SABHA - 4M Report Arvind Kumar, 30 Apr 2009 Your regular dose of pseudosecularism SABHA roots for Taliban Whoda thunk it? We're rooting for Taliban! Apparently, the Taliban is in a war to take over the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and its forces briefly took over the district adjoining Islamabad. Go Taliban! Obama bombs Pakistan after Pakistanis vote for him Strange people, the Pakistanis. One of the first things that Barack Obama did after taking office as US President was to bomb Pakistan. He had promised to do so during his campaign, but Pakistanis in the US were thrilled that he had pronounced Pakistan correctly instead of pronouncing it in the American way as PACK-i-stan. The Pakistanis decided to vote for him based on this pronunciation. Mulayam Yadav to ban internet and rail system Mulayam Singh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party has promised to ban computers if his party comes to power in the parliamentary elections. "India is a country with millions of unemployed hands and if we go on computerising everything, we will soon have a bigger army of unemployed youth," Mulayam Singh told reporters. Unmindful of the flak his election manifesto had drawn on account of the anti-computer and anti-English stance, he said: "Nothing should be allowed to go beyond certain limits. We have seen enough of computerisation and any further move in that direction would be detrimental to the overall growth of the nation." Mulayam Singh will also ban trucks and trains and let hundreds of workers do the job of the train by carrying loads and running between various places. Journalist cracks the case of IC-814 hijacking! Siddharth Varadarajan, a long time Taliban supporter (he supported the Taliban even before SABHA supported it), has uncovered startling details about the hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight from Kathmandu in late 1999. Apparently, there was only one hijacker involved in the operation and he "singlehandedly" managed to hijack the plane. The hijacker was none other than LK Advani, the then Home Minister! Check out this link for details. Moron of the Decade Lots of contenders for the 'Moron of the Month' award, but this time we're giving a 'Moron of the Decade' award to a person who has spent the better part of the decade working to get this award. The Moron of the Decade award goes to Teesta Setalvad. Apparently, she wanted to mislead the authorities by cooking up claims about killings during the riots in Gujarat in 2002. So she had 22 "witnesses" file identical affidavits! Mr Rohatgi also told the court that 22 witnesses, who had submitted identical affidavits before various courts relating to riot incidents, were questioned by SIT. "It was found that they were tutored. The affidavits were handed over to them by Ms Setalvad. They had not actually witnessed the riot," the counsel said. Apparently, she believed that repeating the claim about 2000 Muslims being killed had worked and so she tried fooling the investigators by repeating the claims in the affidavit. Pakistani beheads wife A Pakistani man in the US beheaded his wife after she served divorce papers on him. The man had set up a TV channel in order to, hold your breath, project a positive image of Islam! Muzzammil Hassan, who founded Bridges TV in November 2004 to counter anti-Islam stereotypes, surrendered to police Thursday. Hassan touted the network as the "first-ever full-time home for American Muslims," according to a press release. "Every day on television we are barraged by stories of a 'Muslim extremist, militant, terrorist, or insurgent,'" Hassan said in the 2004 release. "But the stories that are missing are the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence that Bridges TV hopes to tell."
