A question for Pakistanis: In case of war between Iran and Saudia which one should Pakistan support?

[Genghis khan1]

When two group of believers start fighting as Muslims we should try to establish a truce between them

Actually Quran says, when two believers fight, and one is transgressing than fight against the transgressor.

Heard it few days ago.

If you seek the answer that we will invade Saudi Arabia and the GCC then that's not gonna happen..
.

First of all how will you invade Arabia or how will Arabia invade Iran. Both don't have impressive naval forces that cab ensure strong deployment and would require a land route for very quick deployment. Would Iraq aid Iran in providing bases for attack ? If so then Arabia and gcc would be at war with Iran and Iraq. Well lets put the technicalities aside... The question is different.

We would remain neutral while berating the aggressor with of course taking it easy with Saudis Arabia who are our immediate ally. Of course this war won't last long and there will be no major take overs of terrirotry bcz USA and EUROPE will intervene very quickly .. Despite their reservations on Saudi Arabia, they are their strongest ally in middle east and work on their whims. They will protect the family and the monarchy which means Iran will be told to stop and may even be threatened of military intervention of it doesn't heed the warnings....

We will play the part of neutral mediator telling two child nations to quit their childishness and end the war and we may also be forced to defend the capital and the holy sites...


Iran can't be the aggressor bcz Its a war they can't win. They won't be able to annex land and SA oil economy will support them while iran has weak economy which will be shattered by war. they have strong military self reliance which is impressive to say the least and will help them and will blunt the economical hit of the war a little. Of Arabia starts to conquer iran territories then the world will support Arabia over iran and they may even get to annex a small area. That's just how the world is. Unfair.

However for GODs sake don't fight amongst each other. You would bring a calamity on the Muslim world as your proxy fighting is already bringing... Work together !!!! Or perish divided!!

 

[Genghis khan1]

Depends on what Pakistan gets in return...half of Iran perhaps? Enough to tempt Pakistan hit Iran from one side while Saudi Arabia led forces hit the other side. Since one poster mentions Iran conquering territories, why not from this perspective.

sorry to say but it is religion that make us different from you and we are diferent from you, our only history,culture,civlization is islam .

Except for Muhammad ibn Qasirn most of the recent rulers (Islamic) of Pakistan have been Turkic while ethnically the people are closer to Indo-Aryans, Indo-Iranians, Seleucids, Indo-Scythians, Kushans, Indo-Parthians. Certainly people of Pakistan do not have any ethic/cultural relationship with the Arabs (save few elites like Syeds, Khawajas and Shaikhs)

Why do you think Pakistanis are closer to Saudia than Persians or Turks if not to Indians?

Muhammad ibn Qasirn - Arab
Mahmud of Ghazni - Turkic
Muhammad Ghuri - Turkic
Ilbari - Turkic
Ala-ud-din Khalji - Turkic
Ghiyas-ud-din /Muhammad Tughluq - Turkic
Lodis - Afghans
Mughals - Central Asia/Mongolia

lol.....we love affiliate our self to people we think superior from us...its human nature. No doubt we are part of sub continent. Before 1948, arabs used to come India for labor job. Thanks to British they dug first oil well, then park the camel and ride the cars. Give you one more historical fact. Till last emperor of Indian Hyderbad Deccanm, a monthy useto give these Saudi Royals , five hundred rupee a month. Till 48 Nawab of Hyderabad used to take care of Hajjis in Mecca and Madina.....But, we are so unfortunate , we think ourselves so inferior.

Exactly. People who plan to bet on the Saudia horse should be prepared for a rude shock.

Pakistan should support KSA if it gets Chabhar Port in return

I was just daydreaming; what if Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan merge with Pakistan. The new Pakistan should be name United States of Pakistan, with KSA and Turkey among the few new neighbors of Pakistan. KSA, Turkey and China are all weather friends of Pakistan. USA will be in fix; surely dump India. No one has seen future; future may be full of surprises.

[bananarepublic]

rather then supporting KSA or IRAN we should support our country which is PAKISTAN.

 

[Bouncer]

Personally I'd like to stay neutral and hope that this doesn't cost us Pakistanis, the average Iranians and the average Saudis anything financially or politically. And a bonus would be the end of Saudi monarchy and Iranian theocracy and start of true democracies in these countries. A man can dream ..

 

[Asfandyar.Khan]

War, don't know, we can end both with out moving a corp, the rest of the world wont mind anyway, as long as we are not hitting Saudi/Iranian oil fields.

Iran, they have no leverage nor do they deserve sympathy since they sold Chabahar to India and is also inviting Northern Alliance leaders there. not to mention how they threw AQ Khan under the bus. If they cant stop working with our enemies against us they shouldn't ask us too, when we never did and wont do even if we join the Saudi coalition.

Now the Saudis, they have dug their own grave and deserve whats coming to them, they have always funded extremists here, but unfortunately that means the land Of Holy mosques may turn into war zone, where millions perform Hajj and where millions of Pakistanis live and work, we sent a plane or two to Yemen, but million? not possible. 2nd ISIS is already in Nangarhar and having Intel about its supply networks, training with allied countries and diplomatic support wont hurt so at least we should join the coalition.(as long as its not against other countries)

Pakistan should side with an old Ally that isn't in bed with our enemies, in this case both are, But if i had to make a decision i would go with Saudis, who are in bed with our 2nd biggest enemies.

But our relations with Arabs and even with muslims of Africa are stronger than all above you mention......IDK what kind of relations our Government have with Their government but for us they are like brothers.....We have everything common but as far as hindus of subcontinent are concerned we both are different nations with differnt culture,history,and everything

 

[oFFbEAT]

Stop it Indians for God's sake! The question is for Pakistanis.....
