My dear friend and a fellow buzzer Postman once asked, if I consider 'every person with a beard a Mullah?' 'No, because we know comrades also have beards', I responded. I also explained that Mullah is a person with specific mental state of shallowness and that it can exist in any person with or without a beard, can be a Muslim or a non-Muslim. A prominent non-Muslim Mullah without a beard is George Walker Bush. I also gave him examples of Muslim Mullahs that we know off and who does not have beards. So how does one actually determine a Mullah? This is how I examine a person, if it is a Mullah: To determine if a person is a Mullah we need to examine a peculiar behavior pattern in that individual. To start with, this person cannot have a logical debate for more then two to three posts and is therefore prone to get involved in cyclic arguments, repeating his/her statements over and again, going in circles. The primary cause of this phenomenon is rooted in fact that these guys have very shallow brains and limited knowledge of all subject matters, including Islam (religion). Once contradicted in a logical fashion, giving a well grounded counter argument to their silly assertions, they are quite prone to get aggressive and will instead of responding through a knowledgeable argument are likely to grow hostile towards people who have outsmart them. It is very typical of them to call people names. Starting with relatively simply ones like Abu Jahl, Abu Jandal, Abu Bakar, Abu from Sindhbad, finally raising the scale to next level calling names like Russi (Russian) agent, Umreki (America's) agent, Hindustani (India) agent, Yodi (Israeli) agent etc. On hight of their helplessness they may also label opponent as a Kafr (Infidal) and call for immediate elimination. Since now things have slightly changed i.e. relatively advanced. Luckily we can take them on from over the Internet, in safety of our homes and the maximum damage they will cause us, at hight of their frustration, is to blow themselves up at a school, a park or a Shai mosque. In their hay (early) days their rage instead of resulting in self destruction, used to result in assassination of the opponents. We have a number of evidences, small incidents, where a few opponents were abducted, tortured and assassinated in Punjab University hostels too the very large scale ones like massacre of Ahmadis, Bangalis, Shias at. al. Iraq occupation by US is a classic textbook example of a non-Muslim Mullah showing aggression at a large scale. I hope that this will help my dear Postman and other buzzers to distinguish a Mullah (bearded or otherwise and Muslim or otherwise) from a none Mullah
Ever had an opportunity appearing in a district courts, especially after the time since judiciary has been set FREE?
Poor Shabir Tangaywala thought that FREE judiciary means he no longer will be required to pay Rs. 100 bribe at his each judicial hearing. He cancelled his school pick and drop service to participate in every Wukla (Lawyer) protests. Doing his cost and benefit analysis, he calculated his losses will finally be compensated under FREE judiciary, when no longer he will be asked to pay for the Chai Panni before entering through the old wooden door of court room no. 2 at Model Town Kachari.
Poor bugger, only now has he discovered that FREE judiciary means it would be FREE only at the Raiwand palaces. For the Tangawalas the bribe rate has been revised to Rs. 150 at each judicial hearing since the restoration of our dearest and FREE judges.
Long live FREE Judiciary.
Kepish!!!!
There is web of myths being knitted in Mullah factories now a days. They are busy cooking all sorts of tales of innocent people being killed by army in Swat and FATA. The purpose is to put enough pressure on Pakistan armed forces, so the operation is ended prematurely and Taliban can find much needed breathing space.
A similar web of conspiracy theories was also knitted at the time of Lal Mosque operation, including the most bizarre one about some thousand kids killed at Lal mosque by the armed forces.
Any sane mind must at least inquire, for those thousand kids who were allegedly killed in Lal mosque operation, there should at least be 2000 parents, 4000 grandparents, a few thousand siblings, uncle and aunts. If there were those thousand kids actually killed in Lal mosque operation then where have these thousands of relatives disappeared? Shouldn't there be these 10 to 15 thousand relatives marching on the streets of Islamabad holding pictures of their kids (Palestine style) demanding for justice?
I remember another Mullah myth from early days. When I was young kid there was a myth about polio drops being birth control medicines fed to Pakistani children as part of Jewish conspiracy so Muslim population can be reduced and Jews can take over the world.
Interestingly, both me and my wife took those drops when young and are proud parents to a beautiful 4 year old girl today. Those who refused must be lumping around somewhere cursing themselves and the Mullahs for their follies.
Moral of the story: Use your brains to think and let the nuts be nuts.
It is time to breathe new life into this blog!
The news really worth putting down here (and everywhere else I can) is that I'm finally a graduate! Well not officially but I just gave my last paper yesterday and I can safely say I will >.> ... Really have to admit this phase of studies does head you into the most horrible precipice. Can't be more glad Im done with it!
Now I am eagerly waiting for my gamecard so I can make my much-anticipated return to WoW and I will be trying to update this blog regularly. Most of which is likely to be geared towards in-game progress and happenings probably, atleast for a couple of months to come. Ofcourse I'll be chipping in other stuff too whenever I feel like it, no boundries.
