Basant is by any standards a Pagan Festival where you celebrate spring by dancing in public(Men and WOmen), flying kites and much more.
In parts of India you may feel you are watching MTV orgies
the islamic punishment is to sacrifice a wealthy brahmin, process the meat into burger patties and then serve with salad and mayo to poor Dalits in India.
Well spoken. Now a Brahmin is one who always speaks the truth however unpalatable it is.
Since you consistenly do so Xtreme Bhai, I recommend you as a Brahmin!!
I find it strange that most of the Muslims that come from India have a very strange perpective of Islam. As if they dont really know what it means. They are still somewhat involved in the caste system and also have adopted the various Hindu cultural traditions in their lives. And on top of that they brag they are are indian; as if being a Pakistani is a bad thing or as if they have to defend themselves.

That is true Andhra. I will definately agree to that. And it is a cross cultural influence. It happens all the time and no one person is to blame. I am not saying that flying a kite is wrong. All I am saying is that if Islam is what you believe in, then certain celebrations are to be avoided. If you are an avid kite flyer, more power to you. I guess if I enjoyed flying a kite I would do it quite often and even on the Basant day if I had the time.

First of all , Paksitani dont have castes. ( Period )
Secondly I did not escape anything. I am a product of Pakistan.
Thirdly dont be Indian and then a Muslim. Be a Muslim. When someone is talking about religion that is all I am talking about. If Mulsims from a particular Nation are distorting Islam , that is wrong.
And Lastly : You have chip on your shoulder. Chillout!. You seem to be an Indian. Not a Muslim....lol

Wrong. Somebody here posted Zia is Aryan CAste!! How about Rajputs and Wadheras etc.,
On the Muslim side, how about Bilals?
Thirdly dont be Indian and then a Muslim. Be a Muslim.<<
Tell that to Arabians. Last count more than half a dozen of them!! They have border disputes and wars too!!
If Mulsims from a particular Nation are distorting Islam , that is wrong. <<
Wrong again. There can't be 'Muslims from a Particular Nation' becasue by your theory all Muslims are one nation. So say 'Muslims Distrting Islam'!!!
All I am pointing out is the hypocricy of calling yourself 'Islamic' and doing all kinds of things not sanctioned by Islam!!
Andhra what the HELL are you talking about? Bilal is just a name, in fact it is my name. Man, in your attempt to display all that is wrong with Pakistan, you're looking like an idiot. Take my advice, stick to your smilies! They make you look more cereberal if it is possible.
Talk about mouthing off without knowing your stuff! Bilals....

What a lie !!!! and u call urself muslim.
yes..I am Indian first and then Muslim !!!!**
[/quote]
Well I dont have to defend what I am .
And if you are an indian First...then you shouldnt even call yourself a Muslim. I think you are an Idiot first.... enough said.
Andhra what the HELL are you talking about? Bilal is just a name, in fact it is my name. <<
Glad to know. Bilal is the name of few of my friends too.
He assured me they claim direct descendency from Prophet Mohammed and as far as possible don't marry outside their clan.
Caste for your information works exactly the same way.

sambrialian said it in simple words and I agree with that. None of what Andhra has said makes any sense. Maybe he/she god mad and could type coherently anymore. Here is a real old fashined smiley for Andhra :)

Not at all. I am willing to agree with you that Islam teaches all good things.
What I was trying to say is if flying kites and shaving your beard is wrong to according to Islam, don't fly kites, shave and call yourselves an 'Islamic' country.
I mean doing that is insulting Islam right?
