why Tanweer is a hero in pakistan, why did musheraff let him in, his dead body``

You are expecting too much of intelligence and civility from thamed. All he can do is shout monkey,monkey, hindutva monkey and accuse you of supporting dowry killings and abortions.
mullahs like him dont need brains to get by, all they need to do is read one book and everything they need to know is right there, including hating kaafirs like you.

re:#334 by Romair
Only the NOrth Indian idiots (some, not all) buy this concept ``only fair can be beautiful``. Not even the Americans buy that now. They see beauty in all colors. Blacks and whites intermarry freely in major cities here. This is my personal view.
Romair says:
(I think they hate us because we are beautiful...)
How can that be when most Indians have not even met any Paki in personal life? This is another myth created by Paki establishment. There are few things that make Pakis feel that are better off, this being one of them (the other myth that 1 Paki= 10 Indians was demolished in 1971).
Most Indians watch Bollywood or some such crap where they regularly see male hunks and female babes, all Indians ofcourse. The news that Pakis are good looking has not filtered thr` May be Romair miyan should go around the country showing his pretty face and wearing a T-shirt that says ``I am a Paki, see how good looking i am``! They will get the message and Romair will get a kick out of all this. He can even return home, that is if he is still alive after all this!

re:#308 by khare
I wish Prophet Md (PBUH) had gone one step further than Abraham and offered his D!ck to God. If he had done that, other followers would have followed suit and the world today would be a much better place.

re:#294 by khare
Interesting debate on circumcision. Studies have shown that circumcised newborn babies have less UTI (urinary tract infection) rates that the ones not circumcised. I do not recall any other clear medical advantage. AFAIK, majority of christians in USA have their newborn babies circumcised before discharge from the hospital. No religious compulsion but it is still widely practised.

A room for Tanweer,

The master mind of the london bombing is back home, not the country of his birth or citizenship, but a country that created the force behind his life, brought home not by his pakistani father, but by his UK citizen father, as approved and supported by musheraff, the president of pakistan that banished pak citizens, like Bhutto from her country.

Pakistan is about ideology, it is about propogating its founding values. Bhumian Budhas survived a few thousand years, survived the pak heros of Ghouri and Gaznavi, but did not survive the pak ideology of TNT, Taliban created by the pak madrasas as modified by TNT ideology blasted the statues from the face of the earth.

Now the pak society has created a lasting monument to replace it, the memorial for Tanweer, and now the laskers want all of the london bombers brought home.

To tahmed, do not worry about personal opinions, tell me whether you have an alternate exp[lantion for why Tanweer is a hero in pakistan, why did musheraff let him in, his dead body.

Let us talk about ideas, and refrain from calling names, and personel remarks.

#374, Netizen {``its opposite, khote pronounced ``khoTay`` which means false is also a marathi last name``}

Neti,
So it would be linguistically correct and morally ``kharey`` to refer to Captain Clueless as ``Mr. Khotay`` when he is making false statements? :)

Re: # 363

``Well, in my language (colloquial dialect), khare means ``true``. It rhymes with the expression ``Arrey``... like in.. arre yaar, kahan ja rahe ho.. ``

thats how i was pronouncing it all along until i read chauhan`s posts about it being pronounce khair (any way) which also is correct.

maybe because i am from mumbai and in marathi khare (pronounced ``KharRay``) means truth, which is quite a common last name of some marathis.

its opposite, khote pronounced ``khoTay`` which means false is also a marathi last name.

#278: ``He rebelled against the concept of ``chosen people`` and said that the covenant between Abraham and God applied to Muslims as well.``

Thank you DM ji. Is it true Bhindrawale started the circumcision of Khalsas along the same line of thought? Since it was done with a Khundi Kirpan, I have heard many followers were traumatized for life beyond repair.

#366, Khair sahib, {``Well, it should be shab-ba-Khair and not be-Khair. The latter means WITHOUT peace/safety``}

As pointed out by our good friend, M31, sometimes a single letter, forget one word, just one letter can change the meaning of what we are saying. Imagine telling a loved one to have a night WITHOUT safety!

M31,
Ha HA LOL. You are right - thank you for correcting this unintentional faux pas. Kind of defeats the purpose of the greeting, don`t you think? :)

#366, khare {``BTW, I worked with real bugs for a long time, although I am not an entomologist (not an entymologist either) ... bad caterpillars... gypsy moths, if you have heard of them. But, my present focus of research is on smaller bugs like fungi and bacteria.``}

Kharey Janaab,
As you can tell, your takhallus is khare. :)

I am quite interested in your esteemed occupation. I have known a few gypsy moths on Chowk - they try to tell your fortune and then take you for a ride. Seriiously, speaking of bugs, I would like you to examine a few recti under a powerful microscope. Please tell us what is ailing Tahmed, Romair, Hamidm, Temporal, Scout, Saminasha, Zeena, Atif, and Khamkhwa.

A single word, as you so correctly stated, can lead to so much trouble. Also, two bugs can lead to a lot of trouble. That is why I have this composite profession that I refer to as ``entymologist.`` It combines the knowledge of an etymologist with the patience and focus of an entomologist for the best results. Here on Chowk, certain words perfomr the function of minute bugs. For example, just say something irritating to some Chowkies and they behave as if a certain bug crawled up their ass. :)

Now, do you see the need for entymologists? :)

#363, Khare {``What is Takhallus? ``}

Takhallus is a pseudonym or nom de guerre or title as in Chacha Buttees, Captain Clueless, Mullah-e-Chowk, etc..
