At least she realizes finally that she has been dumb. Lives of many a western women have been spoiled by pakis like this. I am glad she knows better now and will educate those around her against the perils of getting involved with a paki. Hope she does not have a pakistan stamp on her passport.

This is a reflection of the kind of illusion that Nacy Pelosi and Company live in. Until they are caught with bomb in hand, even if they threaten you, you are supposed to smile and hope they will reform themselves...if they are caught with the bomb then switch to 'human rights, prisoner rights' breast-beating.

That society has become sick beyond repair and as we have an example of the Yadav clan in Mahabharat...

I agree with Archan Ji here. We are living in times where people think 10 times before opening their mouth's being politically incorrect is not at all tolerated in most societies especially with racial slurs or talking of murders etc. Here we have porkies that are sliding downhill in terms of being civilized and boasting about kiling infiedels and waging jeehads. The ironic part is most of these are not from pure land residents but from porkies who are citizens of UK & Canada. I am not sure if authorities in these countries monitor these comments in youtube but also on their pdf forum. I am sure unkil must be looking into these brainwashed war mongers.

SSridhar, great analysis. So in addition to external (against kafirs) and internal (self cleansing) jihad there is pure/halal (against kafirs) and impure/haram (pious on non-pious) jihad. Need to look up basic defn of Islamism for these actions. Isnt external jihad called "razza"?
Please blog it as we need to socialize/popularize the message.

archan, What is the need to bring in Yadavas and Mahabharat in this thread? This is TSP pure (pak) and simple lets not bring in other factors even as analogies as it dilutes the message.

A little bit of Piskology here: It is well known in psychology circles that most people who make irrational decisions, rationalize after the fact. More interestingly, the observers of someone making irrational decisions also go to great lengths to rationalize the actions after the fact. This need to rationalize & explain is as much an urge as anger, hunger & procreation -- and is considered by many to be the basis of scientific inquiry itself!

Expect a lot of smoke and mirrors from our Spy-lady and expect a lot of rationalizations from everybody and his uncle. Sometimes, some actions dont have an explanations -- it might just be bizarre, like a multimillion dollar earning ivy league massa Univ president cheating on his $50 taxi receipts and getting fired over it. (true story)

You have to accept that people just sometimes go nuts in their head. Their gender, age, religion, professional grievances might have nothing to do with it for them going nuts, but will all be invoked after the fact to rationalize them going nuts.

CP Snow said in the context of the mathematician GH Hardy that some of the Cambridge intellectuals had an irrational faith in the rational.

I am not being politically correct but I think I am honest when I say that a Hindu who has any political sense will have his sixth sense active while dealing with the pakis in a way most IMs can never be,because some of the fundamental issues would have been blunted by indoctrination.

I mean this as a retort if the distinguished poster Anujan was taking a shot at me.Otherwise Sir,please ignore.This has been noted by such great men like Gandhiji,Patel,Netaji,Bankim Chandra,Dr.Ambedkar.The last named cannot be accused as a Hindu fundamentalist.

Such worthies like Salman Haider,Saeed Mirza,Hamid Ansari,Aamir Khan,SRK,Javed Akhthar have never called Pakistan for what it is.Is it just coincidence when they are extraordinarily sensitive to real or imagined ills in Indian society.

SSridhar-ji,

While I applaud your two-types-of-jihad analysis, I must question your conclusion that the more pious (Taliban) are going to win against the less (PA). Jokes aside, the Paki army is still a mostly professional force with massive numbers, professional training and heavy conventional arms at their disposal (relative to the more pious). In a head-to-head conventional fight they will brutally crush the jihadi groups, whether TTP (of the Punjabi or Pashtun persuasion) or LeT, if it ever came to that. They might sustain heavy losses in doing so but there seems little doubt they would emerge the victors. At best the jihadis can hope for an on-going guerilla war that will bleed the PA, but that in and of itself will never be sufficient to achieve a decisive victory.

