Salifi-Wahabbist ??????

There is no Salifi-Wahabbist word in Islamic religion.

may you mean Sunnah in Saudi Arabia and around it or Shiya'ah in Iran , Iraq and some of Lebanon.

In Addtion Sunni Muslims are the most doctrine in Islamic religion.

And you have to know the shiya'ah called the Saudis Salifi-Wahabbist , that to separate between Saudis and other Sunni Muslims for make a problem between them.

Getting close to KSA is like dining with the devil -- You need a long spoon!

KSA always wants to give "gifts" of mosques and madrassas. However, those "gifts" are Trojan horses; because the madrassas indoctrinate the children with Salifi-Wahabbist beliefs. They also interfere in the local governments

The divisions in Pakistan are because of Salifi-Wahabbist "gifts"

The true reason for the "gifts" is to spread the Salifi-Wahabbist brand of Islam world-wide.

@Nusrat5791

i suggest u read more about the pakistan nuclear program, who funded it and what disclosed deals were made at that time... then u will understand what i am talking about

[Nusrat5791]

@binlootah11 nation states do not have strong or weak relationships only strong or weak interests -permanent interests, that is. saudis want to reduce their dependence on america for security, and given china's distance & "expansive" ambitions, only nation with a large military and power projection ability and geographical proximity is india. not to mention, the growing indian economy is already providing saudi state opportunity to invest money and sell oil.

pakistan is on way to disintegration.

@Nusrat5791 ya they know that zardari is shia, but the saudi - pakistani relationship is larger that zardari ..

[Nusrat5791]

india should use its size [purchasing power , army and power projection] to get closer to saudi arabia.

p.s. do the saudis know that zardari is a shia? just saying.

[MrJazzy1983]

@BoudiccaBlanc Saudi-Pakistan relations are at a chill since 2008 and with Zardari hobnobbing with the Iranians, they are pretty much on their last breaths.

The sanctions is an excuse, there are no UN sanction on iran for oil sales or payment recieved!
