i have had the misfortune of being visited by one,
who has tried his/her pathetic best to use a play of words to divert from the point I make

as is a norm on this site,
I bring my response to that comment onto the mainpage,
so that it does not get obscured within the binary…

@ duncanr

you are being fastidious about my usage of the words “election year” because you obviously do not have any other arguments against what I have written.

To make it clear, so it sinks into your “non-sloppy” sanctimonious thinking:
a British PM can call an election at anytime of his term.
Under the provisions of the Septennial Act 1715 as amended by the Parliament Act 1911, the next United Kingdom general election must be held on or before Thursday 3 June 2010 – so Gordon Brown HAS TO call that election within the next 16 months – by 3rd June 2010 to be exact.

It is of no consequence whether 2009 has yet not been declared as “the election year” to the public – David Milliband, an individual with high ambitions of his own political future, himself must know when the election will be held – and when he needs to start “pandering” to the muslim votebanks.

Even with your fastidious diversionary argument – you cannot rule out a call for an election AT ANY TIME WITHIN THE NEXT SIXTEEN MONTHS. And if an election does take place before midnight, 31st December 2009 – consider your butt well and truly kicked.

My perspectives are clear – biased? perhaps.
what you are trying is a clever way of avoiding to declare that muslim perspectives too are deeply biased.

You may call yourself an aethist, I expected you would,
that is the another clever/cheap way of avoiding to declare what religion you were born into.
Declaring yourself an aethist does not exclude any bias in your thinking
it is THE PERFECT WAY of concealing a bias based on religion.

Besides NO ONE born into Islam can ever be an aethist.
Is it not, under the Islamic law (sharia), the male apostate must be put to death unless he suffers from a mental disorder or converted under duress and a female apostate must be either executed, or imprisoned until she reverts to Islam.

I stand my ground,
with an election that HAS TO be declared at ANYTIME and CONCLUDED before 3rd JUNE 2010, it is now ESSENTIAL FOR BRITISH MPs TO PANDER TO MUSLIM VOTERS.

Milliband does not dare talk of Israel giving independence to Palestine - he may be a moron, but has just enough neurones to realise that will be the end of his political career. the easy option was to score cheap points by talking Kashmir.

It is ironic,
in the name of democracy, the world has to suffer MPs pandering to a religion to get their votes
when that religion itself does not believe in democracy.

Sloppy thinking? My readers will judge that.
But it has more value than what you dish out day after day on your own website.
It takes a lot more than your diversionary attempts under the pretence of being “fastidious” to try and disprove or discredit what I write.

I do not publish cowardly diversionary arguments here.
Any further arguments that YOU may have – dish them out on your site.

this individual serves his non-sloppy thoughts at a mad tea party
please visit: a display of intelligence as you may never have perceived before

my previous article was based on facts
none of my points are fiction
the events of Mumbai is no tolkein fantasy
the chain of events has no definition other than terrorism

the one terrorist caught alive and has confirmed his nationality,
he has given details of his training, the orders he was given and the way he executed it

The hard facts are,
173 people were killed and 308 injured by 10 Pakistani muslims

these are no extras in a film set, they are very real,
killers doped with cocaine and sent to kill innocent indians, british and jews.

regardless of the rights and wrongs it is cannot be disputed that no other religion is in anyway linked to THIS meaningless act of violence but Islam.

I am yet to come across a “moderate muslim” who has accepted these facts of this attack.
not one will hold up their hand and have the honesty to accept the truth.
or admit that it was committed in the name of Islam.

it has been finger pointings elswheres
excuses, after excuses and theories and anecdotes.
this is the primary reason why there will never be an end to terrorist killings by muslims.

This is a response to the comment left on my last post.

A comment by Naj,

While i am fully aware of how fanatics may interpret Quran to promote violence, I disagree with you that Islam IS the root cause of violence. Jihad is the political umbrella which is abused by the war mongers … war mongers, irrespective of religion, capitalize on IDIOCY of those whom they can brainwash …

A few years ago, Indians of one cult brought down an Air India flight carrying Indians of another cult … a few years ago, I saw a documentary by Anand Patwardhan, I don’t remember the film but it was footage from an Indian Nationalist rally, where the speaker was preaching Indian Supremacy, and how they couldn’t wait to take revenge in the “white” men who had subjugated them for so long … he was praising the nuclear achievements and technological advancements of India, professing “revenge” …

Such idiocracy is NOT particular to Muslims … it is universal and it is motivated by shadowy figures who stand to gain in a very material and tangible way from the intangible faith of the idiots …

My article is based on the global concept that Islamic terrorism is a reality.

