Obama offered to pressure India over Kashmir if Pakistan stopped supporting jihadis — Pakistan refused
Yet another crystal clear indication that Pakistan is not an ally of the United States. Yet Obama continues to court them, and continues to pour jizya into their coffers. In a sane society, the U.S. would conclude a counter-jihad alliance with India. “Barack Obama’s secret offer to Pakistan over Kashmir, claims book,” from the Press […]
Pakistan: Nearly 60% of those acquitted of terror charges have rejoined jihad groups or are active in other “anti-state activities”
This is because nothing was done to disabuse them of the belief system that motivated their jihad activity, since so many Pakistani authorities hold to that belief system themselves.

Pakistan: Muslim cleric who taught Taliban leader Mullah Omar calls him a “devout Muslim”
Now wait a minute. The Taliban are supposed to be a group of “extremists,” twisting and hijacking the true Islam and propagating the crazy idea that it justifies violence and terrorism.
