Terrorism is Nobody's Monopoly

Re: # 413 by rahul_capri

Rahul:

Your suggestion is good. Will do it one of these days when I have time. Thanks.

One can not but agree with the authors view about terrorism. In fact terrorism has no religion in particular and it is such a monster that it can not be defeated unless there is a joint effort from like minded people.

[Civilizations, in Zeemax`s apt words, are indeed oceans...]

No. Zee_micromini is saying that ONLY Islam is an ocean.

[Yes, Krishna`s message rings true even today, but war and violence are dirty words in most civilizations. ]

The Bhagavat Gita is ONE of the many bodies of philosophical work in Hindu thought. It does NOT define Hindu civilization, just Like Advaita does not either. And the Gita`s justification of war is very different than the pedophile followers` version.

[Do give Zee`s # 430 some thought. ]

Okay, let`s see....

Islam is an Ocean. One can either stay at the shores, or delve deep into it as I`ve done at great peril. And then it is mind boggling. But standing at the shores is equally powerful. And that`s what`s amazing about Islam. That is how I came to be convinced that this thing is a real biggie.]

Yes, a puddle looks like an ocean to an ant. Even cut-and paste jobs like Islam seem profound to boneheaded idiots.

-A@#$di writes


When the entire Soviet Bloc threw away the concept of the ``Labour Theory of Value`` after shouting ``Capitalistic-Exploitation`` for 80 years we find the neo-Islamists reviving and mis-appropriating this concept for their purposes of incitement of the ummah.
I can only find hope when states like Pakistan stop funding and supporting these Islamists and when they start realizing that theocratics states built on the foundations of religious beliefs and books are perverse and un-viable. Only then would thse persons stop killing themselves and others for trying to achieve the illusory.

p.s- it is surprising that Asadi`s post which I had quoted contained the word ``cocKK`` which was allowed for posting despite the chowk filter.!! Does Asadi have some extra priviledges on the chowk?

Civilizations, in Zeemax`s apt words, are indeed oceans, each containing numerous ratnas and much sludge. Differences among them revolve around numbers and frequencies of different findings, their contexts and emphases. Yes, Krishna`s message rings true even today, but war and violence are dirty words in most civilizations. Do give Zee`s # 430 some thought.

#431 mohar11 there is the concept of jajia - the kafir are paying true momim this....you an Indian of all people should understandthis....your forefathers payed up for generations...

Holding a job in a kafir system is kufr. But fleecing them is halal!

Re: # 430
[...That is how I came to be convinced that this thing is a real biggie...]

Good... so why are you still living in kafir land under kafir laws, paying taxes to kafir govt who in turn daisy cuts your friends all over the place?... you said ``bedouinism is a ocean`` - well, go live in it... I mean - what`s the hold up?...

Kaal,

the American civilization, the Indian Civilization, and the Islamic Civilization. .....The first two don`t even understand that there is no inherent value in peace.

Kaal, I will try not to go into the philosophical aspects of this. I will only say that yes, you`re right. For a Muslim, Peace is to die in battle. For the former two, Peace is no battle. So where do these two concepts merge? Peace means something else to the former two that you mention, and quite another to the latter.

Islam is an Ocean. One can either stay at the shores, or delve deep into it as I`ve done at great peril. And then it is mind boggling. But standing at the shores is equally powerful. And that`s what`s amazing about Islam. That is how I came to be convinced that this thing is a real biggie.

Re: # 428 by kaalchakra:

kaal:

``The first two don`t even understand that there is no inherent value in peace.``

I thought Krishna made it clear to Arjun that there is no inherent value in peace.

In any case, the inherent value of peace is well understood by all civilizations and therein lies the problem ... peace in one`s own term. The clash of civilizations is just a quest for that. It is always the war to end all wars. One has to be realistic, as people actually are, and understand that there is no end to this. The question is: Given a war, whether or not one should participate in it and if so then how?

Zeemax

You would probably not agree with this view, but IMO, there are now only three major sources of ideas about human living - the American civilization, the Indian Civilization, and the Islamic Civilization. Of these three, the last is the most globally potent and the most internally coherent force against which the first two are like children standing before an adult.

The first two don`t even understand that there is no inherent value in peace.

Meaning thereby, neither the Pope nor the Byzantine he quoted knew their ass from their elbow about what Islam really is. It is an esoteric concept with unparalleled and immense power from the elite down till the very grass roots. It has to be engaged, not confronted. Only then there`ll be peace.

#425 by kaalchakra

Yes Kaalchakra. My friend. In Islam, there`s no evil. There`s only God.

re: Zeemax # 362

To the best of my knowledge, your thoughts on the logic of Islam and Christianity are entirely accurate.

The gora lickers who are showing their contempt over performance of ablutions and prayers by Muslims in social occasions, of-course do not know, nor care to know, that these Muslims perform the same ablutions and prayers right in the midle of battle as well.

#422, <<< it`s difficult for modern economy to function with this prayer thing. >>>

A fifteen minute prayer break wont bring the ``modern economy`` to a standstill, this kind of though belongs to the ``old`` economy of the Victorian era where the worker is like a cog in the machine that is to be ground to the bone. The schedule was invented long time ago, and a prayer break can be easily accomodated in there without any lost production, and workers aren`t slaves to the factories anymore except to morons like hamidm who make a living off of selling cock and bull tales of productivity as they fleece both the workers and the corporations that employ them.
