This, your sex behavior, which you call 'your strong weakness'is what the Quran terms as a disease in the hearts of the men and so advises women not to speak softly to them( Does it make any difference). But Allah does not prescribe any treatment for the disease though it seems to be very simple; castrate all the males as a ritual 'khatnah' instead of removing some skin of the penis only.

"All those people who divide Ummah of holy prophet for the sake of their tummies are actually enemies of Islam."

Which Ummah? Is it also the 'last' one and cannot be replaced? Its 'kartoot' are such that it deserves to be replaced or has it already been done so?

You are great. Thank you for the elaborative response. I wonder why even the Mullah are becoming feminists in the pakiland and insisting on equality and empoverment of the female gender.

You are a Mullah, but a 'kafar' one.

Now please tell me about eating of sea animals; they are not required to be slaughtered? Why?

Your quote:

"The Bible does say in 24:16
And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death."

Interesting isn't it! There is no punishment for blasphemy against Allah in Islam I think. It is the blasphemic against the prophet that shall be lynched in Islam. Am I right?

A very realistic write-up indeed. This is what the age-old wisdom enshrined in Quran says. Men and women are 'Zoujein', complementary to one an other and not similar and equal.

I wonder how you came to know about the problems of the 50+, especially their erectile dysfunction?

Don't be disappointed as surgery can today make them more functional erectically than the normal one. Dr AKCheema can perhaps advise us in this respect.

The Psychology of Mothering Re: # 99

Gul Rehman with having 5 daughters and still poor!

This reminds me of a recent episode in my neighbourhood. It so happened that 5 cycles had been stolen in a week in our street when the theif, a young Pathan boy was caught red-handed. He was given a good thrashing and then handed over to the police. Our front-door neighbour, a professor, whose son's cycle was stolen pursued the case with the police and told me the proceedings of the case. He told me that the police took the theif to his house where he had stated the stolen cycles were lying. There the police saw some young beautiful sisters of the thief. The professor said that he was surprised when the police advised the thief as to why he did not use his young beautiful sisters to become rich instead of stealing cycles as a petty thief. So bearing of daughters is in fact a good investment in some sections of pathans and kabulies who sell their daughters.

The Psychology of Mothering Sohail

A good and balanced article unlike the previous one's by the writer. He seems to be maturing from the bookish to the real world.

In fact in the west the mothering role has also been taken up to some extent by the state wheras in the east, being a mother,is still a staus of honor and support for a woman. Our mothers' greatest threat to their sons is still the warning that they deliver to their wayward sons that they would not
forgive them '32 strains of milk' (Woh unko 32 dhaarein nahein bakhshein gi).

Is It Treason to Question Amer Nazir

What an awful reality of life in Pakiland which we usually treat as the fate of all human beings but realize that it's the doing of the society itself only when we go to some civilized society.

You say:

"What exactly is my country, to whom shall I give my loyalty – the land, the people or the regime? It is difficult to decide when all three are in conflict with each other. Were they not supposed
to be on the same side... I often wonder..."

Our founding fathers had well-set these priorities in the National Anthem. It says:

"Qoum, mulk, saltanat, paainda, taabinda baad"

But unfortunately we have reversed this order and have come to treat the 'saltanat' (state) first. In Quranic terms it is called 'Taaghoot', an inhuman despotism.

The ‘shoey’ Side of Politics Re: # 176

Very pertinent questions indeed. In fact the MQM is the Israel of Pakistan: suffering from prosecution phobia, the so called US mohajirs have become too fascistically ethnic centered forgetting the retribution of their ilk in Bangla Desh.

Student Movement Revisited I wonder there is no mention in this article either about the first leftist student movement, named Democratic Student Federation, established in Lahore in the late 40's immediately after establishment of Pakistan under the presidentship of Zuhair Naqvi. Abid Hassan Manto was also its office bearer. On another board I had learnt Dr. Sarwar also knew Zuhair Naqvi and his fate. I however wanted to know more about him. Can any body help me in this respet?

This is indeed the crux of the socio-political problem in the Indian sub-continent - faith versus communal (or cultural/national) identity. Jinnah, in advocating his Two-Nation Theory also seldom talked of religious differences, but of communal and cultural differences among Hindus and Muslims. But what actually happened: Pakistan was turned into a ‘Fatwa’ state wherein the most important identity was one’s faith to be determined by one's declaration to be submitted not to Allah, who is, according to Quran even, the true arbiter of one’s faith, but to the state functionaries who may not be believing in God even.
