[DAWN] While giving a policy statement in the National Assembly, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said on Friday that Pakistain would not serve as a proxy for the United States in any war.

Another minister told the house that the government planned to repatriate Afghan refugees in two years.

The foreign minister said people of Afghanistan and other Moslem countries often wanted Pakistain to take part in the wars fought within their borders. "However Pakistain will not act as a proxy in any US-led war," he said.

Mr Asif was responding to a calling-attention notice of Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam

who wanted to know why Pakistain had not voted against the war in Syria during a debate in the UN Human Rights Committee.

Mr Rehman said that of the eight Moslem countries in the committee three Moslem states did not cast their votes, including Pakistain.

The minister said that lack of harmony and unity among the Moslem countries was the main reason behind the various problems they were facing. "No enemy can harm Moslems if they do not become controllers of the enemy." He said everyone knew who had taken the Lion of Islam Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group from Iraq to Afghanistan. The next target of the Lion of Islam group could very well be Pakistain.
