[marbella]

Selling troops for money???? can anyone stoop so low? is economical condition is that bad?

Translation: Pakistan won't be involved in proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

For practical purposes both India and Pakistan are loosely allied with Saudi Arabia

Let's see how long that posture lasts.

Come on now ... you took the same position when it came to the Saudis, Emiratis and their fellow GCC lackey's breathing fire and hyperventilating over Pakistan's decision to stay out of Yemen - that particular policy has stayed the same, has it not?

If Pakistan is unwilling to even deploy troops in Yemen and side with the Saudis in a perceived Saudi-Iran proxy war on 'third party soil', why would it choose to support any kind of direct confrontation with Iran as part of this 'Saudi Islamic Military Coalition'?

Pakistan can try to tread a fine line, but the mess is only going to grow and envelope regional bystanders too. It will take some time yet, but it will happen, IMO.

Pakistan is treading a fine line, and the bigger the geo-political mess becomes, the easier it becomes to continue treading that line.

The more Pakistan supports the Saudis, the more the Saudis will expect of Pakistan, especially in terms of uncontrolled Saudi activities in Pakistan and Saudi funds to groups in Pakistan. The less Pakistan supports the Saudis now, the less they will expect of Pakistan in the future.

I am sure the GHQ will take the decisions it thinks are necessary to take, or not, as the case may be, with regards to the evolving situation with SA.

The decisions taken in the Yemen situation are quite indicative of the preference on the part of GHQ to stay out of any direct Iran-Saudi confrontation.

Of course. Let's see how long the GHQ can play this game. There is no rush, it is still early days yet.

GHQ can play this game so long as the Saudi Royals need a Pakistani military cover against a hypothetical Iranian or Iranian backed military invasion on Saudi soil.

The latter is extremely unlikely to occur, but Saudi Royal paranoia about such an eventuality is just as unlikely to dissipate.

I wish the GHQ all the luck it needs. May Allah be with them.

Why Saudis and Iranian don't sit and solve the problems? Sectarian war is technically against the entire Islam. Even defeating ISIS without solving the problems between Iran and Saudi is completely absurd. These both are fueling this fire.

Because of the racial hatred, Iranic people can be civilised with Arabs but can never trust or work with them.

Shia, Sunni, Religion doesn't really matter as much it's a clash of the civilisations, Iranic vs Semites.

Wise move by Pakistan, finally we are growing some balls and thinking for ourselves.

Not racial hatred. Iran was sunni majority few hundred years ago till Turkic shia rulers converted them forcefully to shiasm.

Methods of converting Iran
Ismail consolidated his rule over the country and launched a thorough and at times brutal campaign to convert the majority Sunni population to Twelver Shiism and thus transform the religious landscape of Iran.[16] His methods of converting Iran included:

• Imposing Shiism as the state and mandatory religion for the whole nation and much forcible conversions of Iranian Sufi Sunnis to Shiism.[17][18][19]
• He reintroduced the Sadr (Arabic, leader) – an office that was responsible for supervising religious institutions and endowments. With a view to transforming Iran into a Shiite state, the Sadr was also assigned the task of disseminating Twelver doctrine.[20]
• He destroyed Sunni mosques. This was even noted by Tomé Pires, the Portuguese ambassador to China who visited Iran in 1511–12, who when referring to Ismail noted: "He (i.e. Ismail) reforms our churches, destroys the houses of all Moors who follow (the Sunnah of) Muhammad…"[21]
• He enforced the ritual and compulsory cursing of the first three Sunni Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman) as usurpers, from all mosques, disbanded Sunni Tariqahs and seized their assets, used state patronage to develop Shia shrines, institutions and religious art and imported Shia scholars to replace Sunni scholars.[22][23][24]
• He shed Sunni blood and destroyed and desecrated the graves and mosques of Sunnis. This caused the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II (who initially congratulated Ismail on his victories) to advise and ask the young monarch (in a “fatherly” manner) to stop the anti-Sunni actions. However, Ismail was strongly anti-Sunni, ignored the Sultan's warning, and continued to spread the Shia faith by the sword.[25][26]
• He persecuted, imprisoned and executed stubbornly resistant Sunnis.[27][28]
• With the establishment of Safavid rule, there was a very raucous and colourful, almost carnival-like holiday on 26 Dhu al-Hijjah (or alternatively, 9 Rabi' al-awwal) celebrating the murder of Caliph Umar. The highlight of the day was making an effigy of Umar to be cursed, insulted, and finally burned. However, as relations between Iran and Sunni countries improved, the holiday was no longer observed (at least officially).[29]
• In 1501 Ismail invited all the Shia living outside Iran to come to Iran and be assured of protection from the Sunni majority.[30]
