#1 How seductive the Taliban make their religion: even roads that improve trade between villages are haram. Contrast that with the courage of the Hindu construction workers, who sacrifice their comfort and even their lives to support their families. Namaste. (I think that's right -- does anyone know for certain?)

#2 Namaste means "hello" in Hindi. Dhanayavaad is thank you.

Of course, Hindi is only one of about 14 official languages of India.

#4 The ISI has given orders that Indian economic activity should be curtailed.

A former ISI chief even indirectly joked about the killing and beheading of the Indian road engineer.

He wrote in a Pak newspaper that Pakistan's allies are quite happy playing "hindukushi".
"Buzkushi" is an Afghan game on horseback, played with a decapitated goat.

#5 Thanks, Rambler. Another place Mr. Wife never took me, darn him! He was afraid I'd want to adopt all the street people, and the house isn't anywhere big enough. Apparently I have homeless kitten issues. We were discussing the language/dialect issue here the other day. Perhaps it'd be safest if I just said, thank you.
