Let us do away with Kashmir
Posted by jay Jan 8, 2007 01:22 am
Poor pakistanis are worried about some people killed by terrorists in Assam. Here is a routine week in the largest city of pakistan, Karachi. Every week more than 50 are killed. Look at the details of the statistics. Nine are shot dead, this could be caught in the cross fires, or may be for a few rupees. Six murdered, that is hoodood stuff. The most interesting is the 13 bodies recovered, that is the un-accounted, the jihadic killings.

This is what pakistan is about and this is what pakistan wants in kashmir. Kasmir banega pakistan. Pathetic and there are educated pakistanis wanting Kashmir, to offer this great life, this great legal system of blasphemy.

Then of course there are those who wants to discuss with pakistan. Fence pakistan, iraquise pakistan, that is the only solution. There is kashmir problem, there is a pakistan problem for the world.

Muggers on the loose
By Kamran Mansoor

KARACHI: Some 35 persons lost their lives last week, of whom nine were shot dead, six murdered, and one person drowned. Besides, 13 bodies were recovered and six died in accidents.

At least 772 robberies were staged in which 615 mobile phones were snatched or stolen, and around 23 cars and 34 motorcycles were taken away. People were deprived of valuables in 100 incidents. As many as 206 cases of thefts were reported last week, in which 49 cars and 83 motorcycles were taken away from different parts of the metropo

Understanding Kashmir

Jihadis are the essential elements of the ideology of pakistan, the TNT. It took nearly 25 years since its creation for a generation of pakistanis to grow up imbibed with the pak ideology, the k for kafir education system where identifying kafirs is a curriculum requirement.

The soviet invasion of afghanistan simply galvanized this distributed jihadi elements into a single minded force. The jihadis are an integral part of the pak foreign policy and pak society. The kargill invasion is the latest manifestation of a combined jihadi- pak govt action.

The essential elements of a jihadi society founded by Zia, the much maligned person of pakistan could not be removed by several of the military and civilian govts that followed Zia. The hoodood and the blasphemy laws could not be touched by the all poverful busheraff because of the widespread support for it.

Support for kashmir and the sending of the infiltrators to kashmir is the only way to consume the jihadic elements created with in the pak society.

Many jihadis are engaged in crime, a large part of th hijacked and stolen vehicles from karachi fund the jihadis.

The most fundamental aspect of the pak society that support jihadis is the legal system of pakistan.
Take it from me, in pakistan murder is not a crime against the society. Some one has to make a complaint that some is murdered and in many instances police refuse to file an FIR. Look at the crime statistics from karachi, they talk of dozens of bodies found, no case of murder. It is this aspect of the p[aak legal system that supports jihadic murders.

Take it from me, only and only blasphemy is a crime against the society in pakistan.

It is this reality that supports the jihadis and the murderers of pakstan.

By teh way, did you know what was the major event in Islamabad last week. It was the sacrificial killing of a Camal, women and children watched it from the specially built galleries. It is this de-sensitisation of killings that drives kashmir, it is the urge created in the impressionable minds that sends out jihadis to find their jihadic heaven in the lands far and wide.

Pakistan needs the killing fields of kashmir, that is the driving force of its existence.

Understanding Kashmir,

Sdaam Hussain was hanged. Here is an educated pakistani, a former foreign secretary, and what is his concern. Will Sadam become a martyr???, will he get the 42 houris??? and the other things promised for a shaheed. Read the concerns of an educated pakistani, a former top diplomat, from ``Dawn``.


////////////////////////////////////////////

Will he become a martyr?


By Najmuddin A. Shaikh

THE hangman’s noose was placed around Saddam Hussein’ neck in the early hours of the morning on which Sunnis in Iraq and neighbouring Arab states were due to celebrate Eid ul Azha. He had been captured on December 13, 2003, some nine months after the American invasion, in as humiliating a posture as could be imagined. It had been expected that he would be executed.

Understanding Kashmir

To understand the Kashmir issue, one has to understand the primary value system of the educated Pakistanis.

Here is what they did to their own highly educated man, a Nobel prize winner, Abdus Salam.
November 21 was his death anniversary, and no Muslim pakistani dared to remember that and there is the fundamental conflict with India.

There used to be an interactor on Chowk, Yassar Hamdani and he even tried to change the image of pakistan on chowk by repeatedly asserting that there are roads named after Abdus Salam in pakistan.

.....................................

Thus came to an ignominious and shameful end the association of a unique man with his own country. He lived on in Trieste, his home, carrying out various assignments for the United Nations and for the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, and along the way collecting award after award, honour after honour, being elected to numerous academies and societies, being honoured with 27 D.Sc Honoris Cause, and publishing some 250 scientific papers.

Sadly, and most undeservedly, in the early 1990s he suffered a rare nervous disease which affected his speech and his bodily movements, leaving his mind perfectly clear. He died in1996, his body was brought back to Pakistan, and he was buried in Rabhwa, later renamed Chenab Nagar by that great ‘liberal’ Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif. Renowned internationally as the only ‘Muslim Nobel Laureate,’ this fact is denied in Pakistan, where his gravestone has been amended to comically read ‘The First blankety-blank Nobel Laureate,’ the word Muslim having been brutally erased.

