What Ms. Merkel is doing is a step in the right direction.  But supplying of arsenal to the Kurds or to the Iraqis is a temporary solution to this arduous long run ideological problem.  The idea is not to win this on-going battle between the ISIS and other non-Suni Muslims.  The aim is to eradicate this 6th century fanatical Muslim ideology. These fanatics are openly threatening to kill all Christians or should I say all non-Muslims.  I believe that this threat should not be taken lightly by any civilized government.  These Muslims are misusing the tents of their respective Constitutions towards liberty of speech and freedom to practice their religion literally.  They have found the weak link of western nations which is to respect the dignity of each individual, treat all human beings with respect and grant them equal rights under their Constitutions.  That is the reason they are outspoken in the European and American cities.  It may be true that under the Constitutions of civilized western nations, respective governments are not allowed to take any legal action unless these fundamentalists get involved in a terrorist activities which might entail death of individuals or destruction of properties.  But the leaders of the western nations have to bear in mind that if these brain washed people are allowed to speak anti-national slogans and threaten openly to the rest of the people, the time will come that they will over power the mind of lot of innocent people  by converting them to Islam.  We have so many cases in front of us right now where lot of westerners have joined the ISIS forces and they will not hesitate to slaughter the non-Sunis on a heart beat.  Therefore, the sources of proliferation of this fanatical ideology needs to be stopped and eradicated.  Simple way of eradicating this problem is to change the Constitutions to the effect that anybody making any anti-national statements will be treated as a traitor and punished accordingly.  Secondly, deport all illegal Muslims to their respect countries.  European and American leaders ought to take a cue from the Australians on this issue.  Australian leaders told to all Muslims either they should abide by their local laws if they want to live in Australia or they have a choice to get out of that country.   If Australia can do it why cann't European and American leaders follow suit.  If your Constitution consists of some old time clauses about this issue which may not be pertinent now with the change of time, it needs to be changed.  Constitution remains a piece of paper if it allows these radical elements to grow and become conducive for the Christians to lose their country.  If you lose your country to these fanatics, what good is that Constitution?  IT IS AN OPPORTUNE TIME FOR THE EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN LEADERS TO WAKE UP AND ERADICATE THE PROLIFERATION OF THIS RADICALISM, EVEN IF IT REQUIRES AN ANNIHILATION OF ALL THE PROPONENTS OF THIS IDEOLOGY.

This open challenge to the Christians or should I say to all non-Muslims by the either convert or Suni Muslims is a threat which should not be taken lightly by any civilized government.  These Muslims are misusing the tents of their respective Constitutions towards liberty of speech and freedom to practice their religion literally.  They have found the weak link of western nations which is to respect the dignity of each individual, treat all human beings with respect and grant them equal rights under their Constitutions.  That is the reason they are outspoken in the European and American cities.  It may be true that under the Constitutions of civilized western nations, respective governments are not allowed to take any legal action unless these fundamentalists get involved in a terrorist activities which might entail death of individuals or destruction of properties.  But the leaders of the western nations have to bear in mind that if these brain washed people are allowed to speak anti-national slogans and threaten openly to the rest of the people, the time will come that they will over power the mind of lot of innocent people  by converting them to Islam.  We have so many cases in front of us right now where lot of westerners have joined the ISIS forces and they will not hesitate to slaughter the non-Sunis on a heart beat.  Therefore, the sources of proliferation of this fanatical ideology needs to be stopped and eradicated.  Simple way of eradicating this problem is to change the Constitutions to the effect that anybody making any anti-national statements will be treated as a traitor and punished accordingly.  Secondly, deport all illegal Muslims to their respect countries.  European and American leaders ought to take a cue from the Australians on this issue.  Australian leaders told to all Muslims either they should abide by their local laws if they want to live in Australia or they have a choice to get out of that country.   If Australia can do it why cann't European and American leaders follow suit.  If your Constitution consists of some old time clauses about this issue which may not be pertinent now with the change of time, it needs to be changed.  Constitution remains a piece of paper if it allows these radical elements to grow and become conducive for the Christians to lose their country.  If you lose your country to these fanatics, what good is that Constitution?  IT IS AN OPPORTUNE TIME FOR THE EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN LEADERS TO WAKE UP AND ERADICATE THE PROLIFERATION OF THIS RADICALISM, EVEN IF IT REQUIRES AN ANNIHILATION OF ALL THE PROPONENTS OF THIS IDEOLOGY.

