Re: Boycott U2

Re: Boycott U2
^^ 
now Das Reich is going to come after you!
Re: Boycott U2
Yes don’t listen to U2 as it’s ‘anti-muslim’, instead be a good Muslim and listen to some nut job on the internet who’s advocating murder. 
Could someone post some U2 audio files in the audio section?
Re: Boycott U2
Of course he will
so I can lend him the book:D
Re: Boycott U2
I never said that …killing of innocents is a great crime but Rushdie is not innocent
Re: Boycott U2
I don't like what you wrote Das Reich, that doesn't mean I have the right to advocate your death.
Rushdie
"For a long while I have believed - that in every generation there are a few souls, call them lucky or cursed, who are simply born not belonging, who come into the world semi-detached, if you like, without strong affliliation to family or location or nation or race; that there may even be millions, billions of such souls, as many non-belongers as belongers, perhaps; that, in sum, the phenomenon may be as "natural" a manifestation of human nature, as its opposite, but one that has been mostly frustrated throughout human history, by lack of opportunity. And not only by that: for those who value stability, who fear transcience, uncertainty, change have erected a powerful system of stigmas and taboos against rootlessness, that disruptive, anti-social force, so that we mostly conform, we pretend to be motivated by loyalties and solidarities we do not really feel, we hide our secret identities beneath the false skin of those identities which bear the belongers' seal of approval. But the truth leaks out in our sleep, our dreams; alone in our beds (because we are alone at night, even if we do not sleep by ourselves), we sour, we fly, we flee.
And in the waking dreams our societies permit, in our myths, our arts, our songs, we celebrate the non-belongers, the different ones, the outlaws, the freaks; What we forbid ourselves, we pay good money to watch, in a play-house or movie theatre, or to read about between the secret covers of a book. Our libraries, our palaces of entertainment tell the truth. The tramp, the assassin, the rebel, the thief, the mutant, the outcast, the sinner, the traveller, the gangster, the runner, the mask: if we did not recognize in them our least fulfilled needs, we would not invent them over and over again, in every place, in every language, in every time.
No sooner did we have ships, than we rushed to sea, sailing across oceans in paper boats. No sooner did we have cars than we hit the road. No sooner did we have aeroplanes than we zoomed to the furthest corners of the globe. Now we yearn the moon's dark side, the rocky plains of Mars, the rings of Saturn, the interstellar deeps. We send mechanical photographers into orbit, or on one-way journeys to the stars, and we weep at the wonders they transmit, we are humbled by the mighty images of far-off galaxies standing like cloud pillars in the sky, and we give names to alien rocks, as if they were our pets. We hunger for warp space, for the outlying ring of time. And this is the species that kids itself it likes to stay at home, to bind itself with - what are they called again? - ties.
That's my view. You don't have to buy it. Maybe there aren't so many of us, afterall. Maybe we are disruptive, anti-social and we shouldn't be allowed. You're entitled to your opinion. All I will say is: sleep soundly, baby. Sleep tight and sweet dreams."
-Salman Rushdie in The Ground Beneath Her Feet.
I haven't read the Satanic Verses so won't even venture there. But this, what Rushdie has written and I have posted above, is one of the most honest, beautiful, courageous and might I add, truthful in a naked, bare, unapparent sort of a way, piece of writing I have read to date.
Re: Rushdie
^ to kia karayn iss writing ka? print kar ke toilet paper bana len? :-|
Re: Rushdie
Ji aap chahen toh beshak karlein
Re: Boycott U2
There is a difference between "not like" and what Rushdi wrote, what part is difficult for you to understand?
Re: Rushdie
^ was there a specific reason to share this writing? or should we just say "thanks for sharing" and leave thread?
