Your post is perfectly indicative of how international politics dominates sport. Instead of looking at the hard statistical evidence that shows Lahore has been safer than New Delhi & Mumbai in the last year & so, you choose rhetoric & baseless political assumptions (politics should have nothing...

What part of my post did you not understand? Because Pakistan is being portrayed poorly in the international media, politics has entered into sport. A similar situation exists in Iran, do you see any international tournaments being held there, even though it is safer from a security POV than...

If the ISI has been labeled as a terrorist/terror sponsoring organization by the US, why is the US still in close cooperation with it?

That was in 2009, it's been 3 years since, & Lahore has been more peaceful than New Delhi & Mumbai in the last 2 years. It is unfortunate that politics has crept up into sport. It is not about India.

Implicating people based merely on emotions & outbursts would not set a good precedent.

It's not a question about security, but about politics dominating the sport. Lahore, where the games were supposed to be held, has been more peaceful as compared to New Delhi & Mumbai in terms of terrorist attacks in the last year & so.

I doubt the US/India have any substantial proof implicating HS. Contrary to common belief, I do not think this move was primarily to placate India, but is indicative of the failed WOT efforts in Afghanistan, & the perceived lack of support from Pakistan; trying to play hardball to save face...

This is how I predict things will turn out: a) The US will become increasingly marginalized in Afghanistan, & will look to cement whatever it has in Afghanistan, to have a presence in that country. The current events taking place in Afghanistan show that the ANA & the ANF are posing a growing...

Actually it does, considering the fact that many Americans think Obama has been too "soft" in defending America internationally, constantly apologizing to Afghanistan & other nations.

Just because he is anti-Indian or anti-US does not make him guilty. Present unequivocal, substantiated proof against him in court; just like the LeT has been banned in Pakistan, so will the JuD (& HS jailed).

PESHAWAR: Security forces gunned down 35 militants in fresh clashes in Upper Orakzai areas while one troop was also martyred Friday, Geo News reported. According to sources, security forces conducted clearance operation in Balaras and Khadezai areas of Upper Orakzai where 35 militants were...

Not an invalid comparison. The Clinton & the Bush Sr administration had been after him for many years before 9/11.

Well said.

What's so logical about that? They could be underestimating their death counts & overestimating the death counts of the militants. The military is not the one that reports its casualties (not most of the time anyways), it is the militant groups that give those statistics.

There is no comparison of what is happening in Yala, Pattani & Narathiwat to Balochistan; from a historical point of view, or the current situation. Even then, I do not support the separatist insurgency in Thailand. Neither does Developero, but he is giving the historical context of how the...

You need to brush up on your history on Balochistan:

The simple question: has there been a Muslim Ummah after the Prophet(S)'s life that has been peaceful, that has united all the Muslims together? Islamic history post Prophet(S) has been riddled with violence & Takfirism, with Munafiqs dominating the scenes. Muslims have been fighting & killing...

If Islamic history is anything to go by, Caliphates have always been Takfiri. Islamic history after Prophet(S)'s life has been violent & Takfiri, with "Munafiq" tyrants dominating the proceedings. The Arab Spring/Arab Islamic nationalism has been a recipe for disaster, destroying the country &...

The interesting thing is, whenever the Army kills militants somewhere in the FATA, the report says that "the claims/figures could not be verified, as the area is cut-off for access to journalists". However, when militants killed Army soldiers in the same location in the FATA, this sentence...

I agree with your post, I respect your point-of-view. I live in interior Sindh currently, not lavishly. In the current climate of the recent strikes & protests in Hyderabad, most people have a tendency to blame the other party, & present some kind of justification for what they stand for. I...
