I see nothing wrong with it. They should similarly stop celebrating Christmas as well. Religion is a private affairs. White House is not his private residence. State should not meddle in these things.

I just came to know that Indians read the most books. My faith in both books and reading stands shaken.

So your answer is that Indians killed the Pundits. Whereas the fact is that the battlecry of "Islam khatre mein hai" was used twice to wipe out the Pundits from the Valley in two instalments. Today, they are scattered all over the country because local Kashmiris, under the guidance of...

This data hides more than it reveals: 1) The selection criteria for each country is not uniform. E.g., data for China, US, Russia and UK includes re-editions, whereas for Germany and India only new books are included. 2) There is no information on translations. So we don't know how many of...

Gnsdh eduffm aarffh... LMAO...LOL... do you construct your words on a lottery ball machine? Or maybe the linguistic equivalent of a random code generator? The people that you have replied to in this post can only laugh at your lack of presentation abilities. You are so far behind on the...

Thankfully, you have woven into your response the issues I wished to raise in this post. I view morality as an innate sense that gets shaped by individual selection into a set of actionable values. Values and ethics are the practical manifestations that are shaped by group selection as a modus...

That has been my exact thought while reading this entire thread. The cognitive dissonance on display here is so absolute, it is difficult to conclude that it represents anything else than total moral bankruptcy. If I had a dime for every Pakistani member here who talks about Indians using...

I am glad that you took the time out to find out at least one possible type of logical fallacy. Now kindly take time out to actually understand what I wrote in this post as well as the others. On a lighter note - I am not denigrating you or anyone else here by saying this. But surely this has...

No but we all have Atum-Bum so we are all equal. No other yardstick matters. I didn't make this up. This is logic that I have learnt from clever Pakistani members on PDF, so it must be true. Claiming victimhood is a pre-requisite to build consensus within democracies for any military measure...

No no...you are forgetting something here. Remember that while Pakistan is in an even more assymetric position vis-a-vis India, the consensus reaction of Pakistanis is that they have parity due to the nuclear option. Same applies to us. Just assume that we had a similar collective brain freeze...

He could have left it at that, instead of attributing the epithet that Indians are nosey nit-pickers. Gave him away, didn't it? Same applies to your attempt to explain what he said. It would have slightly more purchase if you did not couple it with an allegation that I am the one creating a...

There are people who are actually dying in India because of this nonsense. Maybe you could show some sensitivity towards them by either condemning their fate in terms of liberal/secular values (since you claim to be a secular person), or keep your mouth shut. You add no value to the discussion...

Hmmm... xenophobic stereotyping. You couldn't hold your mask of civility through even three posts. Pathetic. Fail.

What I said was implicit in your statement. Let me turn the question around for you. When the thread is about how Arabs view all South Asians, then what was your motive for mentioning that Bangladeshis are viewed the worst as they commit the most crimes? What is the point of drawing that...

By Bengali I assume you mean Bangladeshis. And does it really matter who the Arabs think is the bottom of the chain? Does it feel especially nice to be second or third-last in their assessment?

The problem is, Western nations are caught in a chaotic response. There is obviously a certain degree of power games at play. But I don't see how Germany, France and Italy and others facing the refugee situation would be interested in prolonging the situation. They, however, feel that direct...

Yes indeed the Refugees deserve sympathy. But not of the sort that is being heaped upon them. This canard of "root causes" does not address the basic reason as to why these root causes exist. You mentioned war profiteering and who benefits from the situation. Well, these are the actors in the...

Dear funny gorilla - the subtleties of the English language are clearly beyond you. So give it a rest. If you think that fancy words result in a garbled message then stick to your elementary discourse with equally dim-witted members. You will get along just fine. And now, since there is nothing...

You miss the nuance of language but that's all right. What I said was this - the global response to the situation in the Middle-East/North Africa can be either based in reality or in victimhood. It seems to me that you are basing your response on reality. That is unacceptable to the SJW...

"Root causes" is a euphemism for denial of the proposition that the problems in the Middle-East/North Africa could have anything to do with doctrine. It is predicted upon the assertion that when people profess a set of beliefs that would obviously lead to violence, we are to assume that they...
