From the Grade VIII Social Studies textbook in NWFP:

(Original is in Pushto, this is a translation)

CHAPTER 4: Hindu Hygiene
(Omitted, will post later)
_________________________

CHAPTER 5: Why are Hindus such bitter enemies of Pakistan
700 million people in India defecate in the open, there are 120 million 'no toilet' households and 10 million homes with bucket toilets which rely on Dalits or achoots to be removed by hand. Numerous Hindu babies are born in these bucket toilets, as the plop out when full term Hindu women squat over these rusted steel buckets to relieve themselves every morning. The Hindu newborns splash and kick around in the bucket until they are noticed by the mother and picked up. (only boys are picked up, girls are left behind). Someone born in the bucket is bound to hate Pakistan bitterly for the rest of their lives, which literally means Land of the Pure and clean people.

Re: #113

I have to run now. But good, we will discuss this to the end. And if you have no argument to offer in the end, YOU HAVE TO ADMIT PUBLICLY THAT YOU WERE WRONG.

I'll give you a hint about the line of my arguments "lying by omission".

Catch you soon.

Re: # 112

" including this kind of material in texbooks is wrong by any standards"

Please elaborate and cite some of these standards that you are referring to and do show how it is wrong. Also explain what do you mean by "this kind of material". Do you think it is purely subjective and has no basis in historically established documented facts? I do not want to know why Hindus "do not do it". Lets keep it focused to Pakistan only.

And yes I do have a tendency to crawl out of "argument" when I get rebuttals like that in #103 & #108. It is merely a waste of time when discourse gets at that level.

[So in other words you do not have an answer about curriculum question. That's what I thought. ]

You have crawled away from many arguments in the past when you did not have any answer. So it's very low-class and Islamic on your part to "demand" answers.

Here is the answer you are looking for - including this kind of material in texbooks is wrong by any standards except for Islamic standards. We Hindus could do the same in our textbooks - the only difference would be that it would all be based on historic facts.

But we don't do it.

[pakistani textbooks are not filled with hindu relgious personalities..not at all..]

No, they are just filled with bad things about the Hindu religion and Hindus.

[I have heard that he has 14,000 wives...]

This is why you fall under the "ignorant" category. And in any case, he is a mythological figure. Unlike your "prophet".

[i have always said that youre all political leaders are imams of makkars..is there anything false ?????]

But they operate in a democratic framework. Unlike your makkars. No?

[and do you know the meaning of rapist....ignorant fool...]

Yes, one who has sex without the other's legitimate consent, numbnuts.

[he married them ...read history before posting OK]

Learn about your own "prophet", shithead. Your 60-year-old "prophet" had sex with a 17-year-old war booty the same night that he had killed her father and brother. That is the work of a monster.

Well, can anybody who is relatively sane and not delusional explain this.......

"The Hindus and the Muslims could not amalgamate each other's way of life to become one nation.The main reason for this difference of cultures, civilisation and outlook was the religion of Islam which cannot be assimilated in any other system as it is based on the principle of...oneness of God....On the other hand, Hinduism is based on the concept of multiple Gods....There lies the difference between the Hindu and Muslim way of thinking.

Ok so why are there more Muslims in India after Pakiland was created.....the "amalgamation" ought not to have happened, if one were delusional enough to believe this tripe......

Hey,

You guys have strange logic. The relationship of animosity is certainly not transitive. Mohammad may have believed that the idolators were his enemy. The converse may not be true.
Paki Islamists believe that hindu idolators are enemy of Islam. The converse may not be true.
That is the strange logic of Paki Islamists.
Nothing wrong, if you can read the logic of Quran. You can understand the way these PAki Islamists think and behave.

Re: # 106

I think you are lying. The fact that you can't refute any claim in the curriculum has ignited fire under your tail. Otherwise I do not see a reason for your Tourrett's Syndrome.

huh? the curriculum question wasn't posed to me...I agree with most things there about the hindoos..and personally, I couldn't care less why a paki got the way he is..I don't care that it was his curriculum...or that his mom didn't hug him enough..all I know is that the end result it that the paki is more likely to turn out to be an islamic terrorist..
