The "Blame it all on Zia" crowd needs to do its homework once in a while. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Pakistan_relations: "After the Iranian Revolution and overthrow of Shah of Iran, Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khomeini withdrew Iran from CENTO and dissociated itself from the United...

This can be read in one of two ways: (1) You are promoting the meme that there should be a Pavlovian response equating Pakistan with terrorism and militancy. In which case, you are a propagandist. (2) You genuinely believe that Pakistan is exclusively about terrorism and militancy. In this...

And you keep bringing up Aafia and her alleged guilt when I have already stated that I did not respond to you to convince you or anybody else of her lack of guilt or otherwise, but for an entirely different reason.

Getting worked up, are we? We already know what you secular-liberal types think of the allegations against Aafia. I did not respond to you to change your opinion about her or the allegations against her, but to put right some of the assertions you had made in posts #20 and #49...

Indeed he did - they had to provide a cover for his release, and they found one not in Anglo-Saxon common law, but in Islamic law. That's a pretty lame attempt at a riposte. I pointed out to you flaws in your "facts" leading you to change your stance on, as you put it, Pakistan spending...

From embassyofpakistanusa.org/dual.php: US nationals of Pakistani origin can now have dual nationality. In addition to their US passports, they can now also keep their Pakistani passports. In order to apply for their Pakistani passports they would have to submit their original US passport...

You forgot to use "douchebag", that other pejorative that you are so fond of liberally peppering your posts with. It is clearly pointless to attempt to hold a debate with juveniles, capable only of spewing one false accusation after another rather than engaging in intellectual discourse...

This is the best that you could come up with? Not only have you ignored and/or misunderstood the point I was making, but you have also used the opportunity to make the calumnious (and false) allegation that I did not read xyxmt's comment in post #2. Once again, here is the point: it is...

Exactly how many overseas Pakistanis do you know or have investigated to make a sweeping generalisation like this? Others have commented on this remark already, but your expectation here is incontestably refutable: it implies that all overseas Pakistanis are somehow anti-Pakistan. It would...

Anytime, bro :) - salaams!

I just checked my calculation again. Here it is in full: Looks like I missed a factor of (1/2) in the original calculation for I. But the steps are correct otherwise, as the differential check shows. Not sure how you can claim that I= (e^(t^2))/3 + C differentiates to the original...

Integrating forever is a sure sign that (1) you are on the wrong track, or (2) you need to use induction or iteration. There is a simpler way - try substitution. Here's how: 1. Let g=t^2 2. This implies that (1/2)dg = t*dt (operator equivalence) 3. Substitute into the integral I = \int...

Good point - but let us be clear about one thing. There is no clergy in Islam, hence the word "cleric" is a misnomer. It is easy in today's mass-media influenced world to interpret Islam from a non-Islamic angle, and one has to be careful with this. Islam has its own classifications for the...

The halls are lined with stories of massive corruption? Specifics, please? For the sake of argument, however, let us take that allegation as a given - you also believe that this is a financial black hole that needs to be investigated. Investigated by the PPP Government? The same one which has...

So according to you the correct question is "why", but you've decided to look at "what" it would achieve. No doubt Indians like yourself, as well as the foreign backers of the treacherous Government presently in power in Pakistan, and their liberal-minded worshippers in Pakistan, would love...

From Wikipedia, under "United States Nationality Law": "Based on the U.S. Department of State regulation on dual citizenship (7 FAM 1162), the Supreme Court of the United States has stated that dual citizenship is a "status long recognized in the law" and that "a person may have and exercise...

Did you even read post #9 before responding? Not only am I not disagreeing with you, but I would go a step further and have Altaf Hussain's Pakistani citizenship revoked for treachery to the country.

"Every Pakistani" who is a dual national is NOT a threat to Pakistan - please do not generalise. If you had stated that the current crop of dual nationals who have got into Parliament are a threat, then you would have a valid argument.

You really need to get out more, Armstrong bhai :)! Talk to citizens of countries which prohibit dual nationality and ask them how they feel about their home countries turning them into foreigners. The Indians at my former Uni used to resent this restriction in Indian law. I have also met...

Transparency for whom? And are those who demand transparency willing to be transparent themselves? Like other memes that promote the hegemonistic and self-granted "right to know all" of the dominant forces of our times, "transparency" is yet another feel-good buzzword that has become an easy...
