In the Dying Light Farzana #198: [All imagery, if you have an imagination, is cherishable.}

I do not agree.
Perhaps you meant that all imagery by Farzana is cherishable, because she is Farzana.
I do not cherish images of Marquis De Sade’s sick mind.
I do not cherish images of mass graves of jews being bull dozed by the allies.
I do not cherish images of charred bodies of Gujrat and Delhi victims.
I do not cherish any of the images of death, you presented of Varanasi. I have never been to Varanasi and now have no desire at all to look at what you described.
Sorry.
However I do appreciate your cleverness in refusing to see dead Hindus and making a simple political statement because you have some image to protect. “Jo dar gaya samjho mar gaya”. Agreed, you have been scared for a while now.

[Your list has conveniently chosen the tangibles; even the tangible may be cherishable down the road...like when you grow old and wisened you might recall a line from here and cherish it!}

Now that you mention the intangibles, pray do tell us what they were. Farzana Bibi, I may grow older but I am not going to get any wiser. This is it. You can blame me for being stupid, but it is your intentional convoluted writing, that is partly to blame too. Let your Yeas be Yeas and Nays be Nays. Please do not talk through both corners of your mouth.

[..!), but the Hajj stampede is different from this case. That happens because people do not follow basic principles of civilized behavior, like walking in a straight line, queuing up, and not pushing and shoving to be the first to stone a devil they do not know. }

Of course Farzana. Moreover we do have to find some human scapegoats instead of blaming the One and only Big Kahuna of the True faith. I am sure this SankatMochan fellow was just some junior flunky in the backward crowded pantheon of Hinduism. He does need to be questioned using third degree methods. It is just a theory, but could it be that the soft state of India and even softer yellow Hindus are just too civilized to deal with the terrorists, what with people stumbling over each other proclaiming how secular and civilized they are.

[Got your sarcasm there. ]
Farzana Bibi, some people get their sarcasm wherever they can get it, in trash bins, in Varanasi or or or wherever. How is it served to you?

[Organised religion is like a water tank; it sustains people with its limited resources for their limited needs. A mystical search is like the ocean -- jo dar gaya samjho mar gaya. Now don`t forget what I cherished...]

Have you ever thought about starting a brand new cult, Parshant Mata Anandmai Farzana Bibi? Even with gibberish like above, you will find plenty of followers in Malibu.

What did you really cherish? Spell it out before wagging that fat finger in my face, please. It makes me very very twitchy and blink a lot.

In the Dying Light One minute, you close your eyes in contemplative prayer asking for a 4.5% raise instead of the usual 2.5% and next minute you are stone cold dead minus a few limbs and people are carrying you home on a Charpoy singing `Ram Nam Satya Hai`.

How about the person who just threw the pebble and shouted `....Akbarrrrrrrr` when about ten thousand hooves reduce him or her to a pink mist like in a Vita mix?

Organized religion is great.

In the Dying Light ``I do not see those dead bodies. It is like wanting to remember something that one has cherished as it was. I am not denying what happened,..``

I tried to find what was in Varanasi that Farzana Bibi cherished.
1. Paan Pichkari, blood colored on a cream wall.
2. “Nahin, nahin,” they had laughed. “Murdaa hai…” It was the bloated carcass of an animal.
3. They saw the corpses turn blue and unrecognisable.
4. They laughed and waved and I laughed and waved back cursing myself for interrupting my goal towards mystical enlightenment.
5. From where I was, I could see ochre and white robes, people carrying wood and incense, and lots of marigold garlands. Was this about death or life?..... This was one way to see it. Or you could stick your neck out and feel the air as it camouflaged death.
6. Going through lanes selling rudraksh beads and kiosks hawking real estate....A guy with a box on a stand tried to market the idea of a quickie horoscope....sticky stains left behind by extra sweet chai...suspicious-looking chhole-bhature and pakoras...the slippery floor that is wet with water and urine that mingle with dust and muck to produce a greyish glaze...

Nothing in the whole word picture that Bibi Farzana has painted seems worth cherishing to me.
Superimpose on all the death a minor blip of SankatMochan temple bombing and even Tiny Tim would say `Bah Humbag`. Just the name of the temple seems like some Hindu deity playing the hustler.

That sankat engulfed the gullible idiots who were there for the mochan of some minor imaginary Sankat in their miserable lives is true poetic justice. A case very similar to that of the Hazis who were trampled to their death recently, just when they renounced and stoned the devil.

Who says Gods do not have a sense of humor?..LOL..

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner #331 Salim Bhai: That was a very nice gesture towards a very vicious and stupid person. Your article covered some very serious topis in your own humorous style, just like Nasah mentions in his posts #291 and #292. I respect your mature point of view about religion and prayers and would have liked to see a serious discussion. I apologize to jang and you for my contribution to trashing an extremely well written and timely article.

My best friend in life is a `Mohajir` from India, whose family moved to Karachi after going through hell and high water of Hindu mobs and selling their assets at dime to a dollar to their Hindu business partners. I have listened to his mother give a blow by blow account of the misery. I see red flags when fat brats demean the refugees. Sorry for flying off the handle.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner `` We just need to warn the women to be on their guard.``

Zehar on a horseback like a female Paul Revere trying to warn the women on Chowk of Mannyd.

