Russia calls UNSC session on Yemen crisis amid Saudi-led airstrikes Reuters / Mike Segar As fighting in Yemen intensifies Russia has called up an emergency UN Security Council session to put on pause Saudi-led coalition airstrikes for humanitarian purposes in an effort to quell the violence...

I get it, but the Saudi monarchy isn't exactly a 'Father-Son monarchy'. It's more like "Father-Son-Brother-Brother-Brother-Brother-Brother-Brother-Brother-Brother". That reminds me, I wonder who would become the King once the sons of Ibn Saud die off.

Would like to correct a minor mistake here. Power isn't transferred through 'sperm' in Saudi Arabia. It's usually transferred from one brother to another.

To be honest, I learned about 'Bakri' and 'Omari' today.

Why didn't Hadi get a 100%? Wasn't he the only candidate? Shi'ites reject the First Two Caliphs, Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) and Hazrat Umar (RA) whilst they are respected by the Sunnis. Basically, 'Bakri' and 'Omari' are terms used by Shi'ite for Sunnis.

Kufa served as the capital of the Rashidun Caliphate under Hazrat Ali (RA) and was a well-known to be a base for his supporters. This 'support' can be seen to this day as Kufa is religiously important for Shi'ites not Sunnis. That more or less shows that Shi'ites were the the people of Kufa...

I am well aware that 'Wahabi' isn't a thing and that Sunnis in Saudi Arabia are Hanbalis not Wahabis. However, given your 'extremist' view that anyone disagreeing with Saudi Arabia is a Shi'ite; I decided to call you a Wahabi. It is a well known fact that Saudi Arabia has supported Al Qaeeda...

Oh don't worry, nobody would want to wipe Saudi Arabia off the map. Hejaz has religiously important and Nejd is economically.

To be honest, Al Qaeeda is bad and so are Shi'ite militias. These groups are funded by Saudi Arabia and Iran respectively who impose a radical version of Islam upon them and then exploit thousands of men as 'tools' in their proxy warfare.

Wars are won on the basis of ones tactics and strategy. Being 'brave' and getting yourself killed leads you nowhere. At this very moment, it isn't feasible to launch a ground operation. Moreover, given the weak air defence of the Houthis; the Saudis have done a great job in exploiting that...

I don't support them, but the ironic thing about your post is that while you accuse them of violence; your own post is inciting hate and suggesting that they should be wiped out through 'suicide bombing'. Do these people not have families? Is every single person in the crowd a 'terrorist'? Why...

I doubt Pakistan and Israel would engage in any war. Both Israel and Pakistan (alone) lack the capability to effectively mount a land invasion of the other and therefore, any war would largely be restricted to the seas and to the sky. Anyways, I'm aware who you're referring to. But then again...

Saudis bomb Russian Consulate in Yemen Perhaps a bit outdated (two days old) but oh well.

I am not blaming Houthis to be seperatists. I am merely saying that any partition would be strongly in favour of the Houthis considering that they currently control the economically and strategically important locations in Yemen.

To be honest, Saudi Arabia has economic as well as geopolitical importance. They have also provided financial aid to numerous nations and would certainly expect something in return. Religiously, Saudi Arabia forms the heart of the Muslim world. These are reasons which have helped the Saudis gain...

Many Pakistanis also form part of the Saudi workforce. The Indians in Saudi Arabia are generally twice the number of Pakistanis despite the fact that the population of India is 6 times that of Pakistan. Did that make sense? No, cause simply having lots of people in your workforce doesn't make...

Economic relationships can always be maintained however I was particularly referring to 'friendship'.

Its not really surprising if the 'relation' were to further develop given that the Saudis must be feeling betrayed by the Pakistani reluctance to engage in the war against the Houthis.

Partition along sectarian lines is never the answer. Besides, any partition would strongly be in favor of the Houthis since East Yemen is largely a desert and would suffer economically. In comparison, the Houthi-dominated West Yemen would not only control the Straits of Mandeb, they would also...

If you were a Muslim, those Saudis on PDF would've accused you of being a Shi'ite. In any case, now there are going to accuse you of being a 'Kafir' [Infidel] I'd say that the reason we cannot oppose the atrocities committed by Saudi Arabia in Yemen is because of the importance and influence of...
