Why is the Government Dithering When it Should Stand Firm? Mr. Kamal is asking for writ of the govt from those people who dismissed the elected govt & challenge the writ of the elected PM.

People like Kamal are interested in bloodshed in Jamia Hafsa, thet are looking forward another ``Golden Templae`` where these ``worried people`` were vanished when American forces killed the innocent children in Bajore.

Why women rights forums don`t protest on this act, Hypocracy, nothing more

Women\'s Protection Bill is Not Enough Nuzhat Malik Sahiba,

Burqa Vaganza – A Satirical Backlash To get the real awareness of the historical background of ``Enlightment Moderation`` Pls read the article ``Soft Image`` from the following link.

The article is in Urdu

http://kashifhafeez.com/mazameen.php

Burqa Vaganza – A Satirical Backlash Mr. Gill & many other`s approaches are ``Stereo type``, nothing is new. It is the storey of last 1400 years, always ``Liberals`` wants to reshape Islam according to their own agenda.

They always used women for their own sexual & lusty satisfaction as ``Model Girl``
Please keep in mind `Hijab`` is never be the part of any culture. It is clear direction of Allah & nothing else.

No matter what the Ghalib say & it keeps no worth, if u endoreced Ghalib. We have to keep follow the Quran & Sunna.

Burqa Veginza is the out come of ill mentalilty & extremism of so called `Enlightened Persons``

If any prostitute used Burqa it doesn`t mean that Burqa is wrong, similarly if u are an educated person & u r aethist or liberal or secular or so called enlightened moderater, it doesn`t reflect that all educated persons are like u (Alhamdollilah)

Kiran ny ! Who told u that ``Mullah`` are not talking about ``women rights`` but definition of ur aspirations & actual need is different. The six Ulema committee have presented a complete document to Shujaat about Women right, but nudeness, vulgartity, mix gender gatherings are the wishes which are the true example of narrow appraches & mindness of `Liberals`

Kiran wrote ``Islam gives you the freedom to do what you can``, who told u that Islam give the freedom to do what u want to do on the name of `no compulsions`. No madam nopes, there are certain boundaries which u have to adapt, Muslim means ``Obedience` not ``Mr.Gill``.

The current write up of Mr. Gill is the true reflection of his `extremism` which is dangerous for healthy society.

Talibanization of Pakistan Those who can read Urdu, kindly visit the following liknk & read the very interesting article
published on 5th April ``Hikmat kee zaroorat``.

Thanks ! Happy reading

Reflections on the Virginia Tech School Tragedy Those who can read ``URDU``

should read a wonderful, readworthy article `` Nazaryatee Maqtal Gahain`` from

http://kashifhafeez.com/mazameen.php

Reclaiming the Middle Ground Saleem ! Basically u r confused & people like Nazar Hyat Khan also confused & misguided. U need the new version of Islam where every thing which is prohibited in Islam is allowed for u. Islam should limited to prayers, fasting & hajj, there is nothing more in Islam. Put all blames on Taliban & blaming that they are narrow minded people. Please read the following lines, is this a pseudo intellectualism, liberalism, enlightened modernity, progressive thoughts, reconstruction of Saleem`s Islamic thought, lack of knowledge or intentional effort to misguide.

``All ancient scriptures are outdated - not only Quran``
``Hadith is another culprit”
``Quran had banned only pork but now even alcohol is considered a banned item``

It is Never OK to Hit a Woman Ahmar ! Ur article is very interesting, but I am agreed with half of content. Dialogues are very important & essential, but times comes when there is need to stop the evil deeds like lewdness with power. I am completely agreed with u that our society is not extremist either towards Islam or either towards enlightened moderenation. We also become sentimental about `Mullah`. The word which we used commonly to blame all those who raised their voice against liberalism. The women who elected democratically & obderved hijab or pardah & become active & arguing at the same level with the women like Kishmala Traiq or other PPP parliament members, facing the crtique. What wrong in this that they are daughters or wives of elected members. The agreement in which women can`t vote in tribal area signed also by PPP, ANP, ML (Q & N), why u r just accusing MMA.

