Raheel Sharif appointed chief of Islamic military alliance, confirms Khawaja Asif

There is a desperate and intentionally created propaganda against RS's new assignment and his agreement. Seems like not just anti-Islam forces are trying to Malign and badmouth this development but Pakistan's enemies are also in pain that their hired media guns became so active in these days while putting everything behind.

From the some sources, not just Tallat Hussain but many others are trying to defame RS with blames and even name calling. We can see who clearly feel insecure of such alliance though it has nothing to do against any country but to curb down the growing threat of Terrorism.

As it became a fashion to link every terrorist with Islam to defame and malign Muslims, it was necessary to come with such force to tell the world once again that as the rest of world and us, were harmed of Terrorism, the same time we are agree to fight and bring down the threat as well so hopefully there wouldn't be crying and insecurity due to such.

One thing more, never the Terrorism would have happened nor the people blamed Muslims for as such, this alliance wouldn't have become reality so indeed, rest of the world must be appreciated for the help.
As for me, it's personal and highly emotional. One hundred years after the collapse of the Ottoman Army, another united Muslim army is taking roots. No wonder some folks are clearly upset. But little they know or fathom that it's all per PLANS AND EXECUTIONS where no mortal has any share or say...

You see the problem here is the undelying contradiction in the posture of the countries involved. KSA and rest of GCC are strongly allied with America. Israel is strongly allied with America. In Middle East context this places GCC and Isreal on the same side - which is why GCC has made every effort to not antognize Israel and instead is in lockstep with he Jewish state in opposition to Iran. Both GCC and Israel regard Iran the primary threat which of course fits in with American thinking.

This is plain and obvious to any observer. Thus it places Pakistan in very difficult position. Amongst some interesting facts extracted from the link provided by you are -

UAE. According to UAE and U.S. officials, there are about 5,000 U.S. troops, mainly Air Force personnel, stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base. The main mission for U.S. troops in the UAE is to operate refueling and surveillance aircraft. In April 2012, the United States reportedly deployed several F-22 Raptor combat aircraft to Al Dhafra.67

Qatar. It is thought that thousands of U.S. troops are based in Qatar, mainly from the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. operates its Combined Air Operations Center out of Al Udeid Air Base, which is one of the most important U.S. airbases in the world. Al Udeid Air Base also serves as the forward headquarters of CENTCOM. In addition, the base houses significant pre-positioned equipment for the U.S. military.

Bahrain. The longest serving permanent U.S. military presence in the Middle East is found in Bahrain, and today some 7,000 U.S. military personnel are based there. Bahrain is home to the Naval Support Activity Bahrain and the U.S. Fifth Fleet so the majority of U.S. military personnel are predominantly from the U.S. Navy. In addition, there are a significant number of U.S. Air Force personnel operating out of Shaykh Isa Air Base, where F-16s, F-18s, and P-3 surveillance aircraft are stationed.69 The deep-water port of Khalifa bin Salman is one of the few facilities in the Gulf that can accommodate U.S. aircraft carriers.

Kuwait.
There are approximately 15,000 U.S. troops based in Kuwait.66 These troops are spread among Camp Arifjan, Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base, and Ali Al Salem Air Base.

Same people wanted to see Muslims on same page and together fighting terrorism. And now these dual faces are opposing this idea of 'Muslim Ummah' and criticizing RS.

When Shah was there, Pak and Turkey were great friends. Maybe time to have a regime change in Iran itself. I think majority of the Iranian folks hate Bazari Mollas to the core - at least this is my impression talking to Iranians here or in Turkey...

Not only fart without American permission but they have to kiss them - literally.

People accuse of GCC being anti-Iranian but they forget the pre-1979 Iran and its excellent relations. People claim not to be Mullah lovers, yet support their policies without actually knowing ground realities, i.e. Iran's meddling in other countries internal affairs.

Although decision-making of RH appointment can be questioned because of civil military divide for obvious reasons, RH heading this alliance is big positive for Pakistan, only secterian diversionists have been wrong footed and trying to spread doubts. Alliance headed by an Ex Pak Army chief is no ordinary matter, it shows Pakistan's unique position in the Islamic World. It will only increase Pakistan's stock in the world. There will be consequences but you dont stay stand still because of fear of backlash from some countries.

I think Middle East Situation would be much better today, if Saddam never attack Iran. That s where the grievances start, when all GCC countries support Saddam for 8 years of war. Well, it will take time for the dust of animosity settle down. We can change the friends but not the neighbors.

The young Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Salman is showing real leadership in tackling the terrorism threat by ISIS. It is an honor to see Our own Raheel Sharif who is going to lead this war on terror from Pakistan's side.

This is MUSLIM MILITARY ALLIANCE against terrorist organizations and people viewing it as a ISLAMIC MILITARY ALLIANCE replica of NATO, Military arm of EU and this wrong.For the same reason the question arises in People mind as said by one of the member, due to the economic and military disparity between different countries people are unable to align there interest with each other.
My enemy is the enemy of Muslims and we should fight together. But Your enemy is not the enemy of all Muslims and you need to resolve it yourself. This needs to be sorted out otherwise we will continue to face a situation we are in now.Survival is in cohesion not in division.
Anyhow, initiation has to be taken and who knows this might be the first step..

Even better if Shah Ismail hadn't forcefully converted Sunnis to Shias or otherwise killed them (sounds familiar? Catholics, South America, Spain etc.).

Ignorance isn't necessarily always a bliss. Last time they sent even 14 year olds to the front but couldn't take Besra. Let's see how it unfolds this time...
