Tawfiq Chahboune: The trouble With irshad
Manji
http://www.socialistunity.com/?p=1698
Taken from Democracy Now February 2006.
Irshad Manji uploaded a video with her
agreeing with O'Reilly on March 21, 2008,
so, here is something to remind everyone how
objectionable she can be to those she doesn't
appear to understand.
Irshad Manji also published a lie about
Norman Finkelstien on her website during his
battle for tenure at DePaul university saying
that Norman Finkelstein sent her an email
that joked about the death threats against
her.
Irshad Manji is the author of a book called
"The Trouble With Islam Today."
Alan Dershowitz reviewed the book saying
(sic): "Irshad Manji is a fresh, new and
intriguing voice of Islamic reform. This
wonderfully written book will surprise you,
educate you, even entertain you."
I wonder if he has read Manji's book?
Dershowitz hasn't read his own book "The Case
For Israel" yet!

Asad Amanat Ali Khan - Aa Mere Payar Ki
Khushbo
Poet Qateel Shfai
This was originally sung by his father
**************************************
Asad Amanat Ali Khan(September 25, 1955-
April 8, 2007) was a very popular classical,
semi-classical and ghazal singer from
Pakistan. Hailing from famous Patiala
Gharana, Asad was son of famous musician
Amanat Ali Khan. Asad Amanat Ali Khan died
relatively young of heart attack on April 8,
2007 in London.
Family
His great-grandfather, Ali Baksh Khan, was
the founder of the Patiala Gharana. His
grandfather, Akhtar Hussain, was a prominent
musician of his time who added to his repute
by coaching two of his sons into becoming a
formidable singing duo(Amanat Ali Khan and
Hamid Ali Khan). Amanat Ali Khan, Asad's
father, died in 1974. Asad's younger brother
Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan is a popular pop
singer and he is the lead singer of band
Fuzon.
Singing career
When he was 10 years old Asad recorded his
first song, which featured on his
grandfather's debut album. He had also been
interested in academics and often said if not
a singer, he would love to be a pilot. He
joined a private institution however and
began singing professionally after completing
his F.A. He started his musical career
performing "Thumri" and then went on to
record some of his most popular Punjabi
numbers and Ghazals, such as "Umra Lagian",
"Zara Zara", "Kal Chaudwin Ki Raat", and
"Ghar Wapas Jab". One of the songs that
featured in almost every concert he
performed, arguably his biggest hit, was
"Insha Ji Utho" (Originally sung by his
father).
Asad worked for Pakistan Television for
several years. Nisar Bazmi, composer and PTV
producer, who died one week before him, gave
him his first break, introducing the artist
to the world on live television. He retained
his affiliation with television through the
years, recording over 1,000 songs. Asad also
contributed to the Pakistani film industry,
featuring on a number of soundtracks.
Moreover, he caught the attention of
neighboring Bollywood and contributed to
soundtracks there too.
Asad also sang as a member of singing duo
with his uncle Hamid Ali Khan. Asad owed much
of his early recognition to his late father's
famous numbers. Quite often his concert would
round off with "Insha'a Jee utho, abb cooch
karo" (Get up O Insha! It's time to leave the
world) — a song that finds another ironic
reference in Asad's death. Ibn-e-Insha who
wrote it, Amanat Ali and Asad Amanat who sang
it — all died relatively young. Other than
music and the family name, Asad inherited
from his father a passion to act in films.
But the affair was cut short after an
unsuccessful attempt.
Asad Amanat Ali was also famed for his
"soz-o-salam" recitations in Urdu describing
the events of Karbala during Ashura in
Muharram, and appeared on many radio and
television specials about Karbala over the
years before his death.
Awards
Like his father, Asad was given the
president's award for Pride of Performance.
The government of Pakistan acknowledged Asad
Amanat Ali Khan's immense contribution to
Pakistani music by awarding him the Pride of
Performance on March 23, 2007 (2 weeks before
his death).
Death
He had visited London in January and was
receiving treatment for a condition known as
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He returned to
Pakistan however during his treatment to
receive the President's award of Pride of
Performance. After receiving the award he had
left Pakistan on April 3, 2007 for medical
consultation, and while in England, on April
8, 2007 died in Cassiobury Park in London
whilst enjoying an outing with the family. He
had fallen to the ground and many attempts
were made to revive him however, he had died
instantaneously. His medical tests were
scheduled for the following week but he never
got a chance to continue his treatment. His
body was brought back to his home country
Pakistan for the burial. He was buried in
Mominpura Graveyard Lahore.
His Work
Some of his superhit songs are listed below.
* Awaz Who Jado sa (Saheli) * Insha Ji Utho
(Originally Sung by his father) * Ghar Wapis
Jub ao gai tum * Umraan langiyaan pabbaan
paahr * Pyaar Nahii Hai Sur Se Jisko * Abhi
Kalion Mein * Diyaar Yaar Geya * Doob Gai Sub
* Ghum Tera Hum Ne * Jo Bhi Dil Ki * Kal
Chowdhwein Ki Raat * Zara zara dil meiN dard
huaa * Apne haathoN kii lakiiroN meiN * Piya
dekhan ko tarseiN morey
