Madni

I am quite aware of Viking history of Scandanavia; but we are talking about the welfare states that they have now and how they established them. The fact of the matter is that, as long as they were barbarians of the north neither they got rich nor they were able to establish welfare states. They were only able to do that when they started mining their precious metals and became civilized traders.

Similarly, in Afghanistan when there was lawlessness and war but drug and weapons trade was on top, no one got rich except a few drug lords. The peace only came when law and justice was enforced by Talibans. The true indicator of that is the reduction of Afghan refugees to half the number that during the war years i.e. from about 3.8 million down to 1.8 millions. In those days a Pakistani truck carrying goods could travel from Landi Kotal to Mizar Shareef unhindered.

Imagine that, if Americans were wise enough and didn`t push Taliban against the wall, they could have a well protected oil pipeline from central Asia down to Arabian sea - a dream that Russians have dreamt for centuries. All the precious metals that Western mining firms are extracting from Central Asian states today like there is no tomorrow could have a safe and short passage to the rest of the world. The whole region would have been peaceful and prosperous and everyone from Westerners, Americans and indegenous people would have benefited from the resources of the region. But with their blindening hatered West has pushed this region into chaos for the next 4-5 decades at least and Afganistan is proving itself to be the graveyard of the empires once again.

The point is, that if war had not happened, and all development projects would have gone forward sans American stupidity, Taliban would have created another enviable Muslim Welfare state in the region - which they partially did even when they did not have anything.

Tahmed sahib,

Ahmed does have a point as have you. Any race which has got the opportunities and means has tried to indulge in some form of imperialism.

Regards

mr. madani: what saying you of northern barbarian peoples part of truth is, but not is the whole truth, excuse me to contradict you my dear sir.

truth you is telling when you writing that northern barbarian viking people plundering and forcing poor local women to saying: ``Why King, Viking??``. but truth also that viking people (frisian, and later danes in 5th century AD) settling in UK. much of english is viking words (e.g. sky, skill, and in fact all `sk` words in english). and english is now world language now, sir, as you know very well indeed. so northern barbarian give birth to world language, sir. chinaman spea englee. indian babu speaking very very much in english and making it hinglish. ze france people very unhappy, but say ``au revoir`` to francais and speaking in engleesh. all people speaking viking language, sir. and so please viking people barbarian?? no.

king charles invade russia, you tell truth. but arab people invade africa and india and europe. so, is arab people barbarian sir?? i beg to say ``not!!`` to this question sir.

also, finn support hitler because they thinking sir that hitler less evil than stalin. ha! ha! but finnish people very nice people sir. not nazis. sometimes nice people make mistake and support wrong side.

i hope you agreement with me, mr. madani.

Re: # 420

Really these Northern Barbarians were too uncivilised at that time to colonise. Colonise means tohave means of production in their control and there is wealth genration which is needed to colonise were both lacking) Can afghans colonise Pakistan too difficult for uncivilesed Afghan society, are they Barbaric, yes they are.

Ahmed Madani sahib,

(Please excuse for my spelling and english and grammer, english refinement is in process all time. )

Don`t worry. It would seem that like me, you too haven`t had the benefit of getting educated from Ivy League colleges like LUMS, NUST etc.

Regards

Re: # 398

``Thank you for mentioning Saudi Arabia, which is very close to what a Muslim welfare state should be. The only caveate here is their economic system i.e. 95% of their GDP is based on oil but so was once that of Scandanevian states who emerged as the top resources for the metal and other mined commodities in 17th, 18th, and 19th century. As a matter of fact the 90% of the post renaissance industrial revolution needs for metals was fulfilled by the Scandanevian countries and that is how they established their welfare states.

``Please keep in mind that no Scandanevian country has ever colonized a foreign land. ``

