Imran Khan

In the wake of the video “Innocence of Muslims,” protests have swept the Muslim world. While Pakistan came late to the protests, the country’s Muslims and political leaders are calling on the U.S. to make such blasphemy illegal.

Pakistan’s Imran Khan has been trying to push his sports stardom into political power for more than a decade, with little success. Recently, however, he seemed to make some headway among the urban, educated population.

A report by an international think-tank says says NATO and the U.S. are in genuine danger of losing Afghanistan.

When Pakistan goes to the polls, their ballots will not have the names of any contesting parties on them. Using symbols on ballots has been standard procedure in Pakistani elections for decades, because over 40 percent of adult Pakistanis are illiterate.

The popular Pakistani politician, and former world-class cricketer, Imran Khan, has criticized the attempted killing of Malala Yousufzai. But he won’t pin the blame on the Taliban, and says the insurgency in Afghanistan is justified under Islamic law.
