It amazes me that Muslims are continually blaming the West, the CIA, the Jews, whoever for their infighting, when in this very forum you cannot find agreement on anything. Pick a social/political issue, any of them, and there will be Muslims calling for each other's blood within days. And...

You should write to more western liberal newspapers/sites. They are sure that you don't want to take over the world, just have your own little corner to yourself. Thanks for letting those of us paying attention know that we're in a state of war with you crazies. Might point out that given the...

@Abisafyan India is going to Mars. Pakistan is not. I can smell your jealousy all the way across the Pacific. on a lighter note: google interplanetary lobbing contest, take the strudel link (should be at the top) humorous look at space missions...

Anyone wishing to get a grip on the relative size of the C-5, C-17, and C-130 can use Google Earth or Maps to poke around USAF bases. This shot (hopefully still) has a C-5, C-17 (right above it) and a pair of C-130 up and to the left, as well as (I think) a couple of 707-based aircraft in the...

Is there an Egyptian on who could explain the rationale for the outburst? Pakistanis seem split on Hamas, where do Egyptians stand, and why?

Are you guys going to defend looting of the aircraft by separatists too?

Daniel Ortega is the current president of Nicaragua. He is a Sandinista. Look him up in Wikipedia - I'm too new to post links.

Not accusing, just curious. Cultural differences fascinate me. There is clearly a difference between the expectation of some countries/peoples and others. Say, Ireland and Pakistan in my examples. So, I like to ask around to get a better feel for how universal this is in a particular...

I think they just convinced the world (excepting Russian shills) that they are, in fact, terrorists.

This is an entertaining thread. It goes to the heart of identity, how we group people into tribes. We don't even agree on how to group people. @Abingdonboy earlier insisted that he was British, on the basis of his current passport+where he was born. @Indian-Lion and @American Pakistani...
