Salaam So why are they coming back after 2 decades of the US trying and failing to defeat them? Were there no mythical special forces units and USAF resources to spare?

Salaam Interesting. What did you expect me to say? I'm curious.

Salaam Makes sense from an American perspective. Sucks for ANA people.

Salaam Bro, I'm sure you are capable of articulating a better reply. If I understand properly, what he is saying is that under PTI the trade deficit, which is the difference between exports and imports, is $30 billion. However, the current account deficit, which is a separate figure and...

Salaam So you are suggesting that Pakistan should break relations with *Turkey* if they don't hand over Dostum to the Taliban?!?

Salaam My guess is Altaf Hussain because he said terrorist has been hiding in London for the past 30 years.

Salaam It appears you have misunderstood the objective Pakistan has in Afghanistan vs what India has. Does anyone actually believe that Pakistan needs Talibani forces to counter India? Pakistan has found a good ally in China for the purpose of countering India. What Pakistan wants in...

Salaam So many problems arising because people do not understand why these things were prohibited. I have written a piece I'm thinking of posting here about why religions are generally so serious about sex and reproduction.

Salaam I think the problem wasn't that the West in general and the US in particular aren't capable. They just got too complacent after the iron curtain fell. NASA funding has been very much cut which obviously limits it's capabilities. Otherwise, if the pursuit of space exploration was not...

Salaam You are correct, I likely have a very weak understanding of the nuances of Indian society. From an outside perspective, it does appear that whatever is going on will likely result in external forces trying to capitalise on it especially if things go south. If the external factors...

Salaam It's interesting that you believe that once the Muslims have been 'dealt with' the other minorities would just be left alone.

Salaam Thanks for clarifying

Salaam Could you please elaborate on this?

Salaam I have heard many people question Muslim people's loyalty and thus my reply was with that in mind. However, in most instances unless a Muslim is being forced to abandon basics of religion or things that would be of a personal or communal nature and do not impact the society at large...

Salaam Haha, I understand. Even if you were to accept the situation, however, it would be unwillingly and due to lack of viable options. The point was, it's easy to declare Muslims as traitors for not being loyal to the state before being loyal to their personal beliefs when loyalty to the...

Salaam You mentioned yourself how a country with seemingly worse metrics is getting upgraded but we are getting downgraded. It's because Sri Lanka isn't playing Hardball with the US. When you say absolutely not to the US, you obviously are going to suffer consequences. It's just a given...

Salaam Sharma ji, I think I wasn't able to clarify my question. Let me ask it differently. If the state of India decides to implement shariah (hardcore isis type) instead of the uniform civil code which you mentioned, would you happily accept it? It required all the non-Muslims to pay high...

Salaam Sharma ji a question. Hypothetically speaking, If through some miraculous turn of events, Muslims become not just the ruling group again but also the majority. They enact laws and policies that essentially make the Hindus choose between following Hinduism but betraying India or...

Salaam How's that project going?

Salaam I think your understanding of Islam is a bit weak. Islam does not exist in an abstract form without any relation to reality. It is at these times that I can see why Islam wasn't just revealed fully and completely in one go upon a king instead it was revealed over two decades and...
