no, you and nine inch nails were the ones.

You brought in Sadam, then went on to your beloved Libya. but hey how can a Pious Comrade lie.

one of his older ideas was "united states of africa".

just before 2011, another idea was a africa development fund, whose two main branches would be in cameroon ( i think ) and in libya.

there was the "gold dinar" currency idea which was meant for african and muslim countries to use and demand in place of usa dollar.

for whatever effect, one of his titles was "king of kings" in african context.

other older things.

I think mostly it was linked to oil politics involving international powers.

yes, of brainwashing south asian muslims away from the progress and progressiveness achieved by nasser and his students.

That was mainly linked to cold war politics and during the time of President Nasser almost all the countries were under occupation.

I think it should be more about understanding each other.

 

[jamahir]

If the word of the Quran and Hadith is brainwashing, then suit yourself. Who's nasser though?

jamal abdul nasser, one of the great revolutionary ( and muslim ) leaders in history...

 

[jaatram]

But we cant deny that he has made Indians Muslims the importance of Rig Vedas and Sanskrit language.

Students pick Sanskrit because it's really easy to score high marks in board exam, nothing to do with their love for vedas or the language.

jamal abdul nasser, one of the great muslim leaders in history..

Alright. I can positively say I've never heard of the great Allama before.

 

[Hindustani78]

jamal abdul nasser, one of the great revolutionary ( and muslim ) eaders in history...

Yes, he worked alot for the unity of Arab people and end of occupation.

and he inspired beyond the arab world and africa... one of my colleagues ( indian ) long back, was named after nasser.

I think mostly it was linked to oil politics involving international powers.

the gulf has enough oil under western control... the libya invasion was about politics purely... libyan influence went far and wide, among various revolutionary groups... and gaddafi was a ideas man... you should watch his 2009 uno general assembly speech... perhaps the uno's finest speech.

Students are free to choose any language in India. Be it Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian etc and mainly these all are religious languages and these religions are existed and are followed by billions.

When did i said students can't chose? They chose Sanskrit because it's easy to get good marks in it because it's a simple language to learn considering they are already familiar with Hindi script. Nothing to do with religious texts unless they want to pursue higher studies in Sanskrit itself.

well, true in way... and it would need a separate thread.

since this is off-topic, i will withdraw from this discussion and quit the thread.

I have read article about a Muslim Kerala girl who pursued higher studies in Sanskrit and i think here its more about the interest in understanding the similarity among religions and understanding about the Supreme Creator.

Muslim girl tops Kerala’s Sanskrit Vedanta course - Indian Express

A Rahmath, 21, a native of Kayamkulam, has emerged the topper in Sanskrit from the college run by the State Temple Affairs Board in Kollam. Daughter of an NRI, Rahmath had first embraced Sanskrit as a second language at the higher secondary level after abandoning Arabic, which she studied till Class X.

"I have genuine interest in Sanskrit, which is part of the Indian tradition and culture. Despite being orthodox, my parents supported the decision to take Sanskrit as the main subject. I will pursue higher studies in Vedanta," Rehmath said.

@jamahir why are you always in favour of dead and dying dictators like Saddam, Gaddafi, Castro - the worst in humanity who brought nothing but misery to their people
