Promises of A Brave New World Devoted to my Faith and Country

IslamiCity* -

EXACTLY 10 days after my 24th birthday, I would awake to a day that would mark the true beginning of my existence as a human. On a day when my country was attacked and in the subsequent year in which my religion was berated, I have been plagued by sleepless nights, blessed with sympathetic smiles and unnerved by threats where others vowed to ``take care of people like me.``

Although I was no less of an American on Sept. 10, only one day later was I commanded to ``prove`` my loyalty to America and to apologize for my religion.

I will never do either and this is why.

I am a Muslim. I believe in the monotheistic deity of Abraham and revere prophets such as Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all) as true messengers of God. Much of the only solace I ever acquire is when I prostrate my head in the direction of Mecca every day. As part of religious mandate, I donate money to the poor and abstain from food and drink during the daylight hours of the blessed month of Ramadan. Mosques serve as peaceful sanctuaries for Muslims, just as churches, synagogues and temples serve our sisters and brothers of other faiths.

I am an American. I was growing up in Chicago while the Huxtable children were growing up, at the same time, on my television. I have seen my beloved Boston Celtics play their final game in the original Boston Garden and have dreamed of playing wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. I have interned for two U.S. senators, one of whom now serves as this country`s attorney general. As I finish my final year of law school at one of this country`s finest institutions, I wonder how any rational human being could think that I was anything but American.

As American Muslims, we pledge religious allegiance to Islam and national allegiance to America. We are contributing members of this society and thus are entitled to every inalienable right and freedom that all Americans cherish. Like all Americans, we have the freedom to speak our minds, the right to be tried by a jury of our peers, the entitlement to practice our religion freely and the privilege to dissent against the government when we deem necessary.

For millions of us, this country is the only home we have ever known. Like all Americans, we grumble whenever there is a new tax hike. We worry about leaky faucets, mortgage payments and exorbitant college tuitions. Muslims are your doctors, accountants, engineers, teachers, store owners and activists.

As part of the next generation of Muslims in America, I vow to continue to be an asset to my faith and my country. I will graduate from law school and, like all Muslims, will continue the constant struggle to better humanity. So as I continue my true existence as a human being, regardless of whether or not I am welcome in your home, you are welcome in mine. My home is America.

Hazrad Musa`s ummat was charged only with the blasphemy of worshiping a golden calf. His contemporary so-called ``followers`` have now mastered the art of using it as a sire.
Munafiques are found eveywhere! even among atheists & kuffars.

It is NOT about Jews. It is about the secularised/westernised Israelis. The ashkenazis. It is about RACISM. Blondies vs Blackies. European-Jews vs Arab Jews.

Remember when they refused to bury their own jews in their own graveyards in Jerusalem? at mount Olives?---3/4 years ago?

Where were they buried then?

In muslim cemetary, you dunce!
____________________________________________________________
And there as I was at Mount Olives alongwith my practising & proud Jewish friend when somehow he mentioned about the Khamsa. He suggested I buy some too---to please friends & families back home.

``What is that?``--I asked

``Kamsa!``, he splayed his five-fingers `` Fatima`s Khamsa``

Bewildered, Curious I repeated enquiringly ``Fatima`s Khamsa?``

`` Yeh Yeh , Fatima`s Khamsa---how come you don`t know of it?``

``I know of it, I think`` I said `` It is called a Panjaa for Panjitan e Paak in my language``--`` But what has that got to do with Jewish beliefs?``

``Oh I don`t know all that stuff`` this Ashkenazi told me `` It is in many many Jewish households---to ward off evil``

It was my turn now: `` So you really do not know who is Fatima?``

``No``--He assured me.

``Well she is the daughter of our prophet(sww)``---I told him.

`` I still can`t recall or connect the name``, he was puzzled now

``She was Ali`s wife, you know Ali?--I helped

``Oh Ali, the Conquerer``, he sounded relieved.

He remembered his KHYBER well.

