Many Pakistanis have wasted their time decrying the video as a conspiracy intended to defame Islam and Pakistan. They should be demanding that the army — Pakistan’s strongest and most functional institution — defend against an insurgency that increasingly threatens the state. Like their military and political leaders, Pakistan’s people are in a pernicious state of denial about where the real danger lies.

You are spot on Sir!!!That was a brilliant article. Pakistanis are continously in the state of denial. In their clogged heads, this too is a conspiracy.

Re: # 14

Sorry , I was busy during the weekend .... so cud not reply earlier.

You are comparing Gujarat !! lol .. pakis do forget Godhra when vomitting about Gujarat... can you tell me what wud happen if 60 "pious" muslims returning from Hajj are burnt alive by hindus in pakistan??

At least you guys took care of your minorities... we need to do the same of muslas in india.... but are ethos and secular system are big hindrance (mind you ... I am just fine with
the rest of our minorities - and justifiably proud of them.... except katwas...)

As for barun gandhi - this guy was arrested for speaking the truth ... and you have MUSLIMS openly exhorting other katwas to kill minorities (who are indeed slain after the telecast) and nothing happens to them !!!


To tell a katwa the reality is no use ... because he will never see his faults... its time to just do our stuff ... no need to explain anything...

#81, Yes, I forgot the bit about you being able to read their minds! If the LTTE is indeed a Hindu terrorist organisation, why on earth is it aiding and collaborating with your friends in al-Qaeda, or is al-Qaeda secretly Hindu as well?

Jinnah Zindabad! Pakistan Paindubad! Hot off the press:

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Under pressure from lawmakers including members of his own party, Pakistan's president on Monday signed a regulation that puts a northwest valley under Islamic law to achieve peace with Taliban militants who have brutalized the area.

nb writes "but one poster on a youtube clip, about Rama winning Lanka for them. It's like saying Pakistan claims everything that masadi says, which would be unfair to Pakistan."

Where you have to generalize to Islam that one poster becomes "all" as well. The BBC post doesn't need to have them explicitly say they are Hindu, that religious politics Hindu/Muslim is at work in how they are taxing Muslims says much more. Your excuses are quite transparent given your dimwitted mentality.

And in any case, they have never fought in the name of Hinduism. It would be weird if they did because of the number of Christians and the fewer Muslims they have in their ranks.
The LTTE has had a conflict of interests with certain Tamil Muslim groups who want a Tamil Muslim homeland, but that doesn't change that they are not a Hindu group.

I was just thinking I missed 'moron', thanks.
It's not the Tigers who said that, but one poster on a youtube clip, about Rama winning Lanka for them. It's like saying Pakistan claims everything that masadi says, which would be unfair to Pakistan.
I also missed where in the BBC article it said the Tigers claimed to be Hindus.

Nb writes "Nevertheless, they don't claim to be Hindu".

Oh they certainly do when it fulfills their political motive. You can search the Tiger's videos in which they claim ownership of Sri Lanka because lord Rama won it for them.Moron.

Masadi, your posts would be incomplete without 'idiot' and 'bigot'. Does it upset you that you're such a laughing stock, or are you used to it?
Nevertheless, they don't claim to be Hindu, and I'm not the one in need of an education.

nb writes "Masadi, the Tigers don't claim to be Hindu or to fight in the name of Hinduism"

That they don't claim to be Hindu is BS, the fact that is lost on you is that they do so for many of the same reasons that those Muslims you demonize are fighting. The cause and the inspiration is political the legitimation might be religious which is a tactic for getting grass roots support and is no worse than nationalist rhetoric of the USA or India or the Tamils.... get that and after you do get a goddamned education, bigot. The only philosophy (in this entire discussion) that puts profits before people and wealth before life is the capitalist philosophy that is the point lost on majumdar and on the Hindu bigots....

Masadi, the Tigers don't claim to be Hindu or to fight in the name of Hinduism....though this may have escaped you. Prabhakaran named his son Charles Anthony for his friend and 'martyr' of the war.

Majumdar and Shoaib, Kipling and his ilk were much more comfortable with the 'simple' Pathan than the Bengali, because Bengalis didn't know their place and insisted on taking on the Englishman on his own terms. It is a pity that your mind is so colonised, majumdar, that you missed this.
