Will a human rights organization also represent a non-Muslim? Especially if I have to complain about the airport official opening my suitcase to break my idols and tear my religious pictures?

Good point - harsh punishments are instituted as deterrents when people are clueless to solve the actual issue. It is a reactive approach focusing on the problem, rather than the proactive approach of focusing on the solution. Scandinavian countries, especially, have that going right for them -...

I have always heard people say they are inspired by Pakistan. I only see peace-loving and kind people from there, especially on this forum. It is the most just country for it minorities and it the paragon of secularism, egalitarianism and religious tolerance. Islamic fundamentalists inspire many...

I am glad we are consistent - we have always said we will abide by UN sanctions, not those imposed unilaterally by the US/EU. They have their sovereignty and are free to do as they please, just as we do. After all, isn't that why the UN is there - to give Iran a chance to defend themselves, and...

To paraphrase your thoughts - Islamist fanaticism and fundamentalism is the biggest threat to Islam. Religious fanaticism and fundamentalism is the biggest threat to humanity. Although it seems most apparent in Muslim society now, there is no reason the rest of us can't look into our religions...

Can't blame her can we? We stood by the democracy movement but soon made peace with the Junta to not seem too hostile in comparison to China. I won't blame our leaders either - we took the best decision in our interest at that time, but we should own up to the consequences as well. But we have...

India and Pakistan can afford to stay neutral. If Russia and China gloat over being permanent UNSC representatives, they need to show leadership and take a stance.

Iran's support is based on certain principles; people may judge your stance either way, but at least you guys are consistent. The US, Russia and China and just playing dirty geopolitics, otherwise one of them would have taken some stance, one way or the other.

What self serving nonsense coming from some members here - especially the Chinese who have no clue about history, religion or culture. Can you guys at least read the few sensible comments on this thread before coming with any responses?

US may target Iran diplomatically or covertly, but no leader in Pakistan, IK included, will be that hostile that they will plot a "regime" change in Pakistan.

US, Russia and China are permanent members of the UNSC and are playing dirty politics. We know Iran is a strategic ally and has pacts with Syria so they need to be involved. What does Pakistan have to gain/lose by interfering in this mess?

We hate any organization targeting and killing innocents. Period. There is no good or bad Taliban. There is no good or bad terrorist.

Masters? You mean your strategic ally that you guys have given bases to to launch attacks on the Afghan Taliban? Are you that delusional that you start fabricating facts to fit your theory? On topic, let's see how long this game is played - for one, the US/NATO will always maintain a covert...

Don't worry, the BJP was in power for many years and we still had good relations with Israel and Iran. Guess not all Indians are good at understanding diplomacy, but luckily we have always have leaders who did. Let's see what common faith you talk of - propping up anti-Shia Taliban, the...

Guess sarcasm is hard to understand :) On topic, let's stop this mud-slandering...pummel is too strong a word considering we are minnows ourselves.

Bhai...already addressed...refer from post 10 onward. Can you give some specifics? I thought Pakistan stayed largely neutral and wasn't in the picture.

Why do we have to pick sides? We are a trading partner of both countries - not their military ally.

Pretty spot on, I would think. And while our diplomacy seems like a master-stroke, in reality, we haven't done anything out of the ordinary. I give my leaders credit for doing the small simple things right (which isn't always that easy), but then we are not the only country in the world having...

Apart from lip-service on online forums, what have you guys done for Iran?

When self-professed regional analysts start bringing Pakistan into the topic without understanding anything about the Afghan dynamic, I am compelled to comment. In any case it is about India and Iran, so please heed your advise and stay on topic.
