Bangladesh Shames Pakistan .

Why Pakistan skipped IPU Assembly
SALEEM SAMAD

t was predicted that Pakistan would stay away from participating at the ongoing 136th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in capital Dhaka. Pakistan, on Friday last announced to boycott of the mega parliamentarian assembly, alleging a "malicious propaganda" by Bangladesh, and unfriendly attitude.

The last minute pull-out of 10-member delegation led by Pakistan national assembly speaker Ayaz Sadiq was due to participate in the IPU assembly in Dhaka. Further to slay the slain, Pakistan took the issue of Bangladesh observing "Genocide Day" on March 25 to memorialize genocide of three million people and sexual abuse of 400,000 women during the Liberation War in 1971. ( History is history . Cannot be denied )

Sadiq's statement was not a surprise Bangladesh government. He said the Pakistan national assembly members noted with disappointment the actions and "negative public statements" coming out of Bangladesh despite Pakistan's "restraint and overtures" to the country.
The bilateral relation between the two countries has been in roller-coaster since the independence of Bangladesh and surrender of Pakistan armed forces in eastern front in December 1971.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government strongly reacted to Pakistan's reactions in regard of the judicial verdicts, which her administration stated tantamount to meddling in internal affairs of Bangladesh and also asked Islamabad to apologize for atrocities committed by marauding Pakistan army during the Liberation War.

Bangladesh also with other South Asian countries including India, Afghanistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bhutan pulled out of the 19th SAARC Summit to be hosted by Pakistan in November 2016, citing incitement in terrorism in the region.This episode further angered Islamabad and blamed Dhaka taking cue from New Delhi and adopts an anti-Pakistan posture, writes an editorial in a Pakistan newspaper published on April 1.Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, ( was he "old enough" to remember the atrocities of 1971 ) quoted in an influential newspaper "Aaj News" expressed grief that "all such dedicated efforts, unfortunately, fell in vain and Pakistan was time and again targeted and maligned…. It was, therefore, decided, with a heavy heart, not to undertake a visit to Bangladesh at this time."

The Last Hours Of Megolmaniac - And Architect Of Pakistan Breakup - Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto , Recounted Here, On The Anniversary Of His Death, By A Pakistani Newspaper

[Rajdeep]

“[J]ihad has constituted nothing less than a central pillar of Pakistani grand strategy,” writes Naval Postgraduate School Professor S. Paul Kapur in his new book Jihad as Grand Strategy: Islamist Militancy, National Security, and the Pakistani State. This insightful case study illuminates how Pakistan’s Islamic Republic has pursued politics by means of Islamic proxies that are perpetrating faith-based violence, a phenomenon with immense implications for South Asia and beyond.

Kapur traces the origins of Pakistan’s linkage with jihadist religious warfare to the 1947 partition of British India into the independent states of Muslim-majority Pakistan and Hindu-majority India. “Pakistan suffered from material and domestic political weakness so severe that it threatened the new state’s viability” amidst disparate ethnicities in what had been British India’s neglected frontier regions. Accordingly, Pakistan’s leaders ultimately decided that “Pakistan would need to become a Muslim state; it could not simply serve as a secular state for Muslims.” The “new country would have to become a state based on a concept meaningful to the majority of ordinary Pakistanis, regardless of their ethnic, economic, or geographical interests or backgrounds.”

With this founding state ideology, “all South Asian Muslims constituted a single nation of the faithful,” including Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority province and a territory contested by the two states along their border, Kapur observes. Therefore Pakistan’s creation was a “fundamentally revisionist project, opposed to the territorial status quo in South Asia.” Yet “Pakistani leaders believed that such a negative identity, focused on opposition to so-called Hindu India, would most effectively unify the country.”

Kapur details how Pakistani authorities have employed Islamic ideology to inspire jihadist guerilla groups in successive campaigns to “liberate” Kashmir from Indian control, including the 1947 and 1965 Indo-Pakistani wars. India currently deploys about 400,000 security personnel in Kashmir to combat an insurgency that “has lasted nearly three decades and cost India more blood and treasure than all of its other wars combined.” “At the diplomatic level, the Kashmir dispute remains on the agenda of the international community, despite India’s claim that it is a solely bilateral issue.”

