    Hijacking faith: How an extremist Deobandi ideology rules the Barelvi major

    The important part to not e is not the esteem that these scholars had for each other, but rather the net effect of these schools - now, you make an excellent point about offering a diversity of views - So there are 4 recognized schools why not 5? What can you offer us to better understand this?

    General Kayani wants regional balance of power.

    Yes, but will the message be heard? Indian friends are convinced Pakistan is dead and it's only the certificate that they are waiting on - For Mr. Kiyani it's not words, but deeds that count, so long as he tolerates the dismantling of Pakistan and tell the citizenry to call the police and that...

    Who on earth said PAF will get only single engine fighters?

    You ask such a question of gamblers? - Decisive is not in the vocabulary of gamblers, they know they will be need to keep order afterwards, there is no decisive for them, sadly.

    The Cold Start Doctrine Watch.

    NCWF is a mystery - at least to me - All I know of it is that is NCWF - the details I am with Mr.Karnad on that, but even the outlines are so fuzzy and vague that it's difficult if not impossible to comment on it.

    Shocked: What is this? Only for Pakistanis

    All I asked you to do is explain what you find objectionable about "arabized" - I think it's a reasonable question and you should be able to answer it because you take exception to it

    Shocked: What is this? Only for Pakistanis

    yaara if you are so sure that you are representative of Pakistan, how do you explain the video? And I'm confused about your taking exception to "arabized", what about "arabized is negative to you?? Why??

    Shocked: What is this? Only for Pakistanis

    That's already happening - our arabized crew has such a strong sense of certitude that they refuse to consider the idea that there can be multiple ways, multiple paths -- they insist, they are angry, their way or no way - unfortunately for them, they misjudge the time and the environment. See...

    Shocked: What is this? Only for Pakistanis

    I think you have that wrong - Dancing naked or otherwise with a bomb America in the background is simply an artistic choice, not an invitation to drones. I know where your head and heart is when you are calm - this is just a discussion, so consider: Why does it increasingly take coercion for a...

    Shocked: What is this? Only for Pakistanis

    That is certainly true and shameful and tragic -- on the other hand it makes our case that increasingly because of such things, islam has ceased to have "meaning" in peoples lives, now it is not a vehicle to bring one to Faith in God, to enable hope, it is merely a tool of coercion, of social...

    Shocked: What is this? Only for Pakistanis

    Precisely -- see our arabized crew exhibit attitudes that enable such murders -- The girl dancing is not an artist, heck no she's a prostitute, Dance, joy, fun, all these are, especially if women should engage in them, cause for murder -- see, it's inappropriate and we can't have different...

    Who on earth said PAF will get only single engine fighters?

    So your point here is that a larger fighter, a true multi-role is what we should go for? After all the comparison between a bomber and a fighter/bomber (multi-role) and a comparison between a light fighter (point defense) and a fighter/bomber (multi-role) should also hold. I also take your...

    Shocked: What is this? Only for Pakistanis

    The Shrines of Saints and Pirs, of teachers/scholars who by virtue of their scholarship and/or deeds are held by people in high esteem -- people visit their shrines and offer prayers and seek their intercession in the problems of their lives - many times at these shrines, food is offered and...

    Who on earth said PAF will get only single engine fighters?

    I think you've nailed the major issue of doctrine between the protagonists. In Pakistan and among Pakistanis, the idea of change is highly suspect - we really really hate it. We are locked into the hold the adversary at bay for 2 weeks and pray for the US to intervene, now things have changed...
