Re: Basant Blasphemy

Tomorrow when you hear somebody else say the same thing, I am sure you would speak the same way. I never had a doubt about how the “enlightened” and “moderate” Muslims speak and behave. By the way, I remember a madrassah student in Pakistan speaking exactly like you.. What a coincidence!:k:

Tomorrow when you hear somebody else say the same thing, I am sure you would speak the same way. Such speeches only prove your ignorance. It was my duty as a Muslim to point out what is wrong, so don’t follow the footsteps of shaitan.

Re: Basant Blasphemy

What is so :rolleyes: about it?

Re: Basant Blasphemy

its about this:

People in Sub-Continent (esp. Women) - due to lack of knowledge and understand - when go to Mazaars tend to offer dua to the person buried instead of Allah[SWT]. Although I have not lived for a long time in Pakistan, however I have myself witnessed People say: Go to such and such Mazaar and offer prayer and you will get Pregnant :lahol:. Such Ignorance of Hindu and Pagan tradition!.**
The same thing occurs at Hajj: When People try to kiss or Touch The Kabaa - I feel sorry for these people; May Allah Increase their Knowledge and Understanding.

Re: Basant Blasphemy

qyamat nazdeek a rahi hai... guys worry about your own amaals --- gosh i hpoe i can wash some of my sins :( atleast

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Yup people. Qayaamat is near -- better stop flying kites.

And oh, someone mentioned Labanon without probably knowing that its almost 50% christain in its demographics.

And someone also mentioned Basant is restricted to Lahore/Punjab. That's nuts. It's happening all over, Karachi/Hyderabad/Multan/Peshawar you name it, though the hub remains Lahore. Evil evil Kite flyers!

Re: Basant Blasphemy

The propaganda against kite flying or basant is absolutely rubbish! Its a cultural festival not a religious one as writtem by few inspired by idiot mullahs who see everything not arabic as non-islamic.. muslims, hindus, sikhs all celebrate is with fun at the time of fun.. attributing is with pagan is non-sense...

There are issues about safety and danger to life and that should be sorted out..

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Read other posts and you will find numerous examples that it is derived from Hindus. While you are at it, look for why it is Haram to celeberate basant even though Pakistanies have adopted it as a "culture" rather than a "relgious" thing.

Finally, Name calling is not very Muslim of you. Please refrain next time.

Jazak'Allah Khair.**

Re: Basant Blasphemy

There are more than numerous examples where its clear that it is not derived from hindus.. it came from China and spread all over the world.. in punjab muslims, hindus and sikhs alike adopted it at the festival of spring.. look at the pic.. just posting few pics out of context from millions that are just plain is an exageration.. I have so many hindu friends and no one ever mentioned it as a religious thing.. as far as the false thing as attributing it to some blesphemy is so absurd as it is been celebrated by muslims long before that thing happened during mughal period.. and if some one follow some rascal idiot mullah its their path.. i will call all mullah who profess hatred as rascals.. plus i have never seen any of ur or laeeq's post when some jahils go on killing minorities like christians, burn temples/churches after getting fatwas from the same mullas.. plus arab culture my foot.. arabs are tyhe most wretched people on earth - how they treat other muslims and minorities is far off from islam.. best muslims i have seen are Malaysians..

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Mr. Degas,

I am also listening to your opinion and support for the Basant/jashan-e-Baharan festival. I do not have a problem with that. This is a discussion forum where every member has the right to express... I do not support basant at all because of the reason I gave in my post. You also expressed your opinions, but the difference is that many like you go act like extremists and start mullah bashing and call people narrow minded. Where do mullahs come into this? ......... I haven't even seen or heard a mullah in years...... Whatever I say is my own.

You can do whatever and think whatever you want....but who gave you the right to call someone "idiot" ... Is that what your moderation is all about???

Although I highly dislike this festival but I would not call you names. I can call you stuff which would be rubbish but thats not my way. Plus, I never said and never beilever that Arabic culture is superior. In my opinion, no culture is superior. All cultures are good as long as they do not become more important than religion-Islam. So even arabs have certain cultures which are non -Islamic. They are equally condemnable.