Kapur also analyzes how Pakistan has used jihadist proxies across its western border in Afghanistan in order to establish friendly regimes there. Pakistan had already been supporting such proxies in their struggles against disfavored Afghan governments during the 1970s when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. “From the beginning, the Pakistanis had viewed the Afghan war not simply as a danger, but also as an opportunity.”

When the United States and others subsequently supported through Pakistan Afghan guerillas fighting the Soviets, Kapur notes that “Pakistan insisted on serving as the exclusive link between international aid donors and the mujahideen.” With little oversight, “Pakistanis were able to divert considerable resources — one estimate puts the amount at 30 percent or more — away from the war to other uses,” such as supporting Kashmiri jihadists. Pakistan’s ruling dictator, General Zia-ul-Haq, “reportedly referred in private to the war in Afghanistan as ‘the Kashmir jihad.’”

Caveat emptor when dealing with Royal Enfield.

Motorcycle manufacturer Royal Enfield, now part of the Gurgaon aka Gurugram based Eicher Motors Group of companies, has been sourcing motorcycle riding gear such as leather jackets and gloves sold under its brandname, from the Mohammadden Terrorist fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan .

Royal Enfield draws flak from Tweeple for selling ‘Made in Pakistan’ jackets :

Twitter has been abuzz with strong disapproval of bike-maker Royal Enfield’s business relations with a Pakistan-based riding apparel maker which is a supplier for the automaker's biker jackets and gloves.

Comments have ranged from benign condemnation to outright nastiness with one tweeple even going as far as to use a four-letter word, calling the tie-up a 'heartbreak'.

For over four years now, Eicher Motors-owned Royal Enfield, which is the oldest motorcycle brand from India in continuous production, has been importing and selling riding gear from a manufacturer based in Sialkot Pakistan.

Pakistan-based Pilot Sewing Corporation makes fashion jackets, racer gloves, bike pants and leather vests among several other products for many bike-making companies, one of which is Delhi-based Royal Enfield.

While Eicher has been importing leather jackets and leather gloves from this Pakistani company since the past few years it seems buyers became aware of it only recently.

Many people posted pictures of the manufacturing tags and labels of these imported products on the micro-blogging site Twitter expressing their displeasure. ………………..

Royal Enfield started opening its biking apparel range in 2013 after the launch of the Continental GT bike. The company opened several stand-alone stores that primarily focused on selling apparels not bikes. These apparels are also presently sold on Flipkart, too.

Eicher Motors did not respond to a mail seeking comments on their association with the Pakistan-based company. A mail sent to Pilot Sewing remained unanswered, too. ……………………

PTI alleges Gen. Kayani, US, Saudi Arabia for engineering 2013 elections in favour of PML-N

KARACHI: In a rather astonishing statement, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has alleged that former chief of army staff General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani engineered the general election in 2013 with the support of Saudi Arabia and the USA in favour of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Geo News reported.

Speaking during Geo News program ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath’, PTI Information Secretary Naeemul Haq quoted a satire piece, published on April 1, which suggested that Imran Khan's party was all set to win at least 60% seats from all over Pakistan, however, due to massive rigging by certain policy circles their mandate was stolen.

Naeemul Haq said, "It is all into our knowledge, there was nothing new in the published article. General Kayani, Saudia Arabia and the USA engineered the election in favour of Nawaz Sharif.”

He further added, “The polls were stopped in middle of the night. ROs were pressured to follow the instructions.”

However, despite repeated requests to share any proofs to back the allegations, the party's information secretary refused to give any.

“I challenge Gen (Retd) Kayani to refute the allegation. We don't need to give any proof; people are aware of the facts. Ingenuities are not exercised on a written paper. There are no safe recordings available of such acts.”

He further added that in case there is a PTI government in future, the party will form a commission to investigate the elections.

Regarding India, Janjua explained to the delegation "how [fast] the fragile security architecture of the region" is getting burdened and how it has started to "suffer from serious imbalance".He further urged the UK to adopt a "balanced regional approach" with its diplomatic relations so as to "restore" balance in the region.The delegation in its response said that the UK acknowledges Pakistan's role in establishing peace, stability and security in the region, and expressed desire to diversify its relations with the country. Altaf and MQM - are being labelled "agents of India and RAA" by the Pakjabi Establishment for demanding rights for the Urdu speaking migrants from India. His MQM party has strong local support in Karachi and interior Sind and Altaf himself keeps up pressure from Londonistan !