I was elated and felt even closer to him.

Then we bought some khamsas for his friends. I did not need them. After all, it was all in the family.

THE ISRAELI SPY RING SCANDAL
The Story That Will Not Go Away
``Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It`s classified information.``
US official quoted in Carl Cameron`s Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring.
OVERVIEW
``Israel does not spy on the United States of America.``
-- Mark Regev, a spokesman at the Israeli embassy in Washington

Prior to 9/11, the FBI had discovered the presence of a massive spy ring inside the United States run by the government of Israel. This seems a harsh gratitude from a nation which obtains 10% of its annual budget from the American taxpayer, $3+ billion a year. Over the years, American taxpayers have been required to send Israel more than four times what the US spent to go to the moon.

What Israel has done in return was to set up government subsidized telecommunications companies which operate here in the United States. One of these companies is Amdocs, which provides billing and directory assistance for 90% of the phone companies in the USA. Amdocs` main computer center for billing is actually in Israel and allows those with access to do what intelligence agencies call ``traffic analysis``; a picture of someone`s activities based on a pattern of who they are calling and when. Another Israeli telecom company is Comverse Infosys, which subcontracts the installation of the automatic tapping equipment now built into every phone system in America. Comverse maintains its own connections to all this phone tapping equipment, insisting that it is for maintenance purposes only. However, Converse has been named as the most likely source for leaked information regarding telephone calls by law enforcement that derailed several investigations into not only espionage, but drug running as well. Yet another Israeli telecom company is Odigo, which provides the core message passing system for all the ``Instant Message`` services. Two hours before the attacks on the World Trade Towers, Odigo employees received a warning. Odigo has an office 2 blocks from the former location of the World Trade Towers.

Let us be clear here. There is nothing benign about Israel spying on the United States. When Jonathan Pollard stole our nuclear secrets (which your taxes paid to develop) and sent them to Israel, Israel did not hesitate to trade those secrets to the USSR in exchange for increased emigration quotas.

The implication of these facts is that the billions of our tax dollars sent to Israel (while women and children sleep in America`s alleys and eat out of trash bins) have bought and paid for a monstrous phone tracking and phone tapping system that can eavesdrop on almost any phone call in America. Even the White House phones were open to such tapping by listening in on the other end outside the White House itself.

This actually happened. The Ken Starr report on Whitewater describes how Bill Clinton informed Monica Lewinsky that their phone sex conversations had been recorded. At the same time, Clinton ordered the FBI to cease the hunt for an Israeli mole known to be operating inside the White House itself!

So here we have a foreign nation able to listen in on most phones at will, using taps that cannot be found because they are built into the phone system itself, and willing to use the information gleaned from those calls to blackmail Americans into any desired course of action. This may well be what Ariel Sharon meant when he stated that the Jewish people control America.

That the information gleaned from these phone taps is being used to coerce the behavior of key individuals in the US Government and media is illustrated by the manner in which the government and the media have handled this scandal of the largest spy ring ever uncovered inside the United States, and of phone taps on all of our phones. They are downplaying it. Actually, burying it is a better word.

Fox News, alone of all the media, actually ran the story as a four part broadcast, and put the story up on its web site. Then, without explanation, Fox News erased the story from their web site and have never mentioned it again. CNN followed by ``Orwellizing`` their report of the two hour advance warning of the WTC attacks sent to Odigo employees. But far more telling is the admission made by a US Official in part one of the Fox News report that hard evidence existed linking the events of 9/11 not to Arab Muslims, but to some of the more than 200 Israeli spies arrested both before and after 9/11, but that this evidence had been CLASSIFIED.

Since then, any and all mention of the Israeli spy ring and phone tapping scandal has resulted in a barrage of shrill screams of ``hate`` and ``anti-Semite``, two well worn and frankly over used devices to try to silence discussion on any topic unfavorable to the nation which owns the spy ring in question.

