Assuming that you hold all denominations equal in the respect that they are all leading you in the ways of the Lord... Denominations start by interpretation. For example; a popular Proverb, "spare the rod and spoil the child". For the traditionalist, this means: "Warning, if you neglect to punish your child for being bad, the bad behavior will continue!". However, for someone more 'progressive', this could mean: "God says don't punish the child for being bad, smother them with gifts instead, and spoil them!". Or howabout this one in John 1:1; "In the beginning the word was, and the word was with god, and the word was a god." This is great fodder for Trinitarians (believers in that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, are all one entity, and that God sent a 'piece' of Himself down to Earth to die...) For traditionalists this signifies that God created Jesus in the beginning of Creation . . . and was then with (in His presence) God . . . and then became a force of Creation, along with God . . . That is just 2 verses in over 1500 pages of the Bible, imagine how many other interpretations are floating around out there waiting to become the next 'progressive' church . . .

If India is in Asia do they classify as Asian?
India is an Asian country because in this sense we are talking about geography. In the same way Egypt is an African country and Russia can be considered an European country as well as an Asian country.
Racially it would depend on where you are from; the United States and Canada share a similar racial usage of the word Asian as opposed to the British.
Since Indians, Iranians, Egyptians, etc. are classified as Caucasoids by anthropologists, whereas Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc. are classified as Mongoloids by anthropologists, it would be improper to refer to a Chinese and an Indian as belonging to one Asian race. They are of two different races, and in typical usage, when referring to Asian, people are referring to THE Asian race. In the US and Canada, Asian refers to Mongoloids from Asia, such as people from East Asia and Southeast Asia. In Britain it is reversed, Chinese people are not being referred to by the word Asian in Britain, whereas an Indian is referred by the word. In the US and Canada, when people are talking about Asian people, they are not talking about Indians. Just like in the US and Canada, when people are talking about Africans, we are not talking about Egyptians.

What are the five worst offending major countries in terms of pollution?
Here are the 10 Worst Pollution spots: http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/oct2006/2006-10-18-02.asp The United States is the worst offending country in terms of pollution. The US emits 24% of the world's greenhouse gases. 1. U.S.A.
2. China
3. Japan
4. Germany
5. India
(http://www.cbc.ca/news/interactives/gmaps/greenhouse-emitters/)
It should be noted that CO2 is not a pollutant in most science studies. Man produces 6% of the total CO2 and most of that from sources that would create CO2 anyway. China produces 27% of all CO2 if we still wish to use that politics (as opposed to science) and 30% of all smog. making it the worst offender.
You may wish to ask yourself why the idea that CO2 is a pollutant is even around! Man make so little of it and the atmosphere has changed (worst case) 0.007% since we even started making any! That number is even questionable!

Yep. The US uses 9 Million Barrels of gas per day. A barrel is 55 gallons. Check out the consumption section. http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/usa.html So the answer to your question is that 700 million barrels is about 20% of US demand for gasoline annually. That article is a pretty interesting piece of info on the state of energy in America.
What is the Khyber Pass plaque?
This was found while searching on A9.com. I uses Khyber Pass Plaque in the search field. "...we found the marble-canopied monument commemorating those British soldiers from the Queens Own Corps of Guides who died in Kabul in 1879. The plaque said that they had "conferred undying honor not only to the regiment to which they belong but on the whole British army." It wasn't the army that tamed the country around Mardan, but the Benton Canal, completed in 1902 and bringing a part of the Swat River under the Malakand Pass and out around Mardan, whose outskirts were green with orchards and yellow with wheat stretching from tree to tree... http://www.khyber.org/places/2005/NorthernPakistanCharacterBeaut.shtml