Any time there is a problem, fight or misunderstanding between two parties, there are a few ways to improve the relationship and they are either via. exchange of dialogues, exchange of cultural programs, development of economic environment and diplomacy.  What Ms. Kejiwal is doing a step in the right direction, but it is not a course of action which has not been tested before.  To make a long story short, Indian Bollywood has provided lot of economic opportunities to the Pakistani actors on a continuous basis.  Indian government has also attempted to ameliorate a bilateral relationship through Samjhotta bus service between India and Pakistan.  Lots of summit meetings have also taken place between the high officials of both countries since the birth of Pakistan, India and Pakistan have tried to award a Most Favored Nation status to each other.  Unfortunately, nothing has worked.  The situation between these two countries is worse than what they had started with in 1947.  Now, I do not mean to sound like a frustrated and pessimistic individual, rather I believe in keeping a positive attitude under all circumstances with the hope that some miracle will happen.  Ms. Bahree, in my opinion, India has done whatever it could by extending an olive branch to the Pakistani government many a times to reduce the trust deficit, but all in vain.  The main reason of this failure is the nexus of Pakistani army/ISI.  Pakistani army will never forget what India did to them in 1971 with the creation of now Bangladesh.  Needless to say, in that war Pakistan lost half of its nation and its military was humiliated to the extent they cann't forget.  Therefore, the Pakistani army will never let the civilian government in Islamabad sign and accept any proposal with India which will go against the interest of the former.  One can exchange dialogues, sign agreement and try to help reducing the trust deficit when both parties are free of any duress.  In the case of India and Pakistan,  the latter is under pressure from the nexus stated above and the hands of the civilian government in Islamabad are tied behind their back.  Therefore, no matter how aggressively Indian government and/or private parties attempt via diplomacy and social or cultural media, one ought not to expect any miracle to happen, at least not in the near future.  This is my opinion.

It is very interesting that the Saudi King is afraid of fanaticism and militant policies pursued by the ISIS.  They are butchering the non-Suni people with full impunity - beheading them, making them slaves and playing with the honor of females.  Ironically, the Saudi King is advising the western nations to fight against those who have hijacked Islam.  I just cann't help but laugh at the vulnerable situation the Saudi King feels himself in.  Instead of displaying his sense of fear, the King ought to admit that the forceful implementation of Sharia Law emanated from Wahabism, a 6th century law fully financed and supported by his forefathers.  It was and has been the Saudi Petro dollars which is promoting Wahibism through Madrassas in Pakistan and other Muslim countries.  It was the petro dollars which brain washed yesterday's children through these madrassas and those children have become today's martyrs. It is his family - Saudi Kingdom- which has hijacked Islam and no one else.  So, what is happening in front of his eyes is his family's own doing.  As the saying goes 'as you sow so shall you reap.  The whole world is witnessing slaughtering of innocent human beings every day.  Thanks to the Saudi Kingdom.  I think it is an opportune time for the King to make an announcement to stop abetting, financing and promoting all religious activities which help the ideology of killing of innocent people, spread hatred among other religions, rather work for establishing peace and tranquility in the world.  Hopefully, when he meets his Allah, the latter may forgive him for his sins.

