Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice Benazir was a Shia, Naqshabandi, even unworthy non-Pakistanis such as I know that.

Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice #25 Dalrymple is not an idiot. Surely you underestimate Fatima Bhutto. She is the daughter and granddaughter of politicians; wouldn't she know how to preserve her credibility? I'm sure she has had the same story for many years, and I'm sure she's sticking to it; she gave several interviews around the time her aunt returned to Pakistan and was later killed. She is old enough now to tell the same story with the same words. Furthermore, it probably is the truth the way she saw it.

Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State Parthaab mian appears on every Indian site complaining about Indian women, occasionally claiming Russian and Chinese women are better...etc etc. He has now merely expanded his horizons to South Asia. He is not on chowk to read any articles but to post these anti-women posts. Now that I've told you, please go back to ignoring him. Thanks.

Mohajirs Are People Too I couldn't agree more with you, ixno!

Persecution of Religious Minorities In Islamic Countries A very moving article by the way, Kulharee. You're on a roll!

Persecution of Religious Minorities In Islamic Countries Vengy, we hope akcheema will slice people open for years to come. Why are you fixated on his death? What he is doing is reclaiming Islam for himself. It is not only the ultra-orthodox who define a religion.

Mohajirs Are People Too All of you miss the main point, Atif found a condom dispenser. Which is a relief, since knowing and loving atif as we all do, we don't want any HIV spreading in the desi population through him.

30 Days in Afghanistan - Dinner Conversations G'day it is, tahmed. I'd never recommend more than two drinks a day, and don't drink more than three- that too once or twice a month- myself.
Alcohol does help drop inhibitions, and while too much of that can be a bad thing, as everyone knows, it is a lubricant to the smooth functioning of society in small quantities. Clearly, some people can't drink in small quantities and such people are better off not drinking at all.

30 Days in Afghanistan - Dinner Conversations tahmed, wine in moderation does extend life. There are multiple studies, including some that are RCTs-randomised controlled trials, which are the gold standard of evidence. I'm surprised a health fiend like you hasn't heard of that.
It is one of my everlasting regrets that red wine tends to give me migraine. I try to make up for it by drinking pomegranate juice and eating blueberries.

I Spy Hindutva Me too, akcheema, I'm counting on the bit of luck. Good on you to help out, I'm too burnt out to do it.

I Spy Hindutva Stranger things have been known to happen.
Come off it, didn't you start late too, or is this overtime? I'm fanatical about giving away as much overtime as I can,even though I could do with the money to give the mortgage a push. It's too exhausting and not worth it.
Sorry for using your board to chat, kiddo!

I Spy Hindutva Akcheema and I turn up at the same time, because we are in the same time zone, unlike the rest of you, mainly across the Pacific or Indian Oceans. You still at work, akcheema?
Yes, a cretin, but umm, we don't say that any more, do we??

I am generally in favour of freedom of speech, but when it is only used to abuse women, I have to rethink. I still don't believe he should be banned, though. I totally appreciate that Vaibhav has the best interests of our country at heart, but in his place, I would be very worried if the person I am referring to had praise for my article.

BTW, I may be moving Sydney side, so be very careful :)
And g'night, both of you.

I Spy Hindutva Vengataraman, Vaibhav, neither of you has any idea what you're dealing with. He was born hypothyroid and never treated.

Happy Mother\'s Day Ammara, I'm selfishly regretting reading your article because it was so upsetting. These are issues that prey on my mind all the time, yet have to be pushed out to fit my own life in. Is this all life is meant to be for most of the world's population? This is what makes me wonder, where is God?

When a Knock at the Door is Not Enough #21 Urstruly, what would your mother have thought, I wonder? I hope she does not have internet access if she is alive. You would have made her weep in shame at raising such a son if she could read it.
As for your wife, what she must suffer is obvious. I hope she manages to escape. You do realise many jurisdictions accept domestic violence as enough provocation to let the victims, usually women off charges for man-slaughter or murder on the basis of self-defence.

I Spy Hindutva Mistaken enigma: it is your perception, or dare I say it, your ideology, that determines the difference between ideological scrapping and ideological writing.
At least you have the honesty to admit ideology does play a role in the writing of history, and has for millenia.
For decades, there were no complaints when a predominantly, if not entirely Marxist/Congress view of history was sold to generations of schoolchildren. The other side of the picture needs to be seen as well, and I support the telling of the whole story.
