State and ReligionBy: M Naqqaad | Wednesday , 17 Dec '08 13:42:21 PM Reply | Forward Going by the practice here, the Pak rep should have asked for the Hindu establishment in India as such.

They are not finding a new market for their ideology- so try to advertise in the last remaining market- India and the deoband school in the hope of netting new recruits.If this fails then they will at least try to forge pan islamic ties with the mullah's across the border in the hope of creating problems in the future.They'll never give up on this.