Kashmir is the jugular vein of pakistan. Kasmir banega pakistan is what the children of TNT have been taught for more than fifty years. There sign posts in Islamabad and on major roads in Pakistan giving distances to Srinagar as though it is possible to drive up there to reinforcr what has been taught in schools.
Mushi and the educated of pakistan are irrelevant for the kashmir. It will be decided by the millions that come out of the madrassas. Time of Mushy is almost over. For many years on chowk, the educated pakistanis have maintained that the jihadis are only a minority, they get leass than 3 percent, the recent elections have shown the real strength of the jihadis.

The recent hoodood bill discussions again have shown the real nature of the pak society, and they value. Kashmir issue is only a symbol of the clash of the values of jihadi pakistan and India.

Pakistan is country to be fenced and contacts with others controlled. Indian side is fenced, Afghan side is about to be fenced. Iraquisation of pakistan is the only solution to the kashmir issue.
India-Pakistan talks: the endless cycle
Posted by jay Nov 22, 2006 12:25 am
Waste of time,

Any kind of talks or dealings with pakistan other than, if need be, should be trade on cash terms. In the last 50 years the countries have diverged so much in terms of core beliefs about the life and values. Pakistan has become an islamic country with hoodood ordinance at the helm of its value system, supported by the educated that you find on chowk.

They all blame it on Zia, take no responsibility of their own, do nothing to link it to the islam so that it can be comprehensively addressed. It is this unification of the islamic mindset in the educated and un-educated of pakistan is the core issue that will continue to diverge the paths of the two countries.

Any one who points out this tacit support of the chowk pakistanis to the extreme islamic ideas are condemned as hate mongers.

The fact remains that the educated pakistanis, even the ones based in the developed countries will not do anything to upset the core values of pakistan, because they support it.

Has any one ever seen an article on chowk, remembering the birth day of Abdus Salam, as a tribute to him, so that may be one day, it will become a national day for Pakistan.

Pl spare me any of those links to chowk articles on Abdus Salam. What is needed is a remembrance day for him.

By teh way on the chowk, so much talked great pakistanis who run the chowk, will they dare to name the ``university avenue` of chowk as Abdus Salam Avenue``.

No they will not, not the fear of ISI, but they hate salam as a apostate.

Re: # 12

The question is that of relevance. In a city like Karachi, to begin with how many women dare to drive. How many can afford to have a car to drive. How many female taxi drivers are there. How many dare to drive at night.

Once you look at all these, you realize that the article is pure trash, it has no bearing on the reality of Karachi and it is charade to show that the issues in Karachi are no different from that in a modern city, and the modern issues of feminism blah blah.

Wake up, there are relevant topics for Karachi and it is crime.

Yet another attempt to portray karachi as yet another place where the issue is male vs female drivers. Take it from me, the female driver, what is unique about karachi is car jacking. Look at the numbers, how many cars are stolen at gun point, how many are simply stolen.

That is the true karachi, that is the central issue and all this theft is done by the jihadis to fund the afghan war.

talk about that my female driver, talk about the solution to that, and that would be helpful. Pl do not try to make karachi yet another city, it is pak city, it where the jihadis come roost.
Indian Scholarships for Outstanding Pakistani Students

Worst idea,

The author must be the ISI man. Letting pakistanis stay in india to complete a 5 year study program, well that will be best thing that jihadis ever dreamed upp. Already the bombay balst is the work of pakistanis who came in as tourists. There are hundreds of pakistanis who have vanished after the liberal visas were given during cricket match.

The ilks of stuka nd dost mitters have dome enough harm by talking about the so called cultural similarity, some kind of draem from the past. The pakistnais have moved forward. They have the latgest juyhadi education system where people from all over the workd are coming.

In kashmir indians have killed hijadis from more than 10 countries all finding their way through Pakistan.

Now education for the pakistanis. Only option for india is to build the fence and lock them in. There is hardly any country giving any visa to pakistanis, trade is on the decline. Pkaistan needs no modern education, it is all in the book, and that is what every islamic countries believe in.
Pakistan\'s Afghan Policy

Taliban and pakistan

The ducated pakistanis keep telling that it is the US support that created talibvan. The fact is that the involvement of the US was only incidental, the money from the Us came in when the post independant pakistanis, fed on the TNT ideology was rioe for the jihad.

Even after the Us support vanished, taliban is flourishing because of the support of the abdul pakis, the money`s collected from the collection boxes.

Most of the crime, the car jackings and the thefts are by the jihadis to fund the taliban.

Do not blame the US for taliban, it is inherently a product of the TNT, and it will flourish till pakistan is destroyed.
Building Barriers in Britain

Here we go. People want to know why the pakistanis of england has turned out to be what they are. Well, they are jobless, they cannot mingle with others because of religion.

So they become bombers, so they where the hijab to let every one knwo that they are muslims.

This is pathetic, the muslim cilture and identity is in their dress. It is showing others that they are different.

