This photo, however, is backed by statistics and substance:

Photos do not prove anything blackeagle, they have to be backed with statistics and context to have any meaning. Most of the photos you showed appear to be staged to me, made in order to appeal to the anti Israel crowd. Here is the reality of *gulp* Apartheid Israel

This is the NEED of the time. I hope Ahmedinejad succeeds.

Blackeagle, I notice, although I am pro Israel and you are anti Israel, both you and I want welfare of palestinians, arabs and jews living in Israel and middle east. I think the refugees should be given citizenships after living for so many years in their host countries, as all countries do and...

For a moment let's assume that the narrative of Muslims that Palestinians are brutally oppressed is correct. (it is not, but that would be a long debate). You said killing a Sudanese is wrong as much as killing Palestinians. However, it appears, for Muslims, a Palestinian life is far more...

Yes, I know that Muslims are supposed to be brothers of other Muslims. They should support each other, this is what Islam says. So, it seems, it is natural Pakistanis support Palestinians as opposed to Israelis or being neutral. The problem is, this Ummah sympathy is not uniform...

Zionists never claimed they are superior and others are damned. The Talmudic references were debunked by Solomon2. Zionism is the founding ideology of Israel, so naturally, Patriotic Israelis would support Zionism. Zionism is about the establishment of a Jewish state in it's historic homeland...

If we look at this empirically, there is no reason why Pakistanis should be anti Semitic. They don't have any relation with Israel, nor did Israel ever harm them and I doubt there are any jews living in Pakistan. I think Pakistani anti-semitism is based on a desire to imitate the Arabs. I...

Thanks for the elaboration. The days of the earliest Caliphs like Umar, uthman were surely ravaged with conflicts. The earliest caliphs were assassinated so, naturally, there would be divisions. It appears what Yazid did was a result of these divisions. So, I conclude that the early divisions...

Yes, I agree from a religious point of view Yazid would be despised because he murdered Hussein and many other companions of the Prophet. Everybody has a good and bad side. I was talking from an oriental point of view, where most non-muslim historians recognise the good things that Yazid did eg...

His Facebook status after this incident: "I refused this evening at Oxford University to debate with an Israeli, a supporter of the Apartheid state of Israel. The reason is simple; No recognition, No normalisation.Just Boycott, divestment and sanctions, until the Apartheid state is defeated. I...

George Galloway walks out of Oxford Israel Debate - YouTube The controversial MP George Galloway has been accused of racism after walking out of a meeting at Oxford University when he discovered he was debating with an Israeli. Mr Galloway, who is the Respect party MP for Bradford West...

I don't think Yazid should be singularly blamed for sectarianism in Islam. If you look objectively, Yazid was a brilliant statesman. It is in his time that the empire was united under a "caliphate", with an organised bureaucracy and army like the Byzantine and Persians. Almost all the Caliphs...

Very realistic analysis, cheers :tup: As a part russian myself, i'd like Russia to withdraw from supporting Assad. Already, Russian citizens in Syria are being evacuated.

Are Iranians not Arabs? At least their rulers are. To be an Ayatollah, one has to trace ancestry to Quraysh, an Arabian tribe. Also I do not think it is wise to try to solve 1000 year old disputes now. Ideally, shias and sunnis should try to reconcile differences. Both Shias and Sunnis should...

It indeed does. Ataturk's banning of hijab is one reason why Islamists didn't get traction in Turkey. That has started to change with AKP though. After 9/11, many European nations were the target of Islamist attacks such as Russia, UK and Spain. Not France, however. The point here is the...

Why can't Iran just leave it's hegemonic ambitions and concentrate on it's country? People are being lowered to poverty with the dying Iranian Rial.

after having a closer look at the map, i agree.

If you think about it strategically, it would increase communication and link between western india and Eastmost part and perhaps lead to more development of Eastmost India and bangladesh too. Bangladesh seems to be a thorn in the path at the moment...

Leaving nationalism aside, not only Nepal, it would make sense for all of the little countries such as Nepal, Bhutan and Banglades to join India. Pakistan can't join India because of the historic rivalry, but with the recent killing of shias, it would certainly do better with Indian model of...
