I was wondering, why you have start lacking your patience, you were and still I believe you are a person, having full control on our patience.
abbasiali said:Great Feed back,gazoomartian said:Alhamdulillah all my three girls are nimazi and were all educted in Canada. The 30yo reads Qur'an almost like a Qari and almost like in an Arab accent.
I am a junior junior qari myself. When I work in a US small town and if there is no fultime hired Imam, it has been my sa'adat to do imamat. I do Juma khutba that I research and write myslef. And may be thats why brothers, specially new american Muslims, have loved my khutbah's because when you write yourself it carries immense amount of conviction.
Let me a short true story. Some times in early 90's I received a note from our kid's school that few days later, the kids in class would have a dance lesson. The teacher instructed the kids to find their opposite sex partner from within the class for dance lesson.
When I read that note, I wrote a full one page letter addressed to the principle. I contended in the letter that our kids will not be attending dance lessons as it is against value of Islam. I aslo, vehemently threatened that if kids are forced to dance anyway, I shall write to the school board.
My daughter handed the letter to the receptionist around8 AM , the school time, and I received a call from the principle at 8:10, which I have not forgotten and never will the swiftness of the scholl office.
The principle voice was shaking and full of appology and our kids were exempted immediately ( without using article 248 :D )
The principle was afraid of losing his position had I taken him to the shcool board.
So bro/sis it is also how WE FEEL as a parent and how much we want to do to convince the school, for example, that we believe and follow Islamic principle.
Gazoo Martian
I wish Pakistani and other Muslims should follow the same, its "WE" who instruct them, not "THEY" who tell us what to do, Same thing happened to me, when I was shocked to see in kids report card their Music feed back, and when I send them a meeting message, it was something awesome to experience, they immediately send the report card with correction and call from principal with fill of apology.
Its quite obvious, if I am staying in Canada, I am Canadian, If I am resident of Ontario, I am Ontarian, and being an Oak ville resident, I am know as Man from Oak ville, but it does not change my ethnicity, Mainly I am called as Pakistani Canadian. So whats the out come. No one can force me to adopt their name or their culture or their civilization.
Here I am agree with Pakpatriot no one have right to ask me to be called as base on ethnicity where I am living, I should not be asked to give up my culture or Identity, just because I am living in one particular place.
When Qaid e Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah heard that there are hundreds of thousand Muslims migrating towards Pakistan, and vice versa, he said What Non Sense. The idea was to create an independent country where majority of people are Muslims not other way round to gather all the Muslims from all over India and make a separate country.
One can give any meanings to my words to satisfy personal thought process is ones own choice but I did not say that Muslims in minority provinces in India had no right to come and live in Pakistan. It was their own choice to migrate but Jinnah or other leaders at the time did not urge them to mirgrate.If Pakistan was made by muslim majority provinces and those muslims who were in minority in other provinces had no right to settle in this new country as per Quad-e-Azam said. (I don't know when and where he said so). It means the two nation theory of Allama Iqbal was false.
Angrazon Ke Kuttey Nehlane wale Dono Taraf Thay, Tiwanas, Doltanas in Pakistan and Nawabs, Nizamsand Pataudis in India. Liaquat Ali Khan and Nizam Hyderabad were Nawabs but also active politicians and they migrated out of their political conviction. By default the ones in Pakistan were to remain there and they benefitted. No one could kick them out of the country.AngrazoN ke Kuttey Nehlane wale or tehreek-e-azaadi mieN ghddari kerne wale aaj Jaagirdaar bene bethey heiN and Liaquat Ali Khan, Nizam Hyderabad Duccan and thousands of like them were stupids who sacrificed all their wealth and lives for this country.
.In that way, look like Altaf Hussain is right that Pakistan is a Blunder (personally I don't agree with him though)

