To all my dear countrymen, don't forget why Pakistan came into being. Read the following verse: Qaum Mazhab se hai, Mazhab jo nahi, tum bhi nahi, Jazb-e-baham bhi nahi, mehfil-e-anjum bhi nahi - Jawab-e-Shikwa by Allama Muhammad Iqbal (Shair-e-Mashriq) Translation: The nation exists on the...

Alright, I myself said that experimental aircraft are not failures by definition. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, the X-33 experimental Single Stage to Orbit Reusable Space Launch Vehicle (SSTO RLV) was supposed to be the first of its kind, replacing the current...

Sir, you can regard this as whatever you like. My job is not to satisfy your emotional needs, its to ensure the thread remains on topic. Not that I need to justify myself to you, but I've removed posts that were flame baiting calling the LCA Tejas a failed aircraft etc. That worked just fine...

But you can't talk about critical topics concerning Muslims such as, say, Jihad or the legitimacy of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. You can't comment on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict freely, you can't discuss the Kashmir issue, and so on. Muslim student groups have to face strong criticism to...

I can vouch for that because I've been down to the US, but only down as far as Washington and as East as New York. Beyond that, in some of the Southern states, things change drastically. I've relatives who relate some horror stories. But then, you can't generalize.

People, prototypes are not failed aircraft. Prototypes, technology demonstrators, experimental planes etc. are, by definition, one of a kind. The main purpose is to learn and apply. Stop calling prototypes failures, it hurts me as an engineer when you do so. Yes, sir. They have a full-size...

How come nobody has mentioned the amazing CF-105 Avro Arrow? A Canadian design that did things that American and British designers said couldn't be done! There was an entire documentary produced on the CF-105 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The aircraft was aborted when Prime Minister...

Hilarious stuff. But then again, I'm biased because I already like you for your sympathies towards the Jalaluddin Anwar Network and Tehreek-e-Inzamam-ul-Haq.

Sir, you may hate Geo, but you cannot deny that it is their right to protest. They reported an event that occurred, and so did many other news channels. This resulted in them being banned. For what? Doing their jobs and reporting an extremely important incident? Did the CNN get banned for...

I see where you're going with this. You will be hard pressed to find any scholars around the world (except, maybe, in India) who will argue that those fighting occupying forces in Kashmir and Palestine are not freedom fighters and are in the wrong. These are two causes on which there is pretty...

"None selection of Karachi batsmen like Asim Kamal and Fuad Alam" That is just wrong. Their being from Karachi has nothing to do with not being selected. This statement stinks of MQM tactics. "Love of dinasor failed un athletic players" What does this mean? Shoaib Akhtar? Anyway, the biggest...

Islam comes first, and in the spirit of Islam, the country that came into existence in the name of Allah comes second. Ethnicity comes last. To me, my religion and my country cannot be separated. Islam and Pakistan cannot be looked at individually for me. I am a Muslim first; a bad one, but a...

You don't need to speak English to get a degree in Urdu or Islamic Studies etc. This type of stuff boils my blood. The only language you need to speak is your own.

Once again, the regime is trying to control the media. I seriously don't know how our administration can continuously make the same mistakes and expect different results. This is, at least, the fourth time they've tried to shut down or control the media, and each of the time they've tried in the...

Superior only if you, in fact, require the quicker rate of fuel transfer. In Pakistan's case, the enemy is right next-door, we don't have to fly over the Pacific to strike at any reasonable target. On the other hand, it seems reasonable to assume that it is far easier to modify an aircraft by...

The democratic government of Iran has no intentions to create an empire. The democratically elected Palestinian Authority of Hamas also does not have any such plans. On the other hand, the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Brunei, the fraudulently elected government of...

What Mr. Cameron says or does matters none at all. What matters is when our President goes running to his country and shakes his hands. That is what grinds my gears. It was like bigot-fest in England recently. Priceless... Your actions in Kashmir deserve gifts and flowers, don't they...

Pakistan's worst flash floods in decades, which have left more than 1,500 people dead, have provided an opportunity for the Obama administration to repair the tattered image of the U.S. with a crucial ally. U.S. officials on Wednesday spelled out the administration's efforts to help those...

In every such tragedy, there are bound to be those who try to profit from others misery. However, you must look at what the majority is doing. In such situations, I can't think of another nation that gives as much as ours does. Seriously, I don't know of a single Pakistani here in Toronto that...

You are correct, in dire crisis, you can eat meat that is questionable. However, it is definitely not an unnecessary issue. The people there care deeply about this, and as a Muslim Pakistani, so do I. Secondly, it's a matter of accountability and dependability for the US and Pakistani...
