One of the revisionist historical views is that the USA forced war upon Japan by imposing an oil embargo designed to throttle Japanese industrial growth. This then forced Japan to invade surrounding Asian countries in order to get access to oil, under the threat that if it failed, the Russians...

Plainly all minorities do NOT have their rights and representations when Sunni Iranians are denied the right to lead their country. Check your facts. There is not a single Pashtun that I know who isn't a Deobandi. That's just the Pashtuns. Count how many other parts of Pakistan are...

Turkiye at the moment has been incredibly restrained in its response, despite knowing that the weapons being supplied to the Marxist-Stalinist PKK will eventually be used against it. I wonder at what stage Turkiye and Saudi will decide that they wish to repay back those funding and arming the...

You begin by doing what you accuse me of doing, and take the opportunity to pretend that you're 'masoom'? 1. The Supreme Executive of Pakistan can be and on occasions have been Shiite. In Iran, the Supreme Executive MUST be a Shiite. This isn't a ruling which has come down from heaven. It's...

Unlike most of the people criticizing Iran, I actually knew people quite senior in their media, and with links to the ruling elite. The Iranian revolution followed the same path as the French revolution, except it wasn't led by a group of people calling for equality for all on the basis of...

Mostly correct. Taimur was almost certainly a Turk but not a Mongol. He just claimed that to make it seem he was allied with a more powerful state. He made mounds of the skulls of Hindus AND Muslims. He also had a rather mercurial temperament, kind one moment and completely irrationally brutal...

Turkey is killing members of a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist gang funded and armed by the USSR and Syria which has been killing Turkish and Kurdish people for decades. They're not 'Kurdish' in the sense that as good little 'cultural revolutionaries' they believe Kurdish culture is fake and a...

You're wrong. Afghanistan was part of the Caliphate long before that date. Muhammad 'Ghauri' was the grandson of Muhammad Ibn Suri who was of the Suri Pashtun tribe. Muhammad ibn Suri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Arabs were familiar with the 'Abdaali' tribe who were known as 'Avtaal'...

Let's remind ourselves again how Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto on one fateful day in September, now known by the Palestinians as 'Black September', sent the Pakistani army to help the Jordanian king kill 20,000 Palestinians. Where's the howls or squeals of protests from certain groups in Pakistan against...

Yes, we're not allowed to use such a word to describe some people. Despite the fact that according to the Shia Iranian author Ahmad Kasravi it was first used by Imam Zayd ibn Ali (A.S) the pious and brave grandson of Huseyn (A.S) who used it to describe those who betrayed and left him to fight...

Saddam was doing nothing to the Shiites. Some senior members of his army were Shiites. 'Lies' About Saddam's Oppression of the Shia His hatred was for the Kurds, and was wrapped up in an earlier incident when the Kurds funded by Iran had been campaigning for their own homeland. As for...

Just out of curiosity what in your view is the distinction between someone who is a liberal and one who is left-leaning?

Kyle, you really get it. Nations who have created and ruled empires have a much more long term perspective. Once you've been through one decline and risen again, it tends to create a new sense of perspective in a nation. We've created several empires since the times of the Saka's and the Yuezhi...

Pakistanis don't want them. It's taken enough of the Gangetic Plain people. Please keep your people on your side of the border, the last lot you sent have done enough damage.

That's quite some verbal and reasoning gymnastics that you've engaged in. The argument began when you accused Pakistanis of not being really Pakistani because they had no cultural continuity with the land of Pakistan. After I've demonstrated to you that I know far more about my family history...

For your information according to the hadith the people who are the closest to the description of Gog and Magog are the Safavis who rule Iran, and the Rus. In fact both the Safavis and the Rus come from beyond the wall built by Zulqarnain. If you're going to throw around tafseer, at least get...

Cruz has a much stronger support base among the European Christian extremists. I think that may lead to the majority opposing Cruz out of worries that this will coalesce against him all those people (including women worried about abortion rights) opposed to a Christian extremist as President...

Well how else would the children of Pakistan's Generals and politicians get to party in the USA, on the pretense of going to study at the expense of the children of poor Pakistani villagers?

Turkiye today is faced with exactly the same sort of situation as it was during 1914 - 1923 and with the invasion of Turkey by the Rus. The only way Turkiye is going to get through this is not to tolerate the slightest threat to its existence irrespective of which dog barks or growls. If any...

That's because it was in metric.
