Pakistan ...why?

On top of, or more because of the nuclear capability, as mentioned by the first message, the 'World' is heartily sick to it's stomach of being force fed Islam at every turn, especially more so when news other items mentions Pakistan being a 'killing field' as many youths and men are claimed to being killed or conscripted into terrorist activities.

There are far more so called moderate Muslims than potential terrorists acting in the name of their faith than the relatively small proportion engaged in unacceptable activities, so until they begin to act responsibly and police their own religion, and to eradicate those hell bent on turning the whole world into a Caliphate, maybe the world will be able to take on board the Pakistan that lies under the present Islamic pressures, so recently demonstrated at 9/11, London, Madrid, and elsewhere.

The stupidity behind most of these people was contemptuously demonstrated by the disruption of the BBC Proms night by a bunch of crazed apologists using Palestinian problems as the excuse to cause mayhem because the Israeli Orchestra was playing.

Would that Palestine could even produce such a competent and world renowned group, as long as Islamic pressures refuse to tolerate anything that can, even extremely loosely, be considered anti Islamic, it never will be able to enter the global stage, with such magnificence as provided by the Israeli orchestra.

The world does not tolerate the Burka, so why should it tolerate the base of Islamic from which most problems appear to be derived....Pakistan!

Moved to be unmoved.

Pakistan is a nuclear armed state and is expanding that capability at billions of dollars worth of expense, so Pakistan has no need for the international aid that is essentially a subsidy for Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme. Pakistan's PM has called on the world for help, but what is Pakistan doing to help the world in the face of terrorism out of Pakistan. Terrorism which significantly contributes to the deaths and injuries to US and international personnel in Afghanistan. On the positive side, the Islamist groups can only supply aid until they run out of funds, which should mean that hey have less to spend on weapons.
