Pakistani culture has degraded into lies, violence and paranoi. Do Indian extremist come to Lahore and blow up people and hotels? Do Indian extremists attack Pakistanis? Reality is that Pakistanis treat non-muslim lives as worthless and have a distorted victim mentality even though their country is the most murderous in the world.

Have fun indians! you don't know what we are capable of! Insha'Allah we'll prove to be a great nation when the right time comes... We can just hope for peace for Pakistan and India... thats the difference in our thinking :) Why do you people ignore the facts behind the terrorism going on in the world? please open your minds and think logically and research on such issue and come to know the core reasons behind all these stuff. May be its a third party responsible for the terrorism globally...

[harj2009]

@TimeGod12 you obviously didnt read the part where I say like 10 times pakistan no longer supports the taliban and has captured hundreds of al qaeda

your neocon supremacist bullshit is b-o-r-i-n-g, no body believes any of the cias bullshit attempt to make pakistan the cambodia of the vietnam war. You are such an idiot if you think any pakistan public money goes to taliban

anyway what you think is not important.the global community my arse just some has been empires and us of KKK

[harj2009]

@TimeGod12 There are plenty of people who spin the neocon lie it doenst matter if he is pakistani or non pakistan.Plenty of American understand how the system works.

pakistan like America,Egypt and Saudi Arabia helped create the taliban , Bin Laden was a key CIA asset. If Bin Laden went rouge america is as much to blame as everyone else. Al Qaeda and Mujahideen are two parallel organisation. The Taliban run afghanistan , al qaeda just use it as a safe haven

[TimeGod12]

@harj2009 Read the statements given by Tahaweer Rana(Pakistani Canadian) about how Pakistan government supports exporting terrorists across the world.

Al-Qaeda are descendants of Mujahideen and guess who nurtured Mujahideen. The Pakistanis did.

You can spout your pro-pakistani nonsense but the global community has all the evidence that points out that Pakistan government and army supports and funds terrorism.

[harj2009]

@TimeGod12 just a few months ago the Sri Lanka pm said india was helping Tamil Tigers. Al Qaeda has nothing to do with pak and they are not pakistani. none of 9/11 bombers were pakistani, al qaeda has declared war against pakistan. how fucking dumb ur statement ?? do u know how many civilians die in terror attack we dont support Al Qaeda. Pakistan Interest is not to have indian proxy govt in afghanistan.iran likes india more than pak get ur facts straight

[TimeGod12]

@harj2009 India has learnt its lessons, Pakistan has NOT.

Why would Pakistan fight its own people. Al Qaeda has alot of Pakistani people in their organization?

The only regional interest Pakistan has is to sell nuclear weapons to Iran, North Korea and destroy democratic India with nukes.
