#1 A March 1991 Lahore meeting of Islamists was called at the behest o f Pakistan's Jamaat-i-Islami leader Qazi Hussain Ahmad. Ahmad had spent much of March on a tour of Pakistan trying to mend fences within his party which had fractured over support for Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War. Anti-American protests began to spread in January 1991, and it was the fear of alienating Washington that caused Foreign Minister Shehryar Khan to state that if Pakistan were to support Saddam Hussein it would alienate the U.S., the Saudis and the world community and consign "Pakistan's fate to that of Muslim Albania." Regardless, the Salafist Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI) of Fazlur Rehman Khalil led the charge of Islamist movements determined to reverse Pakistan government support for Washington. It was a time of political uproar. Ever since the JUI has led Pakistan's anti-American bloc, which remains significant to this date.

Does this imply that Pakistan has pro-American bloc?

#6 Granted, the interest on "tranches" is notional.

#7 Charging interest is haram. Shipping, handling, and other user fees are OK. A rose by any other name...
