---------------------------------------------------------------------------- God, to me, it seems, is a verb, not a noun, proper or improper. -R. Buckminster Fuller, engineer, designer, and architect (1895-1983) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <<A culture of hatred and arrogance is what US culture is.>> though it was a gruesome incident it is clearly a case of mistaken identity. the attackers thought he was muslim. i have always maintained that americans n israelis are not complete bufoons like us to keep kissinig their enemy time n again even as the enemy gets bolder n repeatedly kicks u. one 9/11 is enough "even" for the average american to realise that islam is the enemy whereas centuries of holocaust n partition have not taught indians anything (except maybe some stupid concepts like p-secularism that some people pursue to a suicidal extent). secondly it is a very isolated incident the likes of which are to be found in india too pretty frequently. so does that make our culture intolerant and arrogant. thirdly in most "muslim" nations such incidents are not isolated but form the actual basis of the law n culture. discrimination for non-muslims and torture is thier raison de atre. (afghanistan,pakistan,bangladesh,saudi-arabia,iraq just to name a few). so would u please comment on the quality of culture in the 60 odd such nations. in america non-whites n minorities can live much more peacefully "than" in many other countries of the world.(this does not imply that discrimination n mayhem is zero. the word "than" clearly indicates that the statement is comparitive in nature). so please defend ur argument in the light of these points. cheers -AJ ___________________________________________________ Click below to experience Sooraj Barjatya's latest offering 'Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon' starring Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan & Kareena Kapoor http://www.mpkdh.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To join/leave, use the form at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/#options This list is archived at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/archive.html
