Allama Iqbal- Is he still relevant?
``...you seem to have a latent desire to see India & Pak reunite...``
Quite the opposite. Don`t know how you concluded that I harbored such blasphemous thoughts! Nothing would delight me more than to see them wither on the vine!

``..What makes you think that Pakistan will not be a secular country.........like India..``
60 years of history (and 15 years of Pakistan prior to that) staring you at your face (with Bangladesh formation thrown in to boot!). Can you ignore that deliberate edifice of ignorance? I`ll put it another way as well: How much of your own money will you put on that happening in the next 5 years, given that it has not happened in the previous 60? If you give an answer more than USD 1000, contact me -- I will be happy to bet against you and we can get down to business

Carl Friedrich Gauss
1.There are 114 chapters in the Quran, or 19 x 6.
2.The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or 19 x 334.
3.Then you add the 30 different numbers which are mentioned in the Quran`s text (i.e. one God, two brothers, etc.), the total is 162146 or 19 x 8534.
4.The first statement in Quran, ``In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful`` consists of 19 Arabic letters. Known as the `Basmalah`, it prefaces every chapter except Chapter 9.
5.Though missing from Chapter 9, exactly 19 chapters later the Basmalah occurs twice. Chapter 27 has this statement at its beginning and in verse 30. This makes the total number of times the Basmalah occurs in the Quran 114, or 19 x 6.
and on it goes. I mean, is god trying to teach us a lesson, or what? I mean, this is unbelievably miraculous. I am humbled, and in awe.
Gauss, Newton, Euler, and all the other crazies whose theorems that I had to study in school are village idiots compared to the above profound findings.

I just stumbled upon this magnificent work of mathematical genius that Gauss and his other German henchmen would be rightly proud of. For example, (and this is the part that blew me away):1.There are 114 chapters in the Quran, or 19 x 6.
2.The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or 19 x 334.
3.Then you add the 30 different numbers which are mentioned in the Quran`s text (i.e. one God, two brothers, etc.), the total is 162146 or 19 x 8534.
4.The first statement in Quran, ``In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful`` consists of 19 Arabic letters. Known as the `Basmalah`, it prefaces every chapter except Chapter 9.

It actually gets better than Cabinet minister Haq`s statement. The lower house National Assembly and the assemblies of Punjab NWFP, and Sindh provinces denounced the knighthood Monday, while the Foreign Ministry vowed to formally convey the sentiments of Pakistanis to the British government. “This house strongly condemns the decision to confer the title of Sir on Salman Rushdie, who is hated in the Muslim world for his blasphemous book The Satanic Verses,” the NWFP resolution said. Pakistan`s foreign ministry has joined in with a spokesman saying, `Salman Rushdie has tried to insult and malign Muslims,`` regarding ``the insensitive decision``. I now fully understand what champion Paki alpha male Tahmed means when he calls me a `Pakistan-hater`. You see simple assertions evoke the wildest of reactions from Cabinet ministers down to Chowk posters.

Paki Cabinet minister mesmerises the world with his deep understanding of root cause analysis. He also explains why homicide bombings are acceptable. Fully grown, champion Paki muslim males like Tahmed (#74), on the other hand, believes that this is a passing fever of `political instability`, not a symptom of a larger and more serious, deadly disease called `moralcompassmisalignitis`.
Speaking about Sir Salman Rushdie, Pakistani Cabinet Minister Mr. Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq said, `If someone exploded a bomb on his body, he would be right to do so unless the British government apologizes and withdraws the `sir` title``.
He was joined by the Islamic Republic of Iran in offering a similar condemnation.

I also realized that in your `discussion` with HP, I am irrelevant. However, you chose to pay me some compliments to burnish your Paki credentials and `improve` your credibility with HP and others by making personal attacks (no, observations!), but ignoring the substance of the Failed States Index research. You also sidestepped HP`s assertions. And you still get hernia by reading my nick! I find that immensely satisfying!

US Assistant of State Secretary Richard Boucher, while addressing a meeting of leaders of Pakistan opposition parties — besides making other statements concerning Pakistan’s internal affairs — also stated that he would examine the voters’ lists issued by Election Commission.
The question arises why he is examining these lists. Can he, being a foreign national, order any changes in the lists?

Hi there, friends. Here is an interesting tid-bit that I had never heard of before. From The Dawn:US Assistant of State Secretary Richard Boucher, while addressing a meeting of leaders of Pakistan opposition parties — besides making other statements concerning Pakistan’s internal affairs — also stated that he would examine the voters’ lists issued by Election Commission.
The question arises why he is examining these lists. Can he, being a foreign national, order any changes in the lists?

You guys just missed making the Top 10 of the 2007 Failed States Index by the thickness of the hair on your beards. You ranked 12, outclassing Sudan, Zimbabwe and Chad, but bested by North Korea, Bangladesh (rank 16) and Myanmar! A few more years of El Presidente Musharraf may take you over the top (if you know what I mean!)
India was ranked 110.
