Hi,
It is not the denial or the existance----but it the extant of evil that has spread into the society that is an issue.
Evil is every where---no doubt about it----but most others don't claim the sainthood that we claim. We call ourselves the protectors of islam----and when threatened we call in the blasphemy laws---. When challenged----the vulgarity and profanity that we use in our language while protecting the NAMOOS A RISALAT---THE DIGNITY OF HOLY QURA'AN is beyond comprehension of a living being with any kind of conscience left in them.
The tactics that the pakistanis have used in belittling opponents by using religion, namoos a risalat and qura'an----is beyond shame----in the name of Allah, the prophet Mohammad and the Holy Qura'an the pakistani have committed heinious crimes aganist living humanity----and hasn't stopped there either and has been carried on over the dead bodies as well.
If our beloved prophet Mohammad was alive today and saw what was happening in this LAND OF THE PURE---his screams full of pain and agony would be heard all across the universe----.
Our prophet who forgave one and all---people who committed atrocities against him----Hazrat Ali----who forgave the man who he was about to kill in the battle when that man spat on his face----.
Allah told us---chose your leaders carefully---chose those amongst you who have the capability of providing you with justice, make good decisions for you and look after for your welfare----there was so much emphasis for chosing good leadership----people with character, dignity, honesty and people who chose law over excess, people who enforced the rule of law over one and sundry with equality.
An islamic society is a society of the rule of law, equality for all and justice for the weak and the poor alongwith the well offs.
The masses converted to islam not to say the prayers for five times a day---or to offer fastings for 30 days---or to go to haj---or to offer zakat---they converted to the belief for equality---for justice----for a right to life----for right to living in a state that was compassionate to their needs---a state that protected the weak against the strong---a state where a man could live, prosper as a free being with human dignity and honor----.
So---if you look at the emphasis that has been put on the selection of chosing the right kind of leadership---it shows what an important and integral part of the belief this often forgotten part is---as a matter of fact this is the most important part of the belief when it comes to serving the mankind---.
A muslim nation that has no protection for the weak and the poor and the weary, for women and for children, for the old and the despondent----that nation has no righ to callitself the islamic republic of pakistan----or the leader of the islamic nations----or the fort of islam----.
Submarines----I would reccommend to you guys to read up on a sub writer---Joe Buff-----whereas Tom Clancy wrote about the sub warfare of the 80's----Joe writes about the sub warfare in the 21st century----.
The tactics have changed dramatically as has the electronics, the sensors, the underseas weaponery, the submarines themselves---todays subs and their capabilities are a light years ahead of what was in the 70's and 80's----.
It literally is an eye opener to see the capabilities of the sea wolf class subs---even if it is a case of fiction ( Robert Ludlum once wrote that in every piece of fiction, there is some truth to it ).
I very much doubt that the pakistani politicians had any clue where the submarine warfare was headed towards---if they had know----they would have been on a fast track to have signed up the german sub deal years ago----.
A less expensive alternative is anti submarine warfare equipment---for that pak doesnot have to spend as much---being in the geographic location that it is, it might have to look at other means and resourc es to counter the subs---.
I think for that reason the OHP will play a very important role. If you can't get the subs---get the surface vessels---they are cheaper and they pack a lot of punch---.
You can literally lose multiple surface vessels to one enemy sub and still come out ahead---todays subs are a billion dollar preposition---but the psychologuical loss of one is immensely greater than the loss of many surface vessels---I am only talking about the local scenario here.
If you get one sub---then you have a better chance of getting the others in the proximity----a surface fleet could be equally important for us and may do the job if we have the right assets in place.
