....... the middle and lower ranks of the pak army have been infected by the islamic bug and many are refusing to fight 'fellow moslems


From today's NYT

In Jhelum, a town 100 miles south of Islamabad and a place with a proud military history, one village had shown in the boldest terms the anger about the military fighting Muslims on Pakistani soil, said Enver Baig, a former senator with the Pakistan Peoples Party, who considers himself a pro-American politician.

When the body of a soldier killed in the tribal areas was taken home to his family last year, the father refused to accept his son’s coffin, Mr. Baig said.

Instead, the father took off his shoe and used it to slap the army officer who had escorted the body.

A month later, when another soldier’s body was delivered to the same village, the army left the body on the village outskirts, Mr. Baig said.

Jinnah Zindabad for fathering Pakistan - thanks to him, we are all getting a real-time, ringside view of a nation in the process of self-destruction by antagonists who all claim to be 'real' muslims on both sides. Pakistan ka matlab kya - la illah illalah! Allah hu Akbar!
Cheers!

fuzair mian,

....... the middle and lower ranks of the pak army have been infected by the islamic bug and many are refusing to fight 'fellow moslems' ...... just look at the next truckload of army jawans that passes by and count the number of beards ... and check out some of the army officer's messes and you will see majors and colonels runnig around in beards and crumpled shalwar kameez - gone are the days when you had to shave and put on a proper mufti to enter the ante room .........now many of them look and smell like the uncouth taliban they are supposed to be fighting ..........

....... verily, we are f....ed!

..... i think it is time to switch sides and join the winners if you want to keep your head attached to your body

baitullah mehsud zindabad!

#287 TrichMir,

That's also what I've heard; the locals were very happy to have the TTP and associated Islamist thugs exterminated. But, as usual, the PA made a complete hash of things: as my late father used to say, "the Army encourages a cult of mediocrity." I think he would have to update it now to "a cult of stupidity."

and stop claiming your IITians/IIMians will solve all world problems...Wall Street has made possible for anybody to have a look at their prowess...

and choosing Wall Street itself shows their intelligence...

Please read Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan...hes putforth very beautifully what i am trying to say

you get what you deserve

Nkg,

this is a statement i dont believe in...and I am not going to talk about how Ambanis made their riches...GT knows better how Tata and Birla made money...


nobody deserves more than the other...and stop the fiddling with greatness of the Indian mind and its knowledge...

accept the Pakistanis have more spine...can we create a single suicide bomber who can kill himself for his belief...

Vengy Garu,

Nkg moshai is correct. Killing rich people wont make poor people rich. Only the thugs from the poor will become rich and everyone will be poorer.

Re: # 293
vengat...
do people know, how this tiny minority accumulated wealth? If Ambanis are rich, they deserves to be. If you kill Tatas, as they are rich, you will never get a Nano for you.....the bottomline, is you get what you deserve ( and it is very difficult to accept it).....

Nkg,

im not in favour of the Taliban ruling but my view is that people would feel more empowered...you just have to become a Taliban...all gates will open...

if you look at any society (atleast the east's) majority of the people live in an abysmally poor set-up and atiny minority's will is imposed as the country's will...if you look at that minority not many would have come up playing fair...

so its all fair in the game...atlease in a Talibized set-up you could kill a politician you dont like at will...:D

Re: # 285
vengat....
there is wide spread human perversion of not getting pleasure from what you want but from how you prevent others from getting something better...example, I will be happy with Maruti 800, until my neighbour purchases a Honda City......Those societies, which supports this (foundation of muslaism/islam is this in the garb of egalitarian society) negative thinking and resultant gang crime are bound to sink....so many prosperous societies got destroyed under this evil influence.....I can recall a story from my native place....two people came riding bycle and after looting the bank (SBI), they thrown 6 bundles of (during early 1980s) INR10, while fleeing from the scene...the street urchins and people blocked the road to collect the money. The police, with its gun and Mahindra jeep was not able to touch the decoits....who are the real decoits? definitely the people who were blocking the street for INR10.....Muslaism is mainly based on negative thinking ( we go for yoga to control sexual emotion but muslas try to cover the entire female body, as if that is the reason for such problem).....
