Pataudi’s Plight : The game of religious stereo typing

Re: # 34

Oops ...posted in wrong place. Sorry. My profuse apologies to everybody.

Re: # 31

Quran says ``Those who are `killed` in the way of Allah Should not be called dead``. Why then a Muslim who kills himself in a `jehadi` mission leading to `Shahadat` (martyrdom) be called `khud kush` when he is not dying but going straight to heaven for a life of eternal bliss.

Re: # 26
I feel very frustrated in crowded public transport as well, how come no one cares about me?

Ref # 29

Sure some of them have a clear view of what they want to achieve through all of this ..but that does not necessarily make it right...where in Islam does it say that take your own life..in fact taking one`s own life is one of the biggest sins...so sure some of these people have a goal while others are frustrated with life and can only resort to such ways...

You said they are following the instructions of the Quran...can you tell me whether exactly in the Quran these instructions are?

Error regretted.

``Marne waale pih Saif heirat kio`n
Mout aasan ho gayi ho gi``

One has a right to end one`s life, of course, but the killing of innocent people cannot be without a mission, a selfish and cruel mission indeed.

[...try and understand how frustrated some of these people are...]

The suicide bombers are NOT some one-off ``frustrated`` people as you suggest.... they are dedicated, serious people, they have a ``vision`` and they have missions... many of them are educated and experts in what they do...

They are doing this for allah and his prophet Mo, pubh... they are following the instructions in the koran and they know exactly what they are doing... and of course, there is the added incentive of 72 houris and 65 gilmans... :)

Pataudi the apple of my eyes -- Pataudi is a modern Muslim in its purest form despite being an ex `nawab` -- that every truly Indian Muslim should be proud of -- and emulate in India.

the mangy hirsute Chihuahuas of Neanderthal Islam can bark their yelping throat till they choke off and hopefully die -- at the majestic elephant -- the walking role model for the modern Muslims in India.

may be -- its time for the Indian Humane Society for the stray dogs to catch these crummy canines and put them to sleep without pain.

This is MY fatwa...

Shah-en-Shah Jalaluddin Mohammed Akbar ``gave`` a Muslim bride to the famous musician and vocalist Tan Sen.

If I`m not mistaken, Tan Sen embraced Islam..whether it was before Akbar gave him a Muslim bride or after, I don`t know and am too lazy to google it out on a Monday morning :-)

Hmm...have you ever tried to understand why these people are wearing suicide belts and wading into crowded buses and trains....who wants to do such a thing? have you ever thought how frustrated these people are ? how hopeless they feel about their life and their circumstances? Sure I do agree that some of them are brain-washed but not all of them...before you go around being so judgemental about people maybe you should take the time out and try and understand their rational..it might not be right to us but it sure as hell is to them....try and understand how frustrated some of these people are, that they have given up hope and resort to such methods...

Re: # 21
What power did women have in India 400 years ago, that you can even ask the question?Of course she had no choice in it, she married him because she was told she had to. I agree she could have done much worse than Akbar!

[....whether u wear a turban, have a beard, wear a cross or recite surya namaskar....how does it matter to another individual.....aren`t we all trying to do the same thing here...]

Nope, we aren`t ALL trying to do the same thing here.

Some people here are wearing suicide belts and wading into crowded buses and trains. They can be easily identified if you force them to drop their pants.

The world today has became a very sad place...where we judge people based on their belief system...India and Pakistan were created for religious freedom...but whatever happened to that? Neither India nor Pakistan can truly claim that there is no religious oppression in their countries...why has the world become such a sad place to be in....whether u wear a turban, have a beard, wear a cross or recite surya namaskar....how does it matter to another individual.....aren`t we all trying to do the same thing here...trying to be good human beings and believing in that power we call God...so why does the path we choose matter so much ?

Salm Chauhan

``No one, except the Islamic Republic of Pakiland, has the legitimate authority to determine who is and who is not a Muslim.``

Very well-said! In fact the Pakiland has given birth to a new variety of Muslims, the `Halfi-Muslms`. The Halfi Muslim is the one who submits a `Halaf Nama` declaring certain fellow-citizens of his as non-Muslims and abusing the founder of a sect who belonged to India, even if they have never heard about him before. I wonder who is authorized to accept or reject such HALF-nama, since all Pakies can claim to be Halfi Muslims only.
