| Why are the Jews ‘kanjoos’? —Khaled Ahmed’s Review of the Urdu press |
| 2005-10-21 |
| Writing in Jang (September 19, 2005) Mehmood Sham stated that as he prepared to sit at the table arranged by the World Jewish Council for Pakistani journalists he noticed that there were only sandwiches, tea and cold drinks for the Pakistani journalists. He remembered that Jews were famous for kanjoosi (miserliness). Behind the mikes on the stage the backdrop was of black cloth, just like the black past of Pakistan-Israel relations and possibly future also. |

| #7 Switch to mac? (Phil walks over to laptop bag...) OK, I'm booting up the mac... running Safari (it's the official OS X browser, more or less...) AND... Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' The mac couldn't read it either. Any useful suggestions? |

| #6 Sheesh, Scott - the problem is with the PakiWaki DailyTimes script, not with Phil's PC. They obviously employ shitbrain programmers. Good grief, the syndromes run deep - blindingly so. |

| #2 Ahmed deconstructs many of the conspiracy theories and biases rampant in the Urdu press ... and he does it with a light but masterly touch. Nicely done! |

| #1 You know, _most_ people would probably just think "Hey, free food!" "Sandwiches and tea" describes about four of my meals this week. Add on TV dinners and you've probalby got about seven. (And we're not going to mention the "It's not delivery, it's DiGiorno" incident). |