The decision by the Qatar government sounds very ironical.  First, they funneled the pertro dollars to abet, finance and organize the Hamas force to fight against Israel knowing fully well that the arsenal possessed by Hamas is not even  near the capability and capacity of what Israel Defence Force (IDF) has in store.  The outcome of  a few weeks battle between IDF and Hamas is a clear indication of what was expected of this struggle.  Hamas has lost couple of thousands of their people in addition to many injured.  This is in addition to lots of property damage - many score of buildings have been razed to ground.  One wonders if this was a calculated move on the part of Qatar government to excite Hamas and have them witness the killing of innocent people and the destruction of property or was it just a sheer stupidity of not being able to sense the fire power Israel possessed to face a few thousand hired Hamas force.  Now, the Qatar government is ready to spend petro dollars to reconstruct the damaged buildings.  Did Hamas and Qatar government achieve anything which they should be proud of ?  No wise man will see any sense coming out of this venture.  Yes, it would have made sense for the Qatar government to invest the same petro dollars to construct schools in the Gaza area for the Palestinian population where people could get some education and be productive for the country instead of raising flags and get themselves killed.  It is a waste of human lives and man power.  Unfortunately, the majority of Muslim population is so uneducated that they do not even realize that they are being used by the leaders as sacrificial lambs Their brains have been instilled with the religious fervor to the extent that their individual thinking has been hijacked.  Their leaders are sitting in a posh air conditioned bungalows enjoying their lives at the expense of poor people in the streets.  Instead of demanding good schools where children can get educated and be competitive in the global economy, they are following the marching orders of their leaders blindly.  I wonder when the Muslim population which is being exploited by the leaders and Sheikhs come to its senses.

A decision to provide government security to a private citizen, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan, sounds a strange act on the part of local government.  Rather, should I say that it is a mere waste and wrongful use of national resources.  I understand the fear and security of a life of an individual, but why the local government is treating him a VIP person just because he is a Bollywood star and a rich person.  I wonder if tomorrow a poor man gets threatened by any of the Mumbai goons, would the local government be ready to spare a few security personnel to watch his house and protect his life.  Definitely not.  So, is it then by protecting Mr. Khan and not worrying about the life of a poor man who is equally threatened by the goons, the local government is differentiating the value of one's life from the other?   If Mr. Khan is threatened for whatever reason by the mobster, he has the means to protect himself.  Why does local government has to get involved in this matter?  If the central or state governments just think of rich and Bollywood stars only, the nation will be left behind.  The main purpose of both the governments ought to be to protect and uplift the less fortunate, educate them, create jobs for them and make sure that they are made to realize that their lives are equally important as the lives of Bollywood stars.

The tussle and rift between India and Pakistan is beyond repair precisely due to the reason lies with the Pakistani military.  Pakistani military is the supreme authority in Pakistan as far as its relationship with India is concerned.  In order to maintain its prestige, military will not like to see any improvement in this bilateral relationship.  Whenever, there is any initiative taken by either the government in Islamabad or New Delhi to improve these ties, one witnesses a turmoil or ceasefire violation on the LOC.  I can equate relationship between India and Pakistan with the situation in the Middle East - Jews and Palestinians- and North and South Korea.  The hatred for each other has been flowing in their blood streams.  Kashmir issue is not the real issue between India and Pakistan.  Pakistan military with the support of its non-state actors in Pakistan and separatists in J & K ( part of India) has been keeping this issue alive to maintain its importance and divert an attention of local Pakistanis away from its failed economic policies.  Pakistan could not manage and handle the territory it received in 1947.  They have already lost half the area during 1971 war which gave birth to Bangladesh.  The rest of 4 Provinces - Sindh, Panjab, Balochistan and KP - are in turmoil and innocent people are being slaughtered on a daily basis which shows devoid of ability and capacity of the Islamabad government to mange the remaining territory.  Therefore, an ambition to acquire more territory via. Kashmir is baseless.  The only way to solve this Kashmir riddle is by dismantling the Pakistani army by launching a full scale war, and winner takes all.
