Anyone thinking that UAE is serious of these Arabs can do anything such as snubbing Pakistan (because they are already teaching Pakistan a lesson: UAE by supporting terrorists in Balochistan and KSA, Kuwait supportingg TTP and other extremist elements) then he do not know them…
This is not 1st time Arabs or KSA have asked Pakistan to provide them with military support against Iran, they did it back in 1980s when Iran vs Iraq war game was on, they wanted Pakistan to engage Iran from Pakistan side, the military regime back then also said something similar that is, we would protect KSA against any invasion and thats about it and send some troops to Saudi… which remained there for very long time… at that time, Kuwait said something similar to what UAE said, that time they got tit for tat reply…
Now, almost same scenario, and UAE.. what is UAE after OIL… a desert land or a fish market at best.. same thing for Kuwait.. 2030 and Kuwait is worst than Bahrain..
I guess Pakistan (Not Now) should raise issue of UAE supporting terrorism in Pakistan at UNO… this will put UAE in right place..
The Present UAE king is shaitan-sift person, he have real bad intentions about Oman and is trying its best to merge them with UAE.. he tried it in 2010-11 and he is going to do so again…
After Yemen, Oman would be the next battle ground for this so-called GCC braves who are scared to hell from Yemennies and calling all world for their support.. Sultan Qaboos of Oman is old and is sick… once he falls, Saudi and UAE are going to play a real dirty game in Oman to have a Sultan or their choice to protect their interest.
I dont think UAE can invade Oman, as the latter are good fighters…and UAE as we know it are the lazy ones.
Omanis are Ibadis, dont know more about this sect. Considering the sectarian nature of the middle east might at some stage the GCC might want to take action. But with militias etc on all borders of Saudia and UAE I dont know how long they’ll stay immune from the repercussions?
The Mother of King of UAE (ruler of Abu Dhabi) belong or was born in Sohar ( a border city), this coward have no army nor balls to invade OMAN because Omanies can push him back from where he came to this world… and thats where conspiracies came in… that area is full of Balochs… who are Omani Nationals and known for their drugs trade,he is financing terrorist elements in those areas and is in waiting for Sultan to Pass… so that he can play his dirty game… rumors are that People of Sohar want to Join the United Arab Emirates and want to become one more emirate of UAE… samething is with one more state of Oman…
And yes Omanies are Ibadi, well majority of them… and The MUSLIMS of UAE don’t pray behind them and thinks that they are close to Shias… which i think is not true… and interesting thing is, people of Sohar are mostly Sunni.. so you see, there is a foundation..
and precedent for that is being (at least trying) setting up in Yemen… we do not like the internal change/shift of power, because the new potential ruler are not in my interest… so lets invade them and get someone who can be our dolly…
That UAE minister is openly insulting Pakistani and these idiots are supporting… these guys are getting funds from these countries and have murdered countless people in mosques… these EX SSP and now ASWJ are terrorist who are being funded by arabs to create menace..
i even have doubt that ASWJ were behind the attack on cricket team to ban cricket from Pakistan so that UAE grounds can be used… we can see their dirty games in Gawadar
This is exactly where the issue is, the Arabs have started looking at everything in the terms of sects. I have seen Omanis pray which I found closer to Shias, but that’s by the by (since it does not matter) . IN short they are different as compared to the rest. The Arabs are dividing their countries on sectarian basis, I dont know what will happen when these divisions hit their own homes. KSA’s Oil rich East is Shia majority as well. At the moment these countries would prefer shady terrorist organizations ruling swathes of areas as long as they can keep at bay those who they dont like. At a certain point of time they’ll need protection from the same people they are promoting now, and no one will be able to save them then from them.
Gulf News has learned from Pakistani sources that Islamabad’s decision was taken on the pretext of “current threats to Pakistan itself because of the Kashmir conflict, India’s growing defence capabilities and the situation on the Iran border.”
They do know but dont believe its a valid excuse. I.e. they dont give a hoot.
Two interesting facts;
1- ale saud asked only for sunni soldiers from pakistan. is that even possible in a secular army?
2 according to the independent; around half of saudi army are of yemeni tribal origin. How loyal do you think they will remain? Perhaps the reason why they are desperate for pakistani sunni soldiers instead.
I dont think they think from their minds, if they did they would never want AQ/ISIS kinds roaming in areas bordering these countries. UAE heavily depends upon tourism and investment, what would happen if terrorists start hitting the country?
Kiwaities saying they dont need Pakistan, Pakistan needs them.. Uhh, talk about hypocrasy lol. Why even bothering ask Pakistan when you dont need.
And people still remember very well how they badly needed a giant coalition against Iraqis in early 90s.
[RIGHT]Defence Minister Khawaja Asif is greeted on his arrival in Riyadh by his Saudi counterpart Prince Mohammad bin Salman al Saud. PHOTO: PID[/RIGHT] A font page editorial in Kuwaiti paper Al Seyassah on Sunday criticised Pakistan for taking a neutral stance in the Yemen crisis, the UAE’s Gulf News](Kuwaiti daily launches scathing attack on Pakistan) reported.
“The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries do not need Pakistan. In fact, Pakistan needs them in various areas,” the editor-in-chief of the paper Ahmad al Jarallah wrote. “The GCC can defend its security, particularly following the alliance with other countries such as Jordan and Egypt.” Read: Pakistan’s decision is dangerous and unexpected, says UAE foreign minister
Pakistan had bowed to Iran, the editor went on to write, because it feared being defeated by the Iranian religious leadership.
“Pakistan needs to look carefully at the Iranian plots, especially its attempt to scare the world with its military capabilities.”
Accusing Pakistan of political blackmail, the editorial said that “the Pakistani stance that was adopted through the parliament’s decision to remain neutral has dropped the blackmail masks about protecting sacred Islamic sites and sharing a common destiny with Muslim countries.” Read: UAE’s warning to Pakistan unacceptable and ironic, says Nisar
“The slogans were merely political blackmailing tools and Pakistan thought it could use them to feed its crisis-hit economy,” al Jarallah wrote.
“There is no doubt that the Pakistani leadership has made a mistake by betting on Iran, and even its fear from Tehran is not grounded in reality since the Iranian claims about military and missile capabilities and the nuclear programme are not more than a game,” al Jarallah said.

The criticism comes only days after UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Mohammad Gargash said that Pakistan’s decision to not join the Saudi-led coalition was “dangerous and unexpected”. Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had responded to the UAE minister’s statements, terming them “unacceptable” and a “violation of all diplomatic norms”.

In other words, PPP is telling Saudia, next time, it is not pml-n you should help bringing into power in Pakistan to serve you but us as PPP stands by all the evil saudia wants to cause to pakistan and the muslim world. So, it’s all about ‘power’ and emptying out Pakistani treasury. Poor Pakistanis can go to yemen, saudia, uae, etc. etc. in planes, boats, containers, legally or illegally for survival. It’s of no concern of any political parties hungry for power.
