Inside Story - Political Turmoil in Pakistan - Feb 26 - Part 1

The Pakistani Supreme Court barred Nawaz Sharif, a former prime minister and an opposition leader and his brother Shahbaz from holding elected office. Pakistan now faces the prospect of rampant political infighting that will further undermine the country's stability.

Why should that be an American or Israeli goal? I'm not saying your wrong, I do believe the US wants to have more influence in Pakistan. But the nukes are in military control. I think Pakistan would have to openly work with taliban fighters and openly support terrorism for the US to justify going into Pakistan. Which might not be too far off considering the deal made with the Swat region warlords. But a war in Pakistan seems strategically impossible. Thats a whole other ball game.

I think u get me wrong here, i agree with you, Israel doesn't want any Muslim country to be modernized to western standards. I'm actually in the camp believing the mumbai attacks were planned and executed by mosad intelligence to wreck pakistan indian relations. My only disagreement would be that american public wouldn't go for another war, especially in pakistan. But obama's first ordered deaths in his pres was airstriked in pakistan, maybe the pub would go for it in a terrorist attack happened

Qur'an,Surah 24,orders Mullah2flog man&woman if there is a Male Paki Muslim witness that they had illegal sex;it also mentionsAllah forgives if they stop fucking.Prophet Mohammad(pbuh) mentioned in Hadis that father should flog mother&daughter because he owns them both&it is mothers duty2raise dauhter. Father&son must make vidoes of the flogging &then they should flog each other's logs. Marrying is not a good solution because once you have children you cannot fuck in front of them.Insha'Allah.

In a large country like India, few incidents have happened and its all forgotten here. Only outsiders like you remember them. People of India have made peace and moved on.

Dear David, you could not have been more worng, India is very strong and growing, while all its neighbours seems to be whithering away, India seems poised to expand and prosper.

Reading some comments by Pakistanis on this page, it's clear to me why Pakistan has become a failed country.

While their country hangs on the cusp of disaster, Pakistanis still seem to be fixated on India & keep believing in the falsehoods which have been fed to them since birth.

If believing that India has the same problems as Pakistan, helps Pakistanis sleep better at night, good for them but the reality is quite different. Unfortunately, by the time they realize, it'll be too late!

to set records straight, about 4000 Sikhs were murdered. As much as I condemn it, and 4000 is a huge number, lets not exaggerate and say 10 000's.

I myself am a Muslim, and I know what Muslims have gone through in India. But I myself can also see the change coming about in India. The only threat to this peace between Hindus & Muslims is Hindutva groups.

As for Pakistan, I'm sure you know about blasphemy law, the state of christians & hindus in pak is also dismal.

both shud wake up now

Obviously I did not say that Pakistan does not have internal political problems. The point is that Pakistan is mostly the same in terms of religion. India is not. And it's not a country that has proven itself stable socially. You're not going to see tens of thousands of sikhs slaughtered like you saw in India some years ago. Both countries are extremely vulnerable, just in different ways.
