The Algeria model shows that islamist militants can be used to fight other islamist militants... It is inevitable, because of the sectarian and ideological differences between the differing groups. Pakistan's threat is Taliban militants, no one else at the moment. It would be wrong for...

No one in Pakistan has accepted the ludicrous Bharti claims of terrorists following strict orders from the State. What a dishonest statement to make, that is in complete denial of the facts on teh ground. Kashmir is a disputed territory, and the freedom struggle in Kashmir is not terrosim...

Better to keep this 'little known weapon' exactly that...little known. We'll let you suprise us with it...

I certainly don't hate Indians, nor do most Pakistanis I know...

Malaymishra...you must have this totally wrong. The rural people of Punjab, Sindh, etc. are not very islamic at all. They have their traditions, but they are the least people to wander into extremism, or believe in the violence that the Taliban preach. It is the towns and cities which are...

I'm not in the business of offering anyone anything new, except for a bullet in the head of the terrorists. There's nothing wrong with the status quo. The roots of this political violence lie in matters beyond our borders. No matter what system we offer these terrorists, they will find...

Just because we are muslims, doesn't mean that we support those muslims who seek to create an autocratic state, through planned violence and atrocity, and who mask their real intent of greed and lust, in misinterpreted notions of political Islam, which are far and away from the Islam that was...

well...i was born in Germany...so I might know a thing or two...lolz

After feeling a bit down for a couple of weeks, however, reading the sentiments of Ordinary Pakistanis, and seeing and hearing first hand of what the people of Pakistan, swat, Nwfp, Karachi, lahore, even FATA think about what is happening to our country, I am filled again with HOPE. I...

It was with Heidelberg in mind that Allama Iqbal wrote the famous verse "Koh ke daaman main, Ik chhota sa Aashiana."

I don't think nawaz is the answer....i don't think we have an answer..in terms of having one strong leader...we do not have this luxury, so we must do without it. we must collectively stop this trhead,...us...civilians, armymen, lawyers, teachers, labourers, expats, journalists, maulvis...

If you believe that these brances of govt. act in a solitary manner, with no influence, input, lobbying, pressure, upon each other...then what can I say...It shows naiveity.

I think it's the 'five minutes of fame' syndrome, nothing else.

lolz...the last couple of paragraphs do discredit the whole article preceeding it...talk about stones and glass houses...sheez..

I've noticed a lot of people are posting articles, without providing links for reference. It is encumbent that every article is provided with a source link. Thanks.

I agree with that whole heartedly. I belive there is a thing such as an Islamic State, and a legitimate political culmination of the dominance of Islam. It's just that I belive that it is merely a by product of our religious faith, rather than the entirety of the faith itself. To agitate...

The most important aspect we are missing, is that religion is only used to mask their real motivations, and to mislead the ignorant into supporting them out of a flawed sense of religious duty. The conflict is about power, money, greed. Religion is but a tool, to mask their intentions, and...

Personally, i wouldn't like more of these instances. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, or are serious. This was obviously done to create tensions in the area. For all we know, the Taliban are trying to fan the flames of ethnic tensions, like the AQ (or the Americans according to some)...

I agree that Islamism as opposed to Islamically aware political activism (for want of a better word) is a modern ideology, which does lend itself to revolutionary violence. It's the proces of taking western revolutionary philosophy, borrowed from the communists and others, and juxtaposing it...

Well, Bharat had no diplomatic relations with Israel (even after initial recognition of the State in the early 50s), until only a few years ago..1992 to be exact, after the beginning of the Arab Israeli peace process. As for rejecting passports, and sanctions...the need wouldn't arise, since...
