Pakis' privileging of the written word also explains some of the educated pakis' disdain for indics and their cognitive dissonant rage at indics' accomplishments, e.g. Salman Taseer's childish taunts about our space program. We are suppoosed to be oral-culture primitives, and they, the owners of the miracle technology of writing.

From Ayesha Siddiqi's article:
For instance, in Punjab alone there are five large cities (population around 10 million), 15 intermediate cities (population around five million), 74 small cities (population around one million), and 114 towns (population less than 50,000).
5 * 10 million = 50 million
15 * 5 million = 75 million
74 * 1 million = 74 million
Not counting the towns, the total is already 199 million.
Even if "around" means 50%, the urban population of Punjab is 100 million.
Am I hallucinating?
Numeracy is at a premium in Pakistan?
Better economic progress is bound to tackle the problem of militancy, which is adding to Pakistan’s poor image and is a consequence of poor governance, poverty and rampant feudalism.
Which other country thinks that the primary problem caused by internal violence is the loss of image? And this is from someone who faces social ostracism for her critique of the Pakistani Army. Truly difficult to rise out of one's environment.

Ramana has it exactly right. Siddiqa is NOT saying that Wahhabism is a sign of modernism. Instead, she is saying that in TSP, those middle classes that may look outwardly 'modern' i.e Western clothes, burger joint hopping etc. are the engine that drives the spread of Wahhabism and Deobandi mentalities. When you add to this the breakdown of feudal/tribal institutions and a military that supports the urbanised jihadis, you have an irresistable force.

BTW, you cannot expect a TSPian who cares about his/her life to say Islam is a cage or things of that sort. Heck, few people even in the West dare say such things openly for the fear of the cutlet.

I have not yet read the Siddiqa article, but from the comments here on it one thing stands out to me. It is the absence of a non-feudal ideological elite in the land of Pakhanas.

Any normal country would have a ratio of these two. A bunch of rich people behaving like feudal lords form the feudal elite. A bunch of leaders of the people, not because they are rich but because they have ideas that resonate to the people. In India, people like JP, Anna etc take up that role. They almost always oppose the feudal elite and act as a sanity check on the nation.

As mentioned above by Sridhar, the pirs who were supposed to be the ideological elites have converted themselves into feudal lords, and have their survival and existential needs which are same as any other member of the feudal elite.

There is no sanity check mechanism in Pakhanastan. The people are entirely controlled by the feudal elite. There is no one, absolutely no one, to voice the needs of the SDRE poor as was clear in the aftermath of the floods. It makes me believe that the slide of Pakhanastanis into Pakhana is not reversible. The need for finding more purity is also not reversible. They will keep finding more and more ways to finish off the impure.

We must make sure that none of the sewage flows accross the border walls into India.

LHC moved against Zardari
The Lahore High Court has been moved to restrain Asif Ali Zardari from holding the constitutional position of President of Pakistan and to perform any duties attached with this important office. A citizen, Hafiz Muhammad Asim, filed a petition through Advocate Muhammad Azhar Siddique seeking interpretation of Article 47 of the Constitution after a recent statement of the President wherein he said: “If Article 47 is invoked, he would not accept the Constitution.” Petitioner termed the statement a high reason within the meaning of Article 6 of the Constitution.

Ahmak Paki Mocking Massa
On its English language site, Pakistan Kakhuda Hafiz (PKH) published the following picture (via @SarmandGilani). PKH says American soldiers have no problem with the shortage of fuel and ammunition as they don't have to "go out and fight as often," but troops "can't stand" the fried chicken and french fry shortage plaguing American bases in Afghanistan.

Other than Presidential elections, the American public doesn't have any independent thinking. Whatever Govt does they think is in their interest. Recent Occupy Wallstreet and all were an aberration.

Re Ayesha Siddiqa's theory, I believe what she means is that in TSP, radical Wahhabi/Deobandi mindset is largely promoted by the well off urban middle class types, who also enjoy some of the fruits of economic modernization. In contrast, the so called moderate Sufism is largely a rural/fedual preserve. In other words, the same people who look modern on the surface, with new cars, families in the West, engineering, law, medicine type education etc. are the same ones who propagate jihadi views the most. There's even a term for this - "burger jihadis". BTW, virtually all of LeT/JeM commander types belong to this class. This is why the urban bourgeouisie were throwing rose petals at Mumtaz Qadri.
Rangudu, thanks. You are quite right about the modern-looking Pakistanis being fiercely Wahhabis underneath. Ramzi Yousuf to KSM to Omar Saeed Sheikh, the London 7/7 attackers to DCH to Times Square bomber to that Lodhi guy in Sydney and scores in between were all 'Pakistani burger jihadis' (will remember this term). Even if all of them are not, they all are most certainly against India. The well heeled are also better educated and like communism/Marxism appealing to a lot of well educated people, wahhabism may also be attractive to them. The Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) attracts well educated guys in thousands especially in the UK and Pakistan. In Egypt, Ikhwan-ul-Muslimeen has the same magnetic power.

