I said Islamism not Islam. I personally debated members on your forum regarding the distinctions and I am opposed to labeling all Muslims as terrorists. I know the subtleties involved. I believe however that once Islam reaches official institutions and suffocates nationalism and society with its...
There should be a thread which tallies up all the innocent civilians lost in the great struggle against Islamism. I personally think the more media and pictures you guys make available, the more support there will be against terrorism and the soft spoken Imams and other dogs behind this mess...
Jesus Christ...the pictures of little kids slumped over is too much to absorb all at once. I need a therapist every time something happens in the Middle East or South Asia. Bless the little ones. Now you know why so many in the West feel the way they do about Islam.
Are private security companies profitable in Pakistan? I would get into this business and start lending my services in every place imaginable. It's obvious the military can't be everywhere at once without martial law.
Traditionally Pakistan has been a media black hole when important events happen. Conflicting stories or no story is the norm. In the UK you can't pick your nose without a camera watching.
Martial law + curfews = get the job done to the finish. You can't fight terrorism in your country by going about your business as usual. It's not normal in my opinion.
Not sure why martial law hasn't been declared. A few black people start rioting in the US and they send in their armed personnel carriers and impose curfews. Just saying.
Pakistan...you need death squads not pubic hangings. They're making big differences in Iraq and Syria. They are able to reach places that a large conventional force can't.
Sure, it should be the woman's choice. But I don't know which woman would choose to hide her face without some sort of peer pressure or official pressure. I can say that it's a great thing such an ambiguous and backwards tradition was challenged by their own cleric and his wife. My own...
If this is indeed true that's absolutely brilliant. No Muslim woman should have to cover her face, so many of them are beautiful and we in the west think they must look like men hence the veils. It would change a lot of perceptions.
How so? One step forward and two steps back seems to be the general swing of things.
It's not contradiction. One step forward (gains) and two steps back (gains not being capitalized upon). We've been hearing about Pakistan almost daily in the news for the past decade now.
It's not simple thinking, the only reason we are there now is to help strengthen the Afghan state. We won the war a long time ago. Most ISAF nations left years ago. Al Qaeda is mostly 6 feet under and doesn't enjoy the same safety and comfort in Afghanistan.
They don't look Uzbek. Even if they were, doesn't matter. You can't fight Uzbekistan or any Arab country that they originated from. They're all terrorist Taliban to begin with, and operating with impunity in your country. Worry about that more than whether or not they were circumsized or from...
So as an expert who lives near this mess, you are saying that nothing has changed in Afghanistan? The day that we got those goat shaggers out of Kabul, absorbed the Northern Alliance into the ANA, and watched them build a government that incorporated all of the minorities was the day that we won...
We weren't there to put a stop to the drug business. Afghans are notorious drug addicts to begin with. We were there to beat the hell out of those bastard goat shagging cowards and we beat them black and blue so bad their clown operations are now isolated to Afghanistan instead of New York City...
