manoj

jay, i quite . Hate, revenge, murder are the values taught under the cloak of religion and Isalmic values from an early age and the end products are for all to see.



Manoj & Jaypraksh.

India has more incidence of Rape,murder,(not to speak of manslaughter which is killing without punishment of murder like bride burning ,abortions foeticides,wife & domestic Abuse.

Islamic country like Saudi Kwait ,gulf have much less Rape murder .

If you have statistic present then otherwise m,i slander yoyur maa behen, you will feel sorry to have started the topic!!



War, What is it Good For?
Posted by Bijli Sep 16, 2001 11:05 pm


There is only nothing more pathetic than a Loretto Convent A level kid trying to write humorous piece on life in developing country ,as if she was writing as a Seinfield script writer or Brit writing for ``are you being served``

Not only it is inappropropriate at this time of 5000 civilian possible dead ,but also Pakistan is not going to have picnic with American g.i. on its soil as Saudi or Bahraini already know.Sure M/s Kaneez can make more pen pals with marines & talk about trading baseball cards,hollywood & Insync. back street boyz.

Very bad timing for any jokes ,least of all involving areas under duress & difficult times

Gowardhan

Ali1, you and shah/AAmir/Bapu/Bijli are the kind of people who insulted and called a lady from your own country, a muslim to boot, dirty names only because she was interacting with an Indian. She never interacted with you or called you names.



Gowardhan-

besharam...look into your own soul & conscience.

No body is going to pay for whatever anybody said .Its internet ,but you are being unjust inequal &

remember ``unhe dand dena ko koi adhikar nahi hai jin mie sharan dene ke shakti nahi hai``

If you could not stop abuse from all the rest ,you have no right to rebuke one person.

People like you are a disgrace. You will always be a cabbie.]``

And what did you call Aeisha ,Bijli,Fatimah ???

After all if it comes to ,we are all names on the monitor .You were rebuked by your own indian hindu not to pass LUDE comments ``excited`` ``Do you ``........When it comes to abuse Ali is just another boy ,no less no more .



The Real Jehad
Posted by Bijli Sep 7, 2001 10:29 pm
When bengal was fighting against British ,which there hardly was much of in the west Pakistan region,the women folk obviously took most active part in it.No wonder during the bangladesh liberation also Anwara Jehan & other women gave ther lives.``phele de reshmi churri bongo nari was the popular slogan in 30s 40s

Netaji Subhash Chander Bose who with Shanawaz Khan formed the I.N.S, demanded ``RAKTO DAO`` give me blood & ill give you freedom!

Looks like the only Muslim who think like wise left are the CHECHENYA.f course ,if similar situation prevailed in Present Pakistan ,lazy fellows wouldnt have spoken single word in there lethargy & apathy.

Allah the Almighty says:

`` Let not the strutting about of the unbelievers through the land deceive

thee: Little is it for enjoyment; their ultimate abode is Hell...``

[Surah al Imran (3): 196-197]

``I remember a Chechen female sniper. She didn`t have any chance of making it

to the authorities. We just tore her apart with two armored personnel

carriers, having tied her ankles with steel cables. There was a lot of

blood, but the boys needed it.``

Boris, russian soldier

``Without atrocities, we`ll get nowhere in Chechnya. We have to be cruel to

them. Otherwise, we`ll achieve nothing.``

[21-year-old russian soldier]

``You don`t make it obvious, and they don`t look too hard. Everyone

understands that`s the way it works.``

[21-year-old russian soldier is being confident that authorities will make

no serious effort to investigate war zone misconduct.]

``What kind of human rights can there be in wartime? It`s fine to violate

human rights within certain limits.``

[31-year-old russian police commando]

``The easiest way is to heat your bayonet over charcoal, and when it`s

red-hot, to put it on their (Chechen) bodies, or stab them slowly. You need

to make sure they feel as much pain as possible. The main thing is to have

them (Chechens) die slowly. You don`t want them to die fast, because a fast

death is an easy death. They should get the full treatment. They should get

what they deserve. On one hand it looks like an atrocity, but on the other

hand, it`s easy to get used to. I killed about nine people this way. I

remember all of them.``

[Andrei, russian soldier]

``Cutting ears may seem savage to some, but it has its explanations,`` said

one commander. ``It`s an old tradition among the special forces--you cut off

the ears of the enemy in order to later lay them on the tombstone of your

friend who was killed in the war. . . . It`s not a manifestation of

barbarism. It`s just our way of telling our deceased mate: Rest in peace.

