Behind the Iron Purdah

Re: # 163

Thank you for the warm welcome dear sister...may Allah keep you and your loved ones happy and prosperous in this world and hereafter! Although I`m here only briefly. In two days time I go back out on the road to earn a halal rizq Allah has allocated for me.

Some wise people have said one recognizes another`s traits [and forms ;-)~~] by virtue of his/her own. After reading the few responses to my post, I couldn`t agree more.

M`asSalaam,

Why do some people get so worked up over India wanting access to Afghanistan?


Ask the afghans how they feel about the pakis....that`ll make it clear...

Nyetsyed,

Back to remind us of your consummate stupidity....which union for Pakistani domestic workers do you support politically and economically?

Also, please provide legitimate data to prove your notions re: violence against women during and after the Taliban regime.

Re: # 159

No ma`m...I`m back to watch you continue making a fool of yourself with name-calling when you don`t have anything intelligent to say :-)~~

I support the ``Kacchi maassi with seventeen children and no teeth`` and ``Illiterate dhobans`` who keep my home and clothes clean and cook delicious meals for me and my family. The Union is called ``Islam``, which (unlike the author`s and your distate for them) allows me to respect them for who they are and what they can do...not where they`ve been educated and what they look like.

As for data, if your prophet Bush hasn`t banned the Google and Clusty under the PATRIOT ACT for the Moslems - liberal or practicing, pull up those engines on your browser and search away. I`m sure you`re liberal and educated enough to do that by yourself without bothering your husband or other men like me.

May Allah Guide us all!

Hamid Sahib,

No thank you to the one year course. As the author pointed out, there are too many women who will gladly sell the female gender out for their tiny bit of private terrorism...as for men, we have our very own examples on chowk to illustrate how misogyny is entrenched in too many of the male gender. My husband and I were watching The Whale Rider with a close relative last night-have you seen it?

Re: # 157

Kal,

I`m not worked up over India seeking access to Afghanistan, if that`s what you think. She can have all the access she wants. Unfortunately for you, in your nationalistic zeal you missed the context of my post viz the irony. Please read again if you wish to.

ciao,

``...but the meals at the Aurat Hostel will be prepared by a Kacchi maassi with seventeen children and no teeth...``

``Your laundry at the Ambassador will be cleaned in the hotel dry-cleaners, and at the Aurat Hostel, it will be taken to the Lyari River to be beaten on rocks by illiterate women.``

Hmmm... I couldn`t imagine a self-proclaimed liberal woman to discriminate against her own kind, just because they`re poor and uneducated...tch tch tch. What a let down for our oppressed mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters in ``liberal`` Pakistan, if there`s ever to be one.

I don`t know if she has come across the reports by Western journalists on the issue of women and purdah in Afghanistan. Almost all concur that during the Taliban years women were flogged for showing skin. Other than that they were safe and no one could even dare to harm them in any way. Today, with almost four years of democratic forces in power, if they do manage to get out with or without the burqa they`re kidnapped, raped, and murdered with impunity. Kabul may be a li`l better in terms of security...only li`l. And now India wants access to Afghanistan to bolster Afghan security while their own rebels are making and selling porn for funds...it`s like a cat volunteering to guard the milk....hehehe

The author needs to take a cold shower and get off of diet pills to eat some healthy food. Lord knows she`s rumbling a runaway train off the tracks.

Re: # 152

For men like these I propose a new law: If a woman complains about harassment of any kind ..... mental, psychological or physical from any man ...... no matter even if it`s a lie ....
do the following things to the man:
1. 3 cops .... should bring him in the middle of a busy chowk (not this one) and hit him till the passerbys ask the cops to stop.
2. Secondly have him wear a burqa for the rest of his living life. (strictly imposed)
3. If it was a physical abuse, have him castrated, and publicize it.
4. Lastly, every woman should carry a small knife and a baton will have the right to kill any abuser on the spot. This will be not be tried in the court of law.

Please vote YES on proposition 153.

You don`t get enough, Sheikh Sahib.

``And the dancing is very provocative. She is dancing, hands over head, elbows bent, head turning from left to right, and back, and back, her chest flung violently out on the 2 and the 4, the 2 and the 4. And parts attached to her chest are vibrating in slight delay, creating a sensuously syncopated boom chucka chucka, boom chucka chucka. But before you ladies get me arrested for what I’m thinking, let me ask for some help from the guys. We have 50,000 heterosexual guys, all different nationalities, all different religions, all different backgrounds, watching this girl. What are 49,936 of them thinking about? Baseball? I think not.

In the year 1 million BC, there was no game playing. Everyone knew what the dance meant. No mixed messages in Fred Flintstone’s day. Here’s a scenario. There’s 25 women from the village down by the river, pounding loin cloths with rocks, while the men wait in the village, scratching their stomachs, resting up for their next encounter with the wooly mammoth, trying to look good for something. All of a sudden, a young cave girl jumps up from her washing duties. Hands over head, elbows bent, head turning from left to right, and back, and back, she is thrusting her chest violently on the 2 and the 4, the 2 and the 4. Suddenly, a man in the village jumps up, nose in the air.


It’s coming from the river! It’s the miracle of procreation about to work it’s magic. Now we know what the men are good for. He rushes to the stream, nose in the air. She is thrusting more violently now (boom chucka chucka, boom chucka chucka). He better get in there quick or she will finish without him. So he clubs her on the head, drags her back to the cave, finishes the ritual, and now here we are, going to singles dances and reading this crap (boom chucka chucka, boom chucka chucka)!!!!``