I didn`t come a cross any single article where any one criticize media specially TV Channels like TVOne, HUM, GEO on showing scene where women doing smoking & men are drinking wine. ARY showing a show where homosexuality was discussed. Now we can see open scene of kissing on dramas & music shows. Meera came on GEO in mini skirt. In Sindh TV, the culture which they are showing in their songs no where exist in Sindh. Skin tight trousers & open blouse shirts or sleeve less short t shirts are so common, which is not the reflection of society. Previously, we can see PTV drama with family, but now what are the topics of our Indian inspired dramas protestation, polygamy, mod girls (no connection with common society) violation and divorce. That’s why the channel like Masala is getting popularity where women can see the recopies of food

Boss ! This picture is more scary than the conceived picture of Mullah.

Now, its proven that those who drunk also beat wives, pls don`t put all blames just on Mullah

I, Consumer Farheen ! If u see the add of Olwell its not just like u described

`` a guy standing at his window, a pretty girl stepping out of her limo and some people working out in the gym``.

There is some thing more in this add. Being a marketer & advertising person, we should see & decide, what are the values & norms exist in the consumer world.

There is a HOT debate is continue on the marketing circles, regarding Olwell milk, kindly review one point of view in attached article. A MUST READ STRORY

Recognising Student Unions Dear Brother ! The real proved of ur lack of info is that u can`t differentiate b/w JTI & IJT.

No one can be declare as terrorist by just saying that u r a terrorist. U need proves at certain level.

I will advise u to understand the dynamics & history of student politics go to any nearest good book shop & asked him about Prof Waris Mier books on this topic.

Plesae be realized that slogan/ ethinic base organizations also believed on the concept of `Hold`` & violance & these types of organizations always feel difficulties & face real resistance & ghallenges with the ideological based organized setup on the discussion grounds. To avoid dialogies these organizations alwys tried to engaged ideological based organizations in clashes, in which most of the time they are successful.

Recognising Student Unions
Dear Brother !

You are just discussing the things just on the assumptions` with out any research or understanding the situation.

Who told u that ALL the student organizations are `Terrorist`. If you can`t distinguish between ideological based work & slogan based affiliations, then it is the problem of ur ability of understanding.

The `Assumption` that only the child of poor is terrorist. Recently, it has published in the Dawn that police caught red handed a milliner’s son. What happened in Princeton University?

Your point of view is just like with the today’s statement of our education minister in opening ceremony of Book fair in Karachi that our (basically his) history start from Moen Jo Daro.

The Clash of Stupidities Re# 52

Tehshah

``But that law as I said in my previous post could work only in a tribal, polygamous and slave-owning society.``

Boss ! You are so EXTREMIST & HARD LINER in ur perceptions, so no one can helo u. ``ntsyed`` also tried to explain u about truth & facts but it looks that u r determined to not to accept any logical point of view.

We can just wish u ,Good Luck

The Clash of Stupidities Islam and Muslims have long been accused of mistreating women. Whether it is by Orientalists, or the ``average Joe`` or Josephine relying on the media barrage of awful stereotypes to formulate his or her opinion.

Muslim men are perceived as violent, cruel and barbaric towards women in general, but especially towards their own wives, daughters and sisters.

The fact is that such disgusting behavior does occur in the Muslim world, for many of the same reasons it occurs in the United States: a cycle of abuse in the family, socio-economic factors and jealousy.

However, what could be said to distinguish women`s mistreatment in the Muslim world is the general lack of Islamic education amongst men and women about day-to-day matters, including the roles and rights of women.

Mistreatment and abuse of women, and wives in particular is condemned by Islam.

