democracy is a good thing, but as far as abdul is concerned it is like a suppository - it might make him feel good for a while, but it will still leave him as hungry as gandhiji after an enema .......

Good one.

Gandhijis enemas had nothing to do with hunger. He enjoyed his enemas even during his maran barats.

He was also quite adept at dispensing enemas to those who were near & dear to him.

This was his answer to India's starving millions...feed them intra-anusly!

Let me share a real painful observation with you.

Who among us is not familiar with the stampede which occurs at Desi parties when announcement for food is made. This phenomena is unique ONLY to Indians & Pakistanis.

Now I can assure you that maybe 50 or maybe 80 years ago none of us were like that.

This single observation of carries within it a 1000 years of "reasearch" & "schlorship".

Those who do it are not the deprived ones. They are invariably our "respected" "parRhay-likhhay" & "professional" ones.

We used to, even as a joke, swing to two extremes.

One was the "pehlay aap ones" who were ridiculed about missing their trains.

the other ones were the ones who were so "adventurous" that
they boarded the train themselves instead of the ones who they came to see off at the station.

That SUMS up Pakistan of today & you know who won & who is always riding the trains now.

But I am more disturbed for Pakistanis , especially Muslims.

Forming a Queue is a cardinal requirement for these people during Namaz...& they do not practice it in daily lives.

They are painfully punctual for prayers & Ramzaan...& but in other affairs being on time is a joke with us.

" Jis qaum ko thhee chaar nikahoaN kee ijazat"

the other line is pretty vulgar..but 100% true.

NOOSE IS GETTING TIGHTER
From The Sunday Times
September 2, 2007
How the West summoned up a nuclear nightmare in Pakistan
Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark reveal how misguided deals with Pakistan have created a terrifying threat of nuclear terrorism

General Pervez Musharraf was surprised. Visiting New York for a session of the UN, the last thing the Pakistani president expected was to be confronted with evidence of his country’s secret sales of nuclear bomb technology and equipment to members of the “axis of evil”.

Yet here on the polished wooden table of Musharraf’s hotel suite, George Tenet, director of the CIA, was laying out a sheaf of incriminating evidence.

There were intricate drawings of Pakistan’s P-1 uranium-enrich-ing centrifuge, with part numbers, dates and signatures. And there were details of the activities of Abdul Qadeer “A Q” Khan, the so-called Father of the Pakistani Bomb: his travels around the world, bank statements, even paperwork showing what his organisation had offered for sale and to which countries.

A senior Musharraf aide described it disingenuously as “the most embarrassing moment in the president’s life” – not because of the evidence but because he had felt Pakistan was on a long leash as it was integral to the Americans’ war on terror.

Thanks.

It is a comfort to the eyes , that picture. A fauji being Kicked & the picture is splashed all across the wordld.

Here too the brilliant bengalis are far ahead of us. No wonder they have never been goray-kay-ghulaams...and kicked our na-paak fauj in the nuts in 1971.

When will our Cantonment Kuttaas start getting this overdue Kuttaa treatment they so much deserve.

Robert Fisk: Strange goings-on here in Lebanon ...Published:01 September 2007

Stories that just don't seem to make it into print.


Did you know that the Hizbollah "Party of God" has installed its own private communications network in the south of Lebanon, stretching from the village of Zawter Sharqiya all the way to Beirut? And why, I wonder, would it be doing that? Well, to safeguard its phones in the event that the Israelis immobilise the public mobile system in the next war. Next war? Well, if there's not going to be another war in Lebanon, why is Hizbollah building new roads north of the Litani river, new bunkers, new logistics far outside the area of operations of the Nato-led UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon?

Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbollah's leader, boasts of new weapons. The Lebanese suspect that these include anti-aircraft missiles. If this is true – and many Lebanese who have spent their lives under Israel's cruel air attacks, assaults which have often been war crimes, hope it is – then the next war will be anticipated with dark but keen anxiety. Since the Israeli army is incapable of fighting the Hizbollah on its own ground – its collapse when faced by Hizbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon last year proved this – what happens if their awesome air power is also neutered?
Fouad Siniora, the Lebanese prime minister, ensconced in his little "green zone" in the old Turkish serail, can do little to alter the course of this coming battle. Supplied with bombs by the Americans so that the Lebanese army can continue to blast its way through the Palestinian Nahr el-Bared refugee camp – one of the most uncovered stories of the Middle East year – his government can do no more than wonder at the resistance of the ruthless non-Hizbollah Islamist insurgents who are still holding out there. The US ambassador watches approvingly as the Lebanese army continues to "advance" amid strongholds and bunkers at a cost of almost 140 soldiers' lives although, after four months of "advancing" – as one western NGO remarked to me a few days ago – they might soon, at this rate, reach Cyprus.
One can only reflect on how the US ambassador to Tel Aviv reacts when the Americans supply bombs to the Israelis which are then used on the Palestinians of Gaza. Weapons are always available to blast away at the Palestinians.
This is Fouad Siniora's predicament as Hizbollah tries to destroy his government and prevent the election of a non- partisan president next month. Locked into Washington's embrace as the latest Arab country to prove the spread of George Bush's fantastical version of democracy in the Middle East, powerless in a country where the only functioning institution is now the Lebanese army, the prime minister finds himself on America's side in the "war on terror" against Hizbollah's mentors in Iran. All Hizbollah needed now, poor old Fouad was quoted as saying the other day, was "a composer for a national anthem of their own".
But there are other fears creating shadows in Lebanon. One of them is the sectarianism of Iraq. Lebanon's Shias and Sunnis and Christians all have friends and family in Iraq. Many have visited their loved ones who have appeared amid the Iraqi refugee masses that have poured into neighbouring Damascus. For their care, of course, the Syrians have received not a scintilla of gratitude from the Americans who were responsible for creating the hell-disaster of Iraq in the first place. It's worth comparing the vital statistics (though not on CNN or Fox News): Syria has accepted almost one and a half million Iraqi refugees – caring for them, providing them with welfare and free hospital services – while Washington, when it isn't cursing Iraq's prime minister, has accepted a measly 800 Iraqis.
And Lebanon? No one realises that this tiny Arab country has accepted 50,000 Iraqis since the great refugee exodus began. Of course, the Shia Iraqis have moved into the Shia southern suburbs (home of Hizbollah), the Sunni into Sunni areas of Beirut and Sidon, the Christians into Christian east Beirut and the Metn hills. And because the Lebanese have always called the Iraqis brothers and sisters, there has been no friction between the different Iraqi groups – and this is truly wondrous because only last January, Lebanon's Shia and Sunni youths were stoning each other in their thousands in the streets of Beirut.
So what else do the Americans have up their sleeve for us out here? Well, an old chum of mine in the Deep South – a former US Vietnam veteran officer – has a habit of tramping through the hills to the north of his home and writes to me that "in my therapeutic and recreation trips ... in the mountains of North Carolina over the last two weeks, I've noticed a lot of F-16 and C-130 activity. They are coming right through the passes, low to the ground. The last time I saw this kind of thing up there was before Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan".
That was in early August. Two weeks later, my friend wrote again. "There were a few (more) C-130 passes... I know that some 75th Rangers have just moved out of their home base and that manoeuvres have gone on in areas that have been used... in the past before assaults utilizing [sic] aircraft guided by small numbers of special operations people."
And then comes the cruncher in my friend's letter. "I think that the Bush administration is looking for something to distract Americans before the mid-September report on progress in Iraq. And I believe that the pressure is building to do something about the sanctuaries for the Taliban and foreign fighters along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border..."

A few days after my friend's letter arrived in Beirut, the Pakistanis reported that the Americans were using pilotless drones to attack targets just inside Pakistan. But it seems much more ambitious military plans may now be in the works. An all-out strike inside the North West Frontier province before President Pervez Musharref steps down – or is overthrown? A last throw of the dice at Bin Laden before "democracy" returns to Pakistan?
Stand by for more disasters – from Pakistan to the shores of the Mediterranean. But don't expect to hear about them in advance.

