| Jaranwala joins the anti-obscenity drive According to daily Pakistan Naz Theatre in Jaranwala was the venue of fuhush naked dance when the police attacked the cinema and arrested all the artistes performing a cultural show there. The religious parties staged a violent protest at the staging of the show in Naz Theatre after which the police attacked the theatre and arrested the dancers and the audience. The audience was let off later on the payment of some âfeeâ to help the poor policemen and the artistes were subjected to police treatment. Jehad went out of hand Columnist Nazeer Naji wrote in Jang that Pakistan army had allowed the jihadi outfits to fight its wars in Afghanistan and Kashmir but these organisations got out of hand because of being exempt from Pakistani law. They accumulated wealth and weapons and became a coercive force in society spreading sectarianism and other crime. He said these elements were interfering in the genuine freedom struggle in Kashmir. Irshad Haqqani on Tariq Ali Veteran journalist Irshad Haqqani wrote in Jang that while he agreed with most of what Tariq Ali had to say in his recent Eqbal Ahmad memorial lecture in Lahore, he did not agree that Americaâs only interest in Iraq was oil. Tariq Ali had said that the US would have attacked Iraq even if there had been a Hindu or Buddhist government in Iraq. Irshad Haqqani thought that America was targeting the Muslims everywhere in the world and Iraq came under attack because it belonged to the Muslim civilisation. He thought America was not merely pursuing oil in Iraq but also Islamic civilisation. Jamaat takes action in NWFP According to daily Pakistan Jamaat Islami went out in the streets and took vigilante action against all advertisement hoardings showing female face. They blackened the ads and tore down hoardings in certain cases. Earlier chief minister Akram Durrani cancelled the permits of all hotels selling alcohol to non-Muslims on licence. Science book explains ânarâ and âmadaâ Daily Khabrain printed public protest at class seventh science textbook which explained the reproductive function of male and female human beings. The paper said that the sexual function was clearly explained therefore the textbook had been rendered obscene. According to the paper parents had refused to get their children to read the government-produced textbook. The parents appealed that the government should immediately ban the shameful and anti-Shariat textbook and punish those responsible in the textbook board. |

| #5 Once again, the Urdu press reminds me how dangerous, anti-life, anti-spirit, and anti-intelligence "Islam" truly is. I pity those who have to suffer under this death cult. Just remember: This is what the Muslim world wants for America, her sons and her daughters. Do you? ________________________________ Dar al Islam is dead: Reason burned it down. |

| #4 Do you serve Urdu nuggets with a tomato based BBQ sauce or a molasses based sauce? Just wondered. |

| #3 Does the price of admission to see the fuhush naked dance include the bribe for the poor policemen when they inevitably show up or do they add that on later like a surcharge? Is it considered tax deductible as a contribution to the "artistes"? |
