There are no angels in politics but for whatever reasons, NS has supported the right cause. Yes, I am aware of his bad behaviour in the past but then every saint has a past and every sinner a future.

How nice of you Majumdar bhai! I only wish you'd extended the same courtesy to Gandhi too. Or is it that only Pakis allowed to reform?

Re: # 243

Hamidm sahib:

"...... i was wondering if nawaz sharif will announce a long march to islamabad when ppp and pml-q announce that they are going to form the next government in punjab ......"

The question is who will go with him, the next time. Masadi Mian stayed back, even though he thought it was the best democratic happened in the world (my intepretation).

he'll spit the dummy, on the floor and throwing a paddy I'd imagine

along with a small part of the Punjab province ... which to some only means Lahore and a few surrounding districts

cheema,

Serving humanity is a noble idea and all ... but I still prefer wet t-shirt contests. And if those are held, I would donate 100% of my time, free of charge ...

hamidm sahib

the people you are referring to have no idea how to read between the lines and appreciate sarcasm and irony ... your talent is wasted here (sadly)

[[And I am all for having disney run mecca and madina, including wet t-shirt contests around hijaz]]

I am all for flattening the places in question down and building a hospital (or something else that can serve humanity better) ... if it happens to be a hospital, I am willing to donate 100 percent of my time free of charge! (and I am not kidding either!! ... I'll eat grass if I have to! ... its been 'prescribed' to me by my leaders before under similar circumstances to achieve 'higher' objectives)

Re: # 207; majumdar

[[Bong Muslims wud be in a majority in WB and Assam and then Ms Suzanne Arundhati Roy will be advising Indians to get azaadi from WB/Assam and WB/Assam azaadi from India!!!]]

its highly likely to be the 'former' rather than the 'latter' ... some of us are trying to do the same in Pakistan!

Error correction in 237

Sorry, I meant to write lungs and not luns ... What a difference one g (spot) can make!!? Sorry again, it must be a Freudian grip -- err, slip.

Inter-sect conflict on Chowk

Hey, what's going on here? Is this Chowk website or post-Soviet Afghanistan? The mujhaideen have turned their guns and luns towards one another: shouting expletives and denouncing each other, as if they were Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Burhanuddin Rabbani. No wonder the Ummah never gets anywhere. They are too busy fighting each other the moment the true infidels slack off.

Mujahid Idasam and Maulana Ylurtsru are at each other's throat, and of course, they both hate Mujadid 23Demhat.

All hindus & Jews should take heart.

hamidm,

… ok, “biggest� may be debatable … but perhaps the “loudest�? After all, sahib did write the infamous article titled “An Open Letter� to support the war. And I understand that shit happens … remember uhud?

If juliet had a penis, loved football, and farted loudly while having dinner, that would make her a man. But till this happens, she remains a woman – good for her. If the wrong country is attacked, over false reasons, and the war execution too is bungled up … then what is right about this war? I only wish I had bought hallibutron back them. Now you know why I am bitter …

… granted, iraqis stood in long lines to vote … but what does it mean? They would do the same to see a mujra. And shame on them if they don’t …

And I am all for having disney run mecca and madina, including wet t-shirt contests around hijaz. Perhaps tahmed can write another article: “An Open Letter to Disney Shareholders� …

Re: # 233

sattar mian,

........ i resent that comment! ..... i am the iraqi war's biggest proponent, not tahmed ....... he is just a sheikh chilli come lately who jumped on my bandwagon when he saw the light of democracy spreading in that dark desert of bedouin ignorance ........ now, mind you, i think the war was poorly executed but, as old rummy would say, shite happens ...... and the shites did happen - it is an unintended consequence of war ..... in any case, the old logjam of autocratic rule in the arab world has been broken and hopefully it will spread .........

...... in hindsight i think we did attack the wrong country - saudi arabia is the source of all evil in the mohammedan world ........ it has to be liberated from the clutches of the saudi clan and the province of hijaz has to be put under un control so that i can take mrs hamidm for umra ....... i refuse to go until mecca and medina have been liberated and the idols of the quraish put back inside the kaaba - okay, maybe that is asking a bit too much ..........

tahmed,

I rub your nose in the Iraqi issue since you are its biggest proponent … even as you admit, get this, that the wrong country was invaded. Even a monkey can write an article and make big claims. However, it takes some intelligence to back up outlandish views, and therein lies your shortcoming.

If you have any answers, you have failed to communicate them. And now you are now hiding behind “sattar is not serious� excuse. How can you suggest this? I have clearly outlined errors in your reasoning … and all you have is a made-up excuse?

Earlier your excuse was that “sattar is abusive� (even though I merely called you an idiot at times). And now you are back to the ahmadi community (rolling my eyes) …

Sahib, are you feeling alright? I think you need a prozac refill …

RF bahi, I am simply amazed at the manner in which people, like tahmed (who thinks civil disobedience is a hallmark trait of a democratic movement-not the people who are leading it) and masadi (who thinks that popular will is some anti-elite, anti-army mandate (nevermind that the elite were the ones marching)) retrofit their silly worldviews into this supposed "people's victory". Mind you the army and the US have been the key to getting a compromise done.

Re: # 230 shame you Tahmed32! You are reading too much into an innocent post, and misleading an honest ad unworldly person like MASADI, leading him to further humiliation.