Though Urdu speaking...So am I living in Punjab, we also left our language for your language to make it our language for Pakistan
I done like to be called Muhajir... but some people love to say "You Muhajirs" .... seems sort of insulting.. because I never migrated.... well... never mind... who cares...I never call anyone Muhajir, but if someone insists that they are still Muhajir then guess what his heart and mind is in UP; Bihar or where ever he or they come. Its a sad reflection on their part
My sincere advice to those who are proud so called "sons of soil"....It is not our fault that our land became Pakistan, I am sure it is your land as well if you willing to except it or be called Resident Alien for ever.
Dont treat us like we re not Pakistanis... Meray Bhai you guys are missing the point totally, nobody is saying that you are not Pakistanis...we are trying to prove that you Meray Bahai are not Muhajir but Pakistani
Do you think we should choose NOON or JI or peoples Party above MQM? Nobody is objecting to that fact you guys support MQM, all we are trying to say that Altaf Hussain is nothing but a traitor by any stretch of the imagination just like anyone else who says anything against the very foundations of our dear country
What do they have to their credit??? Corruption, Extremism, Opportunism????? Here where the problem lies with you "Muhajirs". Meray Bhai when you say or use the sentence "They have to their credit", you implying that only you people are honest and hard working and the rest of the country is all corrupt; extreme and Opp... Read the list of the NRO clowns, and you will find your community also actively involved in this plunder
At least MQM did something for the city...Nobody has denied that but please you guys have tendency of your over board
Patriot....
There is a saying....
Never argue with ignorant people.....Check the literacy rate of different areas of Pakistan, maybe that will open your eyes
They will bring you down to your level...
and then beat you with their experience....If you knew or cared to get out of your "superiority" complex, then you would not use such quote
GeoG said:Sagaciouscorpion Brother,
I agree that some people like to say, You Mohajir that is a situational fact. If I am in a minority in Pashtuns friends , they would say, You Punjabi... I do understand that there is 60 years of bitterness but time has come to overcome it.

So, what is your response to your Pushtun friends then? You say yourself Punjabi or Pakistani?
Don't deny, everybody knows what would be your first answer to them. i.e. "YES I AM PUNJABI".
This is the reality based on human nature. No one can go against the nature.
The same case applies on us. First you label us as MUHAJIRS and when we accept it, you start abusing us and telling us you are GHADDARS because you say yourselves MUHAJIRS.
Why double standards you guys have?
You know what? Your inner hate against us will never eliminate. You people will keep bringing new issues everyday against us.
I don't know why I am invloved in this rubbish discussion. Looks like we MQM and MUHAJIR people are the biggest criminals in this land and every morning we have to clarify ourselves from new allegations that are being put on us all the time.
We explain and clear one false allegation on us then you guys bring another. Even when you don't have a new one you start over from the first one and come back to square one.
It seems this vicious circle will never end. I should leave you guys on your own. if you are happy to abuse us, do it, you choice.
BUT in this dirty exercise, mind it, you are not serving to Pakistan, you are just digging its root

Ok... Language First....
Do you think there could have been any other language except Urdu which could be national language of Pakistan?Nobody is or has questioned that, but we Punjab speak Punjabi, Urdu and English
Dont people in Punjab speak Punjabi? Have they left speaking Punjabi? And why should we
Same goes with Pushtu, Baluchi and all the other languages in Pakistan....And why should they
Nobody has left their language....as you said earlier...Correct
Our country was created on some common grounds... if you remove the commonalities... we loose the purpose of existence...
Loving ones language and culture is not bad...and its not something to be ashamed of...
but it should not be a means of discriminating people.... My God who discrimminating and I take it you are refering toMuhajirs being disccriminated. Now let me expand on this, and please do not change the subject. And I am sure you have read my post under different threads, and here I go for millionth time but for the sake of our country I do it the billionth time. Lets start with Education:
Literacy rate 1947
Whole of Pakistan 10%
Muhajir's 20% (Both approx)
This difference made you guys as the most educated community at that time.
2008
Pakistan 54%
Punjab 57%
karachi 77%
Lahore 64%
Pakistan Census
Now keep in mind you are mere 7% of the total population. Such a big jump in literacy rate in Punjab as well as Karachi brings hordes of people for jobs in Public as well as private sectors. Now guess what who has 80 million out of the total of 170m people. Yes you are right Punjab, this also makes us the most productive; richest among the provices. Now if you guys attain 100% litracy rate, you still cannot compete with us in the job market. You will always be the minority, and I am not being scarastic but realistic. If we wanted to discriminate against you guys, you would be competing with Indian Muslims by now and their litracy rate is 24% still, although India's litracy rate is close to 67%. And you guys have reached what I repeat 77%. Yea buddy some discrimination.
Meray Bhai wait for a reply and then cover a diffrent area.
God Bless Pakistan
Azhar
I am an academic... My personal thinking is that instead of teaching Pakistan studies in schools, there should have been a subject called "languages of Pakistan" and at least two languages other than the mother tongue should be taught to increase harmony and decrease communication gap between the people... Keeping Urdu as the major bridge....We already doing that Urdu, Punjabi or English. When are you guys going to learn Sindhi to integrate into your homeland, what do you say
What do you have to say???
