The Iranian are simply antagonising the Taliban as well Pakistan. Pakistan is generally averse to acting against Iran but the Taliban may not be so.
If the Iranians try to create problems for the Taliban, the Taliban are likely to find may backers willing to fund them to create...

I think this propaganda is aimed at their own public and, imho, is doing the intended job.
Whether these are story concocted by Gen. G.D Bakshi or some other notable, they are propagating the core ideas i.e Pakistan is supporting Taliban militarily for instance, and convincing their...

It may be that the US was helping the collaborators because, in this social media, it is going to be very bad for the image of the US. The US has competition now and if they'd left everyone behind and you started to see videos of collaborators getting punished, it would have given a lot...

I did not know the political leaders (and one poet) you mentioned are agreed upon by Muslims to have been great Muslim leaders worthy of administration.
What is important is for Muslims to go to the source of islamic jurisprudence and derive lessons, than try and understand the world...

I personally doubt that is being done tbh. However, if they are doing it as a matter of policy, it is certainly wrong.
Btw I actually don't agree with their approach as such. But it's just that I understand their situation according to their context. They do not exist in a...

Bro, could you elaborate please. Are you saying that before Sharia may be implemented you need a harmonious welfare state where people have homes in high-quality neighborhoods and have scientifically-arranged employment and free access to food and other basic needs and people don't...
Salaam
Bro, you know well that a government can enforce laws as well as plan for economic development simultaneously. Unless the minister for housing and infrastructure planning is out there smashing wine bottles with all his departmental staff, I don't see why it has to be one or the other.

I think the explanation that the guy had prior mental health issues and had been admitted for therapy more than once for having violent tendencies is enough. He saw she was breaking up and murdered her. He was rich and thought he could get away with it.
You don't need satanism to...

I don't know what they wish to achieve by these statements. It's not going to reverse the Taliban takeover.
It's like they are trying to antagonise Pakistan and somehow please India.
I get expressing concerns for our own country but why is he making it out to be like the superpowers...

I know women who observe the face veil. They wear it when they go out of their homes in markets and public places.
Usually at home they get plenty of sun, if they want to.
You have to remember, burka type dress is worn in public, not in the privacy of home in most cases.
In fact I...

I, too, see it as a real possibility. It may, in fact, be a prudent thing to do from a Pakistani perspective i.e helping the Taliban government. We don't have the intel the ISI Chief and other decision makers have.
We don't know what was going on behind the scenes, and given how many...

Yes, our language is influenced by Persian. In the same way, our world is a lot more influenced by the US and the West tbh. The computers we use, modern medicine, essentially the modern technologies are primarily from the West.
These illustrious achievements of the west are much more...

I must say, for a nation that is 3000 years old and rich with oil money and ideally populated to boot, the current situation doesn't look very enviable.
Pakistan, being only 74 years old and without oil as well as being seriously overpopulated, seems to have done fairly well when...
Salaam
Tbh, I actually do. On the internet, we can call each other names till we are blue in the face, however, that wouldn't achieve anything productive.
Being civil helps improve the quality of discussion. If I feel I don't like what is being said, I can choose to disengage. If I do...
Salaam
Bro, be honest, would your country be able to as much as it has if you didn't have oil? Pakistan doesn't have that luxury, but it certainly has achieved a lot. Things are moving in a good direction, as we see in Afghanistan.
Salaam
This would be harder for Taliban to manage than the Americans were.
Bro, with regards to being unpopular amongst it's neighbors, Iran is no stranger to that.
People here do have a tendency to give knee jerk reactions, however, our Iranian brothers are also rather quick to make...
Salaam
It seems, unfortunately, with the coming of the Taliban the relationship between Pakistan and Iran are going to be negatively affected, just like last time.