Iran tests new home-made fighter jet

Iran on Sunday made a successful test flight of its second home-made fighter jet, state media reported.

According to the semi-official Fars news agency, the fighter jet, "Azarakhsh" (Lightning), which was said to be "comparable" to the U.S. F-5 fighter jet, made a successful flight in a ceremony in the central city of Isfahan.

Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar and some other senior military officials attended the ceremony, it said.

"The domestically developed fighter plane is another example of the technological achievements of Iran," Isfahan governor Morteza Bakhtiari was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.

"When the United States is selling its arms to its allies in the region, our country's experts are making huge progress every day toward self-sufficiency in defense," he added.

Azarakhsh is Iran's second homegrown fighter jet after Sa'egheh (Thunder), which has been described as a parallel to the U.S. F-18 fighter jet.

Th e mood among sections of the street - I am currently in Lahore - is summed up in a cruel taunt: "People's Party de ballay, ballay / ade kanjar, ade dallay" (Marvel at the People Party / half-whore and half-pimp). This is slightly unfair and could apply to all the Muslim Leagues as well. The fact is that people are disgusted with politics and see politicians as crooks out to make money and feed the greed of the networks they patronise and which double up as useful vote banks.

GT:
I think a short answer would suffice.

Muslims, are strictly prohibited to interfere in the religious practices, rituals, cultures of those who are NOT muslims.

Once they convert they are supposed to adhere very strictly to the Islamic practice & culture & give up the pagan/non-muslim practices.

Fundamentalism ( GOOD word) is not applied one sidedly.


Babur , the great Mughal, specifically intructed MUSLIMS to be very discreet about cow slaughter. It is also in his will to Hamayoun his emperor son.

SATI:

This indeed is very disturbing but even then there was no interference EXCEPT on one occasion & one occasion ONLY.

and that was by Sher Shah Suri.

Once during his exile days he was given sanctuary by a hindu woman who had called mother because of some childhood memories [ I forget detail]. It so happened that when he was appointed the adminitrator of a certain district, some 20 years later, he was aghast to find out that it was that same woman who was to be sutteed , by her "will" of course..because that was what was expected of her..no choice then.

Sher Shah intefered & stopped it..but then the Pundits all went to the governor & complained. The Governor immedeiately reprimanded Sher Shah and told him that their in a social-contract that no rel;igion wiill interfere in another religion {sounds like pristine "secooolarism]. Sher Shah backed off but was determined to curb it whenever he would get a chance.

Whe he took control of Bihar, the first thing he did was to summon a large assembly of Pundits & brahmins & arranged a debate , without any coersion yet in control, to somehow work towards alternatives.

Sati was stopped then by the Pundits & Brahmins themselves agreeing that it was not necessary. You might call it his power & influence..but still it was not decreed & no one was punished if they did so. There IS a difference.

After him they all went back to their old ways. You might also be aware that sati gets more "honourable" either in famine or in plenty.

Is there any wonder that the Kanjaroons think that just by adopting gora chaal dhaal & khaal their IQ would suddenly skyrocket to genius level.

Know not these Kanjaroons that they are SLAVES in their mind heart & body?

Look now what those who HATE the WEst, who KICK the west, & who rub the western & westoxicated noses in dirt..what they achieve..WHILE THE Cantonment Kuttaaas beg for their money back for the jets paid for?

Then There are those who consider english as their first language[ that metaphoric chamaar FerozeK said to Mr. Masadi.Ha Haa Haa & there is no shortage of such kanjaroons here who take pride in NOT knowing Urdu] who are told that they would sell their mothers for much less.


Is there any wonder that the SLAVELANDS do no print such news? Anyone interested could learn a lot... Iran would soon surpass many western nations in ORIGINAL Science research; sports, cinema, & manufacturing. There is a world way way beyond what the english language newspapers of the West & westoxicated nations have even a clue.

