  Replace Junaid Ghaznavi on PTV Prime's Tafheem-e-Deen Petition
Ghaznavi's views on this matter are not the mainstream opinion and are quite derogatory to the Muslim majority.
Ghaznavi fails to define in his talks is the definition of the Sunnat, leaving the door of interpretation open to viewers, who in most cases may not be trained enough in their understanding of these matters, to able to tell the difference.
Ghaznavi strongly implies that spiritual practices, as practiced by the Awliya Kiram today and for hundreds of years are useless and deceiving.

 GHAZNAVI: CHINESE OR NORTH KOREAN OR STOLEN?
When SHAHEEN-II was displayed in a military parade in March, 2000, Pakistani commentators had described that too as the first in the GHAZNAVI series of missiles.
The name GHAZNAVI was first used in public by Dr.A.Q.Khan, the so-called father of Pakistan's atomic bomb, after the firing of the GHAURI-I missile in April, 1998.
He said that GHAZNAVI would have more advanced performance characteristics than GHAURI-I with a range of 2000 Kms.

 Ghaznavid rule of Pakistan
Contrary to the general belief that Mahmud Ghaznavi was a Hindu-killer or destroyer of Hindu religious places, he was extremely liberal towards them.
In fact some of the historians of the early period feel that the main cause of the fall of the Ghaznavid Empire was their excessive reliance on Hindus and the appointment of Hindus to positions of great responsibility.
It may be of interest to note here that Mahmud Ghaznavi's exploits of Somnath and the destruction of the temple are mentioned only by Muslim historians.

  Union leader says glass firm's chief lost touch - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
John Ghaznavi used to have a good relationship with the workers at his Glenshaw Glass Co. bottle-making plant in Shaler Township, says the president of the union representing most of the 300 who work there.
Ghaznavi has begun hiring replacement workers and no formal meetings of the two sides were scheduled as of Monday.
Ghaznavi's contention that Glenshaw workers make 21 percent more than their peers in other single-plant glass factories is misleading, he said.

 Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan
While Babar is looked upon with regard by most Indians as the founder of the Moghul dynasty rather than as an invader, the naming of the missile after Babar has not gone down well with some who still see it as part of a Pakistani convention of naming missiles after Muslim invaders of India.
The Ghaznavi missiles are named after Mahmud Ghaznavi (971-1030), an Afghan warlord who is described in history books as a destroyer of Hindu temples.
Mahmud Ghaznavi directed his attacks on the temple towns of Thanesar, Mathura, Kannauj and Somnath, and stripped these temples of their wealth, then destroyed them.

 Rewriting  History and Mahmud Ghaznavi
In this article, let us focus on how Mahmud Ghaznavi is portrayed in history books written for Indian school children and what his contemporary and other Muslim historians wrote about him.
It is because Mahmud Ghaznavi is a pivotal figure in Indian history who invaded India numerous (14 - 17) times, laid the groundwork for future Muslim rule in India, and forever changed the course of its history.
This book states that while "some historians hold that Mahmud wanted to propagate Islam in India, whereas, most of the scholars assert the chief aim of Mahmud was to rob." He robbed India after every war and carried away fabulous wealth to Ghazni.

 History Punjab, Hindu kingdoms, Shia Multan, Turkic invasions, Ghauri, Ghaznavi, Slave Trade, Afghanistan, Pakistan, ...
The exigencies of the two-nation theory and the ideological pressures required to preserve Pakistan as a foil to "Hindu-dominated" India have led to a considerable degree of obfuscation in history-writing in Pakistan.
While there is no doubt that both Ghouri and Ghaznavi possessed remarkable military skills and intellect, and fought with great shrewdness, persistence and tenacity, their achievements in other domains are somewhat more questionable.
Whereas Utbi, Ghaznavi's court historian looked upon his military expeditions as "holy wars" for the 'extirpation of idolatry' and 'propagation of Islam', it is curious that even Multan (which had already come under Islamic influence) was not spared, and was also repeatedly attacked.

The solid-fueled Ghaznavi and longer range Shaheen 1 and Shaheen 2 missiles are all widely reported to be based on either Chinese missiles or missile technology.
The latest Pakistani missile is the Ghaznavi, or Hatf 3, which was formally adopted by the Strategic Forces Command on February 22, 2004.
This serves to push away air, creating less aerodynamic drag for the remainder of the missile, and is useful for extending the range of the missile if it employed a "depressed trajectory" or low altitude flight profile, where denser air would create more drag.

 Creditors claim 'sweetheart' deals - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Creditors of Glenshaw Glass Co. say the plant's former owner negotiated sweetheart deals on his way out the door before a bank foreclosed on the plant in November, and are demanding he return $600,000.
PNC Bank, which had a $10 million mortgage on the property, foreclosed on the loan in November, ousting Ghaznavi after he fell behind on payments on the loan after the Sept. 17 floods destroyed two of the company's glass-melting furnaces.
According to the complaint, Ghaznavi negotiated with PNC to have "as many assets transferred to other entities he controlled as he possibly could" before his ouster.

Sunday's launch came despite international pleas for both sides to ease tensions and followed what Pakistan said was the successful test-firing Saturday of a Ghauri missile with a range of 900 miles, far enough to reach deep into India.
Both the Ghauri and Ghaznavi missiles are capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads; fear of a major conflict between India and Pakistan is heightened because both have developed nuclear weapons since their last war, in 1971.
The Ghaznavi missile is "indigenously developed and the test firing was the culmination of years of hard work, dedication and professional excellence of Pakistani scientists and engineers," Pakistan's army said in a statement Sunday.
