Their fate will be no different than Goebbells'. Whether or not that destiny actually transpires
within our own lifetime, let it be repeatedly told at every opportunity, in every generation, and in
no uncertain terms, that in the hammaams (bath houses) of the hectoring hegemons, these
prostitutes are merely their “Bukakke” (borrowing that hideous new word which appears to be
the passionate pastime of many a Pakistani as I learnt here).
Unlike some others, I foolishly write under my own name with full self-identification. And I invite
these brilliant scholars who span the gamut of doctrinal warfare from peddling “Islam” with halftruths
to peddling Secular Humanism with outright deception, to haul me into the International
