Facebook page that led to Pakistani ban removed By CHRIS BRUMMITT (AP) – 33 minutes ago ISLAMABAD — A Facebook page that was considered offensive to Islam and led to a Pakistani ban on the site has been removed, possibly by its creator. Facebook said Friday it has not taken any...

Facebook page that led to Pakistani ban removed ISLAMABAD — A Facebook page that was considered offensive to Islam and led to a Pakistani ban on the site has been removed, possibly by its creator. Facebook said Friday it has not taken any action on the page. It had attracted more than...

I am comparing the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas to the destruction of the Babri masjid. Both were sacred to someone and there was no justification for destroying either. Now you are extending the issue to deaths of persons, while I was talking about the limited issue of destruction of...

That sounds amazingly like the VHP/RSS/Shiv Sena/BJP's reasoning when it comes to the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

Exactly. You had some justification in your mind to do it. And you didn't bother to think whether it would offend Jews before you did it. Or if you did, you didn't care. All Israelis/Jews were not responsible for those 2 deaths. Yet you did something that would be extremely offensive to all...

I did read the first paragraph. You condemn the Taliban as not being real Muslims and for attacking Pakistan. But you go on to suggest that if one creates a Frankenstein, he shouldn't complain later if it turns against him. My point being - isn't the Taliban Pakistan's Frankenstein gone wrong...

Shouldn't your logic also extend to the Taliban then? We know who helped create them....

All this complaining about people drawing offensive cartoons sounds kind of hypocritical when it comes from someone who has an Israeli flag with the Star of David replaced with a Swastika as his avatar. I'm sure you'll have some reason/explanation for your avatar which would be offensive to...

If the husband didn't care about Muslim technicalities, he should have indeed got married under civil law i.e. the Special Marriage Act in India. Unfortunately for him, that Act allows a person to have only a single spouse at a time. He was already married, something he did not disclose to the...

Here's what the Pakistan Supreme Court said about eunuchs Dawn | SC directs for protection of eunuchs’ rights Hope we get out of the attitude of mocking people for who they are. In the end we are all human beings. Let's learn to respect each other.

Well I found several sources online, which concur with my view. Going for Second Marriage: Do I Need Wife’s Permission? Wife's Permission for Second Marriage Taking a second wife Validity of marrying a second wife for mere love and without consent of first wife In fact it is...

Sonia Gandhi chose not to become the PM because of her foreign origins. In a country that was colonised, it was probably a smart move on her part to avoid any controversy. No one for a second has suggested that she didn't become PM because she's a woman. First time I hear such nonsense.

Not that I support any anti-conversion law, but you seem to be misinformed. Such laws exist in a few states and even there do not ban conversion per se. They require the authorities to be informed before any conversion takes place and provide for punishment in case this is not done. So people...

Darul Ifta Fatwa

What you describe is the position in Pakistan and Bangladesh under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, which requires an application before an Arbitration council, giving reasons and consent of the first wife. This is not the position under Indian law. Under Indian law, a Muslim man can...

Deoband fatwa: It's illegal for women to work, support family LUCKNOW: Darul Uloom Deoband, the self-appointed guardian for Indian Muslims, in a Talibanesque fatwa that reeked of tribal patriarchy, has decreed that it is "haram" and illegal according to the Sharia for a family to accept a...

They could marry under the Special Marriage Act. But one should note that the succession to the person's property is then governed by the Indian Succession Act and NOT according to Islamic law. Some Hindus might regard themselves to be monotheistic and not indulging in idol worship. But I do...

Interesting topic I looked up the topic in Mulla's and Fyzee's books on Muslim law in India. They actually state that a marriage between a Muslim man and a woman who is not a kitabiya i.e. "an idolater or fire-worshipper" would not be batil(void) but fasid(just irregular). The logic behind...

The issue has little to do with quality of programming or demand for channels, which has been the main topic of discussion on this thread. The reason for non availability of Pakistani channels in India is the Indian Government's Policy Guidelines for Downlinking of Television Channels...
