Pakistan since its inception has faced one crisis after another. It has continued to stumble from one problem to another due to never having a leadership with the capability or the will to tackle Pakistan's problems head on.

The Doha round of talks began once again on the 21st July; the Doha Development Round is the trade negotiations of the World Trade Organisation. The round originally commenced at Doha, Qatar in November 2001 and negotiations continue today. Its objective is to lower trade barriers around the world, permitting free trade between countries of varying prosperity. As 152 countries converged on Geneva, talks continue to stall over a divide between the developed nations led by the European Union, the United States and Japan and the major developing countries led and represented mainly by India, Brazil, China and South Africa.
On the 87th anniversary of the destruction of the Khilafah Islam is being discussed and debated by the whole world.

Many of the arguments by those who harbour hatred against the return of the Khilafah are based upon the Khilafah’s track record.
