Signed in Yahoo to check mybloglog message alerts when this caught my eyes.

Well, i am totally against discussing religion on internet in the first place as in here where you can’t express your point to the full. But rubbish on sites like yahoo as i mentioned compel me to do so.

and into reply to the reporter, author, editor, may i say;

What the hell is God damn problem with you if Saudi police cracks down on people abiding local law? There are hell lot of people detained for breaking law in their country, i never saw a yahoo news report that states a group of youngsters caught for driving fast at Chicago or Kentucky. Its just that you, (yahoo) try to shout out loud, “hey, look at Muslims.. they hate flirting.. hahaha.. so much conservative they are” I’m not defending Muslims or Christians or any other religion but the point is, why are you placing such a minor news on your main page which nobody is interested in other than those who want to find out some ugly logics to support their shameless propaganda against any particular religious belief.

The bottom line i must say, is. Muslims shouldn’t mention a minor news report of “total number of gays in newyork” or headlining a chapter of Bible. Christians shouldn’t highlight a Muslim belief.. and ya.. Yahoo shouldn’t place shit like “Saudi police crack down on flirting in Mecca” on their main page.. Again, just don’t discuss anything religious.. you have anything to say? say nice and good which is beneficial for others, else shut the hell up !

18th Feb, 2008. Around 5:00 am PST and i am doing nothing but enjoying big guns of PML (Q) getting ruined and literally burned as results coming in by the media. Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar, the General Secretary of Pakistan Peoples Party defeated PML (Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain. Another Chaudhry called as Perveiz Elahi is also lagging behind in his respected constituencies. Sheikh Rasheed, the former Information and Railway Minister lost election battle in both his constituencies at Rawalpindi. Some names worth mentioning who lost their ‘military ministeries’ include;

Moulana Fazal-ur-Rehman in D.I. Khan (Former so called pro government Opposition Leader)

Liaqat Jatoi  (Former Minister Water And Power)

Choudhry Ameer Hussain (Former Speaker National Assembly)

Khursheed Mehmood Kasoori (Former Foreign Minister)

Danial Aziz (Former Head Of National Reconstruction Bureau)

Rao Sikandar Iqbal (Former Minister For Defense)

Hamid Nasir Chattha (Former Member Of Kashmir Committie)

Naseer Khan (Former Minister For Health)

Ishaq Khan Khakwani (Former Minister Of State For Information & Technology)

Got to me some extra bucks this week via adsense.. Alot of projects are in my mind.. and i really wanna work on em all.. but the prob is with the time management. Its been almost 2 months or so since i summed up the domain suggestion contest at dp. Now, a long chat session with Alex encouraged me to start off another serious stuff.  Whats demanding in the market? well, i am not updated with this. Most probably the project for which i started domain suggestion contest should be in the line first. If any of my readers come up with something new, please don’t hesitate to suggest me by commenting here or contact me if you want to keep it personal.

living like a free bird..