Pumps closed as Karachi runs short of fuel

KARACHI: Fuel shortage and long queues at petrol stations were witnessed in Karachi Tuesday afternoon as pumps ran short of fuel.

They were shut down due to non-supply of petrol and diesel as oil tankers associations went on strike against the imposition of 16% sales tax.

Panic spread in the metropolis as motorists flocked the fuel stations in search of the scarce petrol and diesel. Most of the petrol pumps had discontinued selling fuel. Those still selling petrol and diesel had large queues of cars and motorcycles as well as people trying to obtain fuel in bottles.

Earlier, the chairperson of All Pakistan Oil Tankers Owners Association, Akram Durrani, had told The Express Tribune that the strike will continue until the government revisits the 16% sales tax.

“The strike will not end until the government announces taking back the decision of [sales] tax,” he said.

Later, Durrani said they have called off the strike following the government’s assurance over reconsidering its decision and resolving the issue in Islamabad. He added that they are now going to get their tankers loaded to resume the supply of petrol and diesel to fuel stations.

Pakistan State Oil (PSO), the largest oil marketing company with a market share of over 50%, had earlier announced in a statement that “the company is striving hard to ensure that the supply of petroleum products continues across the country without any hitches.”

Though the strike is not against PSO and the company has no stake in the matter, PSO’s supply chain is vigilant of the situation, the statement added.

PSO reiterated its commitment to maintaining uninterrupted fuel supply to meet the country’s fuel and energy needs under all circumstances.

Pakistan is a net importer of oil. It meets 25% of its needs through local resources, while the rest of the 75% requirement is met through imports.

Karachi, having two seaports, plays a crucial role in the import and supply of oil to the upcountry.

Pakistan's ISI paid Kashmiri separatists Rs 800 crore to fuel unrest in Kashmir, says Intelligence Bureau report

An Intelligence Bureau (IB) report has stated that Pakistan's intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), supplied Rs 800 crore to Kashmiri separatist leaders including Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Asiya Andrabi to fuel unrest in the Valley.The funds were reportedly transferred to the separatist leaders through various channels. H However, the flow of illicit money slowed down after November 2016, when demonetisation of high-value currency notes was announced.[/owever, the flow of illicit money slowed down after November 2016, when demonetisation of high-value currency notes was announced.

WHAT DOES THE INTELLIGENCE BUREAU REPORT SAY
As per the IB report, the funds supplied by the ISI were used to pay off stone-pelters and petrol bomb throwers, news website One India reported.
In its report, the IB states that an uprising was planned in the Valley by Pakistan much before July 2016. It also states that Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani's encounter helped the ISI ignite rebellion across the Valley. According to the IB report quoted by One India, a large chunk of the funds was sent via terrorists who crossed over into India from terror launchpads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The money was then delivered to the separatists through touts and hawala channels. The funds were also used to propagate anti-India and anti-security forces sentiments in the Valley.

Resigned Female PTI Member Suspects That Imran Khan Is "In Bed With The Mullahs"

Why I threw in the PTI towel

There was a flood of messages and calls over social media and phone, as the news of my resignation from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) got out. Some admired my courage, while others questioned my loyalty and some declared me as an opportunist.

My close friends knew that this decision came after a long battle with myself. For a long time, I felt helpless about the ideology that PTI promoted and it was not aligned with the idea of change in meaningful terms. I believe in loyalty to causes and my decision to leave PTI came after the realisation that the party was no more loyal to its promised cause. People voted for change but PTI politics proved to be just another effort to establish tried and tested mechanisms. The Election Commission of Pakistan, recently ,refused to allot an election symbol to PTI, citing absence of internal (party) election. Many have accused I.K. of running a one-man show !

