Mr. Chauhan,

The Saudi embassy proposes the following compromise solution: the are prepared to serve Dunkin Donuts made from specially formulated hilal dough, and to serve them with Mecca Cola (the popular muslim drink) rather than the heathen coffee. Would this be acceptable in Qustuntuniyah??

``but they still would have to acknowledge that he was one of the most influential persons in the history of mankind who had and continues to have a profound impact on the lives not only of Muslims but also of Non-Muslims.I am surprised that UNESCO has not designated as a world heritage monument. ``

Hitler was the most influential man of the 20th century. He changed the fate of billions of lives (directly and indirectly) in the shortest possible period. If he had won the war, maybe we would been talking german now (if still alive). May be, UNESCO should designate his bunker also as a world heritage monument.

Muslims alone can decide whether or not there is any sancitity attached to the Prophet`s house. Non-Muslims may not regard Mohammad to be a prophet or may not even regard his message to be one of love and peace, but they still would have to acknowledge that he was one of the most influential persons in the history of mankind who had and continues to have a profound impact on the lives not only of Muslims but also of Non-Muslims. Therefore, one could argue that his house needs to be protected as a unique world heritage; I am surprised that UNESCO has not designated as a world heritage monument.

All said and done, however, if Muslims from Morocco to Malysia are not raising a huge hue and cry about the demolition of the house, why should non-muslims?

Re: # 98
//....Do write/talk to them and express your solidarity against the issue...//

Just ``write/talk``? No riots .. no fatwas ....No suicide bombing?

I remember - There is this shrine in Kashmir which holds Prophets hair [or so they claim] ... during good old days of jihad, freedom fighters were holed up there - indian army had to attack to flush them out. I remember the brouhaha generated at that time.... the call for jihad against hinoods could be heard far and wide across the lands of the faithfuls.

How come nobody is calling for jihad now? In Kashmir, that was just a hair - but here it`s the entire house, Prophet`s entire house is being dismantled. Yet no jihad? just write and talk?

``what kind of religious twist of Islam is this wahabbism?? ``

I think it is pure islam as Mohd practised. Over centuries as people from other cultures converted music, art, calligraphy ... was added to it.
Aurangzeb also tried to revert back to the ``basics`` by banning music, art which he considered unislamic.

#99, Ya Shaikh Taleb Bin Sood, Amir-ul-Kullul Kelbiyeen, Light of the World (200 watts!)

Assalaam-o-Alaikium wah Rahmatullah was Barkatuhu,

Your Footcandleship:

Shukran for your kind response to my steamed colleague, Sayyad Hamidm, Do Number Walla. All I can say at this time is ``Lahore Vilayet Kuwait. :( ``

Sayyad Hamidm Doyam merely asked for preservation of old house of Holy Prophet (PBUH) in Medain. My extinguished friend did not plead for long venom-filled lecture on habitat of converted Indoos bashing head on walls while listening to Qawwalis and going wee wee on mazaars after drinking bhang and smoking hash.

Also you invoke name of ``Allahdamn`` in our business. Some of us Persianized converted Indoos prefer to say ``Khudadamn`` instead, but that is another problem. I must remind you that the word ``Qawwal`` is Arabic in origin - I am, of course, no entymologist, because I do not specialize in study of incest. You called us converted Indoos ``perverted heathens.`` May I also remind you that you are the perverted people who taught us to go jiggy jiggy with our own cousins. I remember you very well from Houston nightclubs, when you were student at Oakey from Fanokey school in Oklahoma. You know why Texas does not fall into Gulf of Mexico? Because Oklahoma sucks.

You go ahead build Walmart, Kmart, Dunkin Donuts, or anyother American franchised structure, you can even build your own Bunny Ranch for all we care. After all, we have Heera Mandi in Lahore and have major expansion project that will tear down the Fort, the Badshahi Mosque, Ranjit Singh`s resting place, and Iqbal Sialkoti`s Khwabgah. You can build your own fast food joint with drive through and high canopy for camel traffic. It`s your country Khuda Dammit!

In closing, I would like to say that one day I hope to pour my sacred Indoo urine on your resting place. But I hear that you Wahobbies don`t mark your grave, so I won`t know where to aim. Well, good move on your part. Too bad, Americans don`t care about your dexterity at debauchery as long as you have that slippery oily rectum.

Khuda (How do you like that, you Arab?) Hafiz ya Shaikh Habibi wa Tarqa al-Kelbi.

