where Pakistanis are terrorists

Not far from the truth...Did you see this weeks law and order? Where do people go to turn into Islamic fundamentalists? Take a wild guess
--------------------------------------------

I dont know if it was law & order but i saw similar story line as John Lindh Walker in fact the character white blue eyed white bearded character was named LINDH too.


IT WAS DISTORTION B/c it was writers interpretation based on psychology why John walker became muslim.

Problem is now that t,v, episode will be remebered as REALITY of Lindh & Arjun will go about believing everything fantasied by Dick Wolfe & scrip writers of L.A.


Khaled Mohommed is Kuwaity born & brought up there ,Osama is saudie ,Dr.Mazhawari is Egyptian.

Pakistan b/c of India & its billion voices ...proptionateluy more nedias ...has been condemned more ,than its share of blame for terrorism.

If you consider Ramzis case as disgruntal employee of CIA it happens in USA all the time particularly POSTAL service .He went Postal in front of CIA office in D.C, & did what snipers & many such cases Americans have done .Where was Islam angle in thses or even in 9/11.Even if America might have been perceived asAnti Islamic except for Al Qeida no other muslim has done anything about it .Pakistan even in 70s when India was burning Nixon effigy it never sough alternative alliance.

B/c Of Americas interest in Afghanistan in 80s Pakistan was dragged into it of course willingly b/c there was incentive from America .Taleban was not Pakistans baby ALone but America Afghanistan & Pakistan.

Again b/c of INDIA ,Pakistan is disproptionately blamed for what may be negligible role in 9/11 or any other acts


So money to ATA was wired from Karach .Pearl was Killed in Karachi but Karachi is filled with Afghan & thru Afghan ALL THE MUSLIMS OF THE WORLD .

All sorts of Jews from South America to NorthAfrica to Russia are fouind in ISRAEL too .May be one of the bad press & p.R. Pakistan got is opposition of India tom Pakistans affinity to all muslims compared to that toward India.
Losing Something In Translation
Posted by Agha Mar 5, 2003 02:33 pm
Not that it never had been said before reading translation of any remarkable piece of literary work, prose or poem is like kissing your secretary expecting to get the same experience as if kissing your beloved wife .

Rabindranath Tagore is associate with thisremark but his Nobel prize winning Geetanjali poem is written in shudh BENGALI .

I also never find any of Tagores work having as much flavour as his original works in Bengali
