Pakistan: not a friend, not an ally. All U.S. aid to Pakistan should be cut off immediately. This actually should have been done many years ago.
“Imran Khan’s provocative statements include call for jihad, violence in India: MEA,” India Today, August 29, 2019:
India on Thursday strongly condemned “highly irresponsible” statements by Pakistani leadership on withdrawal of special status to Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the provocative statements include “call for jihad and inciting violence in India”.
On Monday, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan attacked India on its decision to abrogate the provisions of Article 370 that gave a special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said Pakistan has been using terrorism as state policy against India and it must stop exporting terror.
“We strongly condemn highly irresponsible statements by Pakistani leadership on matters internal to India,” he said, in what is seen as a direct reference to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s comments.
“These statements include references to Jihad and to incite violence in India, this is intended to project an alarmist situation which is far from ground reality. Pakistan needs to understand that the world has seen through their provocative rhetoric based on lies and deceit,” the MEA spokepserson said….

Imran Khan’s beginning to look like another Mouamar Kadhafi.
FYI says
Isn’t this the same khan that said “Jesus Christ never existed in human history”{2018},something that caused some uproar and anger in the islamic world as muslims believe Jesus to be a prophet.
“And WE bestowed on {Jesus} the Gospel wherein are guidance and a light”
koran 5 v 46
Oh now this is awkward:so al LAH himself claims in his koran that he gave the Gospel to Jesus which means that Jesus must have indeed “existed in human history”.
khan must have forgotten to read his ‘holy’ koran as ,according to k5:46,Jesus,in order to have received that Gospel that allah says he wrote,must have..existed in Historical time{ for the Gospel to be received}
With a muslim genius like khan running pakistan what could possibleigh go rxong?
I’m with the Indians.
islam and Logic:separated at birth.
Hindu American says
Khan is on record claiming that there was no “mention of Jesus Christ in history” (November 20, 2018). Besides this pulled-out-of-the-thin-air gem, he is also credited with bigoted comments related to Jews and Hindus. One of his many ex-wives, Reham Khan, called him a closet bigot, pedophile, misogynist, playboy, and racist. She should know. Others have less charitable opinions on him.
Hey, he is a pakistani. It comes with the territory.
Infidel says
He’s also a moron. Earlier this year, when he was on his international panhandling tour, he was on a visit of the GCC, and there, he just totally snubbed King Salman of Saudi Arabia – the country that he was begging from. It was just unbelievable, since he needs that money to both pay off some Chinese debt as well as put money into the economy.
His best option now is to make overtures to Iran, so that the Arabs take him more seriously. Yeah, he has a basketcase of an economy, but the last thing the Arabs would want is Paki nukes being made available to Iran
william carr says
Wait a moment. Did I not just read today that Imran Khan claims Islam is a religion of peace?
mortimer says
The PM of Pakistan is cunningly playing to the delusional Pak crowd. This is the ongoing PSYCHODRAMA that Muslims have … convincing themselves that Islamic rule will return to all India.
Islam is undoubtedly the most delusional political ideology. The brainwashing of a Muslim is so complete that no outside facts can penetrate its ‘thought-proof’ barrier.
mortimer says
There are many things about the US-Pakistan relationship that makes it worth having. The disagreement about ‘the war on terror’ is only one part of a bigger picture. Pakistan is not the perfect ally by any means, because it is not a puppet of the US, but having a part-friend is better than having a 100% enemy.
In geo-politics we seldom have perfectly clear choices.
Infidel says
Right, b’cos a country that lied to us for 10 years about Osama’s whereabouts is one that we should trust. Somehow, ‘ally’ is the last word that I’d pick while describing them: they are a bigger enemy of the US than countries like Iran, Syria, Yemen or Turkey. Not just that: they are a bigger threat to the US than they are to India. Since India knows about them and takes nothing that they say at face value, whereas the US still doesn’t have Pakistan on the Travel Ban list.
The best thing for US is the state of Pakistan as it is now. They have an economy in free fall, and have few choices other than to sell themselves completely to China. Hopefully, before they know it, they’ll become another Xinxiang, and the Chinese can make them a part of their Belt-Road initiative

Mortimer, how is Pakistan an ally *at all*? They have given the Taliban safe haven, had Osama bin Laden living openly just yards from the gate of their most famous military school, backed the horrific Jihad terror attack on Mumbai, and persecute their vulnerable Christian and other Infidel populations.
How are they an ally *at all*?
And your idea that the US cannot have better allies than Pakistan unless they are our “puppets” is nothing but calumny. Is Israel our puppet? What about the rest of the free world?

What a deceiver !
CRUSADER says
Irresponsible wrass.
For a country with nuke capacity, this is irrational stuff emanating…
Westman says
And Pakistan already has conducted 3 wars with India, two over Kashmir. It’s only a matter of time before these nations unload on each other. Nothing illustrates more effectively the power of Islam to wash a mind – both the same race and one “supremist” ideology would destroy the other in a moment if it could do it without being destroyed itself.
Savvy Kafir says
We’re basically paying Pakistan billions of dollars in the hope that if we keep them flush with cash, they won’t do anything naughty with their nukes. But the U.S. military supposedly has drawn up a plan for depriving Pakistan of its nuclear weapons. That should be done just as soon as possible — before some True Believer in the Pakistani military hands off a nuke to a terrorist group. Then all American aid to Pakistan should be ended. That is one of the last countries in the world that we should be supporting.

