A kaffir has killed two innocent momins in the land dreaming to become Medinite and now demanded the treatment reserved for favourite son i n law. Is this the most powerful Islamist nation on earth? :mrgreen:

^ For all the external bravado...... internal gubo onlee.
Pakistan seeks to ease rift over U.S. prisoner
Pakistan warned Saturday it would be "extremely counter-productive" if ties with the United States were to be harmed by the case of an American held in a Pakistani jail and accused of murder.
"Our effort, and I must say emphatically, is that this incident in Lahore is not blown out of proportion," Pakistani Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told reporters.
"It will be extremely counterproductive if one incident or one person ... destroys a relationship of 60 years. It is simply unthinkable."

The game is obvious. Davis will be released after the hoopla dies down. US has let TSP blow some steam. I won't be surprised if Davis is being given royal treatment, with Paasha himself serving him beer followed by Kiyani serving him cucumber & mutton sandwiches wearing spick and span 5-star waiter uniform with starched white gloves :-). (I recall R-man using a similar line to describe TSPA guboing to westerners. Hope all is well with R-man, Haven't seen him here for while).

Why take anything the Paki Nation says at face value. AFAICC, they are just trying to whip up sentiment against Davis.

Here in this video from last year, he is wailing and railing at Prof. Walter Mead. All because Prof. Mead says that there is no equal-equal anymore for the Pakis with India.

If people like Mead do make policy, Mallick shot himself in the foot.
This vid was posted here last year by some guru, I remember seeing it then.

I think this video and the general pakistani behaviour has been to loudly cry wolf because they see the inevitable happening - the US sort of 'winding up' its relationship with Pakistan and re-engaging with India. The pakistanis loudly cry out that the US is getting ready to abandon Pakistan once again, and the reference is to the taliban and Al-Qaida terror that happened the last time the US abandoned pakistan.
This crying wolf game worked for a while, and it would have worked for some more time, except for the fact that the pakistanis have been greedy and their sliminess stands exposed today.

Increasingly western writers editorials sound more like they have been written by a BRFite. :twisted:

Looks like the lawhore court will release him. The next round of tamasha will happen when Raymond Davis is released and handed back to the US authorities.

Then the finger pointing will begin in rightful earnest.

This has the potential of another Lal Masjid type iconic event.

Eventually this tamasha is about to reach its climax, and then we'll have to wait for the next tamasha that the Pakistanis have lined up for us here.

Qadri not only is an active participant here, reciting the naat, but it seems he got motivated big time by this.

Given that in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan a maximum of 4 wives are permitted and that the penalty for adultery is stoning to death, does this mean the last 3 “wives” along with the “husband” needs to be stoned to death ?:

Shouldn't that be Septa-gamist hain ji?

BTW the law in Pakistan has a spoiler for the abduls.
The first wife and all subsequent wifes need to sign on a paper agreeing to the hubby's marriage to the next wife.

A pakistani mard can be married to only 4 at a time.

I wonder if this is why the abduls are so eager for Sharia law. Then they can remove that nagging clause from the marriage laws, and also bring in the right hand and left hand possession thingie.

US pulls out of Pakistan meeting
The US has postponed a meeting with Pakistani officials in Washington amid an escalating dispute over the fate of Raymond Davis, an American embassy official who shot dead two men.

The Obama administration is placing mounting pressure on Pakistan to free Mr Davis, on the grounds that embassy staff are entitled to diplomatic immunity. Pakistan’s government has said the courts must decide his status

On January 27, 2011, a member of the US Embassy, designated as a technical officer, was intercepted on a busy intersection in Lahore by alleged robbers. Raymond Davis, trained to cope with such situations, did what any other western diplomat would have done. He shot and killed the two men, sparking widespread anger within Pakistan.

Readers will have heard that recently a certain minister fumbled as he recited an ayat at a public occasion. Our mole reports that soon afterwards, the same minister memorized the entire text and came out of his house, assembled all his commando guards and recited it loudly, clearly and repeatedly, leaving no room for doubt.

Friedman in the NYT - the meme of Pakistan as a dead end grows -
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/13/opini ... edman.html
Ever since this revolt started, America, Israel and Saudi Arabia seemed to hope that there were two choices here — one called “stability” that would somehow involve Mubarak, and the other called “instability,” which was to be avoided. Well, let me put this as plainly as possible: Here in Egypt, stability has left the building. For which I say: good riddance. Or as Ahmed Zewail, the Egyptian-American Nobel Prize-winning chemist, put it to me: Egypt was stable these past 30 years because it had no vision, no aspiration and was “stagnating.” That kind of stability couldn’t last.

That’s why today Egypt has before it only two paths, and both are unstable. One is where this democracy movement falters and Egypt turns into an angry Pakistan, as it was under the generals. And the other is the necessarily unstable, up and down transition to democracy, which ends stably with Egypt looking like Indonesia or South Africa.

The difference is that the foreign policy snakes like Tom Friedman are quite content with an angry TSP under their generals terrorizsing us SDREs, as that is "stability" in the US empire scheme of things, while angry Egyptians under their generals even lifting a finger against Israel will invite Iraq-style retribution. Since Tom Friedman won't tell you that, I have to shoulder that burden.