The story of the uncovering of the largest spy ring ever discovered inside the United States should be the story of the century, if indeed the US media is looking out for the best interests of the American people. That this spy ring helped drug smugglers evade investigators should be a major scandal, if indeed the US media is looking out for the best interests of the American people. That the spy ring includes companies able to track and tap into any phone in America, including the White House, should be a cause celebre`, if indeed the US media is looking out for the best interests of the American people.

But they are not. The media is trying to bury this story. They are spiking it, erasing it from their web sites in a chilling real-life Orwellian rewriting of history.

The actions of the US media are those of people trying to protect this spy ring and those that the spy ring worked for.

The actions of the US media are those of traitors to the American people.

September 11, One Year Later MOHAMMED ATTA WAS A SECRET SERVICE AGENT
[La Repubblica sept. 11]

MOHAMMED ATTA WAS A SECRET SERVICE AGENT, SAY EGYPTIAN OFFICIALS.

Diah Rashwahn, chief expert on radical Islamic
movements at the Center of Strategic Studies in Cairo, was
interviewed by the Italian daily La Repubblica. Rashwahn says
that ``evidence given on Atta`s guilt is fragile and ridiculous,
both from the Islamic standpoint and from the investigative
standpoint... you become Islamist only if you are part of an
Islamic group... well, so far neither the German, nor the
American security authorities have told us who had recruited Atta
and which group he was part of. For me, Atta`s behavior is more
similar to a secret service agent than to an Islamic militant.``

Another official interviewed, Mountasser al Zavyat, is
lawyer for many Islamic groups. ``I have dealt with Islamic groups
for twenty-five years`` he says, ``and yet, Atta`s name has never
been mentioned.... All information in our possession induces us
to doubt that Atta was an Islamic militant.... I exclude that Bin
Laden could entrust somebody like Atta the command of an
operation like the attacks in America. Atta could have been
discovered at any moment.``

[La Repubblica sept. 11]

THE EGYPTIAN PRESIDENCY HAS NOT CHANGED ITS MIND ON 9/11,
says Mubarak`s number one advisor, Osama al Baz. ``I have no
certainty on Bin Laden`s responsibility, I have not seen the
documents and the evidence the US claim to possess. For the
moment, the United States have supplied some countries, including
Egypt, a synthesis of what they have. But I, in my quality as
lawyer, cannot draw conclusions on the basis of this synopsis.
We have not seen the evidence, such evidence has not been
crosschecked, you do not know whether it is substantial.
Everything is of vital importance for a trial.``

The interviewer
recalls that Mubarak, who has been a professional pilot, last
November stated publicly that he did not believe that a beginner
like Atta could have flown the airplane right into the World
Trade Center. ``In a successive meeting, Mubarak`s political
advisor, Osama al Baz, has confirmed Egypt`s skepticism at the
highest level,`` writes La Repubblica

ADL Urges Western Leaders to Denounce `The Big Lie` About 911.
____________________________________________________________

Easy to expose the lie. Just declassify the evidence regarding the 5 arrested Israelis the US Government admits exists and let`s see what it is. Meanwhile, between this announcement and the blacklisting of this web site, it is obvious that the ADL (discovered to be running a spy operation on American citizens) is very afraid the truth might get out. Point of clarification; nobody blames the Jews for 9-11, we blame Israel, which is NOT the same thing, and like it or not, Israel has a proven history of setting off bombs and framing others for them. ``Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It`s classified information.`` -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron`s Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.

ADL Urges Western Leaders to Denounce `The Big Lie` About 9/11 and
to Help Educate Against Anti-Semitism

both of the Anti-Defamation League

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- On the eve of the
September 11 anniversary, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is
calling on Western leaders to denounce the anti-Semitic conspiracy
theory that continues to gain credibility in large parts of the
world, the ``big lie`` blaming Jews for 9/11.

