reading the comments here , don't you think they are mad or mentally disturbed? I mean look at how they justify the barbarity of their existence - well, as long as God is pleased and of course the Honor the prophet is maintained - all is cool - it's just women anyway, no big loss. Even serious...

No clearer example than these posts that the fight is over "the truth", however look closely and you will see that "the truth" is merely a mask for political power plays. Reading the posts I am stunned that so few are about how pluralism in Islam is a reality and they we should accept that...

Song and Dance is integral Arabian culture, however the poor arabs were not immune from the "reformist" tendencies in Islam AKA Wahabism -- so if you notice when arabs are among people they know well, they sing, dance and have a good time like any one else/ Now about our own history, because...

Well that depends on "our culture" -- See there came to be a divide in Pakistan, and how History was to be understood and therefore how Pakistan was to be understood - in this new conception, Pakistan was not 7000 year old civilization, NO, Pakistan only started when it was invaded by the Arab...

Privacy -- not the fear that women will be killed for conceptions of religiosity

This too vague "Persian" in this sense is meaningless - the civilization of the Fars is unique and "Persian" a universe, a multiplicity -- anyway lest hope the Iranian revolution , finally, allows the one kind of religiosity bit to die, which of course must mean that the "islamic" in the...

Why this thakedari? Why not let society agree that different people can have different views of decency, that there is room for a multiplicity of interpretations of "decency" -- See, when one interpretation thinks it is right and just to dominate in this case based on "decency" then it only...

Apparently killing for decency is also decent, such are the perils of decency -- my way or no way at all??

NYT the leading paper in the US and the voice of official US, has not carried this statement by the Chinese anywhere in it's coverage of Global events -- please see above

Please friends, be reasonable -- it's the culture of Arabia --- which of course it it good, right and just - lets not suggest that the culture of arabia is what they call islam(Wahabism), that would be telling the truth and that would be wrong and bad - Mods will have close the thread

For apologists of radical Islam, all negatives are "cultural" -- of course they do not wish to touch the issue of how radical Islam is against "culture" and seeks to replace "culture" -- The celebration of Spring, the folk religiosity of the masses, music, dance and especially the personhood of...

It will be interesting to see how the US responds - actually I don't think they will respond to this in any kind of dramatic fashion, however one can see that the US is decided that it is up to China to decide whether it will fall in line or face the consequences - interested readers are invited...

Murder and Money laundering -- these are issues being investigated by police in the UK -- Why now? Those are calculations for the English - however, what is clear that Mr. Altaf Hussein's advisors are persuaded that there is a good chance that police will be able to bring charges - even if court...

I like McCrystal. Dunno know about PPP, but as long as we have Zaradri and son, they are best forgotten.

With a pop between 200 and 230 million, and you are alarmed by the reduced fertility rate? With possibly up to a third of the children who will never have an opportunity to go to school?

Perhaps but it's difficult for me to digest any PPP as something other than a fancy crook

I think a large part of this discussion is about doctrine, I'm convinced of that, and in particular whether we should plan for fighting in Pakistan or in the adversary's skies and landmass

No doubt he is intelligent and educated and has a sense of humor, but then he's also slippery, duplicitous and remember, he's been a Jammati, a journalist and partner to every political force in Pakistan, that includes the Army, Jamaat, PPP and PML-N - he is a man of principles and if you don't...

Army says call the police - Police says politicians won't let us help --- CJP refuses to take Sui Moto notice Let blood cleanse Pakistan

That's a good beginning and much more work, a great deal more, will have to be done to secure the liberty of the arabian or whatever is left of them after the struggle to secure and protect them from the Tyranny the live under. It's possible that it is only with the sacrifice of much blood that...