Consider the following Hadith narrated by Abu Huraira in Tirmidhi: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,``The one most perfect in his faith is he whose conduct is best and the best amongst you is he who behaves best towards his wife.``

Now consider the following the statistics about how many women are treated in the United States, taken from the 1995 National Crime Victimization Survey of the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Domestic Violence Hotline Fact Sheet and Statistics

HOW MANY ABUSED

WOMEN ARE THERE IN THE U.S.?

Women age 12 or older annually sustained almost 5

million violent victimizations in 1992 and 1993.

Women and girls ages 12 and up annually reported about 500,000 rapes and sexual assaults, almost 500,000 robberies, and about 3.8 million assaults.

WHO ARE THE ABUSERS

In 29% of all violence against women by a lone offender, the perpetrator was an intimate (husband,ex-husband, boyfriend or ex-boyfriend).

Women annually reported about 500,000 rapes and sexual assaults Friends or acquaintances of the victims committed over half of these rapes or sexual assaults. Strangers were responsible for about 1 in 5.

HONOR KILLINGS IN AMERICA?

Of the 5328 women murdered in 1990, FBI data indicate that about half or more of them by a husband or boyfriend.

VIOLENCE AMONG COUPLES

A minimum of 16 % of American couples experienced an assault during the year they were asked about it, and about 40% of these involved severely violent acts, such as kicking, biting, punching, choking, and attacks with weapons.

A 1993 national poll found that 34% of adults in the United States report having witnessed a man beating his wife or girlfriend and that 14% of women report that a husband or boyfriend has been violent with them.

THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE

CAUSED TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN BY ABUSE

During the last decade, domestic violence has been identified as one of the major causes of emergency room visits by women.

From 20% to 30% of the women who are seen by emergency room physicians exhibit at least one or more symptoms of physical abuse.

10% of the victims were pregnant at the time of abuse.

10% reported that their children had also been abused by the batterer.

THE ECONOMIC FACTOR IN WOMEN`S ABUSE

*Women aged 19 to 29 and women in families with incomes below $10,000 were more likely than other women to be victims of violence by an intimate.

Sources: 1995 National Crime Victimization Survey of the U.S. Department of Justice. You can order this Special Report (NCJ-154348) ``Violence Against Women: Estimates from the Redesigned Survey August 1995`` by calling the Bureau of Justice Statistics Clearinghouse, 800-732-3277and the National Domestic Violence Hotline Fact Sheet and Statistics.

The Clash of Stupidities After reviewing the article I come to the point, that there is noting NEW in this article or having any WOW effect. It is just a stereo type article, with the repeated arguments. The lack of information is also reflecting from this article. The sources of information of author are also very biased & limited.

The debate on `Role of Women” in Islamic society is not new. Those who morn over death of Dutch Film maker should have some psychiatry problem. Pls keep in mind; I am not in favor of any type of killing or murder. But what kind of `WORK`` she did should also be discussed.

Today news is that after France Denmark also posses ban on head scarf or Hijab in public places. Where are the women rights & human rights organization regarding this issue, what is their role? Is this not stupidity?????

I also want to quote the latest Gallup International survey of eight predominantly Muslim countries released on June 2006 in which they stated that “ Muslim women don’t think that they are conditioned to accept second class status or view themselves or oppressed’

More than. 8000 face to face interviews conducted in eight countries. According to poll

1. They should have the right to vote without influence
2. Work outside the home
3. Can serve in the highest level of govt.
4. They didn’t see the sex issue as priority because other issues were more pressing
5. They are “ worried” about the unity amongst Muslim countries
6. Their main concern are violence, political & economical corruption
7. They also believe that Western values can’t help in Muslim world political & economical terms
8. Gallup was shocked by mentioning in its report by commenting “ The hijab, the head scarf or Burqa, seen by West as tool of oppression, were never mentioned in women answers to the open ended questions
9. overwhelming majority of Pakistani women in this survey said religious beliefs was their country most admirable trait

Now after reading above all survey results issued form Washington DC any wise person can understand what the reality is what is wrongly portrait by pseudo intellectuals.