``It is unacceptable that in many parts of the world there is
widespread acceptance of the myth that Jews were responsible for
the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,`` said
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director. ``This outrageous
conspiracy theory is accepted as truth by ever-growing numbers, and
this is fueling anti-Semitism throughout the Arab and Muslim world.
Western leaders bear an important responsibility to help counter
the spread of the big lie.``

In a letter to the foreign ministers of European nations, ADL
urged Western leaders to take public steps and to encourage
educational initiatives to counter the spread of anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories about September 11. The attacks have spawned
several theories about Jewish or Israeli involvement, including the
myth that ``4,000 Jews`` failed to show for work at the World Trade
Center on the day of the attacks, and the conspiracy theory that
Jews were the ``real perpetrators`` behind the attacks.

``This outrageous, anti-Semitic conspiracy theory is extremely
dangerous and indicates a deep reservoir of anti-Jewish feeling
spread by media and government lies about Jews,`` ADL stated in a
letter to foreign ministers. ``We have seen in the past century how
such a lie going unchallenged can lead to mass murder. We urge you
to issue a public statement denouncing this bigotry and to consider
educational programs to make sure this hatred does not spread.``

The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world`s
leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and
services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

Israeli Weapons of Mass Destruction: a Threat to Peace
by John Steinbach
DC Iraq Coalition, March 2002
Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG), globalresearch.ca, 3 March 2002

With between 200 and 500 thermonuclear weapons and a sophisticated delivery system, Israel has quietly supplanted Britain as the World`s 5th Largest nuclear power, and may currently rival France and China in the size and sophistication of its nuclear arsenal. Although dwarfed by the nuclear arsenals of the U.S. and Russia, each possessing over 10,000 nuclear weapons, Israel nonetheless is a major nuclear power, and should be publically recognized as such. Since the Gulf War in 1991, while much attention has been lavished on the threat posed by Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the major culprit in the region, Israel, has been largely ignored. Possessing chemical and biological weapons, an extremely sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and an aggressive strategy for their actual use, Israel provides the major regional impetus for the development of weapons of mass destruction and represents an acute threat to peace and stability in the Middle East. The Israeli nuclear program represents a serious impediment to nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation and, with India and Pakistan, is a potential nuclear flashpoint (prospects of meaningful non-proliferation are a delusion so long as the nuclear weapons states insist on maintaining their arsenals). Citizens concerned about sanctions against Iraq, peace with justice in the Middle East, and nuclear disarmament have an obligation to speak out forcefully against the Israeli nuclear program.

The Discovery Progress of Perversions in FarangiLand.

Anti-male bias increasingly pervades our culture

September 4, 2002

by John Leo

A famous televison newswoman told this joke last month at a fund-raising dinner for a women`s college: A woman needed a brain transplant. Her doctor said two brains were available, a woman`s brain for $500 and a man`s brain for $5,000. Why the big price difference? Answer: The woman`s brain has been used.

Most in the audience laughed, but one man stood up and booed. What`s wrong? asked a woman at his table. The man said, ``Just substitute woman, black or Jew for `man` in that joke, and tell me how it sounds.``

At about the same time, American Greeting Cards launched an ad campaign in Newsweek, Life and other magazines. One ad featured a ``Thelma and Louise`` greeting card, pasted into the magazines, that said on the front: ``Men are always whining about how we are suffocating them.`` The punch line inside the card was this: ``Personally, I think if you can hear them whining, you`re not pressing hard enough on the pillow.``

The newswoman, who is a friend, seemed shocked when I phoned and raised questions about her joke. ``The poor, sensitive white male,`` she said. A spokesman for the greeting card company saw nothing wrong with a humorous card about a woman killing a man. He faxed a statement saying the card had been pretested successfully, and besides, ``We`ve heard no protests from consumers who are buying and using this card.`` But would American Greetings print a card with the sexes reversed, so the humor came from men joking about suffocating a woman? No, said the spokesman, because 85 percent to 90 percent of cards are bought by women. There is no market for a reverse card.

