Israeli officer visits Jammu and Kashmir; Kashmir Muslims "up in arms"

"People in the valley generally abhor Israel because of its oppression of the Palestianians".
More likely, most of the people are either of two kinds: (1) Those who've been brainwashed by their radical immams to hate Israel, the West, Jews, Christians, and Hindus; (2) Those who couldn't give a damn about Israel or the Palestinians and just want to live their lives in reasonable peace and comfort.

Hindu-Muslim reconciliation? Where the hell are the Hindus? So many of them were kicked out in the 90's and the few that remain are getting killed off. The bastards who are doing this to Kashmiri Hindus, and even to Kashmiri Muslims who oppose them, don't need Israel to excuse what they are doing, and I hope people figure that out.

The many non-Muslims of India, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Christians, even the handful of Jews (there are a few, including a former chief of staff, and as everyone knows, non-Muslim India never offered a hint of antisemitim or any other venerable form of intolerance, for Hinduism was less an ideology than a way that one could, but need not, accept, and until the Muslim conquerors brought Islam, India was the most tolerant of countries. Those who like to adduce what they consider to be examples of "Hindu fanaticism," which is mostly a justified response to the long history of Muslim depredations, persecution, and murder, may here and there find examples of intolerance exhibited toward Christian missionaries, but such intolerance is not part of Hinduism but, rather, reflects the belief that such missionaries always target Hindus, never Muslims, and furthermore, what intolerance has been exhibited, unwontedly, by Hindus, has been learned from Muslim example, Muslim tutelage.

Surely the non-Muslim government in India, and especially those in the all-important governments of the individual states, such as Gujarat or Uttar Pradesh or Kerala -- and the importance of those states, and their separate ways, is insuffiently understood by foreign makers of policy) should, taking note of Islam's tenets and the history of Jihad-conquest, note the demographic conquest that India is now enduring, in slow motion. The govenment and people of India should know, and keep constantly in mind, and make known elsewhere, the results of the discrimination, persecution, and even murder of Hindus by Muslims in Pakistan, where the Hindu percentage of the population has become one-tenth of what it was when Pakistan was formed, and in Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) is one-fifth what it was, and gone down steadily in both parts of Kashmir, where 400,000 Kashmiri pandits were driven out by the Muslims, and in India itself, where the Muslim share of the population steadily rises. And they should not hesitate to act decisively to make sure that the policy of appeasement of Islam, reflected in India's past foreign and domestic policies, does not continue. Mrs. Gandhi, and to some extent Sonia Gandhi, seem determined to pretend that Islam is fine, that there is no problem, no menace posted to the Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Christians, Buddhists (there are some), and Jews (there are a few) by the Muslims in India. This is false, and it is absurd for mainstream political figures, and all those Indians of Hindu descent, who go abroad, become famous abroad, to strive to show Westerners that they are free of any "taint of communalism," by which is meant -- any hint of belief that there is a distinct problem posed by the Total Belief-System of Islam.

For every mordant truth-teller such as Naipaul, or for that matter such apostates as Anwar Shaikh and Ibn Warraq, there are a hundred, such as Amartya Sen, who acquire a reputation in one field, and then proceed, as natives of India, to present themselves as experts on Islam, its tenets, and the history of Islam (see Sen's article two years ago on "democracy and Islam" that should, but do not, embarrass him). In Amatartya Sen's case, his self-assured presentations on Islam may, as a model to be emulated, had an influence on his former close friend, Martha Nussbaum. Nussbaum, who like Jeffery Sachs and a few others has become an academic Irwin-Corey ("World's Greatest Authority"), has now, after a few lightning visits to India, become so much of an expert on India and on Islam as to have begun -- it doesn't take much prompting -- to set down her definitive and authoritative thoughts on the matter.

That should make Hindus going on pilgrimages to this or that village or shrine of Ganesh feel a whole lot better. Nothing to worry about, if only they rein in, those Hindus, their own "crazies." Islam itself is hunky-dory. Ask Martha Nussbaum. She knows.

When mohammedans are contemplating a cease fire with anybody, they always make it a condition that their hatred of the Jews be catered to.

Standard operating procedure. Works fine in Europe and elsewhere.

" ...the National Conference, has cautioned that his visit will hurt the ongoing Muslim-Hindu reconciliation peace process and defeat the basic concept of friendship between India and Pakistan..."

Translation:

When the Hindu's are murdered or forcibly converted we shall be reconciled under Islam. In the meantime, why can't we just hate the Jooozzz?

Altogether now...:

Once again, the ineffable Hugh Fitzgerald presents us with invaluable information. His posts, always compelling and essential reading, never fail to astound. How in the name of God does this man (is he, in fact, merely human, like the rest of us) know so much, learn so much, absorb and assimilate so much, all the while retaining a steadfast, clear moral compass? A true miracle. Hugh is sui generis.

India, the lost tribe of Israel?

Or the one just found?

Daniel Pearls moonbat parable:

Usual vote bank politics. The National Conference had no problems being a part of the BJP led NDA alliance when they were in power, and didn't (and couldn't) force the government then from having friendly ties with Israel. And the Communists and Islamists within the ruling Congress haven't been able to derail India's defense relationships with Israel either.

Somehow, India's past foreign policy of sucking up to the ummah never worked, and started unravelling in 1991 after the Babri Masjid came down. It has never been, and can never be, the same (unless India ever Islamizes, and wipes out all its Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Paris, Jains, Christians and Athiests).

Here's a funny one (in a sad kind of way):

the ongoing Muslim-Hindu reconciliation peace process

And here's another one:

the basic concept of friendship between India and Pakistan

They're probably up in arms because this guy can expose the fighting tactics and mindset of these Muslims.

Islam - to everyone else - "if you make friends with the JOOOZ we kill you!"

Maybe this is what the moslem world is scared of:

The moslem mind is truly strange and irrational, just because they cannot co exist with anyone or even their own fellow moslems, they expect all others to be the same.

Long may the Indo-Israeli Friendship continue and grow.

And there is even more.
