The Chinese already have a lot of army/para military in Xinjiang, as the province has been simmering for the last two decades. My father was in Urumqi and Kashgar a month back, and he has told me about how high the security presence on the streets was. Another reason for disontent is that...

Thread reopened. Childish bickering, crude insults, personal swipes are demeaning to this forum and its members.

Any 'outrage' at such events is indicative of extremist and intolerable attitudes that have permeated sections of society. The Talibanisation of thought has long been underway. Howeve, the provocation of conservative morality, like dancers baring their chests, and such like, are not...

These figures must be taken with a pinch of salt. There are reports, also on teh bbc news website, which put the figures much higher, and the proportion of uighurs killed at 90 percent.

ATS has been banned for his xenophobic outburst. Let this be a lesson to all wannabe troublemakers. It goes without saying that THIS is a Pakistani forum, with an International membership. To insult the whole nation and people of Pakistan is therefore NOT a good idea. I hope the penny...

Comparing Balochis and Uighurs is like comparing chalk and cheese. The Balochis chose to become part of the Pakistan federation, while no one has ever bothered to ask the Uighurs. The majority of Balochis, except for a few trouble makers, are happy to be a part of the great Nation of...

Uighurs suffer from systematic oppression, and a land grab. Xinjiang is not China, it is annexed territory. Are you saying all uighurs are terrorists? That seems a bit harsh. As for uighurs killing Han Chinese, I'd take hte official figures with a pinch of salt. In most previous...

No need to close thread, as long as it is made clear that the news is false, as you have already done. Thanks Duhastamish/ Though it must be said, that I wouldn't expect the Bharati govt. to own up to any losses suffered in Afghanistan. Maybe we should wait for independant verification of...

Jesus re-interpreting Old Testament teachings should in no way give license for others to do so. Last I heard, Christian fathers and priests have refrained from claiming themselves to be the Son of God. Claiming that the re-interpretation by Jesus could be on a par with re-inrepretations of...

Personally, I feel sometimes it is only a friend that can tell another friend a harsh truth, that one does not want to hear. What better friend than Pakistan to do so? But we are a Nation indebted to others, whether USA, China or Saudi/Gulf. How many years did it take us to raise the...

That migration is not a State Sponsored scheme to dilute the demographics of a whole people,a nd their claim on their homeland. That would be akin to northern/eastern liberal American states bussing liberal democrats to southern states, and encouraged to settle there, in order to win...

There's one big fallacy with your line of argument. The Uighurs did not leave their homeland go to any other country to demand jobs. Their own language has been made obsolete in their own homeland. If technical subjects like engineering and medicine can be translated into chinese (a pretty...

I'm hearing from a source in Pakistan, that Fazlullah urf Mullah Radio is dead! It is unconfirmed, as of yet.

I wouldn't necessarily blame the PPP for this, nor the Judiciary/CJ for that matter. The inability by the Police, FIA to make a proper case, and the prosecution to bring this man to trial, is the fault of the agencies concerned. It's not the first time that a terrorist/sympathizer has been...

go back to the jungle...fake tiger

oh...that must have our neighbours quaking in their boots....lol where do these people get off on....sheez.. although some of the analysis was sound, the delivery seems to have been a practical joke.

I wish our Bharatiya friends would say the same thing about manjit/sarabjit singh, who was convicted of terrorism in Pakistan, with overwhelming evidence. Instead, they have tried through hook or crook to let this terrorist escape the death penalty. Hypocrisy.

Can you provide a reference for this, because as far as i know, they are not banned. Nor is simply banning a group seen as helpful in British counter terrorism ideology, who would rather see a group monitored than banned. Even during the height of the troubles, the Sinn Fein (mouthpiece of...

Karachi girl 'dumped in manhole' Two policemen in the Pakistani city of Karachi have been detained in connection with the alleged murder of a three-year-old girl, officials say. The girl went missing from her home in a working-class neighbourhood on Friday. Her body was later recovered...

You obviously don't read much. Open the monthly, well circulated "Urdu Digest" or any other number of publications, and the first pages are full of letters sent by concerned citizens about various issues, raising awareness, etc. And Secondly, during the British Raj, at least officials took...
