Being Imrana Also Romair , we dont need to be told what the consequences would be if we expressed our honest opinion about your religion in your homeland. Hell Daniel Pearl said nothing derogative about your pedophile prophet (P be upon him) , but still got cut into 2 parts because he was born a jew. A couple of British citizens of Pakistani origin go to Pakistan for a visit , and come back as suicide bombers....

Being Imrana Romair . Dunno if you have noticed , but we live in a post 9-11 world . So what do Americans think of muslims ? What do the Europeans think of muslims ? What do the Brits now think of muslims ?

And why ?

Project Mumbai Makeover: Casualties of Development Khamkhwa...India is a country of 1.1 billion people...if even a `minority` or 10% of the population is seen to be well-to-do ...thats 110 million...quite a number...

Being Imrana This is very important..those adult male witnesses must be pious muslims by the way...kafeers dont count...

Being Imrana Guys..this is to clear the confusion....Zafar Al Talib and Zafar Anjum are different persons...Zafar Al Talib is a truly decent guy from Sydney while Zafar Anjum is currently baswed in Singapore and is of the opinion that ``A raped woman not able to produce 4 adult male witnesses to her rape is deemed to have had encouraged, or tempted, or otherwise facilitated her own rape.....

Project Mumbai Makeover: Casualties of Development ``What about the poor ? ``

Everybody takes care of himself or herself. Rich , poor , whatever. The `poor` can f#ck itself as far as I am concerned. Anybody shedding crocodile tears , talking about doing this and that for somebody is a total hypocrite. As long as I am not `poor` , I`m happy. Those who think its okay for the `poor` to encroach upon public property or properties of `rich` people , should first give away for free their houses, jewellery and vehicles to the `poor`.

Project Mumbai Makeover: Casualties of Development ``Commie bashing is very easy. It is also an old game. I myself have indulged in it often on this very site. But it has been 15 years since India rejected socialism and accepted free market. Isn`t it about time we stopped using socialists and communists as scapegoats? ``

India has only rejected the extreme version of socialism. India is still pretty much a socialist state with a closed economy which is by and large controlled by the polity and the bureaucracy.. Majority of the people of India will continue to be impoverished in varius degrees as long as this is the case.

Being Imrana I still cannot get over this gem made by the writer .. no doubt a moderate enlightented educated progressive secular muslim...

``Islam takes a very serious view of rape. It penalizes the rapist even with death, depending on the circumstances. The raped woman is a victim and cannot be punished, unless it is proven that she had encouraged, or tempted, or otherwise facilitated her own rape.

And if the woman is unable to produce 4 muslim adult male witnesses to the rape , she will be deemed to have had encouraged, or tempted, or otherwise facilitated her own rape..

Marvellous !!

Project Mumbai Makeover: Casualties of Development Its very difficult to argue with these leftist fools. They are absolutely blind to reason , facts or logic.

Project Mumbai Makeover: Casualties of Development Kunal...do you have comprehension problem ? Read my post again.


``The founding fathers of the Indian constitution made `secularism` and `democracy` the fundamental pillars of our nationhood. Nowhere did they mention `socialism`. It was only Indira Gandhi , who during her bouts of crazy nationalisation , added the term `socialism` , making an amendment to the contitution.... ``

`Socialism` was never given a mention when Ambedkar and Co. wrote the constitution. It was Indira Gandhi who added `socialism` as an amendment to the constitution in the 1970s.

Being Imrana Lets not forget...Islam is a religion of peace...

Being Imrana *yawn*

Project Mumbai Makeover: Casualties of Development “secular, socialist, democratic republic!``

The founding fathers of the Indian constitution made `secularism` and `democracy` the fundamental pillars of our nationhood. Nowhere did they mention `socialism`. It was only Indira Gandhi , who during her bouts of crazy nationalisation , added the term `socialism` , making an amendment to the contitution....

Nothing has done more damage to India than the adherence to the destructive principle of socialism. Progess stalted , people living in perpetual poverty , a largely backward agrarian economy , widespread corruption , loss making goverment controlled industries....all because of socialism. If India is a largely rotten country , its because of socialism.

So what Indians should demand is the repeal of the term `socialist` republic from the constitution.

Pmishra : `` Hi Zafar,

Nice to see you back on this forum. I follow your posts on sulekha with interest. Boy, are there a lot of nuts there ``

The person you are referring to is Zafar Al Talib from Sydnet . This one is different.

Being Imrana Actually this statement by the writer Mian Anjum Saheb is a masterpiece >>

``Islam takes a very serious view of rape. It penalizes the rapist even with death, depending on the circumstances. The raped woman is a victim and cannot be punished, unless it is proven that she had encouraged, or tempted, or otherwise facilitated her own rape.``

That is very true. Islam, as we all know , is a religion of peace. Islam treats women very well. Infact women enjoy more rights in Islam than in any other religion. Islam objects to rape . Islam particularly hates rapists. So all the raped muslim woman has to do is to produce 4 adult muslim witnesses to her rape and without further ado , as per The Holy Quran and The Holy Shariah , her rapist is stoned to death.

If the muslim woman is not able to produce 4 adult muslim witnesses to her rape , she will be deemed to have , as the writer so eloquently put it , ``encouraged , or tempted , or facilitated her own rape`` ....and stoned to death instead.