In truth, no man could get up at a fancy banquet and tell a joke about how stupid women are. And a greeting card joking about a woman`s murder would be very unlikely, even if surveys showed that millions of males were eager to exchange lighthearted gender-killing greetings. The obvious is true: A sturdy double standard has emerged in the gender wars.

``There used to be a certain level of good-natured teasing between the sexes,`` says Christina Sommers, author of ``Who Stole Feminism?`` ``Now even the most innocent remark about women will get you in trouble, but there`s no limit at all to what you can say about men.``

Men`s rights groups phone me a lot, and I tell them my general position on these matters: The last thing we need in America is yet another victim group, this one made up seriously aggrieved males. But these groups do have an unmissable point about double standards. On the ``Today`` show last November, Katie Couric suddenly deviated from perkiness and asked a jilted bride, ``Have you considered castration as an option?`` Nobody seemed to object. Fred Hayward, a men`s rights organizer, says: ``Imagine the reaction if Matt Lauer had asked a jilted groom, `Wouldn`t you just like to rip her uterus out?```

The double standard is rooted in identity politics and fashionable theories about victimization: Men as a group are oppressors; jokes that oppressors use to degrade the oppressed must be taken seriously and suppressed. Jokes by the oppressed against oppressors, however, are liberating and progressive. So while sexual harassment doctrine cracks down on the most harmless jokes about women, very hostile humor about men keeps expanding with almost no objections.

Until recently, for example, the 3M company put out post-it notes with the printed message: ``Men have only two faults: everything they say and everything they do.`` Anti-male greeting cards are increasingly graphic, with some of the most hostile coming from Hallmark Cards` Shoebox Division.

(Sample: ``Men are scum ... Excuse me. For a second there I was feeling generous.``) Columnist Cathy Young sees a rising tide of male-bashing, including ``All Men Are Bastards`` and ``Men We Love to Hate`` calendars, and a resentful ``It`s-always-his-fault`` attitude pervading women`s magazines.

Commercial attempts to increase the amount of sexual antagonism in America are never a good idea. And if you keep attacking men as a group, they will eventually start acting as a group, something we should fervently avoid. But the worst impact of all the male-bashing is on the young.

Barbara Wilder-Smith, a teacher and researcher in the Boston area, was recently quoted in several newspapers on how deeply anti-male attitudes have affected the schools. When she made ``Boys Are Good`` T-shirts for boys in her class, all 10 of the female student teachers under her supervision objected to the message. (One, she said, was wearing a button saying ``So many men, so little intelligence.``)

``My son can`t even wear the shirt out in his back yard,`` she said. ``People see it and object strongly and shout things.`` On the other hand, she says, nobody objects when the girls wear shirts that say ``Girls Rule`` or when they taunt the boys with a chant that goes, ``Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider; girls go to college to get more knowledge.`` Worse, she says, many adolescent boys object to the ``Boys Are Good`` shirts too, because they have come to accept the cultural message that something is seriously wrong with being a male.

``The time is ripe for people to think about the unspoken anti-male `ism` in our colleges and schools,`` she says. And in the rest of the popular culture as well.

Osama bin Laden - The Forbidden Truth

by Firoz Osman
It is becoming more apparent that the war in Afghanistan has nothing to do with terrorism, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban or the World Trade Centre. Realpolitik, the need and greed for oil and gas are, once again, the source of misery and tragedy. This time it is in Central Asia, just as it was in Iraq.

In a book entitled “Unholy Wars”, ABC news correspondent John K Cooley reveals United States and multi-national oil companies intentions to establish pipelines to route the oil and natural gas of Central Asia and the Caspian Basin to the West. To this end the aims of the generals of the Pakistani ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and their American counterparts, the CIA, converged. They saw in the Taliban the means by which they could achieve their objectives.

