An Islamic coalition would definitely be a step forward - but not if the Saudis intend to use it as their personal servant. Iran must be included in dialog at the very least. The Saudis' and Iranians' pride has cost hundreds of thousands of Muslim lives while the West continues to 'intervene'...

Firstly, kidnapping or vigilantism by random individuals is never justified - these 'activists' should have been taken to court and dealt with lawfully. If agencies have done this (unlikely in my opinion), they'll hopefully be put through proper channels as soon as possible. I won't comment...

That video is hilarious - their "expert" doesn't even know what SLCM stands for, never mind calculating its trajectory and speed 1:06 "Pakistan is claiming that this is the Babur 3 Submarine Launched Capable Missile" 1:38 "This video has been questioned by those who are in the know about...

Bhai Jaan why don't you understand that Zia took over in 1977, and he did not cause the 1971 war. Regardless of whether you accept ot or not, the reality is that "Democratic" politicians like Bhutto were just as responsible for the split as the Generals, if not more so. It wasn't a General who...

This article makes a valid point but makes too big of a deal out of it. Most people will just follow the new account once it starts being used - those who don't probably aren't too interested in the first place. Funny you say that considering that US social media was full of people talking...

Bloodless in the sense that the Army never faced resistance from the public. 1971 didn't happen during a coup, and it didn't happen because of a coup. Bhutto was hanged nearly 2 years after Zia took power. Votes are not the only way the public can show support or opposition to something. We...

If that is true, I have only one question to ask - why was every coup in Pakistan's history completely bloodless? Surely if the civilian leaders were so popular, and democracy was stabilized, any military coup attempt would face public backlash - but it never did. In fact, people were...

On a geopolitical level, yes, it's about power. I was talking about the reason why some people in less developed countries think of America as superior, mostly the psuedo-liberals. Dawn is full of them - some may well be on payroll, it's no secret that the US has been 'investing' in Pakistani...

The amount of propaganda in this post is nauseating. If civilian politicians were anywhere near competent and slightly less corrupt, the Army would not be interfering in politics at all. Have you noticed how every time there is a military coup, it has public support? That's because the military...

True but unfortunately that makes it very easy for the US to declare Snowden a traitor and Russian Spy. I suppose he could have hidden in an Ecuadorian embassy like Assange - seriously though, respect to Ecuador for not giving in to US demands for so long. Here's what would have happened to...

I fully agree with you that calling for his death is wrong and gives a bad impression, he should be prosecuted legally and punished according to the law if he is found guilty. But I'd just like to point out that there is a certain country that everyone loves having relations with whose...

Meanwhile in the Great Tolerant Democratic West, Chelsea Manning who leaked secrets is being tortured in a military prison, while Julian Assange is hiding in an embassy under siege by armed police. But if Pakistan puts this guy on an exit control list, the whole world goes mad.

Those people are undoubtedly hypocritical Khwarij Takfiris, I think everyone would agree with you on that. What I don't agree with is the label "Islamist" because it implies they're actually following Islam when in fact they're doing the opposite of following Islam. And I don't agree with...

La Cia. We probably won't know for sure within our lifetimes, but in my humble opinion Seymour Hersh's version of events is much more realistic - that Pakistani agents found Bin Laden and were holding him in the compound, and made a deal with the Americans to hand him over and announce later...

So protesting against what is practically a genocide makes you "not open minded" and "hypocrites"? Great logic right there.

"Islamists"? What does that mean? That they follow Islam - do they mean 'Muslims'? Intentional use of misleading terminology to discredit the protesters and make it sound like they are terrorists or something. Sure, they might be from Islamic religious groups, but they are protesting in...

Then you are free to stop posting on this forum. I'm not forcing you to post - who is then, your State Department? They didn't have to, they made money legally through the military-industrial complex. The taxpayers still paid for the war. No, not only in Pakistan. The US has backed dictators...

Oh really? Are George Bush, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in jail right now? No. No they're not. What about Tony Blair - did anything come of that much-anticipated Chilcot Report? No. And they've murdered, tortured, sent soldiers into illegal wars, bombed hospitals, committed...

Starting off with a personal attack. I'm already impressed with your refined debating skills.:coffee: I 'clamped' on his use of the word "parasite" to describe a nation of 200 million. I've argued with him hundreds of times before, and I've never given him a negative rating for his...
