if a Muslim Union (or even a country the size of Pakistan) talks on these lines, and displays an image of solitude, strength, awareness and due/existent capacity, it basically puts us in a very, very, very strong position.
No, it doesn’t. It isolates us, labels us a rogue nation. We need to survive and thrive in a global economy. Threatening them is not the prudent course of action.
if things are not handled in accordance with human rights and common sense.
Are you backtracking for your earlier missive? You suggested that we should drop nuclear bombs on India and Israel. Not threaten; just do it. Is that your vision of common sense? Forget about the human rights!
Your views are idealistic; not practical. There is nothing wrong with having a dream of world domination by Muslim autocracy; realistically, it is not going to happen.
So the aim is to basically strengthen our position, because right now Muslims (25% of global population) are in a very weak state with no internal coordination and management of any applaudable position, so we need to change that.
You are stating the obvious; any sane person will tell you that. Your solution of total annihilation to achieve this objective is what bothers me. Threatening the established powerbase with empty rhetoric is neither prudent nor fruitful.
We have tried forming coalitions and united fronts in the past to almost no avail. The world we live in has certain, very harsh, realities. We need to acknowledge them, as they are, and then devise a strategy which benefits us, the Pakistanis, in particular and Muslims in general.
