^^^^^ I was not thinking of PAKI as a name for the thread - hence the 'OT'! Re it being perjorative, Paki is just a convenient short form of Pakistani just like Brit is of British or Aussie of Australian. AFAIK it has become perjorative in the UK because of their actions - general deceit and agression - much much before this recent instalment of terror started, and then this connotation spread a bit to continental europe. Ive heard it used casually in the Middle East by Arabs and several other countries. Members of the UK royal family have used it. Its just a linguistic convenience - really no big deal.

If one of the reasons for not using Kabila is that it is not an English word, can consider using Cabal instead.
Cabal wiki
Cabal seems to be derived from 'Kaballah' (a word that has numerous spelling variations), per wiki which I would guess is the same as Kabila.

'Terrorist Islamic Cabal of Pakistan' or something to that effect.
Just another option.

Just like there are Zodiac signs, one should give each TSP Thread its added adjective at the end of the tile, e.g.

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Beggarstan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Entitlestan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Radiocativestan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Mullahstan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Talibanistan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Perfidystan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Failurestan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Madrassastan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Rapestan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Kabilastan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Jihadistan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Suicidestan

Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Crookistan

Or one can have people giving ideas on this thread, which nishaan they would like to give TSP for the upcoming thread.