Dear Mr. Yours truely......The last statement is not factually not right. The scandanevians have been barbabarins of norths. Northern people deviod of suffient sun and wealth were famous as plunders riding on seas as sea devils. They use to annually raid norther Europe specially english islands and they use to plunder and kill people and loot and load stuff on ships and go back.Vickings as they call use to go on annual plunder in their ships. England/scotland people faught and finally after centuries raids were stopped.
King Charles of Sweadon was well know as Warrior king and absorbimg terrotaries. Peter the great Czar of Russia took inspiration from King Charles of Sweedon it is said.
In second war finland and Sweedon played worst tricks. Sweedon sold enormous arms to germans as their steel plants and cannon and gun factories were bumming all around providing arms to German armies. They sold at same time some equipment to AngloAmericans. Finland had full sympathy for nazies and allied with german armies against russia before full fledge german tank drive against Russia started. After they got peace treaty with S.Union they indirectly aided Nazies in encirclement of Leningrad by providing help to Germans. Then they sought treat with russia out of fear when reversal eventually came after defeat of german armies in north in breaking of sieze of leningrad, defeat at central front at Moscow and and in south at stalingrad. Fins were in difficult situation but later able get treat giving them peace. But to make such statement is right in broad contest.
Good afternoon.
Please excuse for my spelling and english and grammer, english refinement is in process all time.

Maulana Urstruly (pbuh),

(The Talibans were the myth breakers. They proved that a just welfare state is also possible when you have nothing in your hand. )

I am sure you would want a Talib state in Pakistan. Rest assured you are not alone. All the Hanuds on chowk would wish you Godspeed.

Regards

[Kahan thain aap? Humain tau aap ki layhni thee. ]


behram-baba,

What`s the point doing ``layhni thee`` on Chowk. If you have to do something, join your jehadi brothers and cross the border into Hindoo land. Hindoo jawans are waiting shoot you on the spot like a dog. :)))

And pretty soon, if the American authorities find out that you are a jehadi supporter, while begging for and living on the scraps of charity that the good white people throw your way, you would be on your way back to your Pakiland in no time. :)

So cool down, beta. Go clean some septic tanks.

:))

By the way, did you hear about the Indo-US Nuclear deal?

Very unfair, no?

:)

[God, people like this Dost Mitter dude make my stomach turn.

It appears that he was appaled at Behram for what he was saying about Hindoos(sic) and Hindooland(sic). However, he held back his comments all this time so that he could find something to ``balance`` it against -- you know the good old zero sum game. ]

CoolAL,

I wanted to make this post before, but didn`t have time.

When I read your post, my first reaction was, oh, so I`m not the nly one that noticed this. All these months, while behram-baba has been foulmouthing Indians, he had nothing to say. But the moment behram-PE gets cornered by the Hindus, his Moosla-unity bug bites him in the a$$, and he is compelled to give a 50-50 portrayal of the whole thing.

The thing with recent converts (especially recent Muslim converts) is that they are the most virulent of all. This is because they have something to prove to themselves. That they did not make a mistake. They also feel that they have lost something, but know that it is forever out of their reach (for fear of being beheaded by Urstruly-kind of Muslims who do not try to change the Koran to make it more respectable).

So they take out their latent rage on the Hindus - the community they cannot be a part of anymore. And this becomes more outwardly visible as time goes on.

The inevitable end-result of thinking with your penis and ``converting````.

Where does it say in your cut and paste that Taliban ran a drug-free welfare state where Afghans were happy and well fed as Urstruly claims? Where does your article contradict my assertion that Taliban said they were not responsible for the Afghan population because Allah would provide?

Sadna,

Dont u think that Hizra Paaki is giving his lefthanded compliments to the ISI-run Taliban+AQ`s war in Afghanistan?


+++++++++

Indians,

BeHaram is a true Neuter and a true BeSharam coz he has stomach to give his posts again after his shining nangaa bum was shown to the Chowkies.

Effonjee need to be told of this:

India is a Hindu majority country but not a Hindu country. India is a multi-cultural, mutli-religious, multi-lingual nation. His education in Pakistan had done a great damage to his cognitive abilities. May be he too had copious amounts of sewerage treated paalak eaten in his childhood as it was the custom in Pakistan. The remnants are refusing to go away till his body is eaten by vultures (as per Parsi faith system).

Urstruly#391:

I do not know about the Omar inspiration for Scandinavian countries; other than that I am in general agreement with your post. Indian education system does not lay any emphasis on character building. Gone are the days in your parents` and even my time when teachers regardless of their religious identities believed imparting education to be their ``dharma``. How can today`s teachers build character when they themselves seek ``oopar ki aamdani`` by agressively pursuing parents to send their children to their after-school coaching class to learn what they are supposed to teach the students during school time?

As for Saudi Arabia, I cannot agree with you. Yes, they have created a welfare state but only for a fraction of their population. The welfare benefits are denied to those - mostly Muslims and even Arabs - who are not citizens of Saudi Arabia. As you know, that citizenship is extremely hard to get.
