There'd a Gay Bar for Malayasians in New York but there'd NOT be one in Kualalumpur (sic).

'...Asra went on to publish her own “Islamic Bill of Rights” which included the right to consensual pre-marital sex..'

This reminds me of a joke told by David Letterman in one of his Late Shows.

The Bhopal Tragedy Continues
Posted by VRV Jun 16, 2008 02:46 pm
What a monumental tragedy and equally monumental apathy of the GoI!

I think UC gave some Rs. 5-600 crores of compensation but how much of it actually went to the beneficiaries is the question. Nevertheless the remedies made in India upon this tragedy were not witnessed coz we have the chemical plants releasing toxic gases at nights is a norm in western India (as far as I know); those chemical plants release effluents to the pristine tributaries and rivers & release toxic gases is also a naked crime that go unnoticed, leave alone unpunished. In fact Vapi is one of the top-10 polluted cities in the world. The death of flora and fauna & throttling of general environment and rise of gas-related diseases are not at all studied leave alone remedied. It’s a summary ignorance & apathy.

Environmental damage is something that's invisible or immediate but money is not going to bring back any amount of splendour that's lost in the process of 'development'. We don’t have Carbon Trust in India as we have one in UK. It’s a misconception that upkeep of environment is a costly enterprise. On the contrary it’s a money-minting exercise. GoI and state govts keep silent or in a mutually beneficial relation with the industrialists i.e. collusion and bribery.

Bhopal is one of the greatest tragedies of India and no lesson is learnt till date. Conscientious activists may write books & novels and get acclaimed by the western world but we are never going to learn anything from any kinda tragedy in India.
Restoring the Civil Rights of Ahmadis
Posted by VRV Jun 16, 2008 02:23 pm
Yasser Latif Hamdani as Chowk is like Salman Rushdie wearing a wig.

Civil Rights, yes but religious rights, yes as well BUT reinventing Islam, prolly NO.

Sorry Yasser, u need to convince ur fellow compatriots on that. If u believe in democracy which is 'rule by majority' then u have to abide by that rule.

P.S: If u cant put ur name fearing persecution here how can we belive that u r actually 'participating' in the lawyers' movement?

Some machuda Hindu and Muslim extremists killed each other in Gujarat and we're supposed to keep quit. What kinda logic is this?

tahmed32,

Dont tell me that u have anything good to tell abt Indians. This is (mutual criticism) part of the Chowk daily interactions. That's how it is and how it shud be.

If u cant handle criticism then better u ignore them. I cant stop u calling me anti-Pakistani or anti-Muslim. Go ahead.

Individual members make their own conclusions as to who is hatred-filled who's a normal interactor.

tahmed32,

I dont care if u are Ahmadi or a Lahori.

This machuda Chowk never publishes articles on Indian matters. So we Indian chowkies perforce talk abt the aricles that re published here.

If critism is what u call as hatred then just ignore my posts.

No rgds

Akram,

There's shades of opinions btw black and white. For Ahmed, all Indians are dark-minded and He's an angel incarnate.

I am not trageting individuals but the mindset. If that sounds like an abuse then I cant help it. It's the comprehension of some ppl that's shortcoming.

Calling the 'other' group as un-Islamis and 'enemies' of Pakistan is what I am oppsoing. If Islamism is the yardstick then he's no case at all.

The post s full of hatred and vengeance. I guess u'd treat them the same way they are treating u now (if u were in nuerical strength).

They suppress u or u suppress them. What a cycle of hatred u profess Mr. Ahmed! U also quote Islamiat to call them as enemies. If that is the case then I dont see any wrong in what they are doing now.

Another Lal Masjid in the Making?
Posted by VRV Jun 10, 2008 06:06 pm
eka,

U have a strange style putting ur points across. I got it ;)

Masood wanted to get relief from Tihar jail whereas Jamia Hafza cleric preferred martyrdom. Shahada is the MOST important covenant of true Muslims.

I always get an impression u r one. Kyon?

Masood Azhar and ISI i.e establishment are bosom buddies. Secondly, Masood was a confirmed coward. He wont sacrifice his life for Islam.

The fears of the author are far fetched (II Jamia Hafsa) but the Islamisation of Pakistan is a well documented fact.

Who's more important? Al-Lah or his peon Muhammed? I guess Pak momins seem to consider peon as the important figure. It's silly to think that God stopped sending messages after the last peon some 1400 yrs ago.

The last Peon is Great but al-Lah is the greatest.

P.S: Going by the utterances of many Pakistanis (Non-Ahmadis) that Ahmadis dont deserve any respect or status in Pakistan. They better reconcile to this fact.

They have to live like Muhammed and his creed in Manat's Arabia where Muhammed was the pariah-in-chief.
