Living Together Dear Mutaal, I always enjoy reading your work, very profound, sometimes a bit too deep for a Joeshmo like myself, but I enjoy it nonetheless and the parts that don’t make sense to me, I live with the indignity of not knowing. Thanks you for you.

Let Me Count the Ways I Love You Hamid Sahib, don’t pours Salt on our wounds. Did you also notice one blonde with 4 or 5 Men and 5 or 6 naughty children? Mormon is such a confusing religion, why don’t they call it what it is, Morwoman.

Let Me Count the Ways I Love You if you tell me where you went to school, I will give you mine. So you attended university of Googlia, right?

Let Me Count the Ways I Love You Pakistani laws restricts polygamy? Hello? Where and when? When was the last time you saw a copy of Pakistani legal code? You are a joke Hasho and a pretty stupid one for that matter. This discussion is way beyond your panache.

Let Me Count the Ways I Love You Regards. My understanding is that Islam restricted the number of wives to 4 at a time. Polygamy was practiced in all parts of the world much before then. And why do widows have to “find� married men? Why can’t widows or other unmarried women find other unmarried and widowed men? Today’s practice of polygamy is much different than that of the past, and today it is only practiced in backwards parts of the world by lustful immoral men. Care can be provided without marrying someone, and women should not be subjected to this obvious discrimination in macho societies. I cannot tell you how many times I hear about some 60 year old Zimindar in our village bringing home a 14 year old as his 3rd bride. Religion and cultural idiosyncrasies are only used as an excuse. A Muslim man, woman, widowed, can live in a monogamous union in all western countries, I am sure it is possible to live in similar unions in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India. Gay sex is not harmful to anyone, but polygamy is.

Let Me Count the Ways I Love You B2J Sahib, Polygamy is not widespread in Pakistan. The discussion should be about outlawing it. While it may not be widespread amongst Indian Muslims either, India should outlaw it too. I think viewing it from gender inequality perspective is only one way of looking at this issue. There are tons of other reasons. Gender inequality is commonplace even in the absence of polygamy. Japan is one example.

My Younger Sister Has Died... Dear Mahmood, your sister is in a better place. May her sould rest in peace.

Flying Home Chalta Sahib, do you mean Air India or Indian Airlines? Because there is a difference. India only sends Air India (it's domestic airlines) to Lahore still thinking that Lahore is an Indian city.

Flying Home Sukhera Sahib, next time fly one of them Arbi airlines that go via Dubai. Free drinks, more leg room, cute cabin crew that Mashalla speaks Islami Language (Arbi).

A brilliant piece.

Long March - A Long View Analysis Shut UP Hasho, I was talking to Turly alone in response to his garbage.

Long March - A Long View Analysis Many dozen Ahmadis were massacred in 74, and until the people who killed innocent Ahamdis are dragged in the streets of Pakistan like dog’s aulad that they are, nothing will change. It’s written all our the dirty walls of Pakistan. Islami kutays must be defeated. Amen. My estimate is that Pakistan will go to dogs in about 86 days, with its nukes under the US control and its people surviving eating dead rats. Inshalla.

Turly that was addressed to you specifically.

Demystifying Slumdog Isn’t Bollywood built all around providing fantasy to a nation of a billion strong? If you can put up with women singing and dancing in the rain, guys sliding on their butts on ski slopes, people singing and dancing atop a moving train, and a bunch of desis beating the English in cricket wearing lungis with their home-made bats, then why is it so hard to accept a different yet similar entertaining and somewhat fantastical story?

Demystifying Slumdog Stuka Sahib, is there is a law in India against talking with confidence to cops ?

Demystifying Slumdog Nkg, It’s a movie for crying out loud, no one is going to think of India any differently after watching the Slumdog compared to what they thought of India before watching it. The Jerry Springer show is shown in 140 countries and I don’t believe that people base their impression of America after watching Jerry Springer, however true the cases discussed on that show might be. Pakistanis made a big deal about the foreign media coverage of the gang rape of Mukhtaran Mai, as if the rape did not occur.

Demystifying Slumdog Why is it so hard for desi people to say either they liked the movie or they didn’t like the movie? All these garddam articles over a film. If it had not won so many Oscars same people will complain, oh, because it was Indian and it portrayed Indian poverty… damned if I do, and damned if I don’t. All these critics have probably never seen a bombay slum as upclose as Danny Boyle showed them, and it is not their criticism of the movie, but of themselves.

Lahore Terror Attack Targeting Sri Lankan Team: Who is behind it? NKG, I thought that it was settled that Islam was all about Politics? Was it not?
