Interesting post.

We really do learn something new everyday.

Today i learned that Omar Khayyam, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmī (the father of Algebra) and Ibn Seena (Avicenna in Greek) were all Persians and not Arabs.

PS if you are a christian then you really dont have to bother at all... islam permits us muslims to marry christians.... I thought that was applicable only to the men as with Christianity, the religion passes down with the father. So unless the father converts to the faith ( be it Christianity or I...

RVP - the quote at the beginning of your post was not from me. You are right - Islam permits muslim men to marry women from amongst the 'people of the book' - i.e. Jews and Christians. Muslim women must marry muslim men. I haven't read the recent posts, but saw my name in your reply.. Cheers, Shafi...

Attempts to kill leaders/politicians is common in SE Asia.

Unfortunately they got her this time after many attempts.

Agree with Ian. There have been groups trying to kill Bhutto(father and daughter) long before al qaeda , but i guess blaming al qaeda is the easy way out. If anyone gains, its Musharraf... with Nawaz Shariff also out of the way he continues his rule. Im not so sure things will get worse in that coun...

Sad.. that country is gone crackers..thanks to religious fundamentalism. I take a completely different viewpoint. That region has seen much more hardline religious days under certain moghuls. The current situation, is made worse by the fact that Pakistans military has been in rule or held huge infl...

1. once she was in power she would hand over the Nuclear bomb to Nato 2. Nato would control the borders of Pakistan. 3. She would hand over Abdul Qadeer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Qadeer_Khan) to CIA and FBI who would question him about his doings. If they did this he will tell them how AL...

I know you are not Indian, was being sarcastic :-) I think you may have misunderstood my point. The military is the greatest beneficiary of Bhutto's death, coupled wih alienating Nawaz sharrif...

Pakistan always had huge religious influence in its national policies. The main reasons for the seperation and formation of the country itself was the religion. While the separation from the British Raj borders of defined India was based on religious lines, it was quickly established that religion ...

Quite an interesting post RVP. For eg, the Military still owns a large chunk of Vietnam, China, Russia and the list goes on. Military empowerment = communism. Although I dont disagree with military regime, you do need a pro business leader for prosperity. I believe a civilian body is vital, if only...

Hmmm interesting debate. Who's done worse for Iraq, Saddam or Bush? Hard to compare isnt it? No one really knows how many died under Saddam, whether far fewer than the war propganda pre invasion, or far more. No one really knows how many have died since the US led invasion, after all... they do not ...

I know man, took me I while. I just couldn´t imagine people prefering Taliban, but I think they do. Dutch people didn´t mind Americans, Brits, Canadinians or Pols on their soil when they liberated us from the nazi´s. Firstly, i respect you for publicly stating you have changed your mind. Regarding ...