In 1993, Pakistan and Turkmenistan had signed an agreement to jointly develop their energy resources and build a pipeline between the two countries. UNOCAL, based in California, signed a protocol with the Turkmen government to explore the feasibility of building this pipeline. The one-year study cost $10 million for a huge energy project worth $18 billion, to transport Turkmen oil and gas by pipeline to the Indian Ocean. This trade and energy would run through Pakistan, America`s ally, rather than through Iran, her adversary ever since the overthrow of the Shah in 1979. This will also bypass Iranian ambitions to channel Turkmen energy.

A further objective of both the Taliban and Pakistan is the recovery of natural gas from northern Afghanistan`s Shibergan province, pumped northward to Russia through Uzbekistan. Afghan estimates of the resources in the Shibergan gas fields run to 1,100 billion cubic meters. Export of the gas continued throughout the 1979-89 war, despite periodic sabotage orchestrated by the CIA and ISI.

Corroborating Cooley`s findings, a book has just appeared in Paris entitled ‘Bin Laden, La Verite Interdite` (Bin Laden, the Forbidden Truth). The book claims that the Bush administration held extensive talks with the Taliban regime from February to August 2001 with the aim of securing control over the vast oil and gas reserves in Central Asia through the construction of an oil pipeline from the rich oil fields in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakstan, to Afghanistan, Pakistan and onto the Indian Ocean.

The authors, Jean Charles Brisard and Guiliaume Dasquie, with long experience in intelligence analysis allege that if the Taliban had facilitated the construction of the pipeline and US control over Central Asian oil and gas reserves, the latter would have paved the way for economic assistance to, and political recognition of, the Taliban. Taliban`s unwillingness to accept US conditions frustrated the Americans. According to co-author Jean Charles Brisard,`` At one moment during the negotiations the US representatives told the Taliban,` either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs.```

It is well established that the Bush administration, and the President Bush`s family in particular, have a strong oil background with close oil corporate links. Vice-president Dick Cheney was until the end of 2000, president of Halliburton, a company that provides services for the oil industry. National Security Advisor, Condoleeza Rice was a manager for Chevron between 1991 and 2000, while Commerce Secretary Donald Evans and Energy Secretary Stanley Abraham worked for oil giant, Tom Brown.

As John Pilger asserted, the Taliban were trained and supported by the CIA and SAS, agencies of the US and Britain. Soon after their take over of Kabul in 1996, their leaders were entertained by the executives of Unocal Oil Company in Houston, Texas. With secret US government approval, the company offered them a generous cut of the profits of the oil and gas pumped through the pipeline that the Americans wanted to build from Soviet Central Asia through Afghanistan. A US diplomat said: `The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis did.` He explained that `` Afghanistan will become a US oil colony; there would be huge profits for the West, no democracy and the legal persecution of women. We can live with that,`` he said.

Although the deal fell through, it still remains an urgent priority of the administration of George W Bush. The Caspian Basin has the greatest source of untapped fossil fuel on earth and enough, according to one estimate, to meet the US`s voracious energy needs for generations. Only if the pipeline runs through Afghanistan can the US hope to control it. So, not surprisingly, US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, is now referring to “ moderate`` Taliban, who will join a US-sponsored `` loose federation`` to run Afghanistan. The `` war on terrorism`` is a cover for this. A means of achieving strategic aims that lie behind the flag-waving facade.

If the allegations and arguments contained in ` Bin Laden, The Forbidden Truth` and `Unholy Wars` are true, it raises some fundamental questions about he US bombing of Afghanistan, and indeed, about the 11 September tragedy itself. Is oil the ulterior motive, the hidden agenda, behind the assault upon Afghanistan? Is the attack a vile attempt to gain control of the country and establish a pliant regime in Kabul, which will enable Washington to extend its tentacles over Central Asia and its oil wealth?

The world has the right to know the truth - for the sake of the innocent people who are being slaughtered in Afghanistan, and indeed, for the sake of the thousands who were killed in New York and Washington on 11 September.

Name one country which is so accursed by identity crisis.I`ve met several commies,socialists,liberals and such specimen who, the moment they can write ABC ,who spit & tell everyone around ``O,I`m not a bloody hindu``.

