Salaam Just because the alternatives are worst, doesn't mean IK is competent. I believe IK has some strong points and NS and AAZ lot are just outright theives, but IK certainly has his share of contribution to this issue. Until a better alternative presents itself - anyone who isn't from NS...

Salaam The Chinese can easily outmatch India in terms of business opportunities for Afghanistan. Once Afghanistan has a good trade going on with its immediate neighbors, Afghanistan will become a good neighbor. Business interests has the kind of leverage few other things have.

Salaam I have not claimed that I am being forced either, nor am I in the position to make that decision.

Salaam People who think recognizing Israel will somehow dramatically improve the growth and development of Pakistan, should wait and see what dramatic change for the better has come about for the UAE for recognising Israel. There's that story of that guy who finds satan in the form of a...

Salaam I think that is disingenuous. No one is hating on a girl who got shot in her face which implies its the getting shot in the face bit that is the cause of the hate. People usually disagree with the people and agenda she came to represent once she went abroad.

Salaam Who is it named after? Never heard of this though.

Salaam Excellent. Is there a joint organisation or some setup of sorts whereby the Arab countries cooperate on defense manufacturing and research? Especially for high tech stuff like fighter jets and such?

Salaam I think we wouldn't be having a discussion about why the US won't sell them Aim120 and such weapons if they manufactured them or equivalent. I don't actually know, do Egyptians manufacturer BVR capable A2A missiles?

Salaam That is my point, since Egypt is that much bigger than Israel, Israel will naturally feel threatened. Why does it matter what Israel thinks? Because the US takes Israeli concerns very seriously. The post I replied to was talking about the US not giving Egyptians some advance weapons...

Salaam You've made some Interesting points. If my memory serves me correctly, Pakistan wasn't offered any BVRs by the US until it became clear that Pakistan had other options namely Chinese. I remember, general musharraf said that Pakistan had money at a certain time and wanted to buy...

Salaam How much does this car cost? Would a person who works in a state-owned enterprise get in trouble for buying this?

Salaam People saying it's shameful to be captured by the enemy are so strange. Did the man not get on a fighter jet and meet the enemy in battle? It is immaterial whether he shot down or was shot down. He fought. Risked his life. Did his duty. When he was captured, he carried himself...

Salaam I agree with what you've said but I think we have to use a much more intelligent approach to dealing with this problem. Getting ruthless just gives these groups further ammo for propaganda unless you have a good and clear counter narrative ready. These people have managed to equate...

Salaam Raheel Sharif would be a better example. He did his job well and delivered. Once his time was up he left. Musharraf thought too highly of himself and compromised on fundamental things leading to the worst decade in Pakistani history.

Salaam Such a shameful situation especially considering it is being done in the name of RasulAllah pbuh. I hope the one's making decisions on these matters know that this sort of thing will get worst as time goes on. These people are making a mockery of the deen.

Salaam What's BL?

Salaam What a confusing threat title. I thought fanta the beverage brand were threatening Afghanistan from India for some bizarre reason. Anyways, my thoughts on the Yogi threat. 1- If the Taliban move towards India; as if they will move towards India in phalanx formation and not essentially...

Salaam I don't know about the wahabi part but with regards to bid'ah, it only appliesto acts done as part of religion. Essentially, if people are celebrating Halloween because they think it will help them get closer to Allah (and consider it an ibadah) then it is bid'ah. The rule is that...

Salaam Such an amusing thread. The banter is fun and light hearted a welcome change from the usual.

Salaam That is so weird. I mean our good Israeli friend David saying this not the news. To make it clear, I don't have much trouble accepting the Israelis have little respect for Hindus and Indians - there is a long list of reasons to choose from. Not the least of which being the Hindus are...
