China stresses US to respect Pakistan’s sovereignty

Beijing: With the US and Pakistan engaged in a war of words, China today sprung to the defence of its ‘all weather ally’, asking Washington to respect Islamabad’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while fighting its war on terror.
Asked about US military Chief Admiral Mike Mullen’s accusations that ISI was supporting the Haqqani network to wage a proxy war in Afghanistan, a spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry defended Pakistan, saying it has been “in the forefront of international efforts against terrorism.”
“Pakistan has made important sacrifices in global fight against terrorism. We hope relevant country will respect other countries sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he said.
He however, said he was not aware of specific allegations of the US.
The top US military commander Mullen had lashed out at Pakistan yesterday, blaming ISI for providing support to the Haqqani terror network in carrying out the recent attack on the US embassy in Kabul.
In a severe indictment, Mullen said the Haqqani network “acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Agency,” remarks that created furore in Pakistan which hit back, asking the US to stop making such comments.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Americans could not effectively fight the ongoing war in Afghanistan without Pakistan’s assistance after his Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar warned Washington that it could lose an ally if it continued to publicly accuse Islamabad of exporting violence to Afghanistan.

Brand America and Brand Capitalism - Victims of 9/11

Twenty years ago, the Berlin Wall fell. But the optimism and triumphalism within the United States after the collapse of Communism, the end of the Cold war, and the establishment of the 'New World Order' are now in scarce supply.

Ten years after the start of the War of Terror, Francis Fukuyama has been forced to revise his proclamation of the "End of History". Whilst George W Bush's "Mission Accomplished" and "Iraq is Free" look, in hindsight, so premature that the obstetric term 'miscarriage' would be more appropriate.

"Brand America", in a political sense, has become toxic all over the World. Once upon a time, people in the Muslim world looked at America and Western Europe as their role models. They aspired for their own countries to be Muslim Capitalist democracies, with varying degrees of Islam thrown in to satisfy the religiosity of the masses.

'Star Wars' planet like Tatooine that orbits two suns discovered by Nasa

A planet which orbits two suns - just like Tatooine in the Star Wars films - has been found by Nasa's Kepler telescope.

Planet Kepler-16b, which is 200 light years from Earth, enjoys a double sunset each day.

But although Luke Skywalker's home planet in the science fiction saga is rife with indigenous lifeforms, Kepler-16b's harsh environment makes it almost certainly uninhabitable.

The cold gas giant's two stars are 69 per cent and 20 per cent the mass of our sun, resulting in surface temperatures which rarely rise above -70C.

The Kepler telescope was launched in 2009 to scour our section of the Milky Way for Earth-like planets.

It is able to find new planets by detecting regular dimming of light from a star, indicating it is being orbited.

Researchers found that two stars were orbiting each other, resulting in regular eclipses, but also noticed further dimming of the light being emitted from both on a smaller scale, which indicated an orbiting planet.

Alan Boss, a researcher at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC and a member of the team that discovered Kepler-16b, said: 'This discovery is stunning.

'Once again, what used to be science fiction has turned into reality.'

The Tallest tree in the World (Science & Islam)

The height of the tallest tree in the world is 112meter; it is in the forests of California in the United States of America.

Scientists believe that age of this tree is more than one thousand year, the diameter of its trunk is more than three meters, and it looks like a building consisting of 37 floors.



But someone may say, where is the miracle in that creature? Here we have to ask a question, how can the water reach the height of 112 meter? What kind of pumps this tree is using? And from where does that tree get the needed energy to feed itself for more than 1000 year?