It is for the commie liberal types that Hindutva is bad.But no matter how bad they are they are not subservient to alien philosophies(if one can call `an idiots` guide to colonialism` philosophy).

Never ever try to paint a rosy picture of a Hindoo country which is a festering sore,bleeding ulcer & drooling leper on the face of the earth.Ask those who have been there.It is dirty,ugly,starving,faeces & urine drenched,& a paradise for dung-beetles.

A Hindoo who visited after long time told me of the urinating & defecating,row upon row,on railway platforms looking across their mirror-like images.All hindoos.

In order to cross the road in Delhi,he had to take a rickshaw!--Full of dirt,flies,& fumes one cannot even breath.And then the claim to ``progress`` by digit-coolies,& satellite,& going nuclear.Now C`mon just look at the faces of Bajpai & his hindoo cabinet-----was there something amiss without such specimen.

The Bhaand & Kanjar Bollywood(now Mollywood?---you HIS Masters VOICES) tries to show the advantage of being hooker & pimp rather than becoming a practising hindoo or a Secularist with dagger in the armpit & Lenin on the lips.

And if Ken Lay is Hindoo(``call me Indian secularist now``) he will argue how the everyone has been screwing the hindoos from time immemorial.How their inablity to defend themselves(call me non-violent please) has resulted in mass conversions.Ken Lay would also have a tough time justifying his brahminism whose corruption is

also subject to quotas.

Ken Lay the Hindoo would argue that a neighbour is to be blamed which is bent upon letting secret share-holders slip through who are infact terrorists who did the Enron in.

If Ken Lay is a Hindoo he will make an a impassioned plea to construct a temple(zoo)which would give sanctuary to some stone-animals who must be kissed & sucked at appropriate places.He would also blame the wretched,starving,emaciated,garbage-riffling,homeless,hindoos who form over 50%

You seen Ken lay can Lay a lot of hindoos.

We Pakistanis?

What about Christain South Americans & Mexicans,Atheist Russians,Whatever East Europeans,------in short almost 4/5 billion souls living in over 98% of countries,otherwise known as the Third world.

Looking in the rear & side-view mirrors does result in safe driving.And once one has safely backed the vehicle one does want to go in forward gear...otherwise why the analogy.

Could it be the huge truck-drivers,the 24-wheelers,the motor-cycle gangsters who are bent upon ramming into the dinkies,and then pulling out the bodies from the carnage(by their ears) into the 20the century transplant centres & morgues--for a fair price?

Now that I assure you is no accident.

Empty Vessels And All That Jazz (It seems CHOWK ate up my first post) so ENCORE!

ZEEMAX!

A happy welcome to you.

As you can see I am here---ready,willing,and able.

My alter-ego at your service as well.

Breaking News: September 11, 2001 Rdesikan:#349The Mouse that roared.

I think you are making the classic mistake all racist make in assuming that majority of Muslims are not CITIZENS of these countries--including the three guys you seem to despise for no reason except your seething predjudice.

Now these guys as CITIZENS have more say than you as to who should be allowed to stay here(for example an immigrant like yourself).But,having been immigrant ourselves once,we would prefer to have laws with quasi-equal status to immigrants like you as well.And we do & will continue to revise and update the very rules you so arrogantly tell us to play by.WE are the rule-makers you dunce(or are you still smelling of you-know-what.)

In case you may not know there is a very high number of muslims who are indigineous blacks & whites(& chinese and cherokees--you name it) so you are completely tied to your 9 to 9 grindstone to know what is happening outside the tall towers or expansive silicone-parks.

Muslims are a very very essential fabric of the American tapestry.They are vibrant,colorful and spread out.They are here to stay and will continue to bring about a slow & silent positive change that will result in somewhat better & more informed US policies(domestic and foreign).

Welcome and enjoy while you are here...and never consider yourself less than anyone.

WASSALAAM.
