here's another one of farzana's type...putting the interests of the ummah above the interests of his own country(and may I add, the interests of indian muslims who can only benefit from a deal that benefits india)..

just like the commie scum who are more loyal to their masters in beijing...

worshipers of mo and worshipers of mao..peas in a pod..

Samajwadi MP says 7 will vote against UPA

A Ganesh Nadar | July 09, 2008 19:38 IST

Munawwar Hasan, the Samajwadi Party member of Parliament from Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh is among those from his party who refuse to toe the party line on backing the United Progressive Alliance government on the Indo-US nuclear deal.

Hasan is clear that he will vote against the government, and refuses to change his view even at the cost of losing his party membership.

He has chosen to oppose the party line and vote against the Government, and says he is not going to change his view even at the cost of loosing his party membership.

He told rediff.com, "I am opposing the nuclear deal with the Americans. America is against the interests of Muslims. Muslims hate Americans. If this deal goes through, then Americans will make a lot of money.

"They will use the money to make bombs and then bomb Muslims with it. We are not going to let that happen. We are against the Americans. We are not interested in the power part of the deal, we are opposing the fact that it's a deal with the United States."

She is as protective of her Muslim identity in India


She's puts her islamic identity over her indian identity(to the extent she has an indian identity)...it's clear where her sympathies lie..even in a situation where Pakistan, a foreign power(to most indians, not farzana) is sending jihadis to kill her "fellow indian citizens", her sympathies lie with the jihadis...because the jihadis are muslims...

Pakistan was created for people whose heart beats for islam over everything else...which is why she should just drop all pretenses and move there already..

right..she only "feels the pain" of muslims...and that too only when they are in conflict with a non-muslim other...how many times has she mentioned the fact that not a single person from her beloved pakiland has been prosecuted for the killing of hundreds of thousands of bangladeshis?

so..like I said..she's an NRI..a not really indian...living in india...if it wasn't for her love of jeans and other personal freedom, she's be a ninja chick..would fit right in with them..

farzana should just drop all pretenses and join her heart..in pakiland..

before someone pulls a "queer eye for jihadi apologist girl" make over trick, here's another one of FV's pre 9/11 articles..

The Soft Option
Farzana Versey December 3, 2000

As regards Kashmir, how can we say that Pakistan is misrepresenting the term ‘jehad’ for the militancy there, when we are operating at the same level, only with more deftness? To therefore make a poor state into a pawn is a cheap way of getting public sympathy and shows no evidence of statesmanship. If our neighbour is fighting a proxy war and its aim is “bleeding India through a thousand cuts�, then whose responsibility is it to not let the blood congeal?

Now before the usual suspects jump in...

Khuda Hafiz, Kashmir?


Which is why I support the move for its autonomy. We have no business to claim a ‘disputed’ territory as our own.
And, yes, khuda hafiz, Kashmir. You were never mine.

First of all..the title is misleading..FV is hardly indian...she's pakistani at heart...an NRI if you will..Not Really Indian..she merely resides in india because doing so affords certain freedoms that wouldn't be available in the land of the pure...tea at the sea lounge being just one...


looked at with suspicion and treated with a certain degree
of caution


Murtaza..have you read Farzana's writing on chowk? When she's not being an apologist for the kashmiri "jihadis" and telling us the kashmiri hindus left on their own, she's busy being an apologist for the taliban...she told us the taliban blowing up the buddhas


being anti-Indian is an important part of Pakistani identity. And Kashmir fits perfectly in that quest for a national narrative


Have you read farzana's writings on kashmir..her articles on chowk...you'd never guess she was indian...

Pakistan is not a signatory to NPT and is free to exchange any weapons technology with any country.



so why is AQK rotting in house arrest?
Muslim Ghettoisation

The Qur'an explicitly says that men are the protectors and providers of women! No other system gives women the rights Islam gives.


That explains why muslims women are doing so much better than women of any other religion...

I always wondered about the large number of muslims women who were business leaders or accomplished in other ways...

actually muslims/pakistanis were progressing by leaps and bounds in every field in the UK before this war on terror


I didn't realize bradford and beeston were being bombed in the war on terrorism..

regardless, your claim of progress is BS...I'm sure you'll be able to find the income/education/unemployment numbers pre- 9/11..

and let's not forget...brit-pakis were active in jihad - the jihad in kashmir - way before 9/11..

so brit-pakis, who have opportunities the vast majority of muslims can only dream of, become terrorists because have a "sense of injustice"..

saudis, who have access to more opportunities than indians, become terrorists because have a "sense of injustice"..

what's next: nazis did what they did because they had a "sense of injustice"?

“Between 1951 and 2000


hello..the holocaust happened before 1951..but i'm sure you knew that...

look..you brit-pakis can whine about persecution all you want..the fact is that you all are way behind other non-majority groups..and it's your own damn fault..

Good..we've made some progress...we've moved on from the injustices are the prime motivator to religious indoctrination is the prime motivation..
