Religion is a crutch for their undemocratic, feudal, retrograde, oligarchic, self-flagellating, intolerant, death-dealing, jealous, imperial but impotent acts and attitudes. A spade is a spade no matter what you call it euphemistically. New York Times today condemned the referendum bid by the general. The US Govt. is not happy about it; its reaction is tepid because he has done so much for the US; the general is taking advantage of this US silence for his uncontested bid for suprademocratic supersupreme presidency. What a clown! ROFLMAO. The Pakistani people have no say in this matter, because he once threatened that he could have invested himself with the supreme power without the consent of the people or referendum. Govt. employees and others, for fear of losing their job, would vote their pocket books. Extract from news: "Muslims, wherever they are, don't want to live peacefully. They want to spread terror in the name of religion," he said last Friday at a public meeting in Goa. "Leaders around the world I have met are worried about this. "There are two faces to Islam, one...teaches tolerance and truth, and the other is militancy, jihad in the name of Islam, they want the whole world to be in the Islamic fold. This is the face we are seeing nowadays everywhere," he said. "Vajpayee's assertion that Islamic militancy is the main danger facing the world today is absolutely right," the mass circulation Hindi daily Dainik Jagran said. "It's not right to conceal the dangers posed by Islamic fundamentalism." "Forget about whether holding elections in Gujarat is right or wrong, the fact is we will sweep the elections. No Muslim will have the guts to come out and vote," said a BJP leader.
