How is that Different from Valentine Day Celebrations in Pakistan.
Don't get me wrong, Both are wrong but we need to be critical of ourselves too.

Anything that brings happiness to human beings is wrong to you guys. You can waste your life over a 1400 year old fraud and superstition but at-least let other people enjoy their one life.

No one is against the Jews or Judaism. Its the apartheid state of Israel and it's illegal military occupation of Palestine that we are against.

I know you folk have tried very very hard and somewhat succeeded to turn Israel, Jews and Judaism into one monolithic synonym so any criticism of Israel is equated to criticism of Jews and Judaism and instantly labels of anti Semitism can be thrown out and dialogue shut down. So Israel's illegal occupation can never be discussed in a proper and open manner.

F u Ck off mirzai :)

I know it hurts to hear the truth but if you believe that a book written by creator of 400 billion galaxies makes basic scientific mistakes, calls the Earth is flat, institutionalizes slavery, justifies rape and torture and mentions nothing that is not already known to man, and the man delivering the message has personal benefits involved if you listen to him, such as power and access to dozens of women, then I am sorry to say you are victims of an elaborate fraud.

These Arab's are just Muslim's by name. Anyway as a Pakistani I do not care what they do in UAE or Saudi. They can do whatever they want in their country. The fate of these people was foretold centuries back of how they will be killed like dog's by their newly found brothers. We will not be sending our military to help them either.

We should treat Arab filth like how Iran, Turkey, USA and NATO do. Bomb the bastards to the pits of hell! This is the language these rag headed pigs understand. This is why they respect their oppressors, rapists and killers so much!.

As a Pakistani I say screw all rag heads. Pak has made a wise choice by standing with China, Russia, Iran and Turkey where as these filthy rag heads lick the boots of the Jews and Hindu's. Return their money then tell them to fk off, permanently. These ragheads have forgotten how the Jews were fucking their women in Abu Ghraib prison getting them all pregnant and making their men kiss each others ass! Now after befriending them Israel will do much worse to all the countries like Saudi and UAE who have recognised them.

You aren't the first one and you won't be the last one to desecrate the religion and its teachings ,but truth of the matter is, it keeps on getting flourished and enlightening those who are inquisitive and in search of guidance.

Your religion isnt the first one and wont be the last one, many have come and gone and expired once people realized that religions are just pyramid schemes designed to fool people.

You believe the creator of 400 billion galaxies would write a book to send his message when 99% of the population cannot read and write, and then he would put nothing in that message that was not known to humans before. What an insult to human intelligence. Only in 3rd world countries and Arab countries with lower IQ will people buy this bullshit.
