We say things about the Saudis and Iranians all the time too. Apno'n mein aisa hota hay :-) Here is how Zardari responded, by the way: Zardari's office responded by saying the president regards the king as an "elder brother." "The so-called leaks are no more than an attempt to create...

Hehehe :-) It's not because of the bolded part. Otherwise he would have said something similar about Quaid-e-Azam, Yusuf Raza Gilani, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and various others :-) Let's not make this into a sectarian discussion.

You are acting as if this was a public statement. Publicly, the Saudis have said no such thing. Zardari may dislike Abdullah but he too will not say anything like this publicly. Reminder: these are *leaked* documents. Not something intended for the public at large. So it shouldn't come as...

Wow. Why so defensive? No. What I am saying is that these leaks reflect a sliver of reality. For one, they only reflect US cables and do not represent what the other side took away from the exchange. Second, they do not provide a complete picture even from the US perspective. They give a...

Let's lap up these leaks as gospel and pretend they reflect the true picture of reality. Whatever floats your boat. These "leaks" were given to Assange by a serving member of the US Military, right?

Actually, you would be surprised. Re-export is bigger for Dubai than oil, for example. But that's really besides the point. You can't grudge someone their God given natural resources :-)

I won't ask you about who's demise :-) But thanks for admitting that you were wrong and were exaggerating earlier when you said once in five years. In reality, it's actually more than once a year, but let's drop it now that we've established things relatively accurately.

You went off into orgy territory... am I giving you examples of personal indiscretions of Indian politicians? I believe there are plenty of videos on Youtube of the aforementioned. But why reduce the discussion to such a petty level? Good. I just gave you my last response then. You are...

That is incredibly offensive. How would you like it if someone characterized India as a nation of snake charmers terms or as a bunch of naked swamis? I think this cattle herding business is rather uncalled for. Also, as we are talking about God blessing the Arabs with Black Gold, some of my...

These are acts of goodwill and all countries do things at a small level like this. When I fly Emirates if I give a donation to the Emirates fund, that goes to build schools for poor kids in India and is officially, a UAE donation to India. Pakistan and India have provided aid to each other in...

Thanks. That explains it.

Any idea who MbZ is?

How do you explain the spontaneous outpouring of abuse and invective aimed at muslim countries here?

^^ Thanks for pointing that out. Have you noticed though that there is a minority of Indian members who have raised the point you are raising, that India is interested in muslim countries, it is not ignoring them etc. and the majority have just attacked the muslim countries and the organizations...

Ok, now we have new accounts being created with 1 or 2 posts each - those too in this thread - solely for the purpose of trolling. If this continues I will ban trolls and their IP addresses. Keep it to the point and no need to reduce yourself to blabbering abuses and personal attacks if you...

Geez. Don't you get tired of being wrong??? 2010 OIC condemns Kashmir killings http://www.greaterkashmir.com/news/2010/Sep/17/oic-condemns-kashmir-killings-8.asp 2009 OIC appoints special envoy for Kashmir despite Indian protest http://news.outlookindia.com/item.aspx?667112 2008 OIC Contact...

Please learn to read. Go back and see what your countryman was claiming. He was claiming that India's GDP was larger than the entire OIC. That is a nonsensical claim. The GDP (non PPP) comparisons will show the OIC countries in an even better light, but even with PPP comparisons India is...

It is only now that India is a single country. A more apt comparison instead of the 1 vs. 57 would be population. As you've pointed out, the population is roughly the same. So the OIC has more than 3 times the PPP than India, even as per your numbers... despite having roughly the same...

Turkey's GDP is around $800B. Forget about everything else, just add Indonesia, Iran and Turkey and you are already ahead of India in GDP terms. Please don't nitpick. The original point was that a newbie claimed India's GDP to be larger than that of the combined OICs. That, of course, is bull$hit.

Its pretty clear you have, but now you are diverting the discussion. Let's just go back to your first post. You clearly didn't qualify names of islamic countries and conditioned India talking to them on them removing Kashmir from the discussion. When I pointed out that you wouldn't be able to...
