How come punjabis in pakistan have abandoned their mother tongue for urdu, especially when other ethnic groups such as sindhis and pathans take great pride in their languages and they even have schools that teach in them. How come the punjabi language doesn't have such status in pakistan and how come punjabi people aren't as proud of their language as other ethnic groups in pakistan are?

I keep reading about threats from Sunni shopkeepers stating, "there will be BLACK DAYS for the Americans and the Iraqis that join them." And then I see how joyful some Iraqis are at Saddam's death sentence. Why are these folks so extreme and base so much of their life on emotions?

My friend who happens to be asian got married to a muslim girl a few years ago.

Her family didnt approve because he was a christian and disowned her from the family.

I always knew Jews didnt like for their children to marry outside their relgion but I thought Muslims were a bit more tolerant.

Is this common practise for Muslims to disown their children if they marry a non believer?

No matter what anyone says, this is the bottom line:
Prostitues cause a harm to society if it is not professional. (although i dont agree with it at all.) Not only that, but HIV/ AIDS and other STD's put prostitutes and tricks at risks of getting infected.
Marijuana causes no deadly harm to anyone. There is not one proven case where someone has died from weed. There have just been studies that shows Marijuana could be the cure to Alzheimers.
So tell me this. Why did my friend get more time in jail over a half ounce of weed, when in my old neighborhood, prostitutes would be out of jail in a matter of days/ hours?

And I don't wana hear all this "I want people to judge me for my intelligence and not my looks" rubbish, I know it is probably a tradition that was started by a man, but why? What is the actual history behind this tradition?

I know that wearing a veil is not a muslim thing, as there is nothing in the Quaran that says a woman should cover her face - it is a cultural thing; but what culture and why?

Why is that American Superheroes always wear a pair of underwear over their tights?

Growing up in Sri lanka not having any contacts with any Americans to really ask, I came up with the Idea that it was really an extra pair of underwear, just in case if they have an accident (like wet their pants or sh!t them selves) while undertaking any of those heroic and daring tasks of saving the world
Like in Iraq today
Is this true?