Various news reports from Pakistan brought to my attention these self appointed moral policemen walking up to women in Karachi telling them to cover up their heads, which according to them is being required of women in Quran. Of course and why not? They are doing the job assigned to them by Allah and our divine text, a noble task indeed. I decided to support and contribute in this holy task by forcing my own mom, sister, wife and daughter to cover up using Burkas.
This however will require me some research. I will need help in order to convince my winging wife, first and foremost, let alone my sister and mom, who treat me as a complete idiot. But while googling over the internet, instead I discovered this individual, Queen Rania of Jordan, who calls herself a devout Muslim, offers prayers five times a day and yet wear sleeve less shirts and knee high skirts. I thought, isn't it a contradiction, calling herself a devout Muslim, offering all prayers and yet wearing skirts, showing off her legs, arms, shoulders and even abdomen at times? Shouldn't she at least wear a Hijab to cover up her head, if not a complete Burka, in order to call herself a devout Muslim? How can she be a devout Muslim, while she is violating Quran on its basic famine dress code?
Outraged with her hypocrisies, I extending my research, deciding to contradict Rania through direct quotes from Quran on women dress code and then post a webcast on her youtube channel, exposing her to the entire world.
Using indexes, I could only find one such verse stating dressing requirements for Muslim women as follow:
24.31 “Enjoin believing women to turn their eyes away from temptation and to preserve their chastity; not to display their adornments; to draw their veils over their bosoms and not to display their finery except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' father, their sons, their step-sons, their slave-girls; male attendants lacking in natural vigor, and children who have no carnal knowledge of women. And let them not stamp feet when walking so as to reveal their hidden trinkets”
As a standard exercise for my better understanding of Quran, I broke Surah into smaller more manageable portions and used an English dictionary to aid myself in developing better understanding of it. The results however did not help and instead pointed in completely opposite direction:
“Enjoin believing women to turn their eyes away from temptation and to preserve their chastity.”
Turning eyes away from temptation (and not men, let alone locking behind closed doors) and preserve chastity (chastity means purity or virginity). Common knowledge tells that wearing skirts and short sleeves does not results in loss of virginity. If I can think of this then so can my wife, mom and sissy, so no help here.
“not to display their adornments; to draw their veils over their bosoms and not to display their finery”
Adornments means ornaments, jewelry or other accessories, drawing veils over bosoms means covering their breasts (not head, not arms, not legs, not shoulders or abdomen but only BREASTS) and not to display their finery, meaning fine or fancy clothing. Damn! Again nothing to help me convince mom, sissy or the master winger.
“except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' father, their sons, their step-sons, their slave-girls; male attendants lacking in natural vigor, and children who have no carnal knowledge of women.”
These are the exceptions where women can actually show off their jewelry or fancy clothings. To all other individuals, they can't show off . I thought, 'hmm! interesting, if applied smartly, can help me at least save some shopping expenses.'
“And let them not stamp feet when walking so as to reveal their hidden trinkets”
To stamp feet when walking so as to reveal their hidden trinket (trinkets meaning small ornaments or small pieces of jewelry).
So all help I could get from Quran was that they must not wear jewelry and fancy clothings while leaving home but still don't have to cover head, putting a Burka or to stay indoors. Even worse, they now have complete legitimacy to wear clothings showing off arms, legs and even abdomen. Grrrr....
Ashamed and outraged, I decided to turn my guns towards so called Muslim “Ulmaz”, who have somehow managed to deceive me and many others into believing in this complete absurd concept of forcing women into head to toe Burka as being Quranic.
What I could not understand after all this exercise was that how this rather straight forward Surah was translated into something that resulted in locking up our women indoors, asking them to cover up head to toe and bar them from talking to men etc.? And that, if for a while we assume our women are actually violating Islamic dress code, where in Quran did it state that we guys can self-appoint ourselves as moral policemen and walk up to women asking them to cover up?
Didn't Quran tell “Enjoin believing men to turn their eyes away from temptation and to restrain their carnal desire” instead of appointing themselves as moral policemen and walking up to these perfectly rightful women and telling them what they are required to wear? Isn't this in itself a gross violation of Quran?
Still glad though that we guys have this option of Googling over the Internet now a days and to save ourselves of embarrassment of being outsmart by women.
Life isn't treating us well...ah but then I should be used to it by now!
Watching Subha grow everyday makes me realize that she is THE best thing ever happened to me...
And I am pretty sure It will be THE best thing, always.
I am tired, yes very tired. I don't know why because life is not as hard as before. maybe its just me going back to my old self and you know what I have been to this happy-go-lucky world... doesn't work for me atleast. I just don't have the nerve for it..or do you even need a nerve for that?
