Why not turn all Pakistan into 'Heera Mandi' where every woman becomes a 'heera' (diamond)?
The Transformation of the Punjabi Man: Pashtunization or Militarization?

Re: # 1

"The Punjab has become more Pakhtunised than most Punjabis realise, and this is bound to have
far-reaching consequences for Punjabi society."

May I ask Khalid: What is this 'the' Punjab. Is Punjab, like 'the Pakiland', not a proper noun or as the British took it only a 'Land of the five rivers'. What a Punjabi slave mindset it exhibits!

The height of this slavish and opportunistic, mindset has amply been demonstrated by Gujrati Mafia in surrendering a seat of a Punjabi (Attocky, to be exact) daughter of their's for providing a seat to a nincompoop (Chabal, shohda, in Attocky Punjabi) non-Punjabi (To some even a non-Paky), and that too to replace a duly elected Punjabi PM.

It is sheer blackmail. Terms and conditions of the service of the CJ are determined by the constitution which they are not in a position to amend at present.

"f it is war on terror being fought, the Saudi royals are a wrong allies to have on the side of America and Pakistan ."

It is quite understandable. All rulers want status quo and stability. Mush feels terrified by NS as he disturbs his stability and Saudi Harramin are disturbed by Osama bin Laden (Previously by Saddam also) . America is helping both
by containing these 'terrors' by mutual arrangement.
As for the carnage of innocent people America is the greatest terrorist itself. So why be surprised at their collusion.

Thank you dear for adopting the quote and guiding me to get rid of it! I have already tried this. Let me see if it appears again.

Sorry! I should have said 'Readers might be bored by too much repetition of the quote' instead of saying 'I am bored'.

Re: # 45

NS's abortive trip to his homeland has done one great service: It has removed the sacred cloak from the Saudi Harramin and exposed the dagger beneath. The Saudi Harramin who had killed our beloved 'Khuda'to replace it with their revengeful Salfi Allah with the power of their petrodollars have now opened an Islamic Guantanamo for Pakies in the sacred land to help the rulers of their ilk. So the Paki Nation has now come to realize that the Wardi ruler of Pakiland and his henchmen can understand no other language than the language of the bullet.

Alas! The Pakistan of the Quaide Aazam has at last been turned into a real 'Yaakistan'(A lawless land); 'Inna lillah he wa inna illeh he raajioon'.

It is evident that an international mafia is working against Pakistan, but I wonder why people overlook the local most potent players in this bazaar drama - Mqm's matarua gardi and Gujrati mafia's disgraceful servitude. Mqm's 'gherao' of SHC is evidently a warning to the SC to keep quite or else....

As regards NS's trip to his country it was just a comically tragic or tragically comic interlude and nothing more. How can unarmed civilians get rid of a mercenary army in whose grip is the 'rag-e-jaan' of this country? It is indeed the defining moment.

See what Bulle Shah says about himself:

"Nah mein momin wich maseetaan
Nah mein wich kufar diaan reetaan
Nah mein paakaan wich paleetaan
Nah mein Moosa nah Firoun
Bulleyaa ki jaanan mein koun"

Some questions for Naqshbandi and the Ulema on the board.

Surprisingly the original Islam uses the word 'fareezah' with 'ilm' (knowledge) only and not for any ritual like 'namaz', etc. This 'fareezah' was meant originally for men only but was latter extended to women also and to 'namaz', etc., as well.

Paradoxically, the Mullah, use the word 'namaz' for Quranic 'Salat' notwithstanding the fact that this is the name of a pagan ritual but object to using the name of their 'Khuda' for Arabic 'Allah'.

Does it not show, Islam is being modified imperceptibly?

Am I right Mr Naqshbandi?

And above all they have been made law-givers as members of the Paky Parliament when the laws made by it are not applicable to them. Is it not a blatant discrimination in the Paky Constitution?

"Sex is supposed to be enjoyable by Muslim thought and both men and women have a right to expect a good time from each other....you just have to be married first :)"

What about sex with slaves which is also allowed in Islam though the Mullah, who are themselves homosexuals, have practically banned it? Marriage is in fact more a hurdle in sex satisfaction, especially when it is of a monogamous type in a closed society like that of Muslims'. It is perhaps why the Muslims are the most sexually starved nation.

Tahmad

Thank you dear for your comments. I find that whereas all Christians, especially the missionaries, are generally full of compassion for human beings without being judgmental, whereas the Muslims, especially the religious ones, lack any compassion for humanity at large. Islam, as interpreted by the Mullah, is perhaps the only religion which authorises its adherents to
declare any body a kafir (Takfir) and hate him, nay, even kill him.

Nice write-up; I totally agree with you. It reminds me of BaYazid Bistami, a Muslim saint, who had a vision of journeying to heaven where he found the chair to be empty which he promptly occupied himself.

One who rises to the status of a saint becomes a 'Bhagwan' himself (At least according to Hindu philosophy). Poor Bhagwan, having no super-bhagwan Himself to love and worship, can turn only to his creation and love them to fill up His emptiness and allay His loneliness within.
