Arabs slam Pak stand on Yemen and Call on Pakistani Parliament to Fall in Line

[A1Kaid]

This shows what is the value of Pakistan in Arabs eyes.Yesterday UAE and today some Arab parliamentarian have almost threatened Pakistan for not fighting their war.That is why we should never depend on others for our survival.A man with self respect would rather die than holding out hands in front of others and later be dictated and treated as slave by the person who throws him crumbs.

This should not be taken as what all Arabs think, or what all Arab leaders think, or reflection of policy of entire Arab countries. This is just vocal discontent that they are "disappointed", "shocked", etc. Pakistan set a precedent by being the first country to say no and claim neutrality.

As far as Pakistan's relations with KSA they will remain unhindered.

They can't do anything but bark at this point. Pakistani parliament unanimously voted for neutrality in Yemen conflict, they should learn to respect the decision.

They dont associate that word with us.

 

[Umair Nawaz]

Debatable. Highly debatable. They're economically stronger and Turkey's conventional forces are slightly larger, but they don't have Nukes. Not so huge of a margin.
Any way, there's no point in this 'strongest Muslim country' title, it doesn't mean anything if countries don't take initiative.

u sure about this?

u sure about this?

Yes.
Just take their Tank fleet for example,

• Leopard 1 : 397
• Leopard 2 : 354
• M60 Patton : 1,646
• M48 Patton : 1,377
• Altay : 4 (prototypes)
• TOTAL: 3778

Source: Turkey - Major Army Equipment
Pakistan, on the other hand, has only about 3000 .

Similarly, Turkey has more Aircraft, more IFVs and more MLRS's. They do, after all, have a much bigger military budget.

Also, as @waz said, their navy is a lot larger.

Pakistan has more active military personnel though. (617,000 as compared to Turkey's 410,500)
World Military Strength Comparison
The figures from here are generally reliable, though I still cross-checked them with other sources.

I admit I should've been more specific by what I meant by that but I felt it'd be better not to because it was off topic.

sohnaio, only more tanks Artillery or technology dont matter its the man behind a machine matters and for that u need ultra high training which comes from experience in war fighting. In that category we stand with the elites of world like USA and Israel. As these both maintain some of the uniqly high training standards which comes from learning the experiences they have. Same is case with us as well.

plus in Tank production we have beaten them. As well as in intelligence dep well we are up with the best.

They were saying similar things to the Americans not so long ago - they didn't give half a damn. We just make a bigger deal out of it than it really is.

Their bark is a lot more than their bite; they depend on Pakistan for a lot of things, and Pakistani forces have been training theirs and giving them much needed intelligence support. They won't risk losing that. If anything, these statements are directed at the politicians, but they won't be able to change anything. The public is against it and the military is against it.

Sorry, Arab leaders, but the collective Pakistani nation of 190 Million has told you to go to Hell. We'll support the Arab people and help defend them if there's that serious of a threat, but we're not fighting on Yemeni soil as part of the same failed strategy that created the mess in Syria. We prefer peace, and you should too. (addressed to the Arabs 'slamming' our decision)

 

[flameboard]

The Arabs are disrespectful to Pakistan all the time. When was the last time they joined Pakistan's wars to win Kashmir? Recently you barely see any support, you might get some diplomatic jargon which isn't supposed to account to much, but they've just stopped caring. They do next to nothing for Palestine, they throw scraps here and there, but nothing when it comes to bigger issues, the UAE has started accommodating Israel. There is no Arab or Muslim bond for the countries involved only Al Saud hedgemony

Sir jee I never said Turkish force were better than Pakistan. I said they were larger. I was actually arguing the exact opposite, that Pakistan's professional soldiers are a lot more capable than Turkey's conscripts and that our nuclear deterrents make our force more formidable that the Turks'.

That was in response to @tsinga , who said:

Um. No you're not. Not even close. Turkey is [the strongest Muslim country]...by a huge margin.

No offence, but please read posts more carefully before you lecture me about what I already know.

 

[WAQAS119]

These Arabs are mentally ill.

 

[SrNair]

What kind of language is that from Arab offical ?
Pakistan is a sovreign nation and this is a a decision of their Parliament .Arabs should respect that.

 

[T-123456]

Slowly but surely the truth is coming out.

All these countries have done nothing but use Pakistan in the past. Where were these "friends" when Pakistan was embroiled in daily bombings and losing innocent civilians? That's right, nowhere to be found.

It's time for us to stand up and look out for ourselves and I'm glad our establishment and political leadership is showing some backbone. We are the strongest Muslim country in the world and we need to lead from the front instead of being the arabs lap dogs.

You need history lessons(about who helped you when and where) and cool down a bit,nobody cares who is the strongest Muslims country in the world.

Get back to reality,men dont matter anymore and about training,you have better training then NATO?
Its not a competition,just relax,you are better ok,feeling good?

i didnt mean any disrespect i was merely stating the obvious war fighting experience.

 

[Daneshmand]

This is truly pathetic. That's the second high ranking Arab official talking down to Pakistanis as if we're their door man or something.

Indeed it is pathetic. No excuse can justify this kind of behavior. Even when Turkish parliament in 2003 voted against becoming allied with US to invade Iraq, the US never issued any statement except saying, it respected the Turkish parliament's decision. These guys think of themselves being even superior than US when it comes to Pakistan. This was a good lesson for them.