I first clarify that
1.I did not say Islam is the root cause of all violence, I have said that if it is Islamic terrorism then the root cause of it can only be Islam, NOT poverty.
2. the idiots I refer to in my article are the GW Bushes and G Browns of this world who have created a frankenstein next door to us.

I do not judge the rights and wrongs of any religious extremism, what disgusts me is the lack of honesty to take responsibility. When the Khalistanis brought down the Air India flight, they did not give any fairytale excuses, they honestly admitted their separatist ideology to create Khalistan. If an Indian nationalist is preaching Indian Supremacy – at least he is honest in admitting his supremacist beliefs.

When a muslim or a muslim organisation carries out killings and themselves admits it to be in the name of Islam, I do not see how the rest of the muslim world say it wasn’t? It is this denial from the so called “moderate muslims” that perpetuates these terrorist beliefs and activities.

sorry Naj, i disagree,
the easily identifiable “fanatics” are never the problem,
the real problem is the dishonesty, hypocrisy and gutless cowardice of the “moderates” who persistently deny the existence of verses in Quran that does direct the killing of non-believers.

I do not agree that any muslim can be brainwashed to believe something that is not written in the pages of the Quran. It is a fact that there is the directive for jihad, to kill non-believers in the Quran; I do not see why muslims the world over does not admit it.

and to claim that poverty is the cause of Islamic terrorism, is an absolute myth.

Mr Osama bin Laden

Let us discuss one person whose name has become synonymous with Islamic terrorist movements. Mr Osama bin Laden.

I challenge anyone to convince me that

1. it was poverty that led Mr bin Laden to form a terrorist organisation. on the contrary it is his own $$$ billions he has used to create terror.

2. Mr bin Laden is of subnormal intelligence or literacy to have been brainwashed.
What ever he has achieved, he has achieved because of his firm convictions of the teachings of the Quran.

3. Mr Bin Laden has any need for war mongering.
He has been honest about his ideology, building an islamic caliphate, the ultimate aim of al Qaeda. and his proposed form of struggle for this ultimate aim the global jihad.

I have no problems with anyone initiating his global jihad as long it is honestly admitted that it is in the cause of Islam for the objectives of the movement is clear and others who do not believe in it can take appropriate steps to protect their own rights.

I have written many times, I would trust the words of the extremists, of the Talibans – for they are not scared to say what their aims are and which passages of Quran they follow in their holy fight. I do not trust the “moderate” muslims who will only find excuses.

So please discuss in specific reference to events of 26/11,
Mumbai was not just words – it has led to 173 deaths of civilians.

Can you explain why Pakistan, even after being shown clear proof of terror arising within her boundaries, is so hostile towards accepting the evidence?
If this attack was indeed war mongering by selfish individuals / organisation – why do they not accept the evidence and prove it was the motive of “shadowy figures” for material gain?

The extreme reluctance to accept the evidence and act on it, it signifies only one possibility,
the Pakistani military or its intelligence is/was involved as alleged –
that is state sponsered terrorism on an international scale.

to fight Mr Bin Laden’s mujahideen is not the problem,
the problem was to have the backstabbing pakistani military of Musharraf as an ally in the war.

if “moderate muslims” accepts that islamic terrorism exist,
then please do not cloud the issues with excuses and misleading rhetorics.

if “moderate muslims” believes in and says they too are in the global “war against terror”
then please do not mislead as to who the real enemies are or what their ideals are.

if “moderate muslims” across the globe expects the world to condemn
the invasion of muslim sovereign soil by US or any other nation, then at least be prepared to acknowledge the atrocity of muslims on another sovereign state, you cannot have it both ways.