The only way I see the jihadis 'defeating' the PA is if they co-opt the latter such that the PA is transformed into an out-and-out jihadi outfit espousing Caliphate itself... something which was perhaps inconceivable in the past but appears more and more possible with each passing day.

ramana · Post by **ramana** » 03 May 2010 22:44

In a society governed by a book the literalist will prevail over the interpretist. So the poius will gain over the less pious. Unless there is reformation, which Ibn Rashid already ruled out in ~12th century. All reform in Islam is to the more hardline.

When the TSPA gets ~ 10-15 % fundoo they will switch over. The non-uniformed jihadis (so called Army of Allah) are the outside forces in league with the uniformed jihadis. Another way of saying is they are the irregular regulars.

While this POV appears logical at the outset, it fails the litmus test of an individual's will to fight (read willingness to use that training, equipment and strategy).

TSPA members (at all cadres) are brainwashed to believe that their nation is found on the basis on only one thing, that is Islam, and the sole objective of their and their organization's existence is to protect that Islamic state. When they are faced with the "convincingly" more islamic talibans, the professional organization of TSPA will collapse like a house of cards.

Kamboja-ji

It is not just in military battleground the more pious will prevail -- it is the fact that, like termites, they will chew away at the foundation of cohesion on which the Paki army is based on. If you recall, during Mush regime, care had to be taken to cast tellibunnies are Jews and Hindu collaborators to rally the regulars and irregulars. I think that the support given to Zion Hamid is also because of this reason -- Spread enough rumors about a Pakistan under religious and political seige and Jews/CIA/Hindus co-opting the taliban for nefarious purposes.

But this sort of deception has three shortcomings. (i) The TFTA soldiers might have friends & family among the more pious and will see through the propaganda (ii) The TFTA himself might be more pious and question the rationale of Pak army (iii) The TFTA might start thinking.

To keep the officer cadre motivated, the Pak army has relied on monitory incentives. Plum job postings after retirement, plots of lands. It is the abduls who are in danger of defection and mutiny. It has already happened among the FC (an entire battalion refusing to fight and an entire company surrendering). This will come to a head if they can find some idealogically pure captain/colonel to support their cause.

Kasab's home village slams Mumbai conviction

Farmers angrily denounced his conviction as a travesty of justice at the hands of “infidel” India on Monday.

“This is all against Pakistan. Ajmal is a child and he cannot commit this incident”

He was also angry at the acquittal of two Indian suspects. “Why was there no equal sentence for all the culprits and why has only Ajmal been declared a criminal?”

“It is discriminatory and it would be better to hand him over to Pakistan”

“This is wrong. India is biased,”

“Are they talking about our Ajmal? No. No. We don't know him” “But we have sympathies for him being Muslim.”

“Look, don't blame him. There is nothing wrong if he did it with good intentions against an infidel country like India,”

“India is doing bomb blasts in Pakistan and it has also blocked Pakistan's water,”

Before you all fly off the handle, please note that:

FARIDKOT: ...the remote impoverished home town

Around 10,000 people live in the town, most of them labourers and farmers, few of them literate.

“Definitely, the (Mumbai) incident created a bad impression for ......Faridkot,” the student said.

Fully agreed - I was thinking along similar lines when I mentioned that there is every possibility of PA tearing off the mask of secularism and revealing the 'inner jihadi'. I imagine another Zia, except more pious and more fundamentalist, seizing power would be the match to the tinderbox.

US completes transfer of funds to Pakistan govt
http://www.thepakistaninewspaper.com/ne ... p?id=16642

ISLAMABAD, May 03: The US completed a transfer of $656 million to the Government of Pakistan today for some of the costs incurred while conducting counterinsurgency operations against militants in 2009. The reimbursements, known as the Coalition Support Fund are intended to aid in Pakistan’s fight against terrorists and in achieving the mutually shared goals of peace and stability in Pakistan and in the region. The Coalition Support Fund was established by the United States in 2001 to support 27 nations, including Pakistan, for some of the costs they incur in the fight against terrorists. Since 2001, the United States has reimbursed approximately $7.2 billion. The last CSF payment was delivered to Pakistan in January and included a $349 million reimbursement for all validated CSF claims received from Pakistan for the year 2008.

