I have lived in Dubai, Saudi Arabia and other ME places for long. This is totally wrong that Arabs consider themselves to be superior. Yes, we Pakistani (infact all Asians) have proved ourselves to be just plain ignorant, illiterate and garbage multipliers where ever we reside. Go to any area...
I condemn OBL's speech and consider it as an intention to sabotage the peace process. I appreciate President Obama for trying to reach out to Muslims. We must never lose hope nor optimism. While it remains evident that policies are unlikely to change in near future.
Things may or may not change.... peace must always be given a chance! USA will never back off its support for Israel, but if someone is reaching out to us Muslims, don't back off. Islamic history details, how many times the Jews and pagans deceived us, yet beloved Prophet (pbuh) never refused a...
Her former husband's narration is proof enough that she was always eager to go on jihad. She wanted him to go with her to Bosnia and later Afghanistan. Her second marriage to Sheikh Khalid Mohammad's nephew, who's a cousin of Ramzi Yusuf, is second proof indicating her ideals. Its pretty evident...
I also dislike it immensely when I see USA poking around our figureheads and exerting pressure here & there - rethinking their strategy and applying it on PAK as an experiment. Now maybe they realise, with Nawaz little more Pro-Taliban, they'll be able to destabilize PAK faster than this...
The economy was resilient and that's exactly why it was able to sustain pressures to an extend, and did not collapse completely. Had our Foreign Reserves of $16.4 billion (Oct 2007) and KSE market capitalization of $75 billion (April 2008) been protected in the first place, we would never have...

Personally I dislike Altaf Hussein, but I also appreciate their performance in the last 4 years they have supervised under Mustafa Kamal. I dislike it where there is pure bias. I am more than happy if Shahbaz Sharif delivers for Punjab. I am more than happy if ANP delivers for NWFP. I am happy...
Pak IB chief submits details of 70 undercover agents to SC
In a major embarrassment for the Pakistani security establishment, the chief of the countrys domestic spy agency has blown the covers of over 70 senior operatives in documents presented in the Supreme Court.

In countries where the Supeme Court consist of men of high integrity and are not influenced by politicians or bureacracy can think of summoning intelligence agencies INDIRECTLY quietly.
The work of intelligence agencies is primarily top-secret concerning national interest. Their...
We also remember when fatima bhutto alleged in front of media in 2008 elections, with proves showing empty registers, fake votes being cast in favor of Nisar Khuro.
Pictures of Defense Minister (whatever that businessman) stuffing votes in his favor against Chaudhry Shujaat emerged.
Voting...
Dear bane blade,
This is open histor that PML-N was groomed for provincial level by Zia-ul-Haq and for national level after 1988. Nawaz Sharif who now talks a good democratic game, but he too began his career as a protégée of a military dictator. General Zia made him finance minister and then...
And what is equally great about this IMF loan is that we have to repay them/IMF in 2011 - and I wonder how we'll do that?
Also visit: Economic Pakistan to judge the difference.
Give them 'Qaroon ka Khazana' and they'll wipe it off in 2 months! 4 months was pretty long - considering our army is there to protect us! :pop:
The major halt was - in the initial 4 months of PPP around $22 billion ran away to Dubai etc out of fear. DAWN News talked about this several times...
There are few misperceptions about Aid;
At a Washington think tank, a senior expert Flynt Leverett acknowledged Pakistan’s key efforts in the fight against terrorism and came down on critics who in their discussions keep harping on US extending 10 billion dollars in assistance to the...
Personally, I don't prefer any kind of aid from anyone. We should stand up using our own backbone. But if we are able to extract aid from anyone and also protect our national interest - I don't mind. With the RIGHT leaders we can actaully benefit from this aid - while a dishonest leader (like...
