Re: Gaza Under attack
I could tell that you were itching to throw a hissy fit over this for a long time and I’m glad you finally got that out of your system. Sadly, I am still unable to give two hoots.
Hearing the word self-respect from your mouth sounds like a sick joke! The person who opens a thread declaring all Pakistanis Jew and Hindu haters; gets banned for repeatedly making extremely derogatory remarks and hate speech thinks he has the gall to utter the word self-respect? Let’s see if you have the nerve to apologise for disgustingly stereotyping and making sweeping and offensively direct generalisation about Pakistanis. Clearly you do not appreciate being called out for your hypocrisy and you rather and twist and turn logic to turn the focus on me. And no, get some reading glasses, I did not campaign for political correctness in this thread, I just pointed out your selective display of a joke a political correctness. Hence your reaction.

oh i see...so you have a crystal ball..you know exactly what i have been itching for..what else am i itching for Jolie! please tell me...lol
now lets get to generalization topic and the one you are using to emotionalize people. I avoided it because i dd not derail the thread but since you are "ithcing', let me respond to it.
First and foremost...people can go back and read that thread...i posted an article by a dawn blogger and made my comments in that context. Here is what i said
***"Good article portraying nuisances, conspiracies and insecurities that are now inherently part of our social DNA....driven by too much of religion doze given to this nation across the spectrum. whenever i go to pakistan, I get suffocated by one-dimensional thought process i.e. blaming west/USA/jews/indians for everything, refuse to take any blame for our utter incompetence almost in every field, and keep bringing religion into every discussion and issue and thus shutting down any opportunity to discuss freely..............
i have been to over 45 countries (for my job mostly) and i have yet to find any country where people hate jews as much we do in Pakistan.......................as if jews have a different creator.... if they are so bad blame the creator first who is producing such toxic material...
jews are closely followed by hindus and USA in terms of hate..pls note, Pakistanis do not hate Indians, they hate hindus. always surprised that sikhs are always adored by Pakistanis....Christians and Buddhists are ok as well but hindus....***"
Am i ashamed or embarrassed for making these comments? Absolutely not. I stand behind what i said. I have born and raised in pakistan...i lived in rural areas, urbans areas, my family runs for politician elections from a rural base (and i wish they dont) and for years i had to travel across villages, meet ordinary people during those campaigns. I went to school in an urban sitting and lived in lahore, faislablad and many other places for over 20 years...
and yes i can say with fully confidence how we Pakistanis think of jews.. i know what the word yahoodi means in our society...i know all the sayings and proverbial phrases that we have in our social lives to explain yahoodis. I know how many times people were willing to kill you if you call him a yahoodi.
Majority of Pakistanis live in villages and i know the kind of sermons religious molvis deliver about jews and what our ordinary population in those villages/towns think of jews...i dont need to generalize anything. The amount of hatred we have against yahoodis (that is the word mainstream pakistani use for them) is not a hidden taboo.
And then i said that the next one in line are hindus and USA. and i also specifically said that pls note, Pakistanis do not hate Indians, they hate hindus. always surprised that sikhs are always adored by Pakistanis....Christians and Buddhists are ok as well but hindus...."
i am not generalizing Pakistanis for sikhs and many other communities because i never found that behavior among pakistanis for those communities...but yes in Pakistan where i was raised yahoo wa hanood were always sees suspiciously. I know many guppies know what i mean when said hanoodd wa yahood.
So i am just saying what i have observed. I am not embarrassed at all but yes i am embarrassed that our society has become radicalized and i have a huge problem with it and i will keep saying it.
