Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam:

Assalamo Alaikam:

I would like to introduce my self as a new netter on the net
soc.culture.pakistan. I have been reading articles on this net since
long. The Ahmadiyya/non-Ahmadiyya debate has been very interesting and
informative. 

Mr. Butt please let this debate go on so that people may benifit from
it. Looks like the Non-Ahmadi Muslim are running out of arguments, and
thus want a Ceasefire. Otherwise, I don't see any problem in stopping
it. If both parties are will to continue this, they should go ahead. 

If you are not interested don't read it.

Sincerely,
Owais Malik.

 No flames. Well Ok! Mind if this Karachiite gives it a try. Since 
Karachi has been at the receiving end as far as urbanization is 
concerned and since all races and linguitic groups exist together, I 
would say Ghaus Ali Shah was right when he said that Karachi is a 
mini-Pakistan.  But then he is said to have the IQ of a cucumber.

If you ever apply techniques of experimental design on your final
validated simulation model, then you may find that if one factor(one
race, one linguistic minority) starves of resources(any sort of 
resources needed by one group of people) then your simulation
model should tell you that your system is quite inefficient. Therefore the
collapse of social fiber in Karachi, though it did not need a 
simulated environment to be figured out, presents the example of the
lack of cohesive national forces and the heterogenous nature of the population
that does not lose any oppurtunity to graps each others throats.


Any questions? Comments? Flames?

Dear Netters:

	Some times it really infuriates one while going through
stupid mails and postings and flames. I myself have been
guilty, on at least two occasions, of loosing control of the
choice of my words. However, from the experience of the humility
one feels in apologizing and the resulting elation of having
conquered one's ego, I would say this:

1: For the first time I got the real insight in the Quranic
	injunction and its wisdom:
           "If an ignorant (jaahil) accosts you, it is
	    better (afzel) to ignore him and say to him
            'peace be on you' and be on your way"

2: It is impossible to stop the others from mud-slinging. However,
   it is possible to avoid oneself from descending to a similar
   low level.

3: We do have better things to do, great objectives, great desires.
   We simply can't waste our times in such useless bickerings. 

4: I have yet to see a "great person" complaining. They simply
   just don't have time. It is only the people who are non-entities
   who deal in bickering and castigations.

May Allah show us the "sirat-ul-mustaqeem", the way of those
who were blessed by HIM, and not of those who received HIS 
punishment.

   I do not know about this story. But sure as hell, I do know that the
Prophet (PBUH) just before his death said that a prophet is to be burried
wherever he dies. So, he was burried wherever he died -- in his room
(Ayisha's room).

Salaam everyone !
	I have been observing how people are using this news group
and to tell you the truth, there are other things to do besides curse 
each other out have antagonistic attitudes.
	I agree there have been interesting and educating articles
on halaal/haraam, the recent muslim-jew issue, to name a few. But
The network has been dominated by threats, foolish criticism ( yes
I know this is one too !) and woman bashing.
	I'm not trying to be a messaiah, all I wanted to suggest
was that we might try contributing something more than the above.
For example how about some nice gif's, software, club info, etc?!
	I'm sure there are people out there wih much more to share.

	In the end I just wanted to say that these are my views, and
if someone has something constructive to say about them, they are most
welcome to e-mail me, however if you are just in the mood to be a pain
, please spare my mbox.

	Hope to see more on the network.

P.S I have some gifs lying around if anyone is interested.

This is undoubtedly one of your most funniest post. I tried to refrain from
replying to your posts, but I couldn't help it. You have that irresistible
quality that can bend me against my will. 

Now please accept "Eid Mubark" from this hindo. I am not Qadiyani. 
I will also send you personal e-mail to wish you happy eid. If it
makes you wince, then you can ask Jamal Mubarak & Irfan & Murad 
sahibs to flame me ;-) . Perhaps they can help you in restraining non-
muslims from extending eid greetings.

Dear Qadiyani`s,

	My passport had expired, and when I went to get it renewed
	at the Pakistani Consulate in New York, they made me sign a 
	form.  It read

	"I hereby regard Muhhammad (P) as the last prophet and do not
	belive in the validity of any claims to prophet hood by anybody
	now.  I also regard the Ahmediis and the Qadiyani`s as non muslims
	and ....".

	You can ask for a form "s".  It contains this line of the back
	page.  Thats for those interested that do not believe me.

	Having no idea who the qadiyani`s are I belive that they are 
	not regarded as muslims by our country.  Therefore they are not
	muslims as far as I am concerned

I see that now you are on the track. The problem
is one of providing for and administering the right
to life, limb or property of any law abiding citizen.
That is the constitutional guarantee that we have.

If communities come forward to suggest ways and means
in which these constitutional rights can protected,
then we should hear!

For it is our concern too that no citizen of our country
be denied that which belongs to him.

:    The bacterias grow rapidly as consume more food and reproduce at a
:    high rate due to abundance of food availability.
: 3. Stationary Phase:
:    The bacterias do not increase in number as the food is just enough to
:    keep them alive and not reproduce.
: 4. Decay phase:
:    It is in this phase the bacterias die out rapidly as they do not have 
:    enough food to remain alive. The death is rapid as in order to live
:    the bacterias start their feeding on their fellow bacteria. 

Ah hum! I don't seem to recognize the above "phases". I have been
here for the last 5 years. It appears there has been a considerable
increase in the "phases" of Defense Housing Society. When I left
Karachi there used to be Phase I, II, III, etc. Have these
phases been renamed?

I suspect since the increase in dacoities and burgalaries, Defense
Society has been taken over by some bacteria. Consequently, some
renaming has taken place?

Or, it might be that some population planning people have really
made a break through in genetic-engineering!
