“Let not the believers take unbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoever does that has no connection with Allah unless you are guarding yourselves against them, taking security. Allah bids you to beware of him. To Allah is the journeying.” (Qur’an 3:28)
It doesn’t apply to Pakistan-India relations, but there is also this: “O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends of one another. He among you who takes them for friends is of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.” (Qur’an 5:51)
“Baffled by India-Afghanistan ties, Pak Army invokes Quran, says Muslims shouldn’t befriend ‘kaafirs,'” Firstpost, August 2, 2026:
Pakistan Army’s chief military spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, has triggered a fresh controversy after invoking a Quranic verse while responding to recent remarks by an Afghan Taliban minister who said India and Afghanistan “share the same DNA” because of their historical and cultural ties.
Speaking at an official press conference in Rawalpindi, Chaudhry referred to a Quranic verse which, according to his interpretation, says Muslims should not befriend kaafirs (disbelievers).
His comments, made while discussing the Afghan minister’s statement, quickly gained traction on social media, where a clip of the exchange was widely shared.
The remarks came during a broader media briefing on Pakistan’s counter-terrorism operations, the security situation in Balochistan, ties with Afghanistan and Islamabad’s repeated allegations that India supports militant violence inside Pakistan. India has consistently rejected those allegations.
Responding to the Afghan minister’s remarks on India-Afghanistan ties, Chaudhry said people claiming such closeness with India and Hindus raised questions, in his view, about adherence to Islamic principles.
He sought to distinguish between the Afghan people and the Taliban administration, saying ordinary Afghans were suffering under Taliban rule and should not be equated with the regime.
Questioning the Taliban’s conduct, Chaudhry said its treatment of women and children and the issuance of religious decrees permitting violence against Muslims had “no connection with Islam.”
He then cited a Quranic verse, saying Muslims should not take kaafirs as their friends or protectors, and argued that the issue went beyond the Afghan minister’s “DNA” remark….
Islam is bad says
Pakistan is no friend of the West.
Pakistani Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry is the latest to reveal the hatred Muslims have of the West.
Until Pakistan renounces Islam and renounces Jihad, diplomatic, military, cultural and economic constraints should be placed on Pakistan.
Pakistan should receive no Western aid.
Pakistan should not be permitted to receive Western military equipment.
A trade embargo should be placed upon Pakistan by the West.
Pakistan students should not be permitted to study in Western countries.
Pakistan citizens should not be granted visas to visit Western countries.
The Pakistan national cricket team should not be permitted to play any Western cricket team in any format of cricket, including England, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, regardless whether the game occurs in Pakistan, the host Western nation or a neutral territory, such as UAE.
Pakistan needs to decide whose side they are on.

they “should” but the heads of state of Western Civilization are too cowardly to act in such a way

He exposed the heart of islam. You put your forehead to the mat or you are their blood enemy. Thomas Jefferson realized this, stopped attempts at negotiating with what he realized were liars (see Taqiyya) and he used military force to destroy the dominate muslim presence, the Barbary Coast human traffickers.
Raja says
Pakistan or for that matters Muzzies don’t just have odious hatred towards infidels it is most often murderous or supporting Sharia/Satanic lust for blood of infidels and all that is of infidels. Most of 57 OIC countries with huge Muslim populations are clamoring for the Satanic/evil Sharia. In countries like Qatar 86 percent of population wants Sharia. Now imagine how far it is divorced with the West and yet the foolish elites of the West would love to join them together.