``Mannyd is coming, Mannyd is coming``, as if Mannyd is some jolly green giant hollering `AuratBoo, AuratBoo` and about to come in quarts. LOL..

ZehraJ, this is a test! If you can read the above, Ignore button is not working on your profile.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner ``Secondly, in order to correct any woman, you need to be better than her in all respects. Are you?``

Of course dearie, in your case 99.9% of male Chokies will fit the bill. For you to get anywhere near me in any quality, you will have to go through at least seven births.

I am glad that I am on your ignore list. Then why all these posts addressed to me? You do know how to use the Ignore feature. Given your dumb posts on this article, I very seriously doubt that. Ask for help on UP. Someone could help you there.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner

#324 : Thanks for your kind offer and even kinder advice. No i have nothing against women on Chowk in general just the dumb arrogant ones, who can not stand Desi males and strut around like God`s gift to womanhood and civilization.
For the time being there are only two such candidates. You are one of them.

If you must, just put me on your ignore list, but please do not expect anything in return. I`ll continue to read your posts and Ilogs and remark as I see fit. Thanks.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner Chalako Massi Zehar on Mr. Aziz:

``October 23, 2005
I cannot stand Shaukat Aziz. This man is shown distributing sweets to the injured kids in various hospitals. Why could not his wife deliver those? Why do these government officials have good for nothing women as their spouses? ``

It is very easy. Every spouse in Pakistan can not be Miss high faluting High Finance like Zehar. That is why.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner #314 : Oh the derivative pricing by Miss finance was an assumption on my part. For all I know she pushes 2 year CDs and second mortgages at her bank. What do you do Miss Finance? Do not tell me you trade derivatives. With your intelligence, you could not trade your way out of a paper bag, even if your life depended on it.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner Zeena Ben: If you think Samina is an idiot, ZahraJ will beat her hands down in meanness, arrogance and stupidity.

Yesterday she was advocating sexual mutilation of Sikhs, like it were Lahore in 1947. Today it is an attack on Muhajirs, probably the only civilized group of Muslims in Pakistan. Out of all other Pakistanis, the Lahories are arguably the dumbest, specially the fat females of Lahore.

``He sounds like a typical meethi churi carrying muhajir.``

Zahra, please restrain from attacks on people, who braught you some civilzed image.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner #312: Do you understand the word `transvestite` Zehar? Do you go to work in a pink skirt or do you dress up in a blue pant suit? Whatever you wear should have no bearing on your character or intelligence. Why so much anger and venom at transvestites?

Did your dad prance around the house in high heels, undies and a bra? Did it scar you for life?

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner The Feminazi Zehra`s approach for children:

``

December 5, 2005
Rude children should not be allowed to board a ferry. Secondly, if the parents are with the child while he or she is misbehaving then the parents should be removed from the bus, train or ferry alongwith their badtameez baccha.``

The Baccha in this case was a five year old `Challako Massi` singing on the ferry while Miss Fianance was working with a Black-sholes model on her laptop.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner Zeemax: I have nothing against pimps or prostitutes and I also know that both genders of most species have a digestive tract. I thought you would be incisive enough to understand samina Ji. I have a feeling even she does not know what she is trying to say.

Pimping involves three things, a service provider, an agent and a client. Why the Oscar winning song is applicable to Salim`s article and not to others is what intrigued me. Anyhow do not get a headache trying to decipher Professor of Ebonics. Her latest attempt at humor is available on UP, if you like to visit and compare.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner ``October 23, 2005
Nature can be very cruel in teaching its lessons if we keep on ignoring it. I remembered way back I had made a remark on Chowk that day is not very far when the US forces will land in Pakistan to save the muslims from their own people.

I guess the locals must be sick of the Mukhtaran case. The locals in general become insensitive about issues related with law and order situations. ``

Crocodile tears of Zehar for Mukhtarn Mai and arrogance of the MM Sarpanch for Mrs. Salim. Suck on your thumb tonight Zehar. That might work.

By the way there is a difference between `idol` and `idle`. `there` and `their` and you do not have to get hurt `IN` the squash court to get deep tissue massage.

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner Samina #268: ``you`ve taken the line from an Oscar winning song that I have used IRONICALLY in reference to this piece for several posts..``

I know that you second graders always look down upon us kinderharteners, but can you please explain the irony you see in reference to this piece for several posts?

Muslims in Infidelistan: A Ready Reckoner Zeemax #267: `` this blow is a knockout ... but isn`t it below the belt? (pun intended ....)``

Zeemax Pai: Do you really think it was a knockout? Thank you for the ZarraNawzi but it was just a gentle ribbing for our Professor of Ebonics. She is still standing, swaying a little bit perhaps, but she always sways a little bit anyhow.

Below the belt? Nah, notice my wimpish substitution of `marketing agent` for `pimp`. Samina Ji is trying to publish the first ever book written in Ebonics.

#271: `` Where`s zeena? It would be fun having her join the pillow fight!!!``

Zeena, Jawahra, Omar; all pious Muslimahs, have alredy laughed at Salim`s effort.
By the way, can you explain the IRONY, Samina Ji is talking about in her #268? Why is that applicable only here to this piece?

#272: Sorry Zeemax Pai, was away for a while. Good to hear from you though after all these years.
