You're suggesting that NATO would play directly into Putin's hands and allow him to declare war on a NATO member state and not take any action? You do realize that the consequence of that would be the disintegration of NATO itself, something which Washington has worked hard to prevent since the...
There's a substantial difference.
The Saudis do not claim to be the religious leaders of all the world's Sunnis nor as examples of how every other Sunni Muslim should live.
The Ayatollahs claim to be the 'marjas' or living example of how a Shia anywhere in the world should live their life...
Presumably Medvedev will now go on RT etc to announce that the Russian state is at war with Turkey--and incidentally NATO--and Saudi Arabia? I doubt it.
'whataboutery'.
I don't have a problem with that. I don't care if the ruler is a Sunni, Ismaili Shia, Jew, Parsi, Hindu, or Sikh, so long as he or she obeys the constitution and upholds the rights of all citizens of the state.
With the greatest of respect neither the Saudi family nor the...
Let me point out that despite us Pashtuns being accused of being religious conservatives etc etc the Sikhs living among us were not harmed and their religious buildings were not damaged.
And Pashtuns were the first ethnic group whose members while protesting peacefully had hundreds of their...
I've just heard that Saudi ground troops have begun landing in Turkey. This is a momentous event in not only regional but also Muslim and world affairs.
The shockwaves from this are going to be felt for decades.
The Saudis supported a Zaidi Shia as leader of Yemen.
The Iranian Ayatolloids will only allow a Nusayri Shia to be leader of Syria, the same way they will only a Ithna Ashari Shia to be leader of Iran.
Pakistan by the way despite being a Sunni majority state has had several Shia leaders. It's...
1. It's sending Mongol Shiite refugees from Afghanistan (including children) to kill and die in Syria.
2. These are mercenaries.
3. It is using non-Iranian Shiites from around the world as cannon-fodder.

Who says he was a French agent? He was a useful idiot. He killed hundreds of thousands of Iranian students. Destroyed its economy. Forced Iran's best and brightest to leave. Created enmity between Iran and every Muslim country in the world by sponsoring Shiite terrorism. Engaged in a fruitless...
She's a Parsi not a Safavi Ayatolloid. The Parsis are the original and real Persians. Pashtuns are related to Persians and not the current ruling elite of Iran who are mostly Safavis and South Lebanese. And yes if you were capable of reading, you'd discover that Parsis historically have...
Alternatively Khomeini's French godfathers returned him to Iran in a VIP jet just in time to prevent the secular left-wing Iranian parties and their supporters from taking power during the Cold War.
In what sense have Iranian troops had experience of modern warfare fighting a group of badly armed defense force units who were under constant bombardment from a major world power?
If Putin's forces dare to bomb Saudi and Gulf Arab forces on the ground, you can absolutely bet that unlike the...
Nonsense. Likewise their idea that 'Sag-gig-ga' means 'black-headed', the term used by the Surmerians to describe themselves.
This is based on the incorrect idea that the sign 'gig' means the same as the Akkadian 'samu' which one translator they've used thought meant 'black', but it can also be...
This is nonsense. Pashtuns do have a link to the Jewish peoples because of two millenia old incidents but Pashtuns are not descended from Jews. The Jews are a mixture of Egyptian rebels and Semites, while the Pashtuns are an Iranic Indo-European people.
That's your sanitized version of your history. Let me point out the Pashtun version.
1. The word Hazara comes from the Persian word “Hazar” which means a thousand.
Ghengis sent an army under his grandson, Mutugen, to lay India to waste. When I say lay to waste consider what this means. The...
Actually the Kushans according to their own accounts were a branch of the Yuezhi who themselves were the ancestors of the modern day 'Yousufzai'. It also doesn't take much to understand where the Pashtun 'Suri' tribes name comes from when we discover that the Afghans originally worshiped a solar...
I never said Imran was good to be invested in. I think he's honest. However as Islamic history proves honest Muslim leaders e.g. Imam Uthman ibn Affan (A.S.) are as easily killed and their memories desecrated as any others, and Imran Khan is far less than any of those.
But at least Imran...
