It was the eastern Roman empire which outlasted the western one and remained a formidable power for centuries. Byzantine empire was a term developed by historians to segregate this entity, however the eastern Roman empire was indeed a continuation of Rome. Nevertheless, there is no denying the...

We are seeing a different Gul now...great session for Pakistan and Gul. I hope Cheema is not seriously injured since he walked off mid over.

Finally Gul is trying to bowl faster but still not the same venom from him. Let us hope the wicket gives him confidence and rhythm. Cheema boy was unlucky not to get a wicket, me thinks Misbah should not have taken him off since he was getting on Cook's nerves. Hafeez has a golden arm but...

Adnan should not have run that single which exposed Rehman since Anderson is a great bowler and pitches it up...but that is inexperience i guess.... I think 150+ lead should be good but we have to keep bowling well. GUL Jee is sadly out of steam and seemed very ordinary, if he does not improve...

With poor leadership they lost a few battles as well despite having the faith, however the first Caliph quickly dismissed such commanders and assigned overall command to Khalid based on his military prowess and the rest is history. Also, the Arabs were not rag tag warriors who had no skill...

Why make a fool out of yourself by posting such childish rants if you are not even aware of who Khalid bin Waleed was? Just because he is the foremost Conqueror in the history of Islam should not mean Khalid can only be viewed through a green glass. His achievements are very real in terms of...

Not that i underestimate the power of faith, however that is not all that is required to be a great warrior/commander. Khalid bin Waleed had men under him, men who died like any other. It was his great courage, steely determination, sheer brilliance and unmatched skill which made him...

The reason why NRO has to be (and is being) dealt with before any other pending cases is not because it is against PPP. The NRO is a complete mockery of justice in its primary form, whether we go by any man made constitution upholding justice and fair play or the very strict directives of Allah...

The common Pakistanis do pay their taxes, it is a common misconception that the ordinary people have it easy. The income Tax has been increasing and the salaried class is really under pressure for quite some time now. However, the challenge remains to effectively Tax the huge landlord...

The Roman Legions were also highly organized and existed before advent of Islam, the legionnaires also earned land for their years in service. No doubt Hazrat Umar RA was one of the most gifted leaders in history in terms of his grasp of all affairs of the state. His biggest achievement was...

I hope the contracts for mining and extraction are negotiated most professionally so that maximum benefit goes to Afghanistan. I truly wish that this region becomes a Global Hub of trade and energy. If CARs, Russia, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, India and China can establish a network of...

The two lines in your single post...kind of disagree with each other. Just saying, maybe you need to stop mentioning Riaz with such intensity and frequency...it almost seems like you are obsessed with him. :cheers:

We need to check the TTP and use any strategy to do so. Whether we use dialogues to create differences between various groups or we only use the military approach, should be totally up to us. These wars are fought on many fronts and we should not hold ourselves ransom to any particular...

On a lighter note, I think the Chief must be singing "I don't need to try to control you / Look into my eyes and I'll own you / With the moves like Jagger / I got the moves like Jagger / I got the mooooooves like Jagger." ;)

Blasphemy case requires a judicial hearing in order to establish whether blasphemy was committed or not. If Taseer was guilty of Blasphemy then A) Case had to be registered by the so called great religious leaders (political Mullahs) who are now on streets in support of Qadri. IF the Mullahs...

Truthseeker, You have been a really nice contributor to this forum, great to see you as an opinionator. Congratulations!

Oh my goodness...That is a recipe for disaster. We have many fine people who have decades of relevant experience, no need to go ballistic.

So for Imran to deliver anything he must have 1000 Angels who should have popular support in the masses? I think we should be reasonable in our expectations. So far i have not seen any name which is strongly associated with corruption in Pakistan. The declaration of assets is a must for getting...

Anni Koam does not see any better option so far, feel free to give us a viable alternative... Criticism is another thing but what you are saying is gibberish to say the least, what proof do you have of Imran being a toy of establishment? Yet you are always repeating it again and again. For...

Nawaz Sharif owes his political career to the supreme dictator Zia Ul Haq who can be hailed as his "spiritual father". He used to lick Zia's boots just as Zia used to lick Bhutto's boots...i guess this trait both of them shared. I always get a kick out of it when he talks his tough anti...
