ISI on a roll???

Or should we set our priorities straight and focus on the RD case at the mo?

After all who is to say all US citizens on our soil are CIA/contract killers? There might be scores of US citizens out here not trying to sell sensitive/secretive materials to terrorist entities.

Only time will tell. Lets hope we have enough of 'it' before the US tries to bomb us back to the ice age.

How so?

Are you trying to suggest that by adopting a muslim name ie Haroon in this case means that he is trying to affiliate himself to the arab kindred?

[vinod2070]

^^ Its an Arab name. What is Muslim about it?

Or Arab and Muslim are synonymous?