However, the reason I said what I said in my earlier post was that she wrote
Deobandi and Wahabi Islam, as opposed to Sufi and Barelvi Islam, have textual basis and offer a form of modernity. Allama Mohammad Iqbal, the poet-philosopher of Pakistan, also recognised this factor. He found orthodox religion as having greater capacity to respond to the needs of establishing a modern state.
Allama Iqbal says "Because of this freedom there will be a renaissance of the Deen. The revived Deen will be closer to spirit of the modern times." But, as events in Pakistan so quickly and clearly showed, the Deen was split along sectarian lines and rather than a renaissance, the Deen went into a downward spiral. This was one aspect all those who call for an Islamist rule clearly forget or feign as unimportant or manageable until the reality hits them hard. What brand of Islam and which school of Koranic codification ? All that unification against the kufr had unravelled as quickly as the kufr was taken care of. Islam is the most divided religion. Jinnah even believed that Islam was not a religion, but a nation. And that was his basis for two nations. Such confusion.

Some of the burger jihadis might think that the end justified the means and so can manipulate the Wahhabi/Deobandi/Ahl-e-Hadiths because they can be later controlled after achieving the end. This is like the thinking of the PA when it spawned all those terrorist outfits. Things worked well for some time but we know what happened then.

The troubling thing is that, unlike what Ms. Siddiqa says, the 'textual basis' of Wahhabism or Deobandism, by itself, cannot offer 'modernity'. It is the re-interpretation of the text in changing times that will offer modernity. By their own admission, the Wahhabis and Deobandis want to lead the way exactly like the salaf.
Also, I've seen Siddiqa argue the above in part to discredit the Anatol Lieven type Western "experts" who try to fool others by confusing outward symbols of 'modernity' like jeans and cars with liberalism.
That is very correct of her to do so. Another myth that must be repeatedly busted is the often repeated 'Islamists do not get any seats in elections, anyway. What are we worried about ?' that the 'burger jihadis' propagate in the Western media to fool everyone. There are several reasons why the Islamist parties do not win many votes in elections. The military, biradari system, general voter apathy, rigging, political alignments, jiyalas etc. Also, a party like the JI, for example, is not so well disposed off towards democratic elections. However, they all enjoy a disproportionate clout over the government, the military and the society (or even internationally). If they choose a particular line of reasoning in any matter, that stands.

SSridhar wrote:Islam is the most divided religion.
A humble nitpick: Islam is not anymore divided then other religions and creeds. Human thinking is such that all people can never agree to one thing at all times. This is impossible even in a tight-knit small groups. So, to expect an entire creed to profess a single view in all things at all times seems a bit foolish. But this is exactly the condition placed by Islam. Islam rejects any diversity of thought and encourages its mullahs to enforce uniformity of thought. This creates the problems for an islamic society. Because no dissent is tolerated and no diversity is allowed. It starts from bigger differences and proceeds to minutest and irrelevant theological details.

In a society where muslims live with other non-muslims, the biggest difference is with the Kafirs. So, the muslim society can be united against the Kafir ignoring the internal differences. But in a society made up of predominantly muslims, the differences among the muslims is taken seriously. This leads to sectarian violence. But this is no end. If one sects succeeds in eliminating the other sect, even then the violence wont end. Because some other difference within the sect will soon create factions that will fight further. This is a process that will go ad infitum.

To be fair to Islam, this trait has been picked up by it from Christianity which has its roots in Judaism. All the three religions exhibit this feature. Christianity and Judaism have suffered due to the falling 'faith' of its adherents. And since the state promotes free speech, these two religions have been subjected to inspection and have been forced to accommodate. Christianity, in particular, has been subjected to harsh but well-deserved criticism which has somewhat curbed the theological intolerance in clergy(atleast outwardly).

Islam has escaped inspection and criticism by simply refusing to accept free speech even in countries that are not ruled by Islamists.

of course during those days you had also pointed out how the pirs were land holders themselves.
shaardula, yes, I do remember that episode. Those were some sporadic incidents that were not sustained. There were some scores to be settled with some 'khans' perhaps who probably resisted the Taliban or didn't fund them enough. Or, some Talibani foot soldier from that area had a grouse with the Khan and settled scores at an opportune time. Land reform will never be done in Pakistan. Before the secession of East Pakistan, they had already done major land reforms there by the end of the 50s, but not West Pakistan. The East Pakistanis had socialist leanings and were far less Islamist at that time. There was such a huge gap in principles of governance within the two wings of Pakistan. Adding to the religious angle is the sense of 'entitlement' that the British developed among the Punjabis. There was no such policy in Bengal, as in the rest of India too.