You have been avenged.``

[33-year-old russian army officer]

``We would also throw fighters off the helicopters before landing. The trick

was to pick the right altitude. We didn`t want them to die right away. We

wanted them to suffer before they died. Maybe it`s cruel, but in a war,

that`s almost the only way to dull the fear and sorrow of losing your

friends.``

[Boris, russian soldier]

``It`s much easier to kill them all (Chechens). It takes less time for them

to die than to grow.``

[Valery, russian personnel officer]

``So there will be one Chechen less on the planet, so what? Who will cry for

him?``

[Gennady, 24-year-old russian paratrooper]

``I hated them when I fought in Chechnya, and I hate them now. I can`t even

watch TV when it shows Chechens--I feel all my muscles start to ache and I

want to smash something.``

[Gennady, 24-year-old russian paratrooper]

``Our commander told us all the time, `There`s no such thing as a Chechen

civilian.` ``

[russian conscript]

``It`s easy for a person to get away with almost everything. You take this

wretched Chechen down into a basement or a cellar under the guise of

checking his documents in a quiet place. And then you just knock him off the

way you want. There are no eyewitnesses, and no one will say anything.``

[Denis, russian major with the elite police forces]

``Neither I nor the president has ever said there are no violations of human

rights in Chechnya.``

[Vladimir A. Kalamanov, President Putin`s special representative for human

rights in Chechnya]

``There are not enough psychologists in all of Russia to treat those who are

returning.``

[40-year-old russian police officer about new generation of troubled Russian

soldiers with deep psychological problems, many of whom are

violent.]

Allah the Almighty says:

``And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who being

weak are ill-treated (and oppressed)? Men women and children whose cry is:

``Our Lord! rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise

for us from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who

will help!`` Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah and those who

reject faith fight in the cause of evil: so fight ye against the friends of

Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.``

[Surah an Nisa (4): 75-76]

Allah the Almighty says:

``He (Zul Qurnain) said: ``Whoever does wrong, him shall we punish; then he

shall be sent back to his Lord; and He will punish him with a punishment

unheard-of before.``

[Surah al Kahf (18): 69]

May Allah the Almighty have mercy on provide for us all. The best provision

is that belonging to Allah, and the one for whom Allah provides, none can

reduce their measure, not even if all of the Angels and Jinns and the whole

of humankind gathered against Allah. He, the Almighty simply says, Be, and

it will Be.

Here is a report from Banglore how two silicon valey young Pakistani capitalist got taste of INDIAN POlice .

BORDER BARRIERS IN CYBER CAPITAL

FROM HABIB BEARY

Bangalore, Sept. 5:

A globocop is yet to pound the mean streets of cyberspace. But the road to India’s Silicon Valley is patrolled by policemen who enforce the law in letter and spirit, especially if you are from Pakistan.

Azar Jaffri and Khasif-ul-Haq, chief executives of two rival Pakistani software companies — Iways and Corvit Systems — had reached Bangalore last week.

Their mission: to attend a workshop on information technology organised by the Asian Development Bank. Instead, they spent most of the business hours in a police station for what is known in police parlance as “reporting” by foreigners.

“It was very upsetting. They spent seven hours in the police station going through the formalities. Both of them missed the main sessions,” the Pakistan Software Export Board’s managing director, Mohammad Khalid Javed, told The Telegraph.

The export board functions under the ministry of science and technology in Pakistan.

The conference was attended by several experts and tech-savvy chief ministers S.M. Krishna and N. Chandrababu Naidu.

The police, however, said it was a routine reporting formality for foreign visitors.

“I am not blaming the police. The ADB, which had sponsored them, should have made arrangements before the visitors’ arrival. This harassment could have been avoided,” Javed said.

ADB director Yoshihiro Iwasaki was told of the “ordeal”, but it was too late. “I am taking it up with the ADB to prevent such unpleasantness in the future,” Javed said.

Only on the last day of their three-day stay here did Jaffri and Haq get a break from the police rigmarole. They managed to join the ADB delegation trip to Infosys, now a regular fixture on the foreign business traveller’s itinerary.

Pakistan has offered to host the next ADB meet in Islamabad. “We learn by experience. We will not allow such things to happen there,” Javed said.

Pakistan was a late starter in information technology development but is slowly catching up. In fact, Pakistan is attempting to replicate Bangalore’s success in Lahore, Javed said.

A majority of the 440 software companies in Pakistan are based in Lahore, which has a large number of educational institutions. The city accounts for the lion’s share of the country’s software exports. However, Javed did not quantify the export revenues.

Quite a few Pakistani infotech experts have returned from the US to set up shop back home, Javed said.

Urine drinking is Vulgarism





Saraswati can only give screwed brains to these urine drinkers since saraswati herself is being screwed by Bramha.

If it had not been for the muslim and christian rulers hindus would have been still practicing the inhuman human sacrifices to goddess Kali. Muslims banned the Devadasi system from hindu Temples for which high caste hindus are still angry at muslims. No high caste hindu (from RSS/VHP/BJP,etc) can now go to temples to get animal pleasure from the first born daughters donated by every hindu household to appease these vagabound high castes who called themselves sadhus.

British and Muslims banned child marriage, banned nudity of idols in front of children,banned decoration of Lingams with gold,precious stones which was upsurped from the Low castes.