The divisive alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and its dominance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) policies were quite alarming. Voters of PK-95 (Lower Dir) and supporters of change were let down when JI, PTI and other political parties agreed that women would be barred from casting their votes. The electoral alliance with the notorious ASWJ in Mirpur and Haripur was extremely worrying us progressives. The final nail in the proverbial coffin of my idealism was allocation of a grant worth Rs. 300 million to a madrassa known for training militants. I wasn’t the only one to challenge this decision but Imran Khan’s response was baffling, to say the least. Imran Khan cannot stand up to the Mullahs and that is one reason why he has been given the moniker of "Taliban Khan"

Youth and overseas Pakistanis, once declared as the ‘backbone of the party’ by Khan, were almost forgotten. All the mesmerising slogans of Naya Pakistan were nothing more than political stunts. Youth were exploited only to increase presence in mass protests for political gains.I commend the bravery of workers who dreamt of a revolution but were treated like dirt in the end. Moreover, certain youth leaders were ‘selected’ as poster boys to falsify the myth. People still haven’t forgotten on how certain founding members were sidelined to provide space for opportunists.Stripped of his western veneer,and his "admiration for British democracy " Imran is an Islamist ,autocrat and probably a male chauvinist !

Neither did I join the party for personal gains not resigned over some petty reasons. If one reads the manifesto then would realise that how it shifted to the far-right spectrum. Lately, Ali Muhammad Khan’s open threat to seculars reflects the leadership’s mentality towards progressive Pakistanis. Imran Khan has clearly failed not only me but scores of other Pakistanis as well. Sloganeering can provide supporters on social media but votes, hardly. Military need a poster boy for Paki democracy and Kaptan Khan fits the bill

Paki Establishment "Afraid" Of Dr Riaz.

Who’s afraid of Dr Riaz?

Over the weekend, news reports came in that an ‘MQM-London member’ had been arrested by law-enforcement agencies (LEAs) in Karachi. The accused was en route to the Karachi Press Club, where he was scheduled to conduct a press conference on the detention of Dr Hasan Zafar Arif, a 75-year-old retired philosophy professor from Karachi University now associated with the MQM.The news quickly spread among progressive circles throughout the country that the ‘MQM-London leader’ was none other than Dr Riaz Ahmed, a man whose name has become synonymous with the politics of resistance. On Sunday, it was discovered that he had been charged with possession of an illegal weapon – a move evidently aimed at prolonging his detention. Before delving into how this episode is yet another instance that reveals our moral and institutional bankruptcy, it is important to separate truth from fiction and consider who exactly is the man being seen as a national security threat.

Riaz has been one of the most eloquent and consistent voices from the Mohajir community against the rule of the MQM; this won him many admirers from across the ethnic divide in Pakistan. This also makes it all the more hilariously tragic that attempts were made to link him to the MQM. This way, "Deep State" is killing two birds with one stone. Accusing a person as an MQM London member as well as removing a thorn who resists them !

Riaz’s true crime is simply that he violated the unwritten, yet most sacred, law prevalent these days in Pakistan – self-censorship. For one can always talk about politicians’ corruption (never extended to other sacred institutions) or the never-ending ‘foreign conspiracies’ against our country. But as soon as we discuss institutional imbalances in the country’s political economy we immediately touch a raw-nerve, since the basic power structure of the state is not only overtly anti-people, but is also considered beyond the ambit of criticism.

Handling the country’s largest city in such a whimsical manner, however, should give us much cause for concern, especially since there are serious doubts about the calibre of those at the helm. For example, much of the information about Dr Riaz provided above could easily be ascertained through a simple Google search. This of course leads us to believe that those who tried linking him to MQM-London were either malicious or incredibly incompetent. Neither is pardonable.

The book is rooted in history going back to Partition, but focuses on the period from 1998 -when India and Pakistan held nuclear tests - to the present day. MacDonald will talk about some of the lessons that can be drawn from that period, including Pakistan’s reckless “good Taliban, bad Taliban” policies, its view of India and Afghanistan, and its approach to peace talks over Kashmir.

"Fullbright Scholar" Studying Islamic Studies At University Of Chicago (!) Is Barred From Travelling To US And Wonders Why .

