The Militant Mullah and Pakistan

That is good. Hope to see more stuff in the future from you.

I can provide you them on request through PM, otherwise, I try to avoid people like Barakzai, who mock writers because of their surnames or if they are not Muslim, I am sure you are aware of that, its just unecessary headache.

keep sources private in your hard drive and avoid criticism.
Though fools can censure others, they cannot live free of reproach themselves.

no offense, but not presenting references because of fear of being ridiculed or made fun of is not an excuse. Without references, then you're essentially presenting historical fiction. Other words it's just propaganda and intellectually dishonest.

And if by sir names and religion we mean Farhat Taj Andersen as a reference, her religion and last name aren't what discredit her, the problem with her is her source material for her claims cannot be independently verified.

Well in regards to Farhat Taj, I gave her a lot of resources when I returned back from Waziristan in 2009, and I gave her a lot of video material and interviews of people in Waziristan, I went to Makin market before it was flattened, and interviewed three people, one middle aged man, a young guy and a elder male.

I have the references, saved, if you want them, kindly pm, and I will give you them, I just find it intellectually insulting having a honest written article by me, being insulted by trolls who will mock my hard work by using the names of the authors of books, I am sure you are aware of this culture.

Sure so what all your hot air distills down to is propaganda devoid of proof. The reason why taj ANDERSONs credentials, ideologies, background and name matter is because she repeatedly claims to speak for pashtuns. The hilarious thing is that if you and her are the best of what the marxists have, with your meritless, proof lacking work... Boy oh boy are your ilk in trouble.

You were her inspiration??? Do you see how much of an embarrassment you are to your cause? Multiple people have now asked you to validate your assertions and your response? No because Barakzai will ridicule them. Boy, did you ever read Admins sticky asking people to substantiate rhetoric with references? Do you know why he did that? It's because there's mentally slow people like you on here that are writing action fiction and under the belief that the isi is under your bed. Go find that durrani character and get some DNA sample. Otherwise I think the moderators are obligated to put your work under the creative essay writing section. You just embarrassed your whole cause today

that's fine only if you don't mind me publicly examining them

[Soldat_Amir]

Don't worry I am sure the authors are not Zionists who want to divide the Ummah.

Dont worry, he wont surrender them over. So your time wont be wasted. Note his attempt to divert the subject here... like a little British school girl he used the "I wont play with you anymore threat... and I wont write anymore threat."

Its like he thinks we are Beatles fans and he is John Lennon, threatening never to write again.

Salam respected PF members,

I would highly appreciate it if a source can be added when you make a claim or attempt to state a fact, Not only would it improve our readership, It would also give respect to the person who has put enormous research behind the source. On addition to that, It would also add more weight to your claim/argument.


Thank you very much, I hope you take my request into consideration.

I have added the references. I will expect the usual, Zionist, Closet Jew, enemy of Islam, Christian sure name from the likes of Barakzai and his Pro Pak friends.

Thats not how you reference you dolt.

We have to be able to trace the points you make to the sources. You cannot simply list a set of random texts and expect your audience to sift through volumes to find the basis for your statement.

The correct manner is as follows:

Soldat Amir looks like a crusty eastern european jew, and many have alleged this may explain his beliefs (1). However, he was not born in Eastern Europe or Israel. According to birth records he was born in Peshawar Hospital (2). Additionally, he had DNA studies run that show Y chromosomal lineage tracing to Keiv (3). Soldat bristled at he suggestion he was born in Peshawar, instead, insisting he was born in Cambridge hospital at one point (4) but contradicted himself and subsequently claimed he was born in the chicken chowk in Miranshah (5). Tribesmen had never heard of him and disowned him frequently per an interview conducted by Peter bergen (6)

Dude, your anti ISI movement is really in trouble if you are the best that your movement has. Right when you posted that you had placed the sources, I started going through the article and couldnt find a single one.

Now your grade is as follows:

A for effort and creative writing and D- for adequate sourcing.

Here is one of the most revered and accepted texts on teaching students in academia on how to reference.... I hope this helps you, you illiterate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bedford_Handbook

http://libguides.csuchico.edu/citingsources

"A citation is a record of where you encountered a certain idea. If you read an article for and want to incorporate the ideas that article presents into a piece of coursework for one of your classes, you need to document the fact that you are borrowing an idea from someone else.
Whenever you cite an idea in the text of a paper you are working on, you note it in the text. This will be done with either a footnote or in parentheses, depending upon which style you use.
You also generate an alphabetical list of all the works you cite in your paper. When you are finished writing, this list goes at the end of your paper."
