| Son of Chinioti follows father According to Nawa-e-Waqt late Maulana Manzur Chinioti's son Ilyas Chinioti has put on his turban after his death and vowed to continue the laudable work of apostatisation of his father. Upon becoming leader he called the caliph of the Ahmedi community Mirza Masroor to a mubahila, a supernatural verbal combat in which the false speaker falls down dead. 'I am not Qadiani!' According to Khabrain prime minister in waiting Shaukat Aziz said that he was not a Qadiani and all the rumours spread about his being one were false and malicious. He pronounced Al Hamdul Lillah and said that he was a Sunni Muslim and the clerics who instructed him in Islam were still alive and could vouch for his not being a Qadiani. Sarerahe in Nawa-e-Waqt stated that Mr Aziz's mother was in the habit of holding religious gatherings every month on the occasion of Giyarwin Sharif where great Sunni scholars came and lectured. She said her prayers five times a day. Girls will turn terrorists According to Jang captured Lashkar-e-Jhangvi terrorist Gul Hassan said that in the near future Al Qaeda girls would throw bombs and create havoc in Pakistan. He said that women's functions would be targeted by girls wearing school uniforms. He also said that women in the Shia schools would be targeted by women terrorists. Mufti Shamzai's killer identified According to Insaf, Karachi police chief Tariq Jameel revealed that on the basis of photographic records the constable who was eye-witness to the murder of Mufti Shamzai had been identified. One killer was Muhtasham who belonged to a banned jihadi organisation and was wanted for earlier sectarian murders. Faisalabad terrorist paradise? According to Insaf, 16 foreign religious students were rounded up in Faisalabad because they were staying in the city without a valid visa. They were from Nepal, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Uganda, Sudan, Nigeria and Tanzania. Their accounts were seized and their foreign teachers were also hauled up. They had initially come to Lahore for the grand congregation of Tablighi Jamaat for which the government runs special trains but after the gathering was over they moved to Faisalabad which are the headquarters of the Ahle Hadith (Wahhabi) Party. Manzur Wattoo and Manzur Chinioti According to daily Pakistan, when Maulana Manzur Chinioti became a member of Punjab's assembly, Manzur Wattoo was to be elected as house speaker. He wanted Chinioti's vote but Chinioti insisted that he first denounce his Qadiani religion. In order to get his vote Wattoo denounced the religion of his father and also later refrained from saying the funeral prayer of his father. Shaukat Aziz and the mullahs Columnist Nazeer Naji wrote in Jang that finance minister Shaukat Aziz was in the cross hairs of the mullahs and was making the mistake of responding to their challenges, as if he was not a candidate for premiership but for the imamat of a mosque. He had already announced his sect although the Constitution did not demand that. Next he could be revealing whether he was Barelvi or Deobandi or Ahle Hadith. Under pressure the future premier might even promise the rule of the Taliban in Pakistan. He was entering a dark tunnel with the mullahs. Once inside he would find it eternally black. |

| #16 My collection was backing up - needed airing so I can archive it, heh. My normal procedure is to post and keep them around for a few weeks, then yank 'em and burn 'em. BTW, note the file names - some are decent punnery, lol! |

| #13 Aw, WTF, heh! Consider this entire post as NSFW if you're in doubt... otherwise, enjoy... Regards girls, well... Not safe for weak minds... Okay, I've held back long enough... I am fascinated by many things of Japan - anime/manga/hentai included. So I've collected a few things... Japanese skirts which are not transparent, but have a clever design, heh, I have _1_ _2_ _3_ _4_ _5_ for your amusement. What will the Japanese think of next, heh. Better yet, is there anything the Japanese girls won't wear? Anything? Anywhere they won't go? Anything they won't do? Does nothing surprise them? Lol! Anime girls are, um, ambidextrous... And they're everywhere (love the tissue box, heh)... Even the men have their moments, heh. And for those who wannabee... But the Japanese are, indeed, fascinating and seem to enjoy Western confusion over the mixed messages. Even though I used to ride a Harley - with an attitude, I'd ride a ricer, heh. I guess I just love Japan, and Japanese wymyn. But even my anime girls tell me off, sometimes. |

| #9 Where do I find the rules for a mubahila? It sounds like a perfect opportunity for pay-per-view. I can pitch it to the execs as the ultimate reality show. Anna Nicole Smith for the ring announcer. We get Ashlee Simpson and Richard Hatch for colour commentary. |

| #7 Actually, I set the standard for tough anime schoolgirls back in '86. That beats Sailor Moon by half a decade. Okay, I'm going away now before I get banned by Fred. |

| #6 Actually I prefer Kogome (actually Faye from Cowboy Beebop is more my type but she doesn't have a schoo; girl uniform or shape.) Those girly girls in the hajib are no match for Japaneese school uniforms. |

| #3 I read this and started to read through Pravda for another "Nuggets from If I were up to it, I could put together something from there that would make this week's NFTUP look tame. But I'm not, I'm tired, and I have a lot to do. |
