Same Indian chain of thought! No sense of how things work in politics. FYI, a dispute is solved by mutually agreeing to the solution not unilateraly and certainly no using 'machoism' as above, 'if you want a settlement, it should be on terms'; people in the higher echolons of power would disagree.
Lets just say, you need to revisit Jinnah's vision for Pakistan. It was to be a liberal democracy or at the very least a 'moderate' one! Not a fundamentalist, religious theocracy as the Mullahs who've hijacked Pakistan's ideology would have you believe!
Exactly! The Mullahs are reigning wild and free in the Frontier. They think they have some God given right to 'enforce' religion and religious morality but they forget that they themselves will be judged too!
I say Pakistan has got bigger issues to deal with than moral policing!
Hear the stories again! 'I was walking and I fell'. 'The guy who got shot in the face, after fourteen days opened his bandage and just walked out to find a carton of milk which we ATE'. My God! Spare us!
If the videos had 'any' authenticity I would've actually paid some heed to the content. Utter rubbish! They definitely could've done a better job; for example, let the 'injured' speak out their 'learned' lines slower and with more confidence! This is ridiculous!
So now we're judging who is a 'better' Muslim based on some criteria that you use? How is this not propaganda than what you criticize as propaganda?
You do not have any right given to you by a divine authority or a political one for that matter to decide who is 'better' since it is NOT up to...
Musharraf has lasted for so long because he is at heart a true Pakistani; a MODERATE! The extremist factions of society, the Mullahs and their illiterate followers with closed minds cannot bring him down! Sure, he hasnt been able to confront the MMA and that is his weakness. The army has once...
Sword9, you have got to be kidding me! If you want me to believe 'DNAINDIA' over 'BBC', that certainly isn't going to happen! Reality is, India has failed to mount an effective propaganda campaign maligning freedom fighters in addition to paying mercenaries to target civilians to give the...
Certainly NOT. I am not trying to enforce any forum specific rules. Online forum etiquettes are unwritten guidelines that a civilized debater should understand without any Mod having to tell him.
A sudden barrage of posts by you makes me wonder if you're high on caffeine?
Wouldn't it all be great if it was so simple? India? Superpower? Regional may be but even that would take atleast a century at the current rate. Yeah I know its a wet dream many Indians share; that the US somehow is going to confer a type of alliance on India that is just like what UK and US...
Have these been confirmed by an independant source? We just dont take things at face-value, even if the NEWS somehow managed to grab this list from a disgrunted tribal to sell more copies of their paper or have more 'hits' on their website.
First it would have to be established beyond doubt that it was in fact the LeT (which by the way is also banned in Pakistan now).
Yeah I've come across this before. As a compromise, I personally would favor the Scenario 6 but lets also keep in mind that most of them favor Pakistan as is...
The implication was not justification, rather that 'those who live in glass houses should not throw stones'.
Do you disagree with Mukti Bahini training camps that existed in India for the sole purpose of purpose of perpetrating terror? Or that Tamil Tigers were the creation of Indian...
While that may be true in some cases; India and China or India and Russia, or India and US can never have a 'strategic alliance' in the true meaning of the phrase since two large countries can ONLY co-exist in a strategic alliance when one of them does not have expansionist designs in the works...
You contradict yourself in your post. If you claim to be the largest democracy of the world, you must also learn to be patient and learn to lend a ear to the grievances of certain groups of people who certainly have not taken up arms against your government because they think its fun to do so...
Very interestingly put Niaz. I concur. See, the problem lies with the religious clergy. First they were against the formation of Pakistan and once it came in to being, since its inception, they have tried to hijack the ideology and turn Pakistan in to a theocratic state.
People of Pakistan...
