tanvir zafar | 13 years ago | Reply will our public wake up now & recognise that just because a person has a beard doesn't automatically make him right or good.Our society has a problem that whenever we see a beard or a woman in burka we automatically assume that they must be good,pious people. Why don't we see the misogyny,intolerance,homophobia behind the beards & the burkas? These beards/burkas think that just because they follow medieval,rigid religious dogma that they are somehow better than the rest of us.The religious fundos are very self-righteous ever ready to declare which girl is of "good", "shareef" character & who's a slut based on whether she hides behind a black tent or covers up her "ever so sinful hair". The beards/burkas need to get out of their self created delusions.They are not better than us & it's time they realised that.

arif amjad | 13 years ago | Reply well,most of our anchors & newsreaders referred to osama bin laden as 'shaheed' , so what will we call our fallen soldiers?? will they be 'shaheed' enough for our ever-in-denial muslim fanatics?

muhammad adnan | 13 years ago | Reply hmmmm, who to call 'shaheed' now? must be a dilemna for our fundoos as the people killing our soldiers were also screaming " Allah ho akbar" and were killing in the path of islam & the soldiers killed were also muslims.This must be a problem for the brains of the fundoos to process. it's much easier for them to blame everything on the yahodis & the qadianis but it's time we took our heads out of the sand & faced reality,the ones killing thousands of our people believe they'll get 72 virgins in heaven.It's time we had a revision of the religious text to take out all glorification of violence & bloodshed & degradation & oppression of women. we've already lost 32000 of our people to the islamic terrorists,how many more must we lose because of religion??
