Restoring the Civil Rights of Ahmadis #46 by MantoLives

A 45 year old Indian Mahatma goes around calling Black people subhuman for many years... Then he doesn't have the grace to accept that he was wrong.

If a much older Jinnah calls for Direct Action that leads to the killing of thousands of Hindus and Muslims doesn't have the grace to apologize, how do you expect a 45 year old Mahatma to apologize for something he had done much earlier in his life?

Also, this was from very early on in Gandhi's "political career"....I call it deliberately distorting the truth.

Cheema bhai, this is what I and many others have pointed out too. But I guess the balance of Yasser's entire thesis hangs on this slender bit of "evidence".

The Bhopal Tragedy Continues #5 by harish_hyd

...children given birth to by affectees after the disaster have suffered....

The Bhopal Tragedy Continues #4 by nkg

When Union Carbide wanted to provide compensation to the victims, victims and GOI asked for abnormaly high amount ( compared to the current market rate used for train accident victims)

If that is the case, the GoI was right in demanding higher compensation. Because whereas in a train accident only the victim dies, in the Bhopal gas leak case, children given birth to affectees after the disaster have suffered various ailments and deformities and continue to do so. Besides, the environmental damage suffered was enormous.

The Bhopal Tragedy Continues Bhopal was one of the greatest tragedies the world witnessed. An even greater tragedy is the manner in which the victims were handled, both by Dow Chemicals and the Govt. of India.

Beej Bhai, you are right, countless lawyers with the same ideas. The thing is I've had countless debates with Yasser and I not only know his ideas but also the style he interacts in. This one has Yasser stamped all over it.

Restoring the Civil Rights of Ahmadis #10 by BJ2

VRV and Arjun, I do not believe that Manto wrote this piece because he always spells MAJ’s first name as “Mahomed”. There are a couple of other points as well – which I explained on the UP.

Beej Bhai, why would anyone leave a clear giveaway when they do not want to be identified as the author in the first place? The ideas expressed in the write up are unmistakably Yasser's.

tahmed32 said something similar on UP, and I've asked him whether it is still ZAB who is doing the same thing in Indonesia - a country liberal enough to allow a local language edition of Playboy Magazine!

Indeed! Paki liberals are a species unto themselves. If it weren't for the overwhelming will of the Paki people, ZAB could have done squat.

Attack in Mohmand Pentagon insists Pak strike legitimate

The US defence department on Thursday insisted that its air strike that killed 11 Pakistani soldiers along the Afghanistan border was a "legitimate" act after an angry Islamabad summoned the American ambassador to protest against the "unprovoked and cowardly" attack.

"I will say this: Although it is early, every indication we have at this point is that this was, indeed, a legitimate strike in defence of our forces after they came under attack," Pentagon Spokesman Geoff Morrell told reporters in Washington.

The US State Department had on Wednesday termed it as a "regrettable" incident and "a reminder that better cross-border communications between forces is vital."

"Every indication we have at this point is that the actions that were taken by US forces were in -- were legitimate, in that they were in self-defence, after US forces, operating on the border of Pakistan in Afghanistan territory, came under attack from hostile forces, and, in self-defence, they called in an air strike, which took out those forces that were attacking them," Morrell insisted.

He said the US forces will work in close coordination with the Pakistanis to find out what exactly happened and expressed the hope that the incident would not affect anti-terror cooperation between the US and Pakistan.

"We hope not. It's a vitally important relationship in an extremely dangerous part of the world. We have shared goals, and that is to take on terrorists who may be plotting, training in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas," the official said.

"And so it is incumbent upon both of us not to let an incident like this or any other interfere with that fundamental shared goal of making sure the FATA is not a refuge for terrorists who may be plotting attacks against the Pakistani government, the United States government, or any of our allies," Morrell said.

The senior official maintained that the operations along the border are done in close coordination between US forces, coalition forces and the Pakistani military.

"We are aware of some of the concerns that have been expressed by the Pakistani Army and other elements of the Pakistan government. And I can tell you that we are working with the Pakistani government to try to get to the bottom of this incident so that they have a better understanding of it, so that we have a better understanding of it," Morrell added.

As there is a new government in charge in Pakistan, the US government, including Pentagon, is "exercising a great deal of patience as we allow them the time and the space necessary to get on their feet," the official said and pressed that any negotiated settlement with the militants should be "enforceable" and not allow FATA "to become a safe haven for Al Qaeda [Images]."

"We are hopeful that the efforts that have been undertaken thus far by this new Pakistani government will be fruitful. They've made attempts or are in the midst of attempts to work out some sort of negotiated arrangement with militants in the FATA. It is our insistence, our belief, our urging, that any kind of arrangement they come to be enforceable and that the FATA not be allowed to become a safe haven for Al Qaeda," he said.

Referring to my post about Gandhi's statues being everywhere you say this:

So do Lenin, Stalin, Marx, Kim and Mao's I guess.

Of course Majumdar bhai, which is why it is so sad. These murderers had their statues put up but no one gave thought to the only one from the subcontinent who could match them (tears down the cheeks wala icon).

The true Great Man from Gujarat hardly had any following in India in 1984. It is only lately that the Great man is being recognised while the charlatan is being shoved by the dustbin, quite literally.

Of course, a man like Advani praising him isn't a mean achievement at all, but only a scounderel recognizes another, so there!

As for the Tussauds thing, you're making too much out of one incident Majumdar bhai. There are thousands of places where the great man's statues stand tall and millions (perhaps more) still look to him for inspiration. No such luck for the..ummm...true charlatan.

Can you explain the Gujarat murders of 2002 or the Sikh riots of 1984 in the land of the (alleged) Mahatma?

Majumdar bhai, you might have noticed that the other illustrious son of Gujarat and the founder of a neighboring country has been increasingly beginning to gain approval from Indians. Maybe that should explain it.

Pakistan\'s Nuclear Test - Ten Years Later #442 by majumdar

Majumdar bhai, you're getting more desperate by the day. There's a saying in Telugu which crudely translates into: "When asked who robbed the pumpkin, the thief was the only one who shrugged his shoulders".

Pakistan\'s Nuclear Test - Ten Years Later #54 by Urstruly

The civilian casualties are a fact of modern warfare; it is impossible to avoid them. Personally, I don't understand why they should be avoided at all.

And yet you don't hesitate to shed crocodile tears for civilians killed by USAF jets in Iraq/Afghanistan or Predator drones in FATA. Is it because the civilians are Muslims and not Kafirs?

Pakistan\'s Nuclear Test - Ten Years Later Pakistan's whole nuclear program is based on the false premise that India is out to gobble it up, but today it is the US that regularly attacks Pakis inside Pakistan. What are the nuclear weapons going to do to the US? The Jihadis have almost completely destabilized the country but is there anything the nukes can do about it? Billions of dollars and years of scandals and opprobrium later, Pakis aren't any safer than they were before the nukes.