Pakistani Fulbright scholar barred from entering US

A Karachi-based Fulbright scholar’s life was changed after he was barred from travelling to US for reasons unknown.Zia Hussain Syed, a student of University of Chicago, talked to Geo.tv about the incident shedding light on the impact certain administrative decisions have on lives of people.“I had just returned with one suitcase not knowing this will happen. All my documents, souvenirs are there,” he said, adding that he is also learning to cope with living without all his belongings.Syed, a Lahore University of Management Sciences alumnus, said that he had returned to Karachi in December last year for winter vacations, after completing his first semester at the University of Chicago.Little did he know that just in a month his life would be overturned. On January 4, he was excited to return back to US but was unexpectedly stopped by the officials at Karachi airport despite having all the relevant documents.
Syed was pursuing a degree in Islamic Studies from University of Chicago’s Divinity School. He has also taken courses and studied Persian and Arabic and was focusing on Early Islamic Mysticism. First time I have heard that Massa is accepting " Fullbright Islamic Scholar" and now the Trump Sarkar is doing away with this kind of scholarship; but seriously speaking, should not this eager- beaver Islamic scholar, gained some" real knowledge" by applying for admission in the famous Al -Azhar of Cairo, or University of Riyadh, or (if he is a Shia ) or at the Famous Seminary at Qom . As an added bonus, his expenses would have "scholarshiped" by Saudi or the Irani Govt !

When asked about his choice of subject, he remarked that there is a dearth of Islamic scholarship in Pakistan. He is also the co-founder of Ravvish, a project which endeavours to build peace between different religions.However, in the entire process he claims to be overwhelmed with the type of support he has received. His friends and professors from University of Chicago along with Fulbright officials have been very supportive. “People I barely knew before also reached out me,” he said.Syed has been given an official leave of absence till the start of the new semester in September. “I have all the relevant documents just need a visa now [to go back to continue his education at the university]” he said.The reasons why he was stopped remain unclear, soon after this incident Trump’s administration had announced ban on seven Muslim countries (in which Pakistan was not included).In 2014, he also went on a US government-sponsored undergraduate cultural exchange programme to American University in Washington.

So, here's the real reason; even though he is of an "Islamic bent", he had developed a "taste for the good Amriki life" on his previous Massaland visit

“I want all the people who have dealt with injustice to raise their voice. One decision can have a lasting impact on others’ lives. Authorities with decision making powers should realise that one decision can affect someone’s life, career, family among others."As for his future plans, he is going to wait till September and apply for visa once again. However, if that does not pan out then he hopes to go to UK for further studies.Sadly, many UK universities do not take transfer credits, he remarked, adding that he will again have to apply to universities from scratch.“In the meantime, I have settled in Karachi at my family home and started working for The Citizens Foundation. I hope to start working with students and teachers in interior Sindh near my hometown in Thatta over the summers under Ravvish,” he shared in a Facebook post. Following 9/11 the Americans have become very strict is issuing visas "for higher studies" to Pakis in areas such as computer science, nuclear studies and certain engineering disciplines ; Late Hamid Gul's son was denied a US student visa . You have countless number of examples, where Pakis once in US on a visa , become radicalized . Look at San Bernadino killer Ms. Malik , given visa in Islamabad ! I don't blame the US one bit in refusing entry to this "Islamic Scholar "
“There is still hope that things will sort out soon and I will continue my education. If not, indeed God's plans are better than ours,” he added.

Allegation against Gen Kayani: Ex-general says PTI will have to pay price

ISLAMABAD: Though former Army Chief Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani has not clarified his position on the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) rigging allegations, one of the former top generals has rubbished the latest accusation and said the PTI will have to pay the price.Reacting to PTI Chief Imran Khan’s spokesperson Naeemul Haq’s latest wild allegations against the former military chief, General (R) Tariq Khan has rubbished the allegations in strong words.

According to reliable sources former military dictator General (retd) Pervez Musharraf wanted PML-Q to win the general elections 2008 at any cost and for this purpose he even wanted the Army’s help. However, the ex-COAS General (retd) Kayani categorically made it clear to him that Army would play no role in the elections. This was the reason that the former military dictator General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was not happy with General Kayani.

