This has been well documented enough on the infiltration of radical Islam not only in the Armed forces, but also in PAF and in PN. A notable incident in PAF was Mushaf Ali Mir's alleged involvement with Abu Zubaidah as investigated by Gerald Posner. Of course, this would come in the domain of...

I asked a question in my post ; Do you know who Claude Arpi is and what he writes about ? A very pertinent question. Someone who generalizes with a sweeping statement about India sucking upto Western interests based upon the name of the author when it has been Pakistan in the American bed until...
We had Claude Arpi give a seminar on "India and its Neighborhood challenges" in IITB the other day. I had always believed that he might have a soft corner for China and was evident from his talk. One of his principal focal points were on the often known problems of India within and around the...

Well isn't that what your ilk are already doing ? Do you even hear a peep from me about it ? You cannot have it both ways, you see ; If you want me/anyone else to refrain from posting news about Terrorism, lawlessness or duplicity then you got to follow that principle first. This is a forum that...

What is the message of Islam ? Isnt peace, tolerance and humanity the sole message that...
I have never understood this, why does any religion have to enforce that he/she/it is the last messenger of God ? Why is Islamic principles on the same so rigid to the extent of being intolerant on this matter ? Every miracle we see in this world is by God's will. This means that every occurence...

I knew you cannot refrain from bringing India in, but do it in threads meant specifically where you already have schadenfreude. Bringing India to a Pakistan-centric bucket list of problems does not make away with Pakistan's problem list. Post reported for unnecessary diversion from topic.
The problem is not merely moping about it, but working on the root cause of every problem that Pakistan is facing. What are the people doing about the daily bombs going off ? What are people doing about Loadshedding ? What are people doing about incidents that leads to a public suicide in front...
^^^ Maybe TruthSeeker can tell me ; I thought that SW was cleared of the Taliban recently ; Yet HVTs flit in and out like its happy hour at the cat house. What is really going on in there ? Or was the PA surge a mere hogwash meant for public consumption ?
