After Haj Subsidy, They need Baggage Subsidy as well!

28/12/2007 10:14:52 HKJeddah: Islamic Scholars say “The Hajj makes Muslims feel real importance of life here on earth, and the afterlife, by stripping away all markers of social status, wealth, and pride.”We the generous Indians also contribute a portion of our Tax Money, for our Muslim Brothers to conduct this Haj Pilgrimage in the name of “Haj Subsidy”- Thinking those who go for Haj will return back as an ideal citizen who strips away all markers of social status, wealth, and pride.But many few know that their prime concern is shopping and not the so called pilgrimage which we give Subsidy!“Air India has left nearly 130 Haj pilgrims from India stranded at Saudi Arabia's Jeddah airport after the flight they were scheduled to board took off without them” laments our National Dailies.The Haji’s who went to Haj by taking Subsidy from our pockets were denied boarding as they were not ready to pay the excess baggage ! Usually if flying by Commercial flights only 20 kg of checked-in luggage and seven kg of hand baggage are allowed, But those going with Haj Subsidy under Govt. of India are getting an added benefit of 45 kg of checked-in luggage and 10 kgs as hand baggage free of cost.Even after this added allowance on baggage they still want the Government to pay for their excess baggage!

Shopping SubsidyCome on you guys - they need the electronic goods to be good muslims. Where else do you expect them to hide the bombs - have you any idea how many kafirs will continue to live in peace because of this - so unislamic really.

Baggage subsidyC'mon my hindu brothers. Try to understand. The haji'leave india with a big wish list to bring electronics, clothes, chinese made electrical items back to India. They pray so hard that god gives all these things free of charge. Obviously they have to squeeze us tax payers to uplift all these goods. After all it is only once in a life time that they get to go for shopping...ooopsss...I am sorry... for haj.....This is the height of hypocracy. (1) Longer the beard...bigger the ego.(2) THe more fanatic they are ...the chances of sitting on the right hand side of Allah becomes more ...after death.. THat is why they are eager to blow themselves up...to sit on the right hand side. I have working in the middle east for 17 years and I can tell you...many of our spiritually charged brothers offer their prayers in Mecca and vanish off and emerge as Mr. Hajikutty of Malappuram district after a couple of years. By then he has illegaly done business like money laundering, black marketing and pimping and make tons of money and build a mansion in Keral anad rent it out to the movie industry.There is a lot to learn from this religion.The mor

Baggage Subsidy Next subsidy is for their daily defecation I suppose. sonia, arjun, lalloo, mulayam, ysr, chandrababu,manmohan, pratibha, karuna,budda,amarsing,yechury,carrot,gowda,chidambaram,jaya etc will arrange free washing for their bottoms by taxing Hindu pilgrims visiting Temples and reducing subsidy to dying Hindu farmers.

The undying sense of want.

A religion, if it is to have the intended effect on one, should transform one into a spiritual person, meaning, one should be progressively detached from things material. While Islam might not even qualify as a religion because it does not seem to have as its aim the idea of man transforming into a spiritual being, with its aim actually being only to make the individual a die hard slave of Allah, the case is not the same in Hinduism. Hinduism is nothing if its aim is not spiritual. Therefore I've always wondered why, for instance, any individual should need for than one tin of aravana payasam? Unabating greed seems to manifest when Ayyappas desire to take home as many as 10 tins or more. “For the others who have not made the pilgrimage”, one might say. I am not arguing on this, for reasons can always be aplenty. But the point is, much thoughts of ‘wanting’ seem to float at temple darshans when pilgrimages should actually reduce our sense of want.