Just finished watching the BBC documentary on the Paki secret war. You've got to love the Americans and the Brits. When they whine, they make it sound that it is the Paki alone who is bad. As if the Yanks and the Brits have nothing to do with it.But its fun to sit back and watch 2 duplicitous and inherently dishonest nations fight with each other. Both currently are facing takleef due to their past karma. The Yanks for their "freedom" agenda (read American world domination) and Pakistan for their "sovereignity" (read Paki jihadi Islamist ideology.)

Allah be praised! Veena has been found! :D
Controversial Pakistani actor Veena Malik, who had gone 'missing' from Friday morning while shooting for a film in Goregaon, has been found at a hotel in Juhu in suburban Mumbai. The actor is found in Oakwood hotel, where she registered by her real name Zahida :eek: .
So Veena is actually Zahida. And Meera is actually Irtaza.
What's the deal with Paki Muslim wimmens changing burqa to dirty kafir names while indulging in waahiyaath activities??

Must be some new form of taqqiya. I wouldn't be surprised if Gilly Groper changing his name to Gulshan :twisted: before maalishing Sherry.
Come to think of it... Sherry is the Kafir burqa of Shehrbano.

Marine mom protests Pakistan-made gifts
A moto Marine mom is taking the National Museum of the Marine Corps to task for its gift shop offerings, specifically fleece jackets made in Pakistan.

Leah Petrilli, whose son is serving in Afghanistan, said she was shocked when perusing the outerwear during a recent visit to the museum in Triangle, Va. Intending to buy a fleece for her niece, the Dormont, Pa., resident found only “Made in Pakistan” labels.
:mrgreen:
Petrilli was so upset she sent the museum an email explaining her concerns.

“Pakistan’s resolve and commitment to the Global War on Terror is well-known to be questionable at best and suspect at worst,” Petrilli wrote. She went on to say, “I would ask that you re-evaluate this line of clothing being offered for sale in the gift shop. To be blunt, I found it to be a slap in the face not only to my son, but to every U.S. Marine and U.S. service member fighting the GWOT.”

Pakistan: another Christian accused of blasphemy by burning Koran
The Archdiocese of Lahore in Pakistan has denied reports that a 24-year-old Catholic burned pages of the Koran. Allegations that Khuram Masih destroyed part of the Muslim holy book are baseless – and many media reports of the case are inaccurate – a spokesman for the archdiocese told Aid to the Church in Need.

The spokesman said Mr Masih was arrested on 6 December, having been falsely accused by his Hindu girlfriend, who he had been living with “out of wedlock”, as his parents strongly objected to the wedding.

According to the archdiocese, the family of the Muslim owner of the house in which the couple was living put pressure on the young woman – blackmailing her after she would not convert to Islam, by threatening her with stoning for “living in sin”. Told she would be killed if she did not cooperate, Mr Masih’s Hindu girlfriend was forced to call the police and accuse him of burning pages from the Qur’an to cook tea over the fire.

When the police failed to find Mr Masih at home, they arrested his nephew. Khuram Masih then went to the police station in order to find out what was going on, but by that time a mob had gathered in front of the station wanting to set fire to the building and kill him. At present, the young man is in jail awaiting his trial.

While other versions of Khuram Masih’s arrest have been published by numerous media outlets, in which he is accused of burning the pages when disposing of rubbish from a building job, the diocese’s spokesman dismissed these as inaccurate.

A Pakistani Muslim attorney who defends victims against accusations of blasphemy, but whose name cannot because of fears of attack, told Aid to the Church in Need earlier this month that 95 percent of all blasphemy allegations are false, and made with the intention of harming or taking revenge on someone.

Under Pakistan’s blasphemy law, which was intorduced in 1986, insulting the Qur’an can be punished by life imprisonment, and insulting the Prophet Mohammed is punishable by death.

According to the Catholic Church’s Commission for Justice and Peace of the Catholic Church in Pakistan, which documents these cases, 38 persons, including 14 Christians, were accused of blasphemy last year.

Aid to the Church in Need supports the work of the Commission, which among other things finances legal representation for indigent defendants.

Today's Paki-delusion brought to you by Lal Khan

1971: East Bengal revisited
It is a myth that the Pakistan Army was defeated by the Indian military aggression. It was already paralysed by the mass uprising, general strikes and the armed struggle of the Mukti Bahini and left-wing groups. The Indian invasion was primarily aimed to crush the workers and peasants’ councils or soviets that mushroomed and had taken over the administrative and judicial control in the areas that had been liberated from the Pakistan state.
