Slowly Turkish soft power is rising in Pakistan which should slowly squeeze Saudi influence which gained traction since late 1970s oil boom. The Turkish series Ertrugul has been shown on national PTV and has been a hit.

What are you on about? Most of the terrorism is rooted to present/past political instability or war. Note the teenager who beheaded the teacher in France was Chechen and we all know what happened there in late 1990s. Ditto Af-Pak border and the Soviet Jihad.

That is factually incorrect. If your British would you have drawn the flawed conclustion "Catholicism has a problem with terrorism"? from the Troubles? The reality is some communities who are Muslim have been injected with radicalsm which itself was let loose in the geo-politics of Cold War...

Happy Republic Day to Turks.

The most vile human being that lived from my perspective. There are plenty of other vile creatures but non have effected my life then this cnut. Most of you guys are young. But what if I told you when growing up in UK in 1970s/80s "terrorism" was the last thing you associated with Muslims. That...

Trust me Imran Khan is a man who has lived more than half his life in the West and understands the issues. He has never supported such acts. But he is desperately trying to find a medium between the both worlds. It's not easy to placate millions of radicals that now roam the world. Jihadism was...

I think let's talk about that on another thread but agree to condemn this heinous crime without any resrvations or "buts". Only sick minds can wake up today and just go and kill. Let's call these people for what they are. Murderers. Criminals. That need locking up for life. Nothing can possibly...

Let all Muslim's, Christian's or people of no faith just deplore and condemn these vile, cowardly acts. There is no space in civilized society for such behaviour. @Vergennes

This Indian loving Hindutwa basket just lives off raking this crap. Feeds on this like a low life. It's his full time job. Like rats get attracted to rubbish this guy is same.

Everybody has to get together and do something about this. I really look back with nostalgia to the 1980s and a world where "terrorism" was associated with Irish, or Basque, or German Red Faction of Baader Meinhof and other radical left groups. All this just fuels the far right.

Nice attack: Mayor says deadly stabbing points to terrorism Three people have been killed in a knife attack in the French city of Nice, police say. Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said everything pointed to a "terrorist attack at the heart of the Notre-Dame basilica". Police said one woman had...

Unfortunately my dear friend liberty has limits and often is trammeled. As a Frenchman I dare you to deny the Holocaust. The Gayssot Act or Gayssot Law (French: Loi Gayssot), enacted on 13 July 1990, makes it an offense in France to question the existence or size of the category of crimes...

It took Europe nearly 2,000 years of Anti-Semetism [lest we forget this term was coined for the cultural, religious, political, institutional hatred of the "Jew". Various works of European literature are laced with Anti-Semetism. This whole hatred and failure between the Jews and European...

I am from Hazara region [not to be mistaken for Hazara people who are found primarily in Quetta, Balochistan] is very mixed. If you look at a map you will see it realy is a collision zone between west, north and east. There are layers on layers of population and without doubt there will be...

Correction: Modest.

My mum actually, normally does not have headscarf on her head but has a scarf [dopatta] that is made of very thin semi-transparent matarial which is draped around her neck but will place it on her head in some circumstances. This is more or less same with my wife but my daughter does not have a...

This whole subject probably deserves a thread but female clothing is a emotive issue. Personally I find burqa a instrument of female abuse but equally I find young girls walking out of a nearby Catholic Primary school wearing mini-skirts abuse. I can't quite fathom the logic of both ends of...

That ban was important. In theory the notion of having freedom to wear hijab etc is all fine but what happens is pressure is placed on girls to wear it. So in fact for most the freedom becomes curtailed. They have to wear it or they get called all sort of names. My sister faced this so know what...

Off topic: I spent most of my life helping people to screw HMRC [UK government revenue service] and the bizzare thing. My son has just got a job with HMRC as senior tax specialist. So he has gone "on other side of the fence". Imagine the irony. @Yankeestani
