The Emerging Threat "I believe Taliban had a social security system for the women they prohibited to work."(Zeem)

I believe your -- "I believe Taliban" -- wholeheartedly.

In fact Taliban's Social Security System was the best in the world -- it made -- "a thousand pious girls for picking up (as) prostitutes".

The Emerging Threat Re: # 24
tahmed -- 'miserable Danish' because some of these puerile immature stupid Danes have nothing better to do than to blaspheme other people icons.

But in a way they may be serving one important purpose and doing one great favor to the Muslims -- they are slowly desensitising -- the "chooee to mooee" -- 'Mohammed-worshiping' -- Ummah -- against the anaphylactic convulsions and seizures -- that the whole community undergoes -- following badmouthing the prophet by any bugger anywhere in the entire world.

These craven buggers enjoy irritating the already insecure unsure perpetually irritated unhappy Muslims -- once they have found -- it is soooo easy to insult the Muslims -- and see them foaming through the mouth, burning embassies, killing their own people burning their own cars destroying their own cities -- all over the Muslim world.

The silver lining in the dark clouds of the universal assault on the Muslimhood may be -- hopefully, after repeated insults by the foreigners the Muslims psyche will finally become immune to criticism of their too great-to-be-insulted Prophet and their Holy book and settle down like the Christians and Jews did against the insults of their Holy Books and their Prophets.

Looking Towards a Brighter Future Fiza -- you can be looking towards a bright future as far as your priorities and your writings are concerned -- more power to your expressive pen -- and more humaneness to your activist heart.

The Emerging Threat Alqaida says the Danish embassy bombing was the revenge against Danish blaspheming the Prophet.

In that 'revenge' 7 innocent Pakistani died and only one Dane died. Unfortunately even that one 'Dane' was a miserable Danish citizen of Pakistani orgin -- not of Danish origin.

It is incumbent upon Pakistan to put to sleep this rabid dog of theirs -- born bred and rabies-bound by the Pakistani mad-rassas -- because this dog is biting no one else but Pakistan itself -- otherwise the whole country will soon be in the doghouse of the NATO.

That saudi bastard OBL is not only has a failed brain with a failed kidney he is totally blind -- he kills Pakistanis and calls it revenge against the Danish.

Pakistan should get rid of the the Satan and the Son of the Satan Zawahiri -- they are no cash cows for Pakistan they are mad cows for Pakistan.

"Aitzaz blasts Asif, says most graft charges justified

By Masood Haider

NEW YORK, June 1: Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, President of Supreme Court Bar Association and a leader of Pakistan People’s Party, has severely criticised his party’s co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari for dragging his feet on restoration of the judiciary because he “doesn’t want independent judges”.

In a highly volatile and extensive interview with the New York Times magazine (Ahsan was on the cover of the magazine), he said that most charges of corruption against Ms Benazir Bhutto and Mr Asif Ali Zardari were justified. It may be mentioned that Barrister Ahsan was the minister of interior in the first government of Benazir Bhutto.

The author of the article, James Traub, writes: “I asked him (Mr Ahsan) how many of the allegations of corruption he believed were justified.

“Most of them,” Mr Ahsan said, after a moment’s reflection.

“The type of expenses that she had and he has are not from sources of income that can be lawfully explained and accounted for.”

In the interview which was conducted over a week, James Traub said that Mr Ahsan recognised that the PPP was itself a feudal and only marginally democratic body led by a figure accused of corruption and violence.

Mr Ahsan, who defended both Ms Benazir Bhutto and Mr Zardari in 14 cases, told Times that the charges of “corruption against both” and in Mr Zardari’s case also of “kidnapping, ransom and murder”, were justified.

“Ahsan”, said the interviewer, “is almost recklessly outspoken about PPP leaders, even though they are his own political patrons.

He speaks admiringly of Benazir Bhutto’s courage and steadfastness but also points out with disdain that she viewed herself as the PPP’s ‘life chairperson’. And he does not bother to conceal his dim view of Zardari.”(dawn)

Both of us wouldn't mind some mitthayee on diwali or some sawaaiyaan at eid."(DM)

it couldn't have been said any better -- dostmitter ji -- ah those good old days of school and college functions and parties -- celeberatin Eid Diwali and Holi -- in that beloved 'Hindu country' -- by now -- "hooway jatay haiN ub dhundhlay nishaN say/kay iss mehfil meiN hum ayay kahaN say"...

here is my take on losing those good old days:

"nasah ji, it has always been. On the other hand one must appreciate that Muslims believe not only Saudi Arabia and Turkey and Persia to be their lands, but everywhere they can own a house to become 'their' land."

Eklavya ji -- you take breathtaking jumps between the profound and the profane. You are an ideological mystery wrapped in a linguistic enigma -- aren't you....:)

Murad -- now you are talking like an ascetic Muslim -- you want to takes away whatever little fun the man-made religions have in holidays/holydays -- like Eid, Shabrat/shabebarat Ramadan/Ramzan, Christmas, Easter, Yome Kippur, Shivratri etc etc?

why do you call them 'baggage'? -- they certainly are not garbage.

Were Buddhists and Jains Persecuted in Ancient India? or does this sound a little less extreme:

Private God is a solace for sorrow -- Public God is a prescription for permanent petulance.

Were Buddhists and Jains Persecuted in Ancient India? All religions are waste of time money and intellect.

Private God is a solace for sorrow -- Public God is a prescription for murder and mayhem.

There is one 'Kalma' that spans all religions:

"There is no God but ONE made by MAN"

Were Buddhists and Jains Persecuted in Ancient India? The ones who wallow in the garbage calling it -- my garbage right or wrong -- are called good Muslims, good Hindus, good Christians, good Jews and good Buddhists -- the ones who don't are called the apostate and self-haters.