Salim ``Converted Indoo`` Chauhan :)

Shukran, ahlan wa sahlan,
Bukra min khair

......... bismillah er rehman ur rahim ...........

ya rafiquee hamidm,

we are in receipt of your letter requesting that we do not pull down the prophet`s (pbuh) house on prince taleb bin saud street but regret to inform you that we cannot do that ........ why? ..... first, because it is none of your allahdamn business - if we want to tear down the kaaba and put up a walmart with a big parking lot around it, we will do it ............ secondly, because it is bad !...........

...............you hindoo converts have perverted the pure religion of our prohet (pbuh, his camel, and his ancestors) by indulging in shirk and bida ....... yes siree - i went to oklahoma state - yes siree, you have polluted islam with your horrible hindoo ways, your idol worship and qawalli singing ........... we know all about you and your heathen ways ....... once a heathen always a heathen! ...........

...............you converted people go to mazars and hang onto curtains, and beat your head against the wall, and cry and beg those dead faqirs for favors that only allah subhanwutallah and his daughters have the power to grant ......... you drink bhang and smoke hashis, and then whirl around like those decadent western party animals at a night club in houston ( oh, how i miss those days ) ............ this is not islam !...... islam is sad, it is austere, and it has no place for tourism or wild parties .......... in any case, why would you want to visit the prophet`s crib - it is not exactly donald trumps manhattan apartment and is a dump compared to snoop`s hizzle .......... sup dizzle, lets chizzle in the hizzle fo`shizzle ! ................

.......... so rafiquee, we regret to inform you that we will tear down the shack and put up a kfc or a dunkin donut instead .......... since we are a democracy, next monday we will be holding a referendum in the kigdom to ask the people if they want a kfc or a dunkin donut - only men over forty will be allowed to vote ......... and don`t even think of asking the americans to come and bomb us with b-52`s and daisy cutters like you did when our proteges, the taliban, pulled down those silly bamiyan buddhas........ we are not the taliban - we might look and act like them, but we have oil .............

sincerely,

prince taleb bin saud
minister of aniquities, culture and tourism
kingdom of saudi arabia

Re: # 93

kaalachakra,

{{Such sentimental attachment to physical things or even places (like Mecca/Medina) is a very Indian/Hindu thing (or so Romair has been educating us). }}}

Is that SOWWWW?!

hahahahaha!!!..You just made my day!


So I suppose his ``sentimental attatchment`` to his ancestral property in Srinagar makes a very Indian hindu Rajput!

Man! too bad I was`nt around when he bowled THAT googly!

Jeeze, where IS Romair these past couple a` days?...gee..was it somethin` I said?...
I miss him...has he slit his wrists already?...I hope not...
er...I`ve not done with him ; as yet

Re: # 87

Guys,

what kind of religious twist of Islam is this wahabbism??

Islam rejecting art?!...Music, dance, painting, songs, photography...BAD for ``religious`` health?

What kind of awful Islam is this?

this is NOT the kind of Islam I grew up with; in India...

In India...some of the greatest works of art is associated with muslims...what Goddamned tribe of human beings...those people of empty sand & desert...no art..no culture of any sort? (OK maybe Arabian knights)...but jeeze...these Arabs from Saudi are a real wierd people...IMHO..at least...

Films can be made about Jesus & Buddha & Ram & Krishna...but none can be made of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh)??...

....I would think we 4 billion kufrs would appreciate him & his message a lot more...if we saw a film about his life...

...I mean...who made these RULES?? Allah?!...the Holy Prophet himself ?...surely THEY could not have made them...there werent any cameras or films invented then...I have a feeling some huckster(s) like Wahab & Maududi et all just took Islam like Rapunzel & locked her up in a very very high castle....& keep JEALOUS and POSSESSIVE guard of her..there...& any muslim who DARES question the motives of those ``wicked warlocks`` face the gallows for blasphemy..

Whats more regrettable is that no Prince or Prophet will ever come to rescue Rapunzel...acc to the Koran (i think)..

Re: # 79

NHK,

{{One can possibly live quite happily without a religion. But living without a culture, of which history is a part, is a stunted, rootless and a meaningless existance}}

that was very profound, sir...well said

Ref Dalit #90

[Muslim sense of history is funky….hehehehe… Mohammed lived for 63 years most of it in Mecca. Never owned a property but house was his…..heheheh… Can Muslims declare all the pavements and streets he walked on in Mecca sacred? Hehehehe…Don’t allow any construction in Mecca…hehhehe….]

You know what I REALLY REALLY like about Muslims?

They killed Prophet Muhammad`s descendants.

Every single one of them.

Payback, hehehehe.
