Here come the Pakistani nukes

[Baron von Lotsov]

Nukes can make a big bang, but they are not as powerful as the hype had them to be, like one nuke would not wipe us out. Pakistan is not the most sophisticated of countries and nor that rich, so a Pakistani nuke would be much like an Indian Rolex. If they ever did send one over anywhere they would get whacked so badly that Pakistan would be no more as a sovereign nation. The world against Pakistan would see Pakistan kaput. Anyhow the game is more one of stealth. If you have a nuke heading your way you'd want to send something up to shoot it down. It's a matter of which manages to fool the other.

So...



As far as I can make out ....



Back in the mists of time the Moslems invaded India, razed a Hindu temple to the ground, built a mosque on it and carried on as normal for their cult...



Until 1949



Uncle Tom's journal doesn't have anything to say about this, which is odd considering he was on the last hospital ship out with the rest of his former wartime RAMC unit who deployed through the Suez Canal after the North Africa campaign ended, and arrived at the British base where they ran the hospital JUST in time to see the fall of the British Raj and the slaughter that was partition....



But it seems in 1949 the Hindus did a bit of "Ram Raiding" installing an image of their Lord Ram in the building and the row has rumbled on since.



It seems a recent development has seen the Hindus presumably boosted by the BJP political success, raze the mosque, giving the Moslems a bit of their own treatment back, and while the legal wrangles continued, people cleaning up the mess found archaeological evidence of the Hindu temple the Moslems destroyed.



And now the court has given the Hindu "Ram" raiders ownership of the site and ruled the Moslems should be told to build something somewhere else.



I'm off to make some popcorn. This won't end well.

I don't have a problem with Muslims building as mosques as they like, I would just rather they weren't build on this planet though

It sounds like a sensible and balanced decision by the courts. Who could possibly deny that? Not the religion of peace, surely?
