Very true. But the Imam's message is for all times. If in the current generation there are few who would understand the words and actions of Imam Husain, then the message will await another generation.. and another.. and another. It is the most powerful voice that rings out through time and space.

Luftwaffe, there wouldn't be much point in developing a new OS. Mac os x and ios are bsd derivatives, vmware esx, chromium and android draw from Linux. Even these large companies dont find it viable to develop new core os code from scratch. A handheld computer and its os were developed in...

Ejaz, I think you're way off here. Turkey has revamped foreign policy a couple of times since the end of the cold war. Give them a bit of credit for not living in the past. It was not policy wonks in Delhi who shunned Indian participation at the summit in question. Turkey kept india out. Better...

The quote used in the article has key elements in brackets, indicating insertion or paraphrasing. The quote is therefore not even credible. News source is one sided and the purpose of this thread is to start flame wars. Thread closed.

Bhai, Pakistanis don't "resent India's rise". I am being 100% honest with you so please don't take this the wrong way. I think my friends within India make more of this "rise" than the rest of the world does. You remember the whole "Shining India" situation from a few years ago? That didn't...

On a slightly different note, Turkiye sees itself at the center of a regional framework that doesn't have much to do with India. Turks have cultural affinity and ties with Central Asia, Iran, Pakistan and the Middle East. Davotaglu's "Look East" policy is centered on these partnerships. There...

On the one hand you claim an "exalted standing" (seriously??!!) and on the other you complain, no express "legitimate concern", regarding Turkey excluding you from the Afghan summit. Which is it?? Also, my friend, let's not puff up our chest to such a degree that we start to appear comical...

The tech industry in Pakistan is very well poised now. They are taking on bigger contracts from larger and more notable international companies. They've also survived and thrived during the recession as well as navigated the complexities resulting from the WoT. Gartner recently declared Pakistan...

Rest in peace Ambassador Holbrooke. May God accept all the good you did, overlook any mistakes you made and grant you entry into Paradise. Condolences to the Ambassador's family and to the American people, from your friends in Pakistan.

Thanks. But why would he be worried about the future of the parliamentary *system* based on some walkouts?

Can someone please shed light on this comment attributed to Jaswant Singh: " Apropos the JPC demand of the opposition, the PM says, "I am worried about the future of the parliamentary system. I hope reason will prevail."

Osama hasn't been convicted either, but I personally believe both Modi and Bin Laden are equally guilty. Anyway, I don't want to enter this debate.

Islam was/is/will remain one of the most enlightened world religions. Further, when you compare the progressive behaviour of muslim empires/societies with contemporary societies/empires of other religions, you can definitely affirm that Islam's adherents have not been worse than the adherents of...

Not at all. An individual's actions cannot shame a religion. And certainly not by a varied interpretation of personal morality (e.g. Veena Malik). I would go so far as to say that the acts of individuals - even when they are violent - do not *shame* a religion. Whether it is Osama or Zawahiri...

It doesn't make any sense, SparklingCrescent. Tall tale from the sound of it. 400 people will not a bit of difference make. And PA presence in all these areas means limited movement, inability to collect in numbers and various logistical difficulties. They can't dream of taking or holding any...

farfetched. seems like a desperate attempt to make the army rethink nwa. doubt they have the capabilities or numbers to make a difference in swat.

The last few pages have really degenerated... too many insults, bickering and pointless mudslinging. I will close this. 11 pages is enough, I think.

History is nuanced. Ghaznavi may or may not have burned Lahore, but he certainly brought with him Syed Salaar Masood Ghazi who established himself in Behraich and is pretty much worshipped by the locals - of all religions - even today. These stories are complex and can easily be used by...

Sufi'ism isn't "persian". It is an Islamic practice. Sufis spread their unique message, in their unique language and have become a major part of the culture of the subcontinent. Mosques and their architecture, aren't exclusively Persian. The mosque and its iconic dome/minaret evolved from Islam...

^^ Yes, in fact many muslims hold the belief that the holy scriptures of the hindu religion foretold the coming of Muhammad (pbuh&hf). Muslims believe that God sent guidance to every corner of the earth and over time, there were more than a hundred thousand major and minor Prophets who brought...
