#15 ...but...urstruly will make the kashmiris truly free by forcing women to put on burqas and men to grow beards.

Urstruly,
(One day Kashmiris will win their freedom too.)
They are already a free people. They elect their own state and national govts. Plus, their Islamiat is much safer in India:
They have their own personal laws.
They are free to pray in their mosques.
Their members in the Indian security forces dont have to fight USA's WOT.
Their land is not used as a base to bomb Muslims as part of WOT.
Regards

This is your big chance urstruly - move to Kosovo.

Warmest congratulations to Muslims living in Kosovo. When one considers the history of Kosovo, both ancient and recent, what a group of Muslims has achieved once again is just astonishing. Absolutely nothing short of another fulfilment of Iqbalian dream and determination. One can see the shadows of Pakistan.
More broadly, felicitations are in order for Urstruly, ali_1, and neembu ji too, and to all liberal and secular people everywhere.
----------
bongdongs, NATO is passe. Now it is fighting with shadows. Muslims living in Kosovo are not part of that fight.

The war against Serbia and independence for Kosovo was part of the Atlantic alliance's desire to extend the boundaries of NATO further east. The various "color" revolutions in ex-Soviet republics (Rose/Orange/Tulip) and allies (Bulldozer revolution) is part of teh same plan. These plans are developed and incremented at regular intervals at the CIA and state department. An historically weak Russia provided the opportunity to get the ball rolling.
Thus, Kosovo is no canonical example which will be broadly applied by the western alliance to extend "liberty". It will be used as a precendent when appropriate in the larger geostrategic framework and ignored when it is not helpful. You may view this as "hypocrisy", others will view it as reality.

TO ALL KOSOVARS "HEARTIEST FELICITATIONS" TO YOU
FROM YOUR BRETHERN IN PAKISTAN.
Inshallah, One day Chechens, Kashmiris, Philipinos, and Thai Muslims will win their freedom too. If in the heart of Europe Bosnia and Kosovo can emerge then this dream will realize itself. It is just matter of time.
One day Pakistan will be free and sovereign too when we will get rid of an occupying NaPak haramkhor fouj. We will be free when we get rid of corrupt, pro-western, oppressive ruling elite - the haramzadas and ghulamzadas. Inshallah.
People! of Pakistan! do not compromise on this evil that has hounded us for 60 years and only now it has lost its facade. Chalay chalo keh abhi manzil nahhin aaii.

aaakh thoooh..... Thats what I can say with the most politeness about this article....

Your piece is just another Dominoes theory based on specious arguments. Kosovo is one of the most impoverished and backward parts of Europe. Kosovars suffered greatly under Serb rule and yet they did not seek separation for a long time because Yugoslavia maintained a semblance of "autonomy" under Ibrahim Rugova. It was only after the Serbs formally took away that "autonomy" that the Kosovars' independence movement picked up steam. So the lesson here is: Do not mess with peoples' right to run their affairs. If you do, you run the risk of fighting liberation wars. The days of unfettered empires are over.

Independence for Kosovars! Perhaps a good thing!. Who knows!
I bet on one thing. Soon A green flag will rise with a little symbol of the Cresent Moon.Just a signal for minorities to vacate from places wherever they might have lived for the past centuries. Then all will be equallized among the remaining residents.one language, one Book and one Sharia laws. Mark my words.

These pieces should be more formally written, in language, content and organization. It is very hard to take what is here seriously given the casual and tangential quality of the text's rhetoric.
