Do the traders here just sell pre-packaged items, or can they tailor items to your liking as well?

Hi, It's been some time since I posted on this forum (hi @Armstrong), though I do browse though now and again for interesting analysis. I'll be travelling to Pakistan over the summer, and I'm looking to do some clothes shopping. Shirts, blazers, suits - that sort of thing. What's a good place...

Socialism and capitalism aren't two wings of an economy. Socialism supports market-intervention whereas capitalism embraces a flawed free market theory (that the market's will work in order to alleviate problems and create social mobility - the markets work for profit, not the common man)...

Socialism isn't a universal evil. The common man must have control of the means of production. Democratic socialism is something Pakistan needs, as opposed to market capitalism. We must also distinguish between three things: (1) The private faith of individuals and the state's irrelevance in...

I'm not concerned with citations - I'm not writing an academic thesis, and neither would you have the intellectual capacity to read one, I doubt. Unless there's something hindering you physically, in which case you have my full sympathies, I'm sure you can make use of Google. Again, you make a...

Karachi Bar Association, '48. Look up the rest yourself. Oh the correct punctuation would've been a question mark and not a full stop.

I agree with you totally. I wasn't arguing against military courts (though I concur that they are not a long-term solution), but for them: we can't let a cowardly judiciary and political class stop them. They are the best solution we have to deal with extremism. If we allow them to win, and...

"A straw man is a common type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on the misrepresentation of an opponent's argument. To be successful, a straw man argument requires that the audience be ignorant or uninformed of the original argument." I don't see where I advocated for heads behind...

This isn't the time to compromise. Patchwork solutions never work and have led Pakistan down this path. Kill and dump won't take care of terrorists in jails that are amenable to break outs. Neither will it be able to eradicate this cancer from its roots such as the cities and other provinces: it...

Dear, before questioning somebody's understanding of political science, do try to question one's own literacy ability. Especially when such lines of questioning, apart from their structural flaws, are abundant in historical distortions and use of philosophical fallacies. Perhaps for some...

You compare Muslims to Pagans, and this is exactly what the TTP do. Good show, old boy. The difference is they wrap up their garbage in false religiosity whereas you raise it in the name of modernity. Tell me this, which political philosophy and system of Government do you advocate? I don't...

You make a number of rather fallacious claims. Firstly, Sharia is Islamic law and like secular legal systems, it is found in the books; you do not make it up as you go along. In essence, what you're saying is that the substantive nature of Islamic law calls to violence - if so, then do, please...

These pages from Fatimah Jinnah's biography of Jinnah were deleted. They are a damning indictment of the Palace Coup that was little less of a toppling of Jinnah after the creation of Pakistan. Blame this oligarchy for the bastardization of Pakistan. The Dawn article can be found here.

Oh look, the idolatry of light skin.

People that follow Qadri need to really wonder if they have mental freedom and the ability to think for themselves. Correct me if mistake, but most present qualities of brainwashed cultists who will do anything to defend their "leader".

If we're going to make this an argument about literary skills, then I think you ought to brush up on basic grammar. I understand you completely well.

I'd rather my flag not bet he flag of India. At the end of the day you're advocating for the rape and targeting of civilians. You're no worse than the LeT who advocate for the same thing.

The TTP aren't fighting for the Shariah, they're fighting against the Shariah. The Shariah doesn't tell you to go and blow up buildings (or rather, kill innocent children). There may be an argument and a sentiment to see the state to be "more Islamic", but you misrespresent what it is to be...

I'm afraid I have to agree with Solomon2 on this one, the December 1949 speech as per the link provided is this:
