if this policy will take Indonesia away from being an agrarian society which is causing deforestation of its rainforest and large forest fires, then it's definitely a good idea. Indonesia and Malaysia need to wean themselves off of palm oil.

One thing at a time. Pakistan has to start from somewhere. First let others leave, then Pakistan can and will deal with other issues later. Agreed, Islam is inseparable from Pakistan. Moment you take that out, country will split. From 1947 until 1973 constitution, secularism was in full effect...

To arrange a honorable exit for someone next door. In doing so, Pakistan is seeking extract maximum benefits, mostly economic, maybe even military. Even if it doesn't get any economic aid and trade advantages, it will still benefit from increased stability when Indian loses its ability to spread...

I wanted to go, but ticket site said no spaces left. Plus, it's really hot.

It's amazing, how despite taking a low profile commercial flight, Imran Khan commands a lot of respect and 20,000 Pakistani's have filled a stadium in US capitol just to meet him. On the other hand, previous leaders took entire aircraft, yet hardly any Pakistani would come to meet them, let...

Since you have mentioned this, maybe you should let us know what is going on. I can't resist a good story when one dangles it in front of me.

How many people in this country are sadiq and ameen? FBR's breakdown of filers and non-filers will tell you a lot. Almost every Pakistani considers himself to be "ghareeb awam". As for Darwinism, I will have more sympathy when people stop cheating, deceiving, lying, stealing, practicing...

I'm liking this Shabbar Zaidi guy, his bluntness in implementing economic documentation is really hardcore. If people are kicking, screaming, throwing a fit, it can only mean you are doing something right.

Quantity of exports are increasing. That is not surprising since the rupee has been devalued, making Pakistani products cheaper against their competition. Also, US-China trade war will push manufacturers to move production out of China, which can potentially benefit Pakistan.

Yes, agreed. Unless Pakistan develops its own in-house ability to mine natural resources, it's going to be get short-changed. people were celebrating when the Chinese took over some of these deposits at rock bottom prices. It's so criminal seeing this, it's literally like they are taking candy...

I wonder what these people would have done if they lived at the early period of Islamic Khilafah? All the Khulafaah collected zakat, very similar to how government's collect tax. Those who resisted without reason, as you probably know, were taught a lesson. without taxes, Pakistan will be...

I'm sure we all feel the same way you do. However, the problem is the Pakistan is simply too weak to do anything about it. If this was China, you can bet that they would have been able to arm-twist this company, the international court they used, and whatever international organization necessary...
