#2 Well, wanting all that but insisting that all the Western parts of science and technology be left out is ....

rather amusing.

#3 I dream that using nano-tech technology stolen from a Terminator II bot we turn the ME into a lame version of the Borg then reprogram it into a nice happy place with butterfly flitting about in the nice lush redwood forsest that replaced those yuchy desert.

The stream flow with tasty Reisling and the coconuts have kalua already inside. Mecca and Mediana become Universal Studios Entertainment parks and their solar arrays shade the camel free land. Nano tech makes it all work tied in with swarm technology and the reprogramming of all living there (including sand flys)...

(^8 Oh what a beautful place it could be...

#4 Yea all those bad western ideas like Newton's Third Law and the conservation of energy. Most major "religions" incorperate these in their dogma someplace in as many words. Islam fails to. It's why Islamic countries are the shit holes they are. Keep dreaming fool.

#5 I wonder what happened to the part about: "in my dream, all the Jews in Israel march down to the sea, swim out as far as they can, and then drown themeselves - after, of course, they give the keys to their homes, their cars, and their banks accounts to the local Palestinians".

Hey Abdul - when the oil runs out, you and your lazy fellow ragheads will once again become nomadic peasants. I wish you and yours all the joys of 12th century life - nasty, brutish and short as it may have been.

#7 This is part one of his dream

I too have a dream - Part I
By HAMID NILNAGI

Last month a brother of ours had expressed his dream through Greater Kashmir. His dream of being an Indian and Kashmiri Muslim at once prompted me to pour out my heart too. Every one has a right to dream. People imagine good or bad, as everyone has a right to visualize whatever he or she likes because it does not cost and does not harm anyone so far they are within the confines of ones mind. But whenever dreams take any form whether words or actions they begin to show reaction. Newtonâs law finds its application here âTo every action there is an equal and opposite reactionâ.
My fellow countrymen I too have a dream that one day my nation will succeed, it will overcome, and we will win. Here is a question that what I mean by my nation. It will mean different for different people. For some it is Kashmir only while for some it is Pakistan and for few others like my dreaming brother India. However my nation is something different from these visualizations. My nation encompasses the whole Islamic world from Africa to Europe, South East Asia to Arabia and Asia to Central Asia. My land âKashmirâ forms a special part of it. I visualize my land as a part of a bigger Islamic land or world. The nation constituted of Africa. Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Iran, Arab peninsula upto Palestine (including Jerusalem) Pakistan, Tajkistan etc. as one world of mine. The todayâs sovereign Muslim states (though not sovereign in real sense but slave states) as its provinces. It must be such that if I start sojourn from Srinagar no one will stop me to travel to any place in my ideal Islamic world. I need no travel documents and no police will check me to traverse any part of it whether be it Grozny or West Bank or Srinagar or Christina. I dream of a single government to rule the whole world headed by one Caliph who will have no palace to sleep except an ordinary and modest place under the sky. A great man like Hazrat Umar who will be accessible to all without any guards or darbans in between. Accessible more to farmers, laborers and poor people than to riches. There will be rule of law, no one will have right to harm or kill anyone. Everyoneâs life will be protected as ordained in the book of Allah.
My nation will have a national capital situated in our beloved land of Hijaz where our Caliph and his associates will guide and serve the whole ummah. Besides it will have three sub-capitals one each at Jerusalem, Kaulalampur and Islamabad where we will have headquarters of our Aerial, Naval and Armed forces respectively. In addition there will be provincial capitals where provincial Amirs will run day to day affairs of our people. The Caliph and these Amirs will serve the Ummah as per the spirit of Qurâan and will be appointed only by the national/provincial shura which will consist of Ulema (highly god fearing learned men in both fields of Islam and technology with a practical background).
My land will have a national language, the language of Qurâan - Arabic, in which we will be taught all sciences whether Islamic or technological sciences. Besides, Arabic as a national language, people of my Islamic world will have their native language as additional language. I dream when Maulana Romi and Shiekh Saadi will replace Shakespere and John Milton. I dream when Baghdad, Bukhara, Samarkand, Ankara, Tehran, Kosovo, Islamabad, Dubia, Mecca, Medina, Tashkent, Groznyy, Kaulalampur, Jakarta, Khartoum, Jerusalem, Damascus, Qahira, Srinagar etc will have Universities of international standard and no student from any corner of my dream Islamic world will have any difficulty in getting admissions and studying his/her stream of like at any of these institutions at minimum cost with specially concession to economically downtrodden. I wait when these centres will replace London, Newyork, Berlin etc. I dream when our lands will again give birth to the people like Imam Bukhari, Razi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Khaldoon, Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Nafis, Allama Iqbal from whose works the rest of world will again learn. I dream that when mothers like Hazrat Fatima RA, Hazrat Aisha RA, Hazrat Khadija RA, Hazrat Umm Salma RA and Rabia Basri will be there. Above all I believe and hope that once again Hussain RA, Hassan RA, Khalid RA, Zubair RA and make people show that Islam neither stands for head counted democracy nor Shiekhdom of Arabia.
My Islamic land will have big centres of learning where besides Islamic sciences latest technology will be taught leaving out the current western teachings. It will do away with that mad pursuit of technology that plays havoc with the moral and cultural upbringing of our children. Here I may point out Qurâan must have central focus in Islamic Sciences besides Prophetâs (SAW) sunnah which were mainly responsible before to help my people to be at the top of the world.

#8 Nobody questions my sister's Purdah? Riiiiight. Because the Afghani women showed how much women like the gift of purdah when it was given them by the Taliban.
