According to Bruce Riedel, the former CIA official whom President Barack Obama had entrusted with the responsibility of giving shape to his Afghanistan strategy, there is no full-proof guarantee against Pakistan transferring US technology to its advantage against India. Riedel warned India in an interview to TOI that military assistance provided for one purpose can be “inherently” used for another purpose or adversary because it is “fungible” in nature. Riedel made the statement even as he added that Washington will look into all allegations of transfer of American technology provided to Pakistan. Pakistan has been pleading with the US for transferring crucial weapon technologies being used in the war on terror, including drones, to it to help it deal, as it says, effectively with terrorists operating out of its territory on the western border. India has been keeping its fingers crossed that the US will not share drone or any similarly lethal weapon technology with Pakistani agencies and Riedel’s statement, coming as it does from the man who headed the White House committee which reviewed the US’ Afghanistan strategy after Obama took over as president, will only heighten the concern. “The US will investigate allegations of technology transfer of American equipment provided to Pakistan thoroughly,” Riedel

Gave millions to Pakistani politicians, reveals ISI
The revelation was made by Pakistan’s former chief justice Saeeduz Zaman Siddiqui, who said this case was still pending with the country’s Supreme Court since 1999.

Siddiqui told the channel that he had said at that time that ISI’s role should not political. He said Lt Gen (retd.) Durrani had filed a written affidavit on July 24, 1994, claiming he had government’s complete clearance on the money distribution and had opened a number of bank accounts in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Quetta and a sum of Rs 140 million transferred to him as special fund.

At the end of Century Europion contries will be Muslim nations
Note: I have no feelling wahtsoever against Islam, please dont see this post as anti islam post.
At the end of century Europe will be Group of Muslim Contries, this thing may seem as dream today, but the way muslim populations is growing, indicates that it will be fact in future. Years before Muslims came to europe due to different reasons, like business, Violance of other muslim community, for piece,etc. It creates problem if in any contry populations from other contry increases.
In one of the documenty from americal historian Burnard Lewis told that, One day Europe will be colored in Islam color, till the end of this century Islamism will be having majority over Europe. There are many reason why muslims are growing in europe. Like muslims form other contries are goingt o eurpoe, Scholars from contries like pakistan and bangladesh moves to europe because of the violance in their own contry. At then end those scholars are helpful to europe, but they will be counted while muslim population will be counted. And they feel its their duty to bring other muslims to eupore once they get settled in europe. Other important reason is that muslims have got more fertility rate then original europians, so they can produce more childrens. There is no such rule of max 2 children in europe. The muslims in eurpoe are very rich and they are highly educated. Though their count at present is less, but at times when they need to show united power, they have opposed government policies on open. They have forwarded their oppose message to other contries in open.
Contriversies about 'Burkha' and 'Dupattas' are very common in europe, there are many times cases in europian courts, and at such time Muslim community seems more organized. World got shoked when they saw around 10 lacks muslim's anti-war rally when america attacked Irak. 802 peoples got killed on 11th march,2004 in bomb explosin by Muslim terrorists, A movie director who made movie about the violance help on muslim women by muslim community was killed by a dutch muslim, Terroris attacks in peris and france hasnt been forgotten till date.
Above activities shows that terrorism is hidden in europe itself, and peoplse who help those are also in europe. And it is believed that along with population increase such activities will be increase.
Though in europian contries today muslims are not in command, but as their population will grow they will ask for their special rights. Its not that europian government is not doing anything for that, but they are helpless as muslim stays with permenant residency status. And along with increase in such population, europian contries have to follow islamic laws.
Note: I have nothing against islamism, but yes terrorism should not be tolared in any religion, let it be muslims or hindus or christians. Plesae comment on post if you think my thinking is wrong.
