#56 Atif {"Zeemax / Salim - I think I have lost you guys in this cryptic talk of chains and necklaces. But "jeweler by copulation" is an interesting term."}

Teefay,
While you were enjoying the First Class lounge at Quaid-e-Azam International, some of us were busy counting Zeemux's beads as he was passing them out to every Radha, Usha, and Pooja. :) Then we found out that the free gold necklaces were neither real nor free.

#82 3000 year old beer breweries have been found in egypt. so, after building pyramids during the day, the boys no doubt hit the local bars in the evening.

To begin with, alcohol and dancing...(allegedly major vices as compared to honour killings and amputations) are not alien to Islamic "civilisation", for instance arak and raki etc have been produced in the muslim middle-east for centuries, also in antiquity the Caliph Haroon-ul-Raheed was noted for having a very sophisticated palate and the richest wine-cellar in the known world.

The very word "alcohol" is derived from Arabic, as it was Abassid muslims, (the scientist Jabir ibn Hayyaan) who actually invented the distillation of ethanol fit for human consumption, as a viable chemical process, (in the days when muslims weren't illiterate monkeys).

Part of the circumstances which led to such discovery was was because the word "khamer" as mentioned in the quran was held to strictly refer only to fermented grapes rather than any other beverage. This view is still maintained by Hanafis and some sufi orders and indeed by most arabic linguists, to which end all other alcohol (particularly mead made from honey recommended by the prophet) is legal in islamic law, before corruption by wahabism.

Alcohol was in fact also legal in Pakistan until Bhutto sold out to the mullahs.

The Islam that is being you advocate has nothing to do with "civilisation" or humanity at all... It is precisely the likes of you that has had muslims devolve into pathetic, pitiful illiterate monkeys who start jumping up and down and bombing shops at the very sight of a Beyonce CD.

... and also sex (including orgies with multiple women and homosexuality) is permitted in islam

You pimp Son of a Bitch!

Al-'Ankabut (The Spider)

29:29 Must you indeed approach men with lust, and thus cut across the way of nature? and must you commit these shameful deeds in your open assemblies?� But his people’s only answer was, “Bring down upon us God’s chastisement, if thou art a man of truth!�

Food should not be wasted especially in a food deficit area.

But beverages of all kinds should not be wasted either!

Live and let live.

Ras

Re: # 73

Salim sahib:

"...If he continues at his pace and I degrade at mine, we should arrive there approximately concurrently...."

Please enjoy rather than rush to be a character witness at the Most Supreme Court. At least you would be able to have make a court performance that befits you, in the Most Supreme Court. This performance will certainly beat Shah Rukh Khan's in Devdas. You might be able to start an industry afterwards, if they let you return.

Anil #72 {"You mean you will ask the Most Supreme Court to hold up Hamidm Sahib's trial for almost 25 years, until you reach there. Where will he be in those 25 years while in custody, and what if you changed in the meantime?"}

Anil Bhai,
Hamidumdum Sahib has on several occasions promoted the health-related advantages of imbibing the sacred nectar. I have not partaken of the essence of liquidity for exactly three years. If he continues at his pace and I degrade at mine, we should arrive there approximately concurrently.

You mean you will ask the Most Supreme Court to hold up Hamidm Sahib's trial for almost 25 years, until you reach there. Where will he be in those 25 years while in custody, and what if you changed in the meantime?

Hamidumdum2 #68 {"salim mian,
..... i don't mean to be cruel when i poke fun at OUR holy prophet (pbuh and his camel).... i do it to innoculate my fellow moslems against the onslaught of insults from danes, dutch, swedes and other islamophobic infidels "}

Hamidumdum Sahib,
That's the problem with you quacks - you do terrible things to us and then we find out that it was for our own good. Now that I understand your noble mission, I will be your character witness at your Most Supreme Court trial.