"Muslim Nato" - A Strategic Blunder

The formation of a “Muslim NATO” may actually encourage jihadism.
By Kamran Bokhari

Cooperation between Muslim-majority states has always been an aspiration that has failed to materialize. The fate of a Saudi-Pakistani initiative to form a NATO-style military organization for the Muslim world will not be much different. In fact, the “Islamic Military Alliance” is based on Sunni-versus-Shiite geopolitical sectarian logic that has produced intra-Muslim conflicts for centuries. This tactical alignment between certain Sunni Muslim nation-states is unlikely to come together in a coherent form, much less achieve its stated goal of successfully combating jihadists who have pursued a more strategic project of pan-Muslim unity. It is like the fox ( Saudia ) in charge of the hen-house

Pakistan has asked Iran to respect its decision to play a lead role in Saudi Arabia’s initiative known as the Islamic Military Alliance, The Express Tribune reported on April 4. A day earlier, Tehran’s ambassador to Islamabad said that while the Pakistanis had taken the Iranians into confidence on the move, Iran maintains serious reservations on the matter. Nevertheless, Pakistan’s defense minister on March 29 confirmed speculation that the country’s recently retired army chief, Gen. Raheel Sharif, had been given permission to assume the post of commander of the 39-nation military coalition. The defense minister added that discussions were underway to deploy a Pakistani combat brigade in the kingdom. The Pakis are clearly in the Saudi Camp , so why this pretense. Obviously, the "commander" will do the bidding of the Saudis , not against Jihadism but next door poor Shias of Yemen.

This is not the first time that Pakistan has deployed forces in the Middle East under a bilateral security arrangement. In 1970, Pakistan sent forces to Jordan to help the Hashemite kingdom defeat an insurrection by the Palestine Liberation Organization. Pakistani forces were also sent to the kingdom to dislodge renegade Salafist militants who had seized the holiest Muslim mosque in Mecca in 1979. Twelve years later, Pakistan sent 20,000 military personnel to Saudi Arabia during the 1991 Gulf War. But this time is different because it would be the first time Pakistan is committing troops to an alliance and not for a specific battlespace that had a specific objective. Pakistan's status as a "rentier state" confirmed ! This does not include the US who has been a "good client" for the last 60+ years

Historically, Pakistan has had a close defensivefor relationship with Saudi Arabia. In addition to deploying troops, Pakistan has provided training assistance to all three services of the kingdom’s armed forces. In return, the Saudis have extended financial assistance, crude oil at concessionary rates and diplomatic support. Such is the extent of the relationship that Riyadh has had considerable influence in domestic Pakistani political struggles, especially the one between current Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the country’s last military dictator, President Pervez Musharraf. "Of The Shelf Nuclear Bomb" option not mentioned by the otherwise well informed journo

So far, Pakistan is the only large Muslim military power that has committed to this Saudi-led military bloc announced in October 2015. Pakistan is also an extra-regional player sitting outside the Middle East. What is significant is that the two major and more proximate military powers – Turkey and Egypt – have both steered clear of this alliance. There is money to be made for the Pakis ! With Raheel at the helm, orders for Paki ordinance , will be pouring in and "lots of cash" will be sticking to the fingers of the kernels and jernails of the Paki Fauj

Pan-Islamic solidarity is a notion that is romanticized in the Muslim world, but no state within the Ummah is willing to actually invest in it. The nearly 50-year history of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation underscores how the nation-state trumps religious solidarity. With Saudi cash and Paki" muscle ", success is guaranteed ![/quote]From the U.S. perspective, as long as the Islamic Military Alliance fights the Islamic State and acts as a bulwark against other destabilizing forces in the region, it is helpful to American national interests. It has the potential to relieve Washington from doing the heavy lifting on regional security. To a great extent, the U.S. has had to engage in costly interventions because regional pro-Western states have lacked collective security capabilities. Washington would like nothing more than countries like Turkey, Pakistan and others to take the lead in the fight against IS and other jihadist actors, as well as in containing Iran. IMO, the focus is going to be Iran (alone) . World opinion however concludes that the fountainhead of terrorism is situated in Saudi Arabia

The Islamic Military Alliance is not designed to be a pan-Muslim alliance. Even at the intra-Sunni level, very few states have shown interest. In addition, the Sunni camp is so divided that it is unlikely to challenge the jihadists. On the contrary, its sectarian architecture will only exacerbate jihadism. The whole thing is a god Allah -sent retirement scheme for Raheel, not to mention his possible anointing as a Field Marshall , return to Pakiland as a "war hero and launching his political career as a "savior of Pakistan " in competition with his mentor Mush
