I forgot one thing, you said that that is the way of our roads, well, the roads are same, as a matter of fact they are non living beings and cannot even think for themselves. Rather it is us, who have changed and forgotten what we truly are. In other words we ourselves are contributing situation to fall down to one point. Everybody is thinking he is a cut above the rest and therefore, is facing problem from the other person since he is not looking down his own throat and is thus ignoring faults present in him and so is being teased and in return teasing other people. In other words, we are justifying our incorrect actions and are berating others for their Allah gifted wealth just because they are visible because of their imprint.

My good sir, the word pig has been used in the Quran for a person whose heart has become indifferent to his fellow beings’ feelings caused due to his actions and words. As for your another question about my being distinct from people riding bike? Well, I Allhamdulillah travel by a bus and have several times fallen over my seat because of sudden braking on driver’s part for protecting some pig-brain on his bike careering near a big vehicle. Another thing does it matter if I call person a pig or some other bad word? Is not mouthing bad words at other people considered a verbal abuse?
Moreover, I hardly need to remind you about a hadees clearly stating that if your actions or words are becoming a source of misery to your fellow beings than the person is not even counted as a Muslim.
Furthermore, are young ones at fault, I think parents are to blame, they do not channel their kids actions. However, what else should be expected from religious looking old people, aged over 60 and even 70s drive erratically, they even do this to “big cars”. The pig-hearts just rash out without even fearing the consequence of that big car failing to stop in time and hitting them.
Lastly, I also agree about ending our discussion, I just thought about answering your question about my usage of the word pig, though I have never applied it aloud on anyone directly. Have a good and safe day, particularly from the shar of a bike.

Friend, please re-read my comment. You have gone off on a completely different tangent in your comment.
The scenario that you have described happens to me every day and I have a small car (just FYI.) That is the dangerous way a lot of bike riders ride their bikes, especially young ones. That is the way our roads are.
Where I live, every day, the worst drivers who think they own the road, are the ones with the “bigger cars”.
From your example, there is a clear distinction between you and the ones on a bike in your mind. I wonder why that is? I wonder what caused that?
Lastly and most importantly my friend you seem to be a very religious person. That is good. Can you tell me what Our Islam says about one Muslim calling another one a Pig?
In a way, you just proved what I stated in my earlier comment.
Like I said, the worst drivers that I encounter on the road are the “big car” drivers. I get very angry and sometimes do scream profanities at them sadly. However, I do tend stay away from the Pork.
My friend, with all respect, let us leave this comment. I apologies if my comment offended you. However, I would also ask that you refrain from address fellow Muslims in such a manner.
 
A heartfelt comment from a person, who not only looks like a Pathan, but actually is one; and a proud Pakistani along with all my fellow Pakistani brothers and sisters regardless of background.

I also second your comment, however, would dare to disagree on your note about acting a show off. Here me out, most of people perhaps play to you because of you being a Civic or Corolla owner however, not all Corolla or Civic owners are like that. As a matter of fact, on another side, poor people of Pakistan are to blame too, they do not let go off of a chance to mint money by displaying their misery even when they are wrong. To support my theory, I would cite my experience with a bike rider recently. The pig-heart was coming from the wrong side at 8:30 PM without lights at a very high speed, my father was turning about the car with indicator on, had he not stopped the man would have gone flying away after being hit with car. Sad part of it, the youth became angry at my father stopping the car to overcome the shock. What really took me by surprise was the youth’s attitude, instead of thanking Allah for saving his life by making us stop the car he started yelling to attract other bike riders. No doubt the fool thought that other riders would corner us and berate us however, he forgot that offering namaz casts a shield around person and this shield is strong enough to protect a person from shar of shaitan. My point, is this not a shape of mean attitude? At-least people showing off their Corolla or Civic have a grace to stop at zebra crossing made for pedestrians coming into or leaving Baitussalam masjid. They do that for a pathan sort of looking person too, so do not say that they respect position of power only.
However, what do you have to say about this sort of bike riders attitude? A poor person too has to follow rules laid out by Allah, so, in case of Pakistan, rich people are not the only problem but so-called poor people are at fault as well.

These are very VERY mediocre vehicles but due to extreme taxes and high profit margins, these have become expensive cars for “people of means” to buy and to show off. How sad.
Especially in the case of compact sedans like the Corolla and the Civic. Think about it. These cars, which are the very definition of average mediocre motoring, made strictly for A-B driving while being durable and cheap; these compact cars are marketed and bought as premium vehicles to show status and “money”. Excellent case study for market isolation and shaping people’s perceptions.
Pakistan is an extremely closed system especially in the case of the auto industry. This sector which has made the fortunes of so many of our neighbors, has been squandered.
As an added bonus, the addition of these new companies importing parts to assemble and sell cars here will only increase the import bill further and reduce Pakistan’s dollar reserves. But hey, at least the people with means can “showoff” in their “premium” cars.