Are you even familiar with Pakis, hain ji? What makes you think this compulsive liar, moron, goon, loudmouth, scoundrel, nobrainer, bonehead, psychopath piece of $h!t won't be replaced by another compulsive liar, moron, goon, loudmouth, scoundrel, nobrainer, bonehead, psychopath piece of $h!t? I think the eternal hope amongst our supine GoI that the Pakis will suddenly become civilized is what gives the Pakis the leeway to keep blasting innocent Indians to kingdom come, without retribution.

More on the Pakistan meme: The title is what is of interest:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree ... ial-africa
"Is this Pakistanism in Sudan?"
Most of Africa's separatist movements since independence have consisted of ethnic rather than religious groups trying to secede. In the 1950s Kwame Nkrumah was afraid of what he called "Pakistanism" – partition on religious grounds. African nationalists disapproved of the partition of British India as a solution to Hindu-Muslim tensions.

Thanks for doing the lonely and thankless job of shouldering burdens.

The point is not Thomas Friedman's often nonsensical views - flattened earth and such - but the advancement of the meme as Pakistan as a negative.

Acid attack on boy who 'refused sex with Muslim cleric

On his hospital bed last week, 16-year-old Abid Tanoli sat listless and alone, half of his body covered by burns that all but destroyed both his eyes and left his face horribly disfigured.
The teenager talked, with difficulty, of how his life had been destroyed since the fateful day in June 2002 when he refused to have sex with his teacher at a religious school in Pakistan.
The boy was horrifically injured in an acid attack after he rebuffed the Muslim cleric's sexual advances. Now, he has alarmed Pakistan's powerful religious establishment by pressing charges against his alleged assailants.
A teacher at the school, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and two of his friends are in prison awaiting trial for attempted murder and rape. All three deny the charges. A fourth alleged attacker is still at large.
It is the first such case to be brought against a Muslim cleric and threatens to expose a scandal of sex abuse within Pakistan's secretive Islamic schools.
Abid was blinded and maimed in the assault, which he says came shortly after he rejected sexual demands from the Islamic teacher at a madrassa in a crowded, lower middle-class district of Karachi. "He threatened to ruin me for life," Abid recalled, "but I didn't take him seriously. I just stopped going to the madrassa".
Abid, who was 14 at the time, told neither parents nor friends what had happened because, he said, he was ashamed. A few days later, as he played with his brothers and sister at home, he said that his religious teacher - accompanied by three associates - broke into the house, bolted the door and threw acid over him, screaming: "This should be a lesson for your life."
Abid was taken to a public hospital, where doctors told him that he would be scarred for life.
Lawyers and campaigners against sexual abuse of children say that it is not uncommon in Pakistan, especially in the segregated surroundings of the country's estimated 20,000 religious schools, but cases involving members of the clergy are rarely - if ever - exposed.
"They are either hushed up and sorted out within the confines of school, or parents are pressurised not to report the incident to the media as it would give religion a bad name," said Zia Ahmed Awan, the president of Madadgaar, a joint project of LHRLA (Lawyers for Human Rights and Legal Aid) and Unicef, the United Nations children's fund.
Haroon Tanoli, Abid's father, met strong resistance when he tried to take up his son's case with officials at the school. He says that they offered to help him secure a cash payment from the alleged attackers, provided that he did not involve the police. Since then, he has been threatened with harsh consequences for refusing to back down.
"I despise hypocrites who sport huge beards in the name of religion and hinder the passage of justice in the name of Islam," said Mr Tanoli.
"I had a beard, and all my four sons were studying in a madrassa. However, following this incident, the first thing I did was to pull my children out of the madrassa - and shave off my beard."
Even as Abid was receiving treatment, the religious authorities pressed the hospital to discharge him. Mr Tanoli managed to get him admitted to a different hospital, where he is being treated free, although the family cannot afford an operation to save his sight.
Mr Tanoli refuses to back down, despite being offered one million rupees (£12,000) by the teacher's relations if he withdraws the charges. He has moved to a secret location for his own safety.

Amercia has given me a lot and taught me a lot, as did India. And one of the things is that when it comes to real life, self interest matters first & foremost. To that end, I would not be ecstatic just berating US. Berating US for their policies towards India, yes, of course, that would be welcome, assuming of course, it would have an effect. But what the f%^ck has the Davis affair got to do with India US relations, at least officially?

Lisa Curtis, the American on that show with Arnab, is one of the few American foreign policy elites who understands that TSP paranoia visa vi India has nothing to do with a non-existant offesnive intent on India's part, rather, it has got to do with destroying India. She must be wondering what a bunch of stockholm-syndrom afflcited dudes these SDREs are. Why are they wasting their time berating US, especially if an aggressive stance from US might weaken TSP a bit, and which could be benefitial to India.

On this Davis affair, whatever Arnab feels, the least he can do is keep his loud mouth shut and enjoy the show. TSP terrorist generals sitting in GHQ, Rawilpindi, are not going to be impressed with the powerless, toothless, argumentative SDREs coming to their aid. If anything, it breeds more contempt.
