I rquest my friends to dehyphenate the issue of Gilgit Batistan from its sectarian and strategic dimension and analyse the whole issue in the light of the sufferings of the residents of this area who are a perfect example of a nation without any legal identity. The question of ismailis being Muslims is totally irrelevent to a debate on our constitutional dilemma.

Syed Ali

Re: # 7
Maj sahib,
I'm not implying anything right now, let the Ismailis explain. And I don't like communicating with the peon-class.
Regards.

Tahir sahib,

Are you implying that Ismailis may not really be Muslims. In that case there wud be a peculiar situation (as Peon bhai points out) that the father of a Muslim nation is a non-Muslim.

Regards

Re: # 4
When they explain it themselves first, then I'll shed some light on the matter. But don't ignore what I said about Hunza.

:)

Re: # 2
It might be uselful to ask the Agha Khan first, these folks have steadily been converting the Gilgit-Hunza locals to the Ismaili faith since long.

It is time to officially merge Gilgit and Baltistan
into Pakistan.

Forget it Ali Sahib. Human rights etc. apply only to the people of Occupied Kashmir. Muslims oppressed by "purer Muslims" is not really oppression; it is ghar ki baat.