Hallo, how about some lasting human values, how about some education. Has islam produced any scientist. Well how can it, when oits only nobel laurette has been condemned in the land of the pure.

Has nay muslim country produced anything worthy for other humans.

Looking fior the reasons of muslim alineation, pathetic, read the book. It is all there. Ostriches who should live in the saudi deserts should not allowed into the cities of the world.
Pakistan\'s Afghan Policy
Posted by jay Oct 28, 2006 04:42 am
Afghan- a policy success.

Pakistan afghans policy is consistant with its creation ideology, islam. . Pakistan made a living by creating the jihadis to kill the russians who were in afghanistan. Now they are collecting money to kill the jihadis they have created.

The generals captured the jihadis and sold them to the americans, the great ghaznavi tradition of doing anything for gold.

Terror any where in the world can be traced to the madrassas of pakistan, and the ideology that created pakistan. Londin bombing are the classic examples, irrespective of teh social circumstances, it is the leassons of TNT transferred through the mothers milk, the stories of the plunder of gaznavi that impells the pakistanis, even in far of london.

The great advantage of pakistan is that it does not have to worry about any policy, they can stick to the eternal one, the notion of Kafir, operationalised in the political arena, as TNT.

I feel sad for the pakistanis, it is so humiliating to be a pakistani in a foreign land.
Pakistan\'s Afghan Policy
Posted by jay Oct 25, 2006 03:53 am
Pakistan`s afghan policy, well that is an albino oxymoron.

Pakistan has no economic policy, its major export, cotton is on the decline, the value added components of the cotton export has vanished. The weaving machines imported with subsidy are being sold to china at a profit by the importers. Then there is latest subsidy to exporters known as research grant, well it needs a lot of research to bale cotton and ship it.

The fundamental problem of pakistan is that there are no capability in any facet of science. There is no understanding of the world perception of pakistan, nor the reality of pakistan.

The pretty face of a pakistani woman in sari as the foreign affairs spokes person is all that the pakistani inteligentia could come up to project a moderate image of pakistan. Well well that is a shade better than pak tourism promotion in Japan as the home of Budhist culture. Pathetic from the land of the taliban, that destroyed bhumian budhas. It took a TNT inspired islamic country to destry the statues that survived the ghoris and the gaznavis. What a great contribution to man kind from that man whose photos are in every pak offices.
Pakistan\'s Afghan Policy
Posted by jay Oct 25, 2006 03:43 am
Did any one suggest the division of afghanistan, Well division of pakistan is a more natural option. Sindh and kashmir to india, punjab alone and baluchistan and others to afghanistan. That would be natural culturalyy homogenious division. The TNT and isalm as a uniting force is long dead.

Pakistan is essentially a non viable state, held together by the army. The rising jihadis, the crime wave and the failure of state will lead to the division of pakistan. Already large parts of karachi are ruled by the thugs of the non-uniform kind, the rest of the country by the uniformed kind.

I blame it all on colin powel, he should not have made the offer, pakistan should have been part of the afghan invasion, and it would have been another iraq by now.

The only help that the non-resident pakistanis can provide is to accelerate that decline, to a nadir and from then on it can only be progress,
Marriage in Hiding
Posted by jay Oct 20, 2006 11:12 pm
Yet another pathetic article, refusing to look at the source of the issues identified by the author. If a muslim converts to another religion, it is death in pakistan and in all islamic countries. Women have no status other than objects in pakistan, and that is why a man can marry any women, convert her to islam, and it is another proud avheivement by the muslim and islam.

Well if a woman marries another man of other religion, well it is an asset loss to islam.

Read the book, the poor souls of pakistan, and do not indulge in these pretenses of modern topic discussions by pakistanis. You have no clue of what you are talking.
Is the Media the Unofficial Peace Envoy in Kashmir?
Posted by jay May 25, 2006 12:03 am
Zafar,

good to hear from some one in kashmir. Here we have pakistanis on chowl talking about the military occupation of kashmir, freedom movement etc etc. But the funny part is that there is no pak based organisation of any significance that has ``freedom`` as the motive, it is always lasher e toiba, hizbul mujahiodeen atc whciha re fundamental religious jihadis trying to create an isalmix state. There have been attachks on dress, recently on beauty parlours which are all classic jihadi actions.

Do you think that the educated of pakistan like the ones on chowk are the other face of the jihadis. These educated try to legitimise the jihadis through a facade of freedom talk.

It is almost comical that the chowk pakistanis do not support a ``kashmir liberation organisation`, there is a lot in a name, while they support the actions of jihadis by portraying them as freedom moves in the western sense of the word.

May be a real significant action the press could take is to call the jihadi organisations, as freedom fighters, name the hizbul mujahidden as ``kashmir liberator``, call the laskers as `` kasmir saviosrs``. That will be the end of those twp organisations.

Without the winds of jihad from pakistan, kasmir will turn as placid as waters of Daal lake in winter .

Your examples of journalistic contribution to peace is pathetic, making a mole hill out of a sand grain. Journalism has hit the lowest in self promotion.
