Pakistan's mosques, media and intolerance

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has been fighting militants for years, but tough
measures are needed to overturn a system breeding religious
intolerance after the long failure of authorities to confront mullahs
and hardline groups.

Analysts say the notion of religious mistrust is deeply entrenched in
the predominatly Muslim country - even in the school system - and it
is now up to leaders to mobilise public.

Last week's massacre in the city of Lahore of more than 80 Ahmadis has
generated a heated debate in Pakistan, a US ally, on how to tackle the
issue.

In a sign of how hatred is propagated, The News newspaper said one of
the two surviving gunmen caught by security forces said he had been
persuaded that Ahmadis were "blaspheming" Islam.

Identified as Abdullah, he told investigators that his mentors had him
believe that Ahmadis were drawing caricatures of Prophet Mohammad
(PBUH) during a recent online contest and "so their bloodshed was a
great service to Islam", the newspaper said.

That raised alarm bells in a country combatting militancy.

Muhammad Javed Ekball, your post would have been more complete if you

Taliban's or Sharia Law's generous treatment of women.

You have a personal reason to be partial toward Taliban and Sharia
Law. If the Karachi Court had discounted Asmaa's eyewitness testimony
and had insisted on 4 male witnesses to your bestiality you would not
have got off so lightly for sexually abusing Pyare.

"How did Israelis get the bright idea to
migrate to a piece of land that was already

by Arab countries?"

Well, on your level of historical studies
(apparently) there's a marvy movie that
explains it: "The Ten Commandments." It's
the Jewish Torah ... and "your' Bible too.

HELEN THOMAS, I SALUTE YOU. YOU DID NOT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO KEEP A
DIRTY EMPLOYER.
By Aviroce

HELEN THOMAS, I salute you. You should never have apologized to keep
a contract with Jews and say and write against your conscience.

HELEN THOMAS, I salute you. You do not have to listen to the White
House to rebuke you for your remarks based on facts. The White House
know s full and well that these Jews in occupied Palestine belong
somewhere else. But this White House is under the influence of a
long
standing policy based on establishing a state of Israel as a colony
in
Palestine to weaken Arab and Muslim resolve.

HELEN THOMAS, I salute you. I salute the courage, spontaneity,
integrity and truth in your comments and writings. You don’t need
any of these people. You are the most standup citizen in the United
States of America.

Camels Triumph Over Soviet and USA Bombers Brings Bad News:

In the end, vast technological superiority was not enough to conquer
one of the world’s poorest countries.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=avJZLOqNeMsI
Interview by Lewis Lapham

Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- When the Soviet Union invaded their country in
December 1979, Afghan fighters took to the hills. Traveling with
mules, camels and old trucks, the mujahideen fought back with whatever
they had: rifles, grenade launchers, antitank mines and, later, U.S.-
supplied Stinger missiles.

As the war progressed, the Red Army built a dozen air bases and
brought in turboprop transports, jet fighters and bombers. Armor-
plated helicopters, like the Mi-24, carrying cannon, rockets and
machine guns were used to ambush resistance fighters and carpet-bomb
enemy areas.

In the end, vast technological superiority was not enough to conquer
one of the world’s poorest countries. Mikhail Gorbachev ordered his
troops to withdraw in April 1989.