if “moderate muslims”
deny the very existence of verses of Islamic Laws of Jihad in the Quran,
deny the very existence of Islam based terrorism, then that is a very different discussion,
please do not waste my time debating it here.

for the christmas day, for me, is incomplete without
no! not the Queen’s speech,
the frivolous festivities
the roasts with trimmings
the cakes or the puddings
the empty promises on the once a year cards
the slaughtered conifers, the tinsels or the baubles
the meaningless pressies wrapped with countless dead trees

no, it can never be complete without
A Christmas Carol,
gifted to us by Mr Charles Dickens long ago, on 12/19 of 1843

one of the very few things I am grateful to my dad for, for forcing me
to set aside the Scrooge McDuck to know the Ebenezer Scrooge
and the world of Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim …

Mr Dickens did not tell us that there is goodness in the depths of EVERYone of us
no, he tells us, regardless of what we want to delude about ourselves,
the true goodness of the heart, in our world, belongs to the few
Bob Cratchits, the Fans and the Freds.

Christmas?
how can the Christmas’ spirit haunt us if we choose to live only in the instant present
when we are in deep denial of our unpleasant pasts,
and refuse to look at our future?

if you wish to jerktears like you have never tearjerked before
try the 1999 television movie adaptation directed by David Hugh Jones
with Patrick Stewart as Ebenezer Scrooge and Richard E. Grant as Bob Cratchit

just as night follows day and hides everything under darkness

the kashmir propaganda invariably follows every islamic atrocity in India
the ultimate excuse for a perpetual lie

and does it come any more blatant as this – I Am A Muslim…

it is said a picture conveys a thousand words but it does not have to be the truth
the perfect tool for clever propaganda

this photograph
published on an obscure and untraceable URL
with no means of confirming its source, its context or authenticity
becomes “this picture is of KASHMIR” –
a lie – to be repeated over and over again –
till it becomes accepted by the intentionally lazy ignorants – as the truth.

Kashmir as it is today
is because of atrocities committed by pakistani muslims
on both MUSLIMS and HINDUS, the true kashmiris of 1947 –
as a planned campaign by the pakistani army to invade and annex Kashmir

the muslim founder fathers of Pakistan
could not legally ‘demand’ Kashmir for their new nation
so they had to get their claws into it any which way –
even if it was by setting muslims on muslims

and obsessively so for 60 more years.
why else would Musharraf initiate a war in Kargil?
what right had he to invade and to fly the Pakistani flag atop the Srinagar Assembly?
he is no “terrorist”.
Or is he?

strange that
no muslim will ever mention how “Kashmir” started
no muslim will ever explain how the Pakistan Army happens to be in Kashmir
no muslims will ever mention that Pakistan was ordered by the UN security council to withdraw it forces from the territory that was the Princely state of Kashmir.
no muslim crying for a plebiscite in Kashmir will ever mention the withdrawl of Pakistani troops and militants was a pre-requisite
no muslim will ever acknowledge that Pakistan has occupied Kashmir in breach of UN resolution

UNCIP Resolutions of August 13, 1948

PART II: TRUCE AGREEMENT
Simultaneously with the acceptance of the proposal for the immediate cessation of hostilities as outlined in Part I, both Governments accept the following principles as a basis for the formulation of a truce agreement, the details of which shall be worked out in discussion between their Representatives and the Commission.

A.
(1) As the presence of troops of Pakistan in the territory of the State of Jammu and Kashmir constitutes a material change in the situation since it was represented by the Government of Pakistan before the Security Council, the Government of Pakistan agrees to withdraw its troops from that State.

(2) The Government of Pakistan will use its best endeavour to secure the withdrawal from the State of Jammu and Kashmir of tribesmen and Pakistan nationals not normally resident therein who have entered the State for the purpose of fighting.

