Re: # 54

786 translates into BISMILLAH or I start everything in the name of Allah.

The following report is sad but it happens with such a regularity year after year that many people don`t take much notice of it. It has become a routine thing. Why can`t we coexist peacefully? Ironically, Islam zindah hota haiy har karbala kay ba`ad.

Suicide Blast, Clashes in Pakistan Kill 22 By RIAZ KHAN, Associated Press Writer
5 minutes ago



A suicide bombing ripped through a Shiite procession Thursday in northwestern Pakistan, sparking riots during the Muslim sect`s most important holiday. At least 22 people were killed and dozens injured, officials said.

The bomb targeted hundreds of people in a bazaar soon after they emerged from the main Shiite mosque in the town of Hangu, district police chief Ayub Khan said.

The Shiites responded by burning shops and cars while clashing with police in the town, located about 125 miles southwest of the capital, Islamabad, Khan said. Army troops moved in to restore order and a curfew was imposed, he said.

Ghani ur-Rehman, the top district administrator, said 22 people were reported killed and more than 50 wounded. He said more than 60 percent of the town bazaar had burned in the violence that following the bombing.

But, this is not even controversial article. This article has got nothing to do with Islam. This article is just a waste of time and energy.

Re: # 57, urstruly:
How much of the Karbala Battle was on principles and how much on the desire to inherit the mantle of leadership hence its benefit.
By the way thanks for providing nice language after so much chaff.

Qatl-e-Hussain asl maiN marg-e-Yazeed hay
Islam zinda hota hay har Karbala ke baad.


My tribute (in the words of Iqbal) to first Muslim, Imam Hussain (ra) who fell martyr to the state fascism. Though his martyrdom he set the bar for us to dissent against corrupt, torturous, coward, and lawless regimes.

Re: # 30, Freethinker in response to masadi #29:
I can sympathize with you. Masadi is a clever propagandist and has done exactly what he has charged you with. I wish Mullahs were like you, Gill!! Islam would not be in the terrible mess that it is in. Taking just the example of Mutah and what not, it seems none of the Muslim countries - Iran and saudi Arabia included - is Islamic in this regard. Any book, Quran, included are a hundred percent relevant at the time and meliu it is written in, if even then. All religious books originated in a desire to clamp an artificial behavior code when the education and printing were severely limited and the clever exploiters - call them Kings, Mullahs, or the Devoteds - modified the mystic-writer`s thoughts to serve themselves.

Humanity aches for real religion which FREES the masses of kowtowing to the Kings, Mullahs and the Devoteds.

Mr. Gill, PLEASE BE FAIR, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SHIA AND SUNNI PEOPLES’ PRACTICES, NOT ISLAM!

You mean the only correct Muslims are, gasp, the Qadianis?!!!

Dear Mr Gill

Mutah may be another name for faith sanctioned prostitution. In Iran I don`t know what they call it you can have marriage for the duration of few hours. So you can screw under the cover of Islam and with the blessing Mulahs ( they can also do it).

God bless them all.
