Anyone who has read the link below will understand how Turkey sees the current situation and the way it will soon react to Russia and Iran's invasion of Syria. "The events in our southeastern provinces and the Northern Corridor project are part of one front in the same war. It is the same...

It's interesting observing which drugs a society permits and those which it bans. Sometimes drugs are banned not on the basis that they are substantially harmful, but because they are used by feared minority groups. This also has the effect of criminalizing and thus incarcerating minority...

Are you familiar with the term 'Gharbzadegi' and Jalal Al-e-Ahmed's work, 'Occidentosis: A Plague from the West'?

There are two branches of the Qadiani movement. Those who declare Mirza Ghulam of Qadian as a 'prophet', and those who declare him to be a 'renewer of the age'.

Pakistan was at its best in the 1960's during the Ayub Khan era. Neither before nor after. It was Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and all the other rotten carcasses who've followed that destroyed it. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his daughter and son-law were feudal tyrants of the worst sort who because Bhutto...

I'm giving you sources and you're replying back with your own opinions. Have you read Ahmad Kasravi? Or is he still banned by the Ayatollahs?

Well two very good reasons: 1. Historical facts. Most of the world understands and appreciates the difference between history and mythology--that may be a difficult task for you. 2. There are people who do claim to be Persians and have a far better claim to that than the Ayatollahs...

Ibn Khaldun noted one of the early Muslim historians as stating that the Persians had vanished from western Iran as if they had never existed (please check Al-Muqadima) so whom are these people claiming to be Persians?? It's interesting that in the wars between the Pashtuns and the Safavis and...

I'm afraid you'll have to search for it under a discussion of the work of Wolfgang Haak. I'm not sure I bookmarked it and I have a heck of a lot of bookmarks. The Yamnaya ancestry for Pashtuns can be found at the the Polish Genes blog by searching google for the following paragraph: 'I'm seeing...

Certainly. Shall I quote you the names of the Pashtun tribes mentioned by Herodotus?

Cyrus was the father of the Shiite Republic of Iran? What about Sayyid Khamenei is he a Persian too? :crazy: The closest living relatives of the Medes are the Kurds--who ruled Iran before the Persians. In the Shiite Republic of Iran, the only person who can be Supreme Leader is a person who...

'The Pashtun faith'. And if it wasn't for that faith and its people, you'd all be speaking Marathi now, and doing Ram-Ram. Sheikh Ul-Hind Mahmud Al-Hasan. You know nothing of deobandi beliefs and less of the history of the subcontinent. And as for who I am, the next time you open your mouth...

Before the US invasion these are the advantages that the NA had: 1. Decades of combat experience 2. All the arms they wanted from the Russians, Indians, Iranians, and 'Stans 3. An airforce 4. Support from the Heroin mafia 5. Support from minority refugee/ethnic groups in the area to carry out...

The Indians should be thanking Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Of course Bhutto is a hero to Indians but not Bengalis.

Goodbye sweet princess. You shall be missed by the people of Iran, and Pakistan.

You have a problem with Deobandis? Deobandis were in Pakistan long before Pakistan was even created. In fact the last Shaykh Ul-Hind appointed by the Ottoman Caliph, was a Deobandi alim. If you have a problem with Deobandis, then you have a problem with Pashtuns/Pathans. If that's the case...

How many Syrian refugees whether Sunni, Shia, or Christian have chosen to seek refuge in Iran or Russia?

What did Malcolm X say, "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing". Satire has changed from defending the powerless via mocking prejudices into comforting the powerful by targeting and...

Let's hope the poor child only shares her name.....

Once these two foolish groups have exhausted themselves we'll retake our ancient lands! :victory:
