This issue seems to be getting very serious. It would be an extraordinarily uncharacteristic move for the Chinese to say what is being reported.
If indeed it is true that they have said this, it would have far reaching implications for Pakistan and Pakistani politics.
I don't see how...

I sure hope they send something to Venus. Would love to see more detailed images and learn now information about it. The Soviet missions sent back extraordinary images but it's been so long. Technology has advanced a lot since then.
I hope we get more space exploration in the coming years.

OIC may not be much but it has the potential to be much more. The countries work within the constraints of their individual realities which are changing with time.
The focus should initially be on improving Economic cooperation and development within the member countries. Maybe the...

The companions changed their names if the name had an element of shirk or kufr otherwise they retained their names. Most of the time they named their children Abdullah and abdurahman etc
Regardless, Muslims did keep their tribal names and such. So I don't see why it would be a problem...

That seems like an interesting compromise between condemning Russia as the West demanded and completely ignoring the issue. Sending aid to the Ukrainians to sort of try to salvage some goodwill. We had reasonable good working relationship with Ukraine prior to this whole issue.

It appears to be a revolutionary new move.
I met a guy whose son is doctor in a small city. He said that previously when people learnt they needed critical surgery or medical treatment that was a bit expensive, they'd just go home and wait till they die because many couldn't afford...

I think we should not fully ignore the possibility that the Indians gave us a heads up on a malfunctioning missile via hotline so as to avoid a panicked response. They would have informed us that the missile was without a warhead.
That would explain why we chose not to shoot it down...

It seems highly unusual that the Indians would try something like this especially without politicising it. Given the situation with India and China, it seems highly unlikely that the Indians would try something like thisb- no impossible but unlikely nonetheless.
Is it possible that...

I talked to someone who heard the whole thing. They live a good few kilometres away from the site but said they heard a huge explosion and when they got up they could see fire and smoke in that direction.
They live at least 5kms if not as the crow flies. So make of that what you will.

There are Islamic scholars who had applauded this development based on basic Islamic principles including the importance of saving lives and extreme circumstances.
Secondly, the first ever human to human heart transplant patient survived only for 18 days (source) which is less than...

His vocal discontent with the support being provided by NATO clearly shows he had much higher expectations.
The more disillusioned he grows, the more he is likely to buckle during negotiations with the Russians.

The replies you get will make it clear the type of mentality some people have here. They also don't realise or care that since Afghanistan isn't going anywhere, keeping them hostile is going to hurt us in the long run as well. There are costs to having both your eastern and western...

I find it baffling that after the past two decades of trouble some still think it's a good idea to let afghanstan be hostile.
The Afghans are our neighbors and we don't claim any territory from them. It's best to cultivate good relations for our own long term benefit.
