MQM - History and Origins

When will the madman return from the ANgrayzi lunatic asylum and cure the lot that speaks the language of the horde? When?

Comment made by an Ahl-e-zabaN at an Iftar party recently:
"Aik to hum say itna baRa Punjab bardasht nahiN hota hay!"

Down with this 'civilised' kurta-pyjama-paandaan' superiority.

Down, down, down....

'Only Islam, it appears, is on the dining menu, and it is cooked to order.'

Very apt description now that Communism has been left alone. But this treatment of Islam using the neo-colonial carving knife will eventually give them a sour mouth and fill the bellies with hell-fire.

Peace.

Chauhan sahib,

Hmm...I too use the CHOWKIDAR analogy to explain to the simple-minded how the Khaki-clad gate-keeper is sitting in my drawing-room now, while I'm helpless in his servant-quarter! All this 'shararat' at the behest of the trans-Atlantic 'badmuash'?

Regards.

Educational Practices in Private Schools in Pakistan

The Cambridge System has created a new kind of an Anglophile slave who speaks some Urdu words, knows little about the dynamics of Islam and scores straight A's in utterly mind-ruining subjects that force him/her to go west and to never return.

And think of our hard-earned money being poured into THIS system, and the innocent children who dream of nothing but ease and comfort.

And then we want foreign investment! Our children are our investment. If THIS is not capital flight, what is?

Peace.

Mr. Baig, what in God's name is a 'non-practising Muslim'? Surely Prophet Muhammad (peace on him) never showed us THIS way?

I suggest you return to PRACTISE; the rest is all idle talk and pseudo-intelleculism, a mix of this with a dash of that, a spiritually useless cocktail.

Peace.

"..after i lost more than 25% of my assests because of my faith in the paki rupee which, like the koran, is turning out to be worth less than the paper it is printed out.."

What a worthless fellow!

Tasveer banata huN
Tasveer nahiN banti (tasveer nahiN banti)
Ik khwoab sa dekha hay
Ta'beer nahiN banti (tasveer nahiN banti)

This Talat Mahmood classic from film Baradari is based on Raag PahaRi.

And can't we all hear Raag PahaRi being sung all across Swat, Wana, Waziristan, and now Taxila?
Thinking of an Obama presidency, what ‘change’ may we really see?

What brand of crystal ball do you gaze into?

Don't forget that no mattter how elaborate these take-overs of entire countries look, God brings to naught all evil.

Six articles on the front page about a very sick man is a sickening trend.

"...one just as good in Lahore. 'St Anthony's High School' on Lawrence Road. It was run by Patrician Brothers from Ireland."

Now Cecil Chaudhry (ex-PAF) runs it. Nawaz Sharif didn't exactly have his name up on the Roll Of Honour there!

"Mush had tried to emulate Ataturk of Turkey, but he failed"

Perhaps he is a low-ranking Freemason!

Greetings!

This acronym (AO-PAO) has the potential to be funny in Punjabi. Copyright it right away!

The 'war on terror' started with Rafiq Tarrar being shown the door! (Essence of a line from one of my 'banned-Chowked' articles)

:)

PS: I own the copyrights of the term 'banned-Chowked'.
