Oh Great, now we have Indian National Assembly on fire again. Lemme guess - the un-known arsonists who disppeared after the act were carrying Paksitani passports and ID cards.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Just because now Muslims (according to you Mullahs) have taken over the helm to liberate Kashmir from oppression does not mean that you should give up your sense of judgement between right and wrong. Just because Mullah has taken up on a cause does not mean that the cause has now become wrong.

Lahola wila quawwat.

re: this article
The same old story.
Where muslim are in a majority, there is always trouble if they are surrounded by people of other religions. Islam has not reconciled to other religions. What is happening in Kashmir is not unexpected.
Where muslims are in a minority, they want a secular govt!
Talk of hypocrisy.

Stories like these have turned me away from religion!!

I used to believe in God!

God did not create us!! But we created God because we wanted something bigger then us.

Now! In the same God`s name we turning into monster.

Beena Sarwar is a good writer. So it must be a good write up. But I don`t even read anything on Kashmir anymore.

Kashmir has basically turned into a war to death between Islam and Hinduism. Islam has cleansed Kashmir valley of Hinduism, as it did earlier the area occupied by Pakistan.

The question is - will Hindus hand over the Kashmiri land too to Islam or will they stand up and fight back to preserve what they have.

Two very different systems with two very different outlooks to history. It will be interesting to see what happens.