Verdict on Kasab's case to complicate Pak-India relations: Rashid

Chairman Awami Muslim League (AML), Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said that the verdict on Ajmal Kasab's case would further complicate Pak-India relations.
A special Indian court had declared Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone survivor of 26/11 Mumbai attacks, guilty on 83 of 86 charges against him
Talking to a private TV channel, the Chairman AML said that tension between the two countries would be increased as core issue of Kashmir and water issue is still unresolved and no talks are underway. Sheikh Rashid Ahmed further said that the world is eying on Mumbai case and Pakistan's Foreign Office should present its point of view after verdict on Kasab's case. Responding to a question, the veteran politician said that Pakistan should provide legal help to Ajmal Kasab, as he is a Pakistani citizen.

That is a possibility.

But then how would Zia II prove his more-pious credentials? By doing a JDAM on India? It means nothing.

To prove his purest credentials Zia II has to take the JDAM all the way across Atlantic. What would Unkil do, read the india==pak peace nonsense to his domestic audience?

Asha: illusion of peace
By Basharat Hussain Qizilbash |
Lahore is a welcoming city and Lahoris by nature are kind and generous. That is why the Indian delegation holding peace parleys in connection with the Aman Ki Asha initiative received a patient hearing. However, the mindful Lahoris have not forgotten that back in 1965, at the time of the Indo-Pak war, the Indians made a desperate attempt to capture this city because their Premier Lal Bahadur Shastri had commanded his Chief of Army Staff General J N Chaudhri in unambiguous words: “I want to take Lahore before they reach Srinagar.” Such unofficial Indian peaceniks enjoying covert official patronage, have been visiting Pakistan in the past as well and their line of thinking vis-à-vis the Indo-Pak issues has been quite stale: they put premium on the resolution of issues other than Kashmir, the modus operandi being the same i.e. more people-to-people contact. In other words, it is the same old wine in the new bottles.
In the last four decades, Pakistan has contributed much more in terms of ideas and suggestions to reduce militar-isation and nuclearisation, it is the Indian leaders that have been giving the cold shoulder. It is high time that such ‘peace delegations’ before venturing to Pakistan understood that peace cannot be thrusted down the throats. In fact, lasting amity can only be ensured if the other nations of the region would be given the chance to live with honour and dignity; otherwise Aman Ki Asha would remain an illusive dream.

Did they not claim Kasab was Kasturi lal from Kolkatta?

http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/daw ... rer--bi-03

MUMBAI: Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab was a school drop-out who now faces the death penalty for taking part in the bloodiest episode of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The 22-year-old Pakistani national was one of two heavily armed gunmen who opened fire and threw hand grenades at the city's main railway station on November 26, 2008, killing 52 people and wounding more than 100.Biographical details are sketchy but those that have come to light show that Kasab was born and brought up in Faridkot, in the Punjab region of Pakistan.His father, Mohammed Amir Iman, ran a food stall in the village and his mother was called Noor, according to the local electoral roll.Kasab dropped out of school in 2000 and worked as a labourer in the eastern city of Lahore until 2005, according to his initial confession to police, which was widely published in India.Kasab has reportedly said he joined the LeT to get weapons training after deciding to embark on a life of crime but there have also been claims that his father duped him into doing it for money.The prosecution characterised Kasab as a shrewd and calculating operative while security experts said his poor, rural background and lack of education made him more susceptible to grooming by extremists.His former lawyer suggested he may even have been brainwashed into carrying out the attacks.
One Faridkot farmer reportedly said that Kasab used to return to the village and talk of “freeing Kashmir”.

