Hey Br. Mirza Ilyas at first in Re: Asian model in a white world you ask
us about what the Quraan says about modeling.  Now you state that Pak beer
is the best tasting.  Am I stupid or what but Muslim's don't drink!

That just goes to show where the Paks of the world are taking Pak, down
the gutters of Sadar & Lalukaith in the Worlds best metropolitan smog city
Karachi ( I would assume, right Mr. Ilyas _ i refuse to take you as my Brother
since you have reverted to drinking german beer.)


DA PAKS FOR A BEERIER PAK
MAY THE BEST WINE COME FROM THE BEAUTIFUL VINEYARDS OR WINEYARDS OF PAK.
