rattlesnakes of all creeds and colours should only play with each other and leave the 90% non venomous bunnies alone...i.e you and other rabid types from all over should just enjoy your snake dance with each other.

this is heartbreaking ...in arjuns mind pakistani's are so unfair and unbalanced ...you know an angel dies everytime a completely unbiased pakistani hater like arjun says he doesnt belive in paki liberals :( are there any angels left in heaven i wonder?

laddu jee i am clifton sahiba and i am glad you know enough indian muslims to give you a sensible view on them. Maybe one day you will know enough paki's too.

And assuming for the sake of argument that the Pakistan government did that in the past (which is quite likely) and still does so (less likely)


HAHA..

kuldip nayyar clones: see how paki "liberals" dance around their government's role in the support of islamic terrorism...

told you so...only pakis that don't support or condone terrorism are pushing daisies...

correction to #506: That should be my post #456, not #435, that you should check.

While you are at it, and read what I wrote in bold at the end of that post to understand why the "fasaadee tatoos" on both the Indian and Pakistan side are the worst enemies of the people they claim to represent.

#498 arjun: I see you didnt get the joke about your playing your Grand Inquisitor role at Guantanamo where both guards and inmates could have a good laugh, and repeated your dumb questions.

Here is the response, genius: What makes you think I know the answers any better than you or any other individual other than Musharraf and his key staff? Should I expect you to be aware of RAW's activities in Pakistan?

And assuming for the sake of argument that the Pakistan government did that in the past (which is quite likely) and still does so (less likely). So what? Are you so stupid as to think that I call for peace with India in order to impress a bunch of strangers on chowk that I am a peace-loving man, you idiot? Read my post #435, and tell me if there is one thing that I wrote that is contradicted by the dumb questions you have been posing from your high and mighty perch as Grand Inquisitor?

Like I said, fasaadee tatoos (muslim as well as hindus) like you are the worst enemies of the very people they claim to represent!!

jang: er...um..the bamiyan buddha is in afghanistan. How can you make such dumb mistakes and claim to be a "perfidious hindu" at the same time? If old man Chanyaka were still around, he would have you go to the corner and become a murgha!!

#500 borivli fast local (there is no such a thing as an authentic borivli express)

yeh..you tell tahmed. its his duty to carry out jihad and not using perfidious hindu technique a la krishna, but honest paki method..dont hide, be open and conduct it. paki public is (aparently) fully behind you (to get justice for kashmiri brothers who are under hindu occupation) so why worry? all you got is some hindu liberals, get them some free cabs and maybe we can install bamiyan buddha back again.

Re: # 476

clinton saheb,

Indian muslims I know of have mostly got over the incredible phobia of idolators and idolatory that is pontified and drilled into common muslim's psyche by mullahs.
That is only because they have develped a sensibility that makes them appreciate living in a multi cultural and religious society.

Indian muslims are certainly impure by Arabic standards- ask any mullah from Arab or go and see how they are treated by their fellow pure Arabic Sheikhs.

Quranic standards are defacto reflection of Arabic culture- the language, the thought process and even the logic- a tamil speaking muslim who appreciates hindu scriptures, music and does not know Arabic like Kalam are impure (najis) mushriquoons and munafiqoons.

You can ask Zeemax and Urstruly.

Re: # 474

Actually I would love to do that. But here I am not looking to 'restoration' of already desecrated temples which are not the right place to establish idols.

I am trying to look at the possibility of establishing a real Swaminarayan Temple on a 20 or even 1000 acre land.

As far as I recall new temples post partition in Pakikstan are almost non-existent- this is a logical consequence of the mullah Islam according to whoch in an Islamic state dhimmis CANNOT establish new temples to propagate their kufr.

If we can allow a huge Swami Narayan Temple on a 100 acre land , then that would go a long way in building bridges between idolator hindus and moderator muslims in Pakistan.

muslims take note
1)In hinduism lying and cheating are justified even by their gods for example Krishna in Mahabharata

2) Muslims life and property is less secure than that of any non muslim undera muslim as zero convictions after 15 years of Bombay and Ayodhya as well as Gujarat riots show

3) Most of the funding for these riots and the Bjp/VHP come from North America and UK so beware many of the hindu posters of hate here must be reported and monitored

4) As you can see from the postings of the hindus on this site the amazing hatred they carry in their hearts and that they are taught from childhoods, no lie or justification i too fantastic for them.

5) They would love muslims and pakistanis to condone their brutality in Kashmir and the rest of India but it is the religous duty of a mslim to resist an injustice on his fellow muslim until his last breath, hence this battle will continue till we have secured justice.

kuldip nayyar clones take note: even supposed paki liberals like tahmed refuse to disavow their government's use of islamic terrorists who kill non-pakis...

#498 Posted by arjun2 on August 7, 2007 5:27:22 pm
HAHA....prophet tahmed beats around the bush and avoid answering the question...

let me repeat...

Do you deny this: The paki government arms, trains and funds terrorists who infiltrate into India and kill Indians?

Do you deny this: The paki government uses the islamic jihadis as a strategic tool?

arjun: Perhaps you should apply for a job at Gauntanamo Bay as Grand Inquisitor.

This way you could provide the much needed comic relief to both the guards and those locked up there. You could then do your monkey act ("Paki Paki Paki") inbetween your playing the Grand Inquisitor.
