Re: Endgame of NaPakistan: How and what afterwards

I think the Islamic society is changing and its being driven by the non-Arabo-Turkci world and that has consequences. In the Turco-Arab world, it's driven by the collapse of economic order. As the US retreats from the Arab world due to alternative oil supplies, we will see this accelerate. Islam wi...

Pakistan is the fortress of Islam and Islam is toxic for India. That is the bottom line. Break up no break up, Pakistan army, etc. Are just sideshows. I would say the core mission of Islam has been carefully preserved and continues on in India. In that sense Pakistan has succeeded.