(3) Pending a final solution the territory evacuated by the Pakistan troops will be administered by the local authorities under the surveillance of the Commission.

to every non muslim Indian who happens to read such propaganda, I ask
why is it that no muslims in india will ever march with banners asking for withdrawl of pakistan from kashmir?
why if Islam is indeed a religion of peace and tolerance and forbids all killings then how could the ghazni’s and ghoris of history, not once or twice but for centuries; loot, plunder, rape, convert, enslave and systematically destroyed hindu temples in the name of spreading Islam?

so convenient there were no cameras, no photographers in those days
to record the plight of the hindus
not in hundreds
nor in thousands
but in hundreds of thousands;
NOT episodic acts of human rights abuse or extremism – but a hindu GENOCIDE

muslims try to portray themselves as world’s eternal victims
if at all they are ‘victims’, it is only of ‘generalisation’ –
none else to blame but their unquestioned faith
in the teachings of Islam

what I read there is not just a propaganda,
but extremely nauseating in its dishonesty and hypocrisy

the banner should read

“I kill
for I am a muslim and it is my religious duty
to spread Islam – and if necessary to terrorise, invade and kill”

but that would be the truth…

Away from my usual hideout,
in Kolkata, tucking in the traditional ileesh fish and rice – and all things tasty and nice,
I was surprised to receive an email alert from my blogspage that my site had received an award!!!

From an old (blogging) friend of mine – MsCutePants of ISLAS BELLAS.

As I am unable to attend in person, this is my acceptance speech beamed through broadband -

As my friends know,
I have not written anything for months,
so it not only was a surprise, its nice to know I still have my friends,
even more my previous efforts, however amateurish, have not been forgotten.

The Award:

The Brilliant Weblog Award
is given to sites and blogs that are smart and brilliant both in their content and their design.
The purpose of the prize is to promote as many blogs as possible in the blog sphere.

The rules to be followed are:

3. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing them that they have been awarded with the ‘Brilliant Weblog’ award.
4. Show a picture of those who awarded you and those you give the prize to (optional).

I know there are many blogs, many more than seven that deserves this award.
More than I.

I have been away from the blogs world for a long time,
many of the bloggers I used to enjoy reading I find no longer writes.
So I will browse through my blogroll and blogsurfer for my nominations.
I apologise for being unable to name all in one go, I’ll keep adding to my list as I go along.

Nominations:

These are the blogs that truly deserves this award.

1. Nikita of Chessalee -
she is passionate about chess – and loooooooooves cricket. Something in the lay out of her site that makes it a pleasure to visit

2. Mahak at Mind flirting with thoughts -
not just because her blog is always attractive, nor because she writes on many subjects, but I have found many of my thoughts reflected in her writings.

3. Allirekha of My desert which is always green. I found this blogger through a comment she left on my site. I was amazed to find she is only 15, the youngest blogger I have come across. A blog I visit whenever I have the time to blog hop.

I will be completing the list gradually. Patience, they say, is a virtue.

5 September I have found my next two nominations.

4. Naj at Neo-resistance Her blog it says is about fairness; about looking at objects from multiple perspectives – and has always lived up to it. To me that is priceless. Her presentation is artistic.

5. Zenfrog at The Zenfrog for true peace. I am unable to describe the peace and tranquility of this site, you have to experience it yourself.

5 September Someone for whose blog this award is taylor made.

6. Has to be My Soul at Experiments in Writing. “A dreamer with the head in the Clouds and feet on the Ground”. This blog is way past the experimental phase and has been lifted into its own orbit.

23 September And after a long long search I have found my last nomination.

7. It is Rupsa at Life, death and across. She seems new in the world of blogs. I almost accidentally found her site – the name intrigued me. I found a blogger who thinks laterally, an attribute I always admire. Hopefully this award will encourage her to continue to share her thought.

Finally:

Yeah, yeah -
I know, in true ‘Oscars’ fashion I have been rambling,
but I would like to say thanks to

1. MsCutePants – this award might bring me out of my bloglethargy.
2. Ruff – the tuff scruff – my blog logging friend who always sits next to me when I write.

ADDED ON 6th SEPTEMBER

I am one to always challenge the norms, the rules.
So deviating from the above rules of the award, and risking my friend’s disappointment
I say to my nominees,
I leave it to you to decide if you wish to continue to nominate -
after all its aimed to bring recognition to others who also deserve to be known.

I accept it is not always easy to perpetuate awards.

So you can defer nominations to when its convenient for you,
or stagger it as I have been doing
or simply accept the award.

Whatever you choose is fine by me.
I would be happy if you accept and display the award – for you truly deserved it.