No wonder the Slaves in Slavelands are called Jaahils by Iranians AND by Arabs as well.

UNtil & UNless they express HATE for the UNited Satans..the barrage of invectives by muslims the world over will only stop until they cease to exist.

Address by Anders Nordström, Acting-Director-General

WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (WHO) of UN

http://www.who.int/dg/nordstrom/speeches/2006/emro_regional_committee/en/i ndex.html

excerpt:
"
The Islamic Republic of Iran has achieved a dramatic drop in its infant mortality rate - from 120 in 1974 to 28 in 2000. An impressive achievement.

Children must be a priority in the Region, with a sustained commitment. I am very pleased to see that many countries are implementing the Child Health Policy Initiative. Immunization is a crucial part of our work and one of our most successful tools. Yet globally 2-3 million children each year are not vaccinated, and die from preventable diseases. The Region has 78% immunization coverage. The GAVI Alliance continues to increase access to vaccines, and to improve immunization safety. All six GAVI-eligible countries have received funding to support immunization services - a total commitment of $61 million.

In terms of maternal health, much more remains to be done to address the underlying problems in mothers' and women's health. We are still far behind the goals set for 2015 and progress is too slow. If you excuse me making a reference to the Islamic Republic of Iran again, this country has decreased maternal mortality ratios from 245 per 100 000 live births in 1976 to 27 per 100 000 in 2004. Another remarkable achievement.

Globally, momentum is increasing to address sexual and reproductive health. WHO's governing bodies have approved a series of strategies and measures aimed at tackling sexually transmitted infections and improving reproductive health, especially among young people.

Your observations are correct..and I notices that too.

When the referees start kicking the ball themselves this is what happens. Editors become interactors. wearing TWO hats & non-disclosure, in essence the numero uno bane of the EAST..& especially Pakistan. WILL NOT SHED THE UNIFORM!

The CHOWK staff is cutting, pasting, highlighting passages to promote their non-mulla & pro-nanga agenda [ I'll spare the Oons word here..they CONTROL!).

A lot of the stuff getting published here is a mishmash for the paradoxical & at-odds purpose of generating clicks & unflinching idOlism.

Like a marriage of a Marxist to an Adam Smithist hoping to bear a baby who would be Hilton Hippie..like Paris Hilton.

Einsteinwallah:18

Your query is not new & a lot of stuff has already been written on that here & elsewhere.

I might get carried away with a very very long reply.

Pointers:

1. The debate & the conclusions of St. Thomas Aquinas & Imam
Ghazali (1100/1200 AD?) & continuing till now with Huntington & Lewis as DEFENDERS, APOLOGISTS, & WARNERS...because there is a growing school of thought now which considers GHazali to be right.;.these are the Post-Hiroshimaists, ecologists, Greenpeacers, "lefties", DE-Progress-ers, etc etc.

2. Mongol invasion & occupation [ before they were Muslims]
brought destruction spanning from China to Hungary.

Mongol's conversion to Islam brought glory to all the
under their control or occupation.
3. The relentless crusades first against the Byzantine Orthodox church & then against Muslims in the MUslim ruled lands destroyed a lot of infra-structure but also enabled Europe to learn Science, technology, & philosophy from the great Muslim empire & COMMONWEALTH ( a term stolen from muslims by Britto-Babboons) under ONE Khalifaa stretching from China to France [Pacific to Atlantic]. Babur had to seek permoission from the Khalifa to call himself a King & had the "khutba" in all Jumaa prayers read in his name.
Otherwise one was always a mere Sultan,Nizam, Nawab.

As Iqbal has said the Ocean is yet churning & is always in turbulence...As long as Muslims & Islam continue to grab headlines, for good OR bad, there is always hope for a resurgence that will bring forth pearl-oysters to the
seashore.


The knowledge that appears today to you so "obvious", self-evident truth, most enlightening,"modern & advanced" will all be reduced to a heap of nonsense.

Just be ready for it...

Have you ever wondered why fewer drivers suffer/die in a car, full of passengers, in a crash?
