You have to consider the audience Minah. What Faisal has posted amounts to Pulitzer calibre investigative journalism in Pakistan. :k:
Re: amusing news story
The topic of this discussion was a new mosque for the growing muslim community in Georgia.
Ohioguy has very cleverly distracted the entire discussion. Fraudia is right. If you need to point fingers at Saudi Arabia to feel good about American values, then there is something very wrong here. What is right is right. What is wrong is wrong. Whereever it may be.
Re: amusing news story
Faisal, what's the difference between new Churches Planted, vs, built? Maddie...can you tell us where was any new Church built in Pakistan since its creation? (dont include Bangladesh, OK). and show a photo if possible.... because I can bet you Danda's ass that you cant find any Church built in Pakistan since it became a country.
Re: amusing news story
PD - You got me curious so I went into that link. Whoa ---------- Chinese Christian churches in Pakistan? I didn't know there was such an animal. Interesting :)
Re: amusing news story

There you go. That was an incident in Islamabad less than two months ago in a newly built church.
Now, I understand that New York is a 10 hour drive from where I am. How soon can you have Danda’s ass ready for me, since I believe I’ve won it fair and square.
Re: amusing news story
Did you read the one about th ehindu hashish guru and how he found jesus. 
Look, fundos are fundos..be they christians or muslims…establishing a church in Pakistan is a good thing…establishing a hanuman temple in Mecca is a great thing. This is how tolerance and cross cultural understanding occurs.
Madsci, You can come to nY anytime buddy. I promise to take you out like I took out your rotund buddy CM for lunch. We are the most welcoming guppies, tolerant too. 
Re: amusing news story
Maddie, how very nice… you know there are ChoRa colonies all over Pakistan, and they put up a small house and put a Cross made out of Bamboo to indicate that it is a prayer house. It happens all over Punjab. These are not Churches. May be Wahabis might think that these little cardboard buildings are Churches. Islamabad was built in the 60s. show me a single Church in Islamabad that is of the standard that it can be called a Church.
I challenge you to show me a single Church in Islamabad. There are Pakistani wealthy Christians lining up to build a Church in Islamabad. If you can help them let me know.

And at the bottom of that page there is a photo of another Church in Islamabad. If you put your mouse over the picture the caption appears.
Re: amusing news story
^ Sheikh Saab after maddy proved you wrong ..whats are you gonna do to Pinny Danda's rear end?
Re: amusing news story
I have already invited Madsci to come down to NY. Zakk, you should come to. My ass will be there.
Re: amusing news story
Well, I won it fair and square. So I’m going to claim it next time I go to New York. I already have a Cunning Plan for what to do to it, involving a pair of latex gloves, a cardboard tube, some vaseline, a gerbil and a zippo lighter…
Re: amusing news story
^ Madsci, be careful...make sure you take a deep breath before you go looking for wisdom.
Re: amusing news story
Maddie, I applaud your audacity and courage to put your already chattered credibility further on the chopping block. There’s a Pentecostal and two Catholic Churches. That whole region (Pindi to Muree) was the main center of Christianity during the British. St. Thomas was built before even Qaid-e-Azam was born. I want you to show me a Church that was built since Islamabad was built. I will up the anty. I will give you Verizon’s as well. I will even throw an extra pass for your gay friend.
Re: amusing news story
Poor Maddie has gone googling. Give it up Maddie, you ain’t gonna find anything. Take my word for it.
Re: amusing news story
The one in the diplomatic enclave is pretty new, since the enclave was not in the original isb design. Also the fatima church in f-8 was built in the late 70’s. I can ask my friends back in isb if there were any new churches built since 2000.
Re: amusing news story
"Five Christian communities in Qatar laid the cornerstones of their new churches on Oct. 7, providing the physical foundation of the first Christian churches in the Persian Gulf country since the seventh century"
Since the Seventh Century! Now that is one sllloooowwww building commission!
So we should be worried about a few boneheads mouthing off in Georgia, as opposed to a policy where an entire region of the world has had freedom of relgion squashed for say thirteen centuries? Pardon me while I ignore the elephant in the room to squash this fly....
Lets get that Mosque built by at least the year 3705, OK?
Re: amusing news story
Madhanee, your credibility has now been wrecked. Next time you try and BS, try and pick something you can’t be caught out about so easily 
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! I get Verizon’s ass too now!!! I think I’ll try a hamster on him, since the gerbil’s reserved for Pinny Danda.

Madhanee, you are so generous for kindly donating your the asses of your pals for my deviant experiments…
Re: amusing news story
Check my previous post. One thing I’ve learned from 4 years on Gupshup, Madhanee, is that your word is totally useless. And you have just proven that once more!
