So I ran into a rabid anti west guy. the west is this and the west is that..boo hooo, blahbidy blahbidy blah…Pakistan is bad for allowing attacks on taleban boo hoo
There I started thinking, dude if it is so damn bad, why are you here..
until I found out that for all his anti war and anti this and that posturing, the joker works for a defence related company… so like bro, u work for a company that makes the **** that is then used to kill the same ppl whose death and all has you so enraged, and so anti pakistan..
Where do these people come from..sheesh.
Then you run into a bhai sahab going all ballistic on riba and interest and how its evil and haraam and one can not deal with it, and then turns out he works for citibank.
khuda ki panah, yaaar..atleast go get a job in one of those “islamic financing” groups or companies..rather than work in fixed income area which is interest thru and thru
what is next someone lecturing me on the ill effects of fahashi and uryaani and then I find out he works for playboy?
PS: yep this is an underhanded way of finding out of someone works for em so I can get freebies
I am a bigra hua mod muslim anyways, no better place for me than the west.
yaaaaaay.
but these type of cheetay really amuse me.
the examples keep coming..
one champion was all about boycotting companies that support Israel, I mentioned to him that his company makes communication equipment that is used by IDF.
phir bolti band..
then the excuse is, but thats just one tye of product we make.
SO!!! why boycott other companies then...resign from your own company as a protest ...
abay bottom line is, dor kay dhool suhanay, pakistan main koi poochta nahi, idhar aa kar buhat baRay aadmi bann gaiey hain, TaxiaaN chala chala kar rent daitay hain, ghar fone kar kay kehtay hain "Transport industry main job kar raha hooN"
aur joo restaurants main 16 ghantay ki naukri kar rahay hain
woo kehtay hain "Jee Service industry main kaam kar raha hooN"

many of us worked in the energy industry while in college :D
Yeah meet those people very often :D It makes me wonder why they are living here if they are so disgusted with everything. Because they know they cannot find a decent job in Pak and send their kids to college.
its more than just living here in this case. I mean that is being a lower level hypocrit, but its rich to se ppl who work in defense related companies
yeah not all the products the company makes are defense related, but if it bothers somemone so much, why do they lend their work effort to such a company.
The banker joker and I had a rather interesting argumeny because I told him on his face that if interest is haram then he should not be in the role he is in. he took it very personally, told me that it appplied to me too since i worked at a bank once..I told him first of all I am not sitting around preaching the ills of interest, and secondly, i did leave that job.. not because of some religious obligaton though.
then he started talking about well karna parta hai, entire financial industry is set up this way. yawn
What about the people who are oh so particular about eating zabeeha ?....
but when you ask how they bought the nice house they live in .....they smilingly answer that "Oh the bank owns it - meaning its thru mortgage".
I guess we have becomes very selective in our perception of realities and haven't learned from the saying "those who throw stones should not be living in glass houses"
but that atleast is 2 different topics u know. I mean I see your point, but in such a case there are some things they are following in a manner cmmonly seen as teh right manner and others they are not.
I know a panj waqt namazi totally anti alcohol guy who works for a major beer company as an engineer, so is focused on their systems and manufaturing proceeses, but dude...come on.
^ You just proved my point. Two things that are exact opposite of each other. Halal and Haram clearly being done by the same person. Only my example was at home vs. your's are for the workplace.
ask these rabid anti war coach commanders how many anti war rallies they ahve gone in or how much theyhave written to media, and the answer is silence or excuses..
as if the thousands of others who showed up at the rallies did nto have jobs, families etc, they just were more committed than our typical drawing room intellectual and bulletin board rebel.
