@@@@@@@@@Also, as per tahmed (mullah32), the great prophet had said "Go to China, if you have to, for knowledge". So Pakis go to China for knowledge about bomb-delivery systems like missiles, as well as the nuclear bomb.@@@@@@@@@@
Correct....
But this prophet of doom also said the following about India, hence we got gauris, ghaznavis, akbers, aurngzeb, baburs and what not......
Here are his glorious words about conquering India....
“… in the hadith collections the prophet Muhammad himself is credited with the aspiration of conquering India. Participants in the holy war against al-Hind [the Hindus] are promised to be saved from hell-fire… Thus also an eschatological work which is called the Kitab al-Fitan (’Book of Trials’) credits Muhammad with saying that God will forgive the sins of the members of the Muslim army which will attack al-Hind, and give them victory.”
In one of the Hadiths (Muslim scripture) the Prophet Muhammad isquoted as saying “Two groups of my Ummah Allah has protected from the hellfire: a group that will conquer India and a group thatwill be with Isa ibnu Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary).” The first attempted invasion of India by Muslims occurred in 636 CE — underCaliph Umar, within four years of Muhammad’s death. The first 16 invasion attempts utterly failed.

I have to say that you don't have a clue, not being Muslim yourself. While all these scientists all over the world are searching for answers in their laboratories and studies like fools, Muslims know that ALL the knowledge that there possibly could be is encoded in the Koran. So while the rest of the world chase their tails, the Muslims are stuying the "book" and gaining an advantage over everyone else in the afterlife. If you don't believe ma, ask Masadi.
Also, as per tahmed (mullah32), the great prophet had said "Go to China, if you have to, for knowledge". So Pakis go to China for knowledge about bomb-delivery systems like missiles, as well as the nuclear bomb.
Pakis have all the bases covered.

I have lost all respect for Dr. Hoodbhoy. He is at his best when it comes to criticizing whatever we have achieved or might achieve with limited resources at our disposal.
Some comments in response to this article;
-He keeps on harping the mantra of elating the nation's 'scientific' prowess to the standards of the west, yet he fails to recognize the same when it comes to achievements in the nuclear arena.
-He *fails* to mention the peaceful uses of this technology (in agriculture and medicine, for instance) that Pakistan has successfully integrated into its system, and is heavily investing (in research) in such technologies to extend its benefits to its people.
People like Dr. Hoodbhoy live in an idealistic world of their own, and leave no stone unturned to dampen the nation's spirits with their own insecurities, which have continued to haunt them for the most part of their lives, or worse, might haunt them for the rest of their lives.

I can’t understand it why peoples speak out about Pakistan nuclear capability only on some specific period of time. I have watched some TV programs as well about it on which they are trying to tell that Pakistan has not anything form nuclear capabilities. Why they talk about it only when western media launch campaign against it. Why only on that time??? Are they up to something? I think so. It makes sense.
Nuclear capability is not responsible for the current situation of Pakistan but it is our politicians who failed to deliver. They looted millions of rupees from Pakistan which could be use for the welfare of peoples. and peoples who are working for foreign agendas are responsible for the instability of Pakistan. Who have been paid for arising conflicts in Pakistan, especially when there are problems in Pakistan.
As mentioned in article its not bomb it is peoples who protect Pakistan, yes it is true but it is also true sir it is not bomb its peoples (politicians, fake mullas, and paid intellectuals) who are responsible for instability of Pakistan. Its peoples like Musharaf who follows the instructions of America, its Zardari; it was Benazir who were bringing American agenda here. It is peoples like Altaf Hussain, Fazul Rehman and yes also I said before Paid Intellectuals who only speaks on time of crisis and do nothing but just throwing words.

Here's the connection between military and poverty (guns vs bread) as pointed out in the UNICEF report:
Unicef was also critical of high military budgets in the region at the cost of social protection. India is modernizing its armed forces and projecting its power more widely than in the past.
“A number of countries in south Asia decide to invest in the military and not to increase investment in their people.? said Daniel Toole, Unicef’s regional director “Budgetary allocations can be more than 10 per cent in the military, while education is only 2 per cent.?
Moron, if there is one country in South Asia that spends close to the upper limit the Unicef guy mentioned, it is Pakistan. You guys spend almost 5% of your GDP, additionally stealing from US aid money to buy weaponry and God alone knows how much narco-money you spend on buying arms. India spends about 2.5% of its GDP on the military.
Being a numbers guy producing discredited stats all the time, couldn't you find the numbers to show which military spends more?

....there is antipathy against pakistan, for the same reason there is antipathy against usa in afghanistan.......right now, the most hated country amongst afghans is the usa......the second most disliked is pakistan.......why....because no one likes a country that tries to control it......
......the usa is occupying afghanistan (not to be confused by the propoganda on us tv shows)......hence it is hated......prior to that, pakistan tried to occupy afghanistan, via taliban.....hence it is disliked......
....pakistan has been able to clear a huge area around swat in a month, from the taliban.......nato has been unable to do so, in afghanistan, over 7 years, despite having orders of magnitude more resources.......why......
because people of swat are on the side of the pakistan military and govt.......while people of afghanistan are not on the side of the usa......
no one likes being occupied......
(in addition, the world used afghanistan (and pakistan) to break up the soviet empire........and it is, now, using afghanistan to take on al-qaeda etc.).......

It is a fact that Pakistan is a nuclear state but it is also true that our governments could not provide basic needs of survival to their people. instead of providing strong foundation to people our government make them fool. Hoodbhpy's article is eye opener for all of us.

tahmed writes "What is also interesting is that the mullah Bacha Saqa was supported by the British in overthrowing the secularist Amanullah who had made Afghanistan too independent of British rule."
Nothing interesting or surprising in it, the US supported the mujahideen against the secular leftist government in Afghanistan, Israel/US supported and built up Hamas as a bullwark against the secular PLO, and the US in particular had been doing that all through the cold war opportunistically using religion and right wing lunatics (like you) to destabilize countries whose governments were pro-people and left. Currently they are supporting the Taliban against the civilian government of Pakistan ensuring that it fails.
What you don't know is that the US supported and facilitated Khomeni's "revolution" and then helped him get rid of the leftists that made overthrowing the shah possible, they handed over ownership of the 'revolution' to the mullahs....

What tahmed wont tell you is the US role in manufacturing the Taliban theocracy in Afghanistan, and their current attempts to do the same in Pakistan in order to create an enemy to further its farcical GWOT.

tahmedji,

Very informative.
Afghans, for the longest time was very secular & tolerant--& yet devoutly muslim. Its sad to see what has happened to that country.
I've always scratched my head wondering why there is so much antipathy against Pakistan, in Afghanistan. After all, during the Soviet occupation, nobody helped the poor, displaced Afghans more than Pakistan.
Many of them are still in Pakistan & have now their descendants are into the third generation, who have never seen Afghanistan. There ought to be some gratitude for that. Friendship is a 2 way street.
Personally, I think the Soviets, Americans & Zia played the biggest role in Afghan anger.