Neglect on basis of religion
Monday, 03 May, 2010 This is apropos of the article ‘Degrees of neglect’ (April 29) by Murtaza Razvi .
The sad state of archaeological sites in Pakistan (and India) is indeed a tragedy. Especially sad are those sites ‘not associated with religion’ as the writer puts it, referring to Moenjodaro and other places. While he asks the question as to why this neglect exists, he has perhaps inadvertently provided the answer also. He has hit the nail on the head when he talks about the extreme neglect of sites ‘not associated with religion’. The people of Pakistan are torn between a desire to acknowledge their pre-Islamic past and a desire to believe that there was nothing there before Islam came to those lands. There is a lot of confusion in what exactly was ‘Hindu’. Simple people have quantified ‘all that is not Islamic’ as ‘Hindu’ and thus deserving the contempt of Muslims. I have often wondered why an Egyptian Muslim can feel proud of his pagan past whereas an Indian or Pakistani Muslim is so uncomfortable about it? Talk to any Egyptian about his or her heritage, and they are very proud of the Pharaohs. This is despite the fact that the Pharaohs are vilified in the Old testament, considered to be Holy by Muslims. All great monuments of Egypt are either temples of idol worshipers or burial chambers of deified kings or queens. The only reason I can think of is that perhaps the fact that they all converted to Islam makes it easier for Egyptians to forgive their pagan ancestors, and since it poses no threat to Islam today, it may even be easier to be proud of a pagan past. In other words, had there been no surviving Hindus in India, it would have been easier for Muslims to accept the pre-Islamic history of India as their own and even be proud of it. Intellectuals may debate as to why Pakistan was created, but the fact remains that the dislike of all things Hindu was (and still is) quite intense in Pakistan, and in all candour, among Muslims in India as well. So even in India where the relationship between Hindus and Muslims is supposedly more amicable, if there is scant acknowledgement of the Hindu civilisation and its heritage among the Muslims, is it any wonder that in Pakistan they could not care less about Moenjodaro?

Blackwater is operating in Pakistan
http://rebelreports.com/post/569103736/ ... pe-exposed

Erik Prince, the reclusive owner of the Blackwater empire, rarely gives public speeches and when he does he attempts to ban journalists from attending and forbids recording or videotaping of his remarks.....

...Despite Prince’s attempts to shield his speeches from public scrutiny, The Nation magazine has obtained an audio recording of a recent, private speech delivered by Prince to a friendly audience. The speech, which Prince attempted to keep from public consumption, provides a stunning glimpse into his views and future plans and reveals details of previously undisclosed activities of Blackwater.

....Prince spoke of Blackwater working in Pakistan, which appears to contradict the official, public Blackwater and US government line that Blackwater is not in Pakistan.

....The speech was delivered January 14 at the University of Michigan in front of an audience of entrepreneurs, ROTC commanders and cadets, businesspeople and military veterans. The speech was titled “Overcoming Adversity: Leadership at the Tip of the Spear” and was sponsored by the Young Presidents’ Association (YPO), a business networking association primarily made up of corporate executives.

HOWEVER, the piece on Pakistan is only so much

Prince scornfully dismissed the debate on whether armed individuals working for Blackwater could be classified as “unlawful combatants” who are ineligible for protection under the Geneva Convention. “You know, people ask me that all the time, ‘Aren’t you concerned that you folks aren’t covered under the Geneva Convention in [operating] in the likes of Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan? And I say, ‘Absolutely not,’ because these people, they crawled out of the sewer and they have a 1200 AD mentality. They’re barbarians. They don’t know where Geneva is, let alone that there was a convention there.”

It is significant that Prince mentioned his company operating in Pakistan given that Blackwater, the US government and the Pakistan government have all denied Blackwater works in Pakistan.

In fact, I'd say the 1200 AD mentality rules out Pakistan. They have a 700 AD mentality.

US used to have a one drop racist policy where as long as one has even one drop of black blood, one is a black.
Now US needs to have a one drop policy against TSP if it needs to be safe.

As long as anyone has even one drop of Paki blood, he/she is deemed a terrorist.
