I don't think the Islamic empire did. Look at our history. Muslims have lived and co-existed peacefully with every other group, Christian groups(especially Arab Christian) have lived in Muslim lands for over a millennium. Just about the only place the Jews weren't prosecuted, were Muslim...

Educate yourself. Watch "The Truth about Democracy", and "The War on Democracy", they're amazing documentaries that analyze the effect democracy has had on the world. Democracy is a failure in the US and UK, and this can logically be proven for a fact. Elections are funded by interest-groups...

What's the reason for democracy's failure in the US, UK, so many other countries and of-course, India? Brings out leaders like Bush and Obama in the US. Folks can protest all they want - TWO MILLION brits came out to protest when the UK govt took them to war on fabricated charges. Didn't...

You have to be patient, I think he is right to wait. When Nawaz Sharif was removed in 1999, a majority of the people(80% according to international polls, if I'm not mistaken) supported his removal. He was trying to go further in grabbing power than any military dictator had ever gone...

Turkey should project it's point-of-view on the Armenian genocide more vigourously. One of my favorite English writers, M. Marmaduke Pickthall, spent alot of time in Ottoman Turkey(both during and before&after WW1), and he spent alot of time and effort trying to show people that the Armenian...

Zaid Hamid: I have done over a thousand shows. Show me ONE thing that I have said, that was anti-Islam, anti-Pakistan, or in any way against our cultural ethos. Zaid Hamid with Faisal Rehman on Waqt News program Hot Line 11 July 2012 - YouTube Same thing reflected on this forum. People...

It's nice to see the Indian govt take their time and make sure everything is in order. Rushing in situations like these can raise many eyebrows and questions later on.

Have any details about the aircraft's capabilities come out yet - it would not be unreasonable to expect this to be just as capable as the J-11B?

That is a sizable and impressive inventory. All US-origin though. It was recently reported how Turkish F-16s were finally capable of targeting Israeli aircraft, after Turkey successfully designed and developed their own IFF(Identify Friend/Foe) devices. Even if just for deterrent purposes...

Here's the StrategyCenter link. I'd you look through earlier posts in this thread you may find that I'd posted the link previously as well: International Assessment and Strategy Center > Research > Report from the 2010 Chinese Defense Electronics Exhibition (CIDEX): Growing Industry &#8211...

@yogi Look at what I precisely said. I said that the overall design and fighter class, the J-10B is CLOSER to the Euro-canards than to an F-16. Despite being single-engined, the J-10 is a large delta-wing aircraft. The Chinese have alot more $, and they can spend more on R&D than the...

F-16 Block 60 hasn't fought any battles and it's equipment and avionics have not, in fact, been tested in battlefield conditions for decades. J-10 is more in the class of the Euro-canard fighters, it's overall delta wing design, size and payload capacity are closer to the Eurofighter or the...

StrategyCenter is a widely recognised American military think-tank organization based in Virginia, US. This is not a Pakistani source. It is good to research before making silly accusations. Even a cursory look at the link would have shown you muliple quotes by Russian engineers and...

I'll ask again. What specifically has Zaid Sahab said or done to "suicide bomb" Allama Iqbal's poetry as you put it? Can you give us one single example? I've seen every episode of his two series on Iqbal(one on News One, other on Aaj TV), I found them to be unbelievably inspiring and...

I'd say Bangladesh should go for ZDK-03 type AWACS(they're now called AEW - Airborne Early Warning) platforms, if AWACS/AEW is needed. They cost less than western radars, and often out-perform their western counterparts. For example, Pakistan operates both Swedish Erieye AWACS as well as...

PAF's getting 250 JF-17s, Block 1 production has pretty much finished, Block 2 is supposed to be delivered this year. Each block offers newer hardware, improved hardware, etc. In the end, the total number might go up or down depending on factors like how China's J-21/J-2x program comes along and...

India makes this big media fuss over this "dossier of evidence" that they claim to have(and ask Pakistan to "take action" without even showing the evidence), Pakistan actually had to pressure India to get that, India kept postponing the dates. And when they finally did provide the dossier, it...

Americans gave a CFM-56 engine to the Chinese in the 80's when their relationship was good - all was rosy and China was good back then, and all these Afghans were noble heroes for defending their homeland against foreign invaders. Since then, when news started trickling out that China has...

^^ Calm down man. For someone claiming Zaid Sahab is a joke to Indians, you sound worked up enough to have a mental stroke. About Mumbai. If you were really interested in finding the truth, do some research. India's dossier was ridiculed internationally, BBC carried stories about how...