Learn to express yourself in a civilized way!!!

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Is this your criteria for judging someone? If you did not come across a post in which the incidents of bomb blasts or stuff like that were not denounced you are quick to assume that the person is bad.

You sound so racist! "arabs are the most wretched people" Why??? What did they do to you? and are all arbas bad? No...You have a brain problem. Go get yourself checked by a psychiartist. Sick.. Whats the difference between those whites who treats and think of all Black community as evil! Trust me bro...there are many nice people outside your Indian circle of friends.... Get a life.

Re: Basant Blasphemy

No proof needed for your statement. It is abundantally clear by so many posts in this thread!

Re: Basant Blasphemy

laeeqkhan,
I deliberately used jahil mullah phrase since ur post is no different.. u r trying to misguide people who have not seen what basant is with very selective pics and assumptions just to fare up feelings of muslims here..

1) You have posted pics with hindu gods as suggesting that all basant kites are fashioned in these pics !!!! In fact kites are made in thousands of shapes and sizes with pics ranging from moon, cattoon for kids, flags of countries, political party flags in Pakistan and India.. I have posted a pic in the above posts where India is depicted as a serpant controlling Kashmir.. U should had told how many kites of the type u posted are actually flown in India..

2) You have tries to portray as few instigating mullahs about blesphemy incident with basant.. there is no truth to it.. as some mullahs didnt find any other argument against basant they have tried to malign this with basant but any sane person know that basant has been celebrated as spring festival long before that incident happened both by muslims emperors in india and sufis..

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Yes, I think everyone knows that kites come in a myriad of shapes, sizes and colors. But yes the kite depicted in my post is also one of them… I can’t show all.

Secondly, yes it does have a link to blasphemy.

Third, Muslim emperors in India are not an inspiration for us. We have had emperors like Akbar who cause great harm to Islam, although he benefitted unity in India. So any action by Moghuls are not binding on us. They were not the rulers of the Islamic Republic of India. They were lost in ayyashi like today’s Pakistani rulers. Its hard for me to find good examples in the Moghul times of justice, equality, development and prosperity. Making palaces and great mosques does not make a country great. Its the people, democracy and good institutions for welfare that make a nation great.

Again, regarding basants negativity, I am sure this would add to your knowledge. http://www.alhudapk.com/audio-video/presentation/basant/basant.pps

Re: Basant Blasphemy

So ur couple of kites decide about type of kites flown at Basant !!! very clever.. if thats the case u should pay credit to the pic I posted too ..

Now please explain how a blesphemy that occured a 100 yrs back have any relevance to basant that is being celebrated for hundreds of yrs..

I didnt said u should admire or follow Mughals.. nor do I do that.. it was written to show basant and kite flying is being done for centuries by masses.. hindus, muslims , sikhs alike in north india..

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Idol worship and many things we Muslims do not agree with have continued for centuries. Grave worship, and asking fake pirs or people for salvation, is going on for centuries...+ Karo kari and killing for ghairat is going on even today...so do we do something about it or not? Do we just keep sitting and watch? No, we go ahead and educate people and open a debate in which people participate and learn from each other intead of endorsing all that the military rulers do to keep the nation busy!

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Now these are different problems in our society but we cant simply say that people have lost Islam or have become non-muslims by performing them. Simply, more education and awareness but in a gentle way without issuing fatwas is a better way. In Pakistan people have slowly started to be less on piri fakiri thing but kari and honor killing is deep rooted problem in some parts..

Re: Basant Blasphemy

Arabs are the true protectors of Islam. All Pakistanis should strive to be like them. Pakistan should change their national language from Urdu to Arabic. Mush should ban speaking of Urdu in Pakistan. Urdu is also spoken in India. Pakistan should speak no language spoken in India. Anyone celebrating basant should be beaten black and blue by muatawa religious police. Pakistani children should be given names in the style of Arab names. Rashid son of Salim of Islamabad should be called Al Rashid bin Salim Al Islamabadi. Arabs are the greatest people on the earth because they are sitting on an ocean of oil. Pakistan should immediately apply to become a province of Saudi Arabia.
