[sometimes i feel like correcting her and telling her that it was morarji desai and not gandhi, but then she might think i am an indian and that would be a fate worse than death ........ so, i just tell her i am a paki and that 'we' are not like those weird people on the wrong side of the border .......]

That's right, that's a clever strategy. Pakis are looked up up to around the globe, especially in the West. Especially during the body cavity searches. Americans do look up to Arabs and Pakis - popularly known as "sand niggers" and "diaper heads" respectively. A clever strategy only a Paki can think up.

Actually I wanted to ask some Paki - why is it that Pakis call their restaurants Indian restaurants? And Indians always want to disassociate themselves from any and all things Paki?

The other day I went to a Paki restaurant and ordered some takeout. For the veg dish they handed me what looked like some sort of meat keema with faint traces of greenish vegetables floating around - eeew!! (which I threw away the minute I got out of the store). Do you guys also brush your teeth with meat keema? Ugh! What a wretched existence!

acha redflaggers don't have hamid's sick sense of humor. koi baat nahiN. :)

arjun, did you redflag hamid's post?

[Surely you're not implying that he's wrong when he blames an old fart......]

By the way, how's your father doing? Is that old fart still kicking around?

ThatKs right Hamidm, you go...you Paki you. :ow long before the word Paki becomes a curse word here, like in the UK? Time to eat ur vegetables son! :)

Re: # 66

arjun mian,

.... all this doesn't matter, if yasser mian says it is gandhi's fault, then it must be so ...... look, any man who looks like that has to be guilty of something .....

...... maybe the fundamentalist are behaving the way they are because they do not want to be confused with that man ...maybe these suicide bombers want to kill themselves because they can't bear the thought that they might have come from the same gene pool as that pathetic looking creature ...... look, as reasonable as i try to be, i still have a morbid fear of cucumbers and cauliflower and other vegetables .... why? .... i think deep down we all resent the disgrace brought upon us by that half naked vagabond - i live in dread of being mistaken for a gandhi loving indian ..... i really resent it when the bleached blonde floozie at work asks me if the urine therapy recommended by gandhi ji really works .... sometimes i feel like correcting her and telling her that it was morarji desai and not gandhi, but then she might think i am an indian and that would be a fate worse than death ........ so, i just tell her i am a paki and that 'we' are not like those weird people on the wrong side of the border .......

... so yasser mian is right - gandhi ji is responsible for our predicament ......... maybe dr sohail can give you a more scientific explanation for this phenomenon .... now go and write some code, or whatever it is that you do when you have a date with yourself on a saturday night ....

gandhi's fault...


How unstable is Pakistan today? Some measure of it has been provided by the Marriott Hotel blast and the attempted killing of the ANP leader Mr Asfandyar Wali. Pakistan’s press is faithfully recording the process of “Talibanisation� of the country’s capital where no one is safe. An article has described how Sector G-11 of Islamabad has overnight sprouted four mosques within a square of 500 yards in its centre. In the I-10 sector, a public park has been trespassed by a madrassa which has grown from a one-room affair to a multi-storeyed institution. The mosque administration has told the citizens that no permission was required for building a mosque. Islamabad sprouted 43 illegal mosques in 2007, while by official reckoning, the legal mosques in the city are sufficient to cater to the population. There are 80 madrassas already in existence there.

Scared of what might happen to them, foreign sportsmen don’t come to Pakistan any more. The latest blow to Pakistan’s prestige is the refusal of a girls’ cricket team from the West Indies to tour Pakistan because of the fear of getting caught up in an Al Qaeda strike. Foreign businessmen have stopped coming to Pakistan, many have cancelled their orders for Pakistani exports, and Pakistan’s own investments in the manufacturing sector have not only ceased but a lot of Pakistani capital is fleeing from the country through “dollarisation�. It is this state of affairs that causes the world to think about the fate of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons and, ironically, this is also a major reason why the “Friends of Pakistan� must come forward to its help.

... i think yasser mian means something else


HE said gandhi was responsible for the current "situation" in pakiland....

Surely you're not implying that he's wrong when he blames an old fart who died more than 50 years ago for the problems in pakiland today..

Re: # 62

arjun mian,

... i think yasser mian means something else ..... since he is the resident expert on the shennigans of that half naked beggar, you should pay close atttention to what he is saying ..... you horrible hindoos have made an industry out of selling that pathetic creature to the west, but we pakis know better ...... we will buy bollywood filums and betelnut leaves from khatris and banias, but we will not buy gandhiji or heeng .......

Now i'm really confused...to hear manto tell it, you'd think that the pakiwhackers were coming in because of gandhi...

After all from what you tell me India is doing well despite having the casteist fascist on its walls and currency.


Make up your mind..

either pakiland is in the fucked up state it is in because it has pictures of gandhi on the walls of it's government offices and on it's currency...

or..pakiland is in a fucked up state, not because of some fart who died a long time ago in a neighboring country, but because your country chose the path of islamic extremism...

LOL, hamidm, laddu is going to be disappointed. He has been looking forward to sundry 'Munafiquoon' saving him from idol breakers. :)

Here is another 'Munafique' learning about his religion the heard way and begging for mercy. :)

Bitter ladoo for Muslim Ganesh fan

Ashok Das, Hindustan Times
Hyderabad, September 23, 2008
First Published: 23:32 IST(23/9/2008)

A carpenter had to apologise to his community leaders to be “re-admitted� to his faith from which he was “excommunicated� for participating in an auction for a ladoo during the Ganesh Utsav.

Mohammed Yusuf, who lives in Borabanda locality of Hyderabad, has been participating in the Ganesh Utsav for years with his friends and co-workers. This year, he wanted to make a contribution for the Ganesh Puja.

During an open auction for the ladoo held in the hand of an idol of Ganesha, he outbid his rivals by paying Rs 12,000 for the sweetmeat. The money collected through auction goes to the Ganesh Utsav fund.

The Radhakrishna Ganesh Utsav Samiti, the organisers of the puja in Borabanda, felicitated Yusuf, presenting him with a garland and shawl. Next day, the city paper of a local daily carried his picture with a small write-up on the auction.

It didn't go down well with the local members of the community. A meeting was called and Yusuf excommunicated—they used the word kharij. He was told that he was no more a Muslim and should move out of the locality with his family.

Yusuf, who is the only earning member of the family, called on community elders and begged for mercy. He was “accepted� back in the fold after he read the Kalma several times.

“I did not know that my action was shirk (prohibited) in Islam. I purchased the ladoo in the auction as it is said to bestow one with good fortune. I decided to follow elders' advise and put an end to the controversy, " Yusuf said.

“It is not permissible in Islam. He should not have done that. Now that he has accepted his mistake, we have taken him back in the community,� a community elder, Yakub, said.

.......... after reading this story, i have decided that you can go ahead and bury me even though i am scared to death of being buried alive !

.... damn! these fundamentalists are scary and they win again ........

p.s. apologies to my hindoo friends who were planning a big party at my cremation
