I thought that definition of Muslim in 1998 is different than it was in 1958. (Ahmedi?).

All Pakistanis <> muslim
All Indians <> Hindu

For a person advocating ``We are all humans`` philosophy, you do carry lot of bigotry.....

For definition of <> contact ArjunM...........

Absolutely genius!!!! Your first post I read was on ``Who wants to marry a millionaire dog board``. It was your earlier Avatar (hamidm). I declare and accept you as a new Hindu god (number 100, 000,000,01.) .......

I liked your line of interaction on ``Muslims and Modern Banking: A Rejoinder`` board. Please follow that here too.

``Following is a list of Danish products ..............until Danish government handover cartoonists and other culprits to a Muslim country where these animals be prosecuted under Blasphemy Laws.``

Be careful about what you ask for. It will set a precedent for prosecuting any one giving an azan under Blasphemy Laws. (In India for an example).

No wonder we in the developing world are being duped by the MNCs... We do not even know how to calculate our share....:-)

I am a fan of Salim but you can not include Sadna in that list of women he never abused.

Pakistan Travelogue I

Wish I had all this information before going, but it was ``told today go tomorrow`` business visit. Did not made to Nizzamuddin. Did see it from the hotel room though if that counts at all. Did the usual Kutub Minar, Gate and the Delhi Hat visit. You could clearly see the old temple stones with the figurine used to build the mosque(?) near Kutub Minar. I found good coffee in Jaisalmer (!!!) Rajasthan on my last trip to India.

Enough digression. Sorry Stuka. Will stop now.

Thanks for the tip. Will try it next time. I must not have to have the coffee at Oberoi, infact I was sneaking out of the hotel`s service entrance to catch an autorickshaw to wander the nearby places and search for good coffee. At hotel, I specifically asked for black coffee no milk. What we got was instant coffee in boiling water. Also will try some other lively hotels than the stuffy Oberoi. I am not familiar with Delhi. Is the Oberoi in New or Old Delhi?

One thing we missed the most while in Delhi was regular black coffee. Hotel Oberoi that claims to be a five star hotel do not know how to brew a decent cup of coffee. Would have given an arm and a leg to get even a cup of Dunkin Donut. Tried Barrista too but was disappointed.

``DM #106: Glad to see there is at least one Indian who supports the denial of visa to Modi.`` You are saying FV is not Indian?