What was your opinion on Benazir Bhutto?
I heard her speak once at a graduation.
https://www.depauw.edu/news-media/latest-news/details/13912/
https://youtu.be/iflwBkojjgI
Infidel says
She was the person who created the Taliban as a force in Afghanistan. Her predecessor – Gen Zia – was a backer of a different Jihadist – Gulbaddin Heqmatyar. Since Bhutto wanted to reverse every policy of Gen Zia, she decided to switch Pakistan’s support for one Afghan warlord to a new party, totally controlled by her ISI. The public facade of her being either a moderate or a modernizing influence (say like Ataturk) is a total invention by Pakistani Leftists that have been swallowed by Leftists elsewhere in the world
Hindu American says
The name taliban comes from the term “talib” or “student”.
The paki establishment including its military/intelligence in the ’80s recruited clueless students from local madrassas in pakistan, trained and outfitted them under the control of retired paki army officers, and then pushed them into Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. Bhutto was just a Radcliffe-educated dumb pawn in all of this.
Pakistan’s obsessive survival strategy has always been to politically control Afghanistan and create in it a strategic depth for itself in case of a losing war with India.
Cue in forty years of never ending mayhem in Afghanistan starting from the Soviets, connect the dots with the creation of al qaeda and isis, and current factional fighting in the Gulf, and it all leads to pakistan’s ISI (its military intelligence group). It is a state within a state.
Pakistan has played both sides to great financial gains. It charges all sorts of fees to support the west’s war in Afghanistan, and continues to arm the taliban. In return, pakistan continues to extract blood money and funding through blackmail. Today, it is a bankrupt, nuclear state.
As someone famously said, pakistan only negotiates with a gun pointed to its own head.

Hi, CRUSADER. Pakistan has certainly had *far* worse PMs, but Bhutto was hardly the “moderate” that many had hoped–although she was not orthodox enough for the Jihadists who murdered her, of course.
Here was a piece at Jihad Watch at the time of her murder:
“Benazir Bhutto: Killed by the real Pakistan”

That picture of imran khan?
Is..is.. he trying to tell us something about islam like Linda Sarsour loves to give those polytheistic infidel christians the islamic finger to tell them about tawhid,the ONENESS of allah?
The ONENESS of allah with his…ONE leg,his TWO RIGHT HANDS and his THREE pagan godess daughters k53 v 19-20.
It must be allah’s TWO RIGHT HANDS{sahih muslim1827}he’s telling us about:or maybe he’s singing a song about allah..
“he wants the whole world..in his TWO RIGHT HANDS,he wants the whole world..”
BTW If you are Hindu you might like to ask the muslims to explain how and why allah has TWO RIGHT HANDS…

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was once a great cricketer and batsman but now he has turned into yet another irresponsible and dangerous Islamic poilitician.
Infidel says
Sorta the same way that John McCain was once upon a time a true conservative, as was Mitch McConnell.
Imran Khan hasn’t been a cricketer since he retired in 1991: he switched to politics, and finally became prime minister last year b’cos Pakistan was sick of both the Bhuttos and the Shariefs
Hindu American says
Im the Dim (a term coined by Salman Rushdie to describe Imran Khan) may have been an above par cricketer but he was also called out for blatantly cheating in the international tournaments. Later on he was caught cheating on his many wives.
Goes with the territory of being a paki.
Peter WF says
He’s just after votes. No worries about the west still sending foreign aid.
Infidel says
He got elected THIS year: the next election is way off. No, he’s just pissed that India did its repeal of Article 370 before he could step up a diplomatic campaign on Kashmir after his US visit
. says
He assumed office on the 18th of August last year, you prick.
Infidel says
Fine, 1 year. Still has 4 more years to go. Unlike Bhutto or Sharief, he knows that the military has to be kept happy, and once gave the explanation that since he’s so morally perfect, the army wouldn’t dare launch a coup against him

Indian are terrorist and Modi is the biggest terrorist of all times who is their leader and is killing people in Kashmir with the help of one million soldiers over there because they are Muslims and want their independent state of Kashmir. International community should stop this genocide in Kashmir otherwise nuclear war between India and Pakistan is imminent which will be a biggest chaos affecting the whole world.
marc says
you might want to check your facts, a few beatings (amazing how they do that without breaking bones) but not a single death in kashmir since Modi corrected kashmir’s status. I hear the jihadis are showing videos of other events to recruit more for the 72 virgin express.
Looks like the Indians are correctly managing the threat using IDF tactics, limited casualties, causing the savages to invent their own, victimhood is not going to work there, live by indian law and move on with your life.
Even the bbc is not playing along with the lies this time https://theweek.com/speedreads/862066/kashmir-residents-say-indian-security-forces-tortured-beat
Infidel says
India now has 200 million Muslims, and only 5 million of them are in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh combined. If India wanted to do a genocide of Muslims, wouldn’t it be easier to start at home, where their power is unchallenged? Forget international community – even your ummah can’t get behind opposing the Chinese on the real persecution of Uighurs, and you want them to give India the third degree?
Only problem – their era of swimming in oil money is over, w/ the US now the largest oil exporter. China now has huge alternate sources from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, so needs less from the Middle East, and India, which was forced to take Iran and Venezuela off, is buying it from US and Russia. Which is why the Gulf Arab states don’t want to lose even the limited oil sales they have left, and so they’ve made it a point to either support India (like UAE) or stay at best neutral (Saudi Arabia).
infidel says
Ps tell us,, in fact do the honor of enlightening us as to the list of non Muslim lands all over the world that Islam claims as its own… When will U start claiming Greenland and Antarctica.. So far not a single Muslim lives there… ??
