Aafia Siddiqui to Appear in Court #135 Posted by hurricane,

Yes indeed. They have a survival mechanism so even if a single leg out of eight (ten?) survives the boot, they grow the rest back. But lemme tell you a secret. The easiest way to kill a cockroach is to flip it on it's back. It will keep thrashing about and rotating its whiskers but unable to right itself, and then it dies. Try it.

Cockroaches must be crushed under boots, not argued with. Don't you have a can of Baygon?

Aafia Siddiqui to Appear in Court #125 Posted by rf786,

Yaar again you're generous with facts. When was Baitullah Mehsud in US custody anywhere?

But there IS one fact which is not revealed yet. It will come out in court. Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was hiding a nuke aerosol in her blouse when caught in Ghazni on 17th July, which she was going to spray in the direction of California!

Aafia Siddiqui to Appear in Court hurricane,

Are you arguing with H1-b crawling insects? Don't you know these worms' survival depends on survival of USA as a world dominating power so they can scramble and pick up it's excrement? They're just scared they won't get to partake of that holy piss because Muslims are kicking their master's ass who is ten feet taller than them, and they pretend to be THEM.

Mahboba Andyar: A Poem #46 Posted by quin,

... if you tell me more about you, your struggles, your aspirations, your views on life, your experiences, if you provide me some insight, or say something or write something which may become an inspiration for me, may be a poem will happen.

Err ... actually I always wanted to be a bartender and to be able to flip glasses like Bryan Brown and Tom Cruise in the film 'Cocktail'! Would that do?

Mahboba Andyar: A Poem ... Ok I saw your response on the iLog. But you still need to write a poem for me :)

Mahboba Andyar: A Poem quin,

You haven't commented on the iLog clip I posted just for you and addressed to you, after having split the 700mb file and converted twice and extracted just a 30 second segment and posted on YouTube, only for you.

Now, are you going to write a poem for me?

Mahboba Andyar: A Poem Nice new nic akcheema sahib, but not imaginative at all!

So what happened to those powerful wazirs who were going to come after us after May 12th?

May 12 was a watershed. The Wazirs are not coming to avenge that. It's not necessary. First, please look at how many of your own Muhajirs want to avenge, sure as fire.

Yes you do have a point, but I don't believe these puny bhatta khor punks could ever dream of that.

Like I said, the Muhajirs invited Umme Hassan, a woman who made these Edgware punks pee in their pants, and come out with a telephone roar with all these naive insecure poor Muhajirs of Nazimabad sitting and listening intently and saying 'Haan' Haan''Bilkul' etc., with no idea what they're up against.

USA had agreed that they hold an injured Afia Saddiqi at Baghram.

These people are of the morality (and I'm talking about Pakistani elite) who will fight for gay & lesbian rights but not for an injured Dr. Afia Siddiqi held without charge alongwith three kids who are actually American born US citizens.

Of-course the hindoos are worms so they don't count in the first place. I don't read their posts so if any hindoo said otherwise, s/he's exempted from the above.

Mahboba Andyar: A Poem #22 Posted by quin,

Shame on you doubly. Shame on you for each word you desecrated, nay for each letter. If you are a Muslim, go read Quran and learn decency from it. You who posted ‘Wolves of Valley” movie, learn something from that too. Learn from what Layla’s father told her and others.

I accept the shame Quin Bhai. Indeed I do.

But, Leyla’s father (wasn't actually her father - Leyla was in an orphanage in the film) said something else too. Perhaps you missed that.

I'll post that now on iLogs and we will talk again :)

Fissures in the Middle #288 Posted by bubba Re: # 285

You were the one (if I can remember it correctly) that opined that there is a distinct possibility that Karachi becomes another Gaza. Have you changed your opinion, regarding T-men in Karachi?

I don't remember having said that. But if I did, it would be true.

I have read reports that the T's are all over Punjab, especially in south punjab. Are all these reports regarding T's sighting at different locations in Pakistan, just to extort money from the GWOT effort?M

Look, the 'T's as you call them are not any ethnic group. The ones in South Punjab are Punjabis who constitute 20% of actual fighters in Afghanistan. Similarly, the 'T's in Karachi (and other parts of Sind) are all Muhajirs. The Muhajirs invited Umme Hassan to speak at the four largest Madrassas in Karachi, not any Pushtoons.

Have you heard of the last week incident in Kot Addu? Those were not FATA Pushtoons who ordered CD shops and cable networks to close. They were local.

But having said that, there is indeed an influx into Karachi from mainly South Punjab, I think, settling in Katchi Abadis. Even peripheries of Mai Kolachi have been taken over. That's the other end of Shireen Jinnah Colony (where this started) with just the Boat Basin in between and Karachi Port port at the other end. It may actually be organized to be triggered when required, and what prompted Pir Sahib's current campaign.

So, I'll keep my turban handy if I were you!

Fissures in the Middle #275 Posted by hamidm2

if the mqm is really as tough as everyone makes them out to be ......

If it was, do you think the Pir of Edgware would be sniveling and crying out to common neighborhoods to keep these nasty people away - so the Pir can cling to his Karachi Water Supply Board and the Building Control Authority?

But, don't fret. The Big Boys aren't coming to Karachi anytime soon. This is just another drama by Pir Sahib to keep the Muhajirs scared - i.e. play the Taliban card which fits in very nicely with the ethnic card, that has sort of frayed in recent years. Now all these North Karachi chickens will again flock to the mother hen.

... this jihadi breeder.... i still don't understand why this woman is not behind bars

Same reason the Kaneez breeders aren't! Neither is breaking any laws.

Fissures in the Middle 259 Posted by ahmedmadani

Mr Hussain expressed concern over activities of Umme Hassan — wife of Maulana Abdul Aziz of Lal Masjid -- who had addressed jihadi elements during her recent visit to Karachi on the pretext of a certificate-distribution ceremony in some seminaries.

So he expressed concern over a known and admitted militant woman's visit to Karachi. No 12 May this time? Or was it because this was no unarmed lawyer, but instead carries an AK-47 herself as well as had a veritable small army with automatic weapons guarding her everywhere?

No madani Sahib, you're amiss somewhere.

In fact I found below the funniest, though there were other parts of his speech which were even funnier not quoted in Dawn:

adding that the people of Karachi should form vigilance committees in their areas and the rich and the poor should take measures to protect themselves from the threat posed by the Taliban.

I thought the protection of citizens was the responsibility of the Government. Is he promoting vigilantism? But that's exactly what the other side is promoting too.

Or has he accepted his MQM city Government has been defeated before the battle has even begun?

Mahboba Andyar: A Poem #9 Posted by quin,

Look Mr. Quin, what character of a woman would be the one whose dirt-poor Government financed her preparation for the Beijing Olympics, sent her to Italy for coaching so that she could raise her country's image (mulk ka naam roshan etc you know), and she runs away from her hostel AND her country instead of running on a track? Is that what she trained for?

Hmm ... Tahir Sahib may have a point re the name. Mahbooba And Yaar (Beloved and her paramour) lived happily ever after.
