Andy Bostom provides some important background on the jihad in Jammu and Kashmir, and on the true sentiments of the sainted "moderate" Benazir Bhutto.
"End the Moral Idiocy on Kashmir," by Andrew Bostom, July 10:
I participated in a forum on Kashmir last night at MIT in Boston, as this Muslim supremacist, jihad-inspired conflict—really a tragic ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Hindus by Muslim jihadists which began in earnest during the 14th century—re-emerged in the news recently when the Indian government had the “temerity” to want to transfer 99 acres of land to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board, a trust running the popular Hindu shrine (including the cave that houses a large ice stalagmite itself, revered by Hindus as an incarnation of Siva, the god of destruction and reproduction). Please watch the video linked below, which chronicles in gory detail the brutal ethnic cleansing of some 350,000 indigenous Hindus from Kashmir during early 1990, orchestrated by Pakistan and it’s “moderate” Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto.I was privileged last night to meet the astute, courageous, and passionate filmmaker, Ashok Pandit, who produced this documentary, “And the World Remained Silent”.

(Part 1)
Focus on the time period 2:15 to 4:00 minutes, from part 1 above, and witness the jihadist speech of the late, much ballyhooed “modernist reformer” Benazir Bhutto. She was a jihadist, plain and simple; the head of what remains a jihadist state, our “ally” Pakistan.

(Part 2)
Watch both videos, please, and read it all.
Benazir rode the tiger, and ended up inside.
A scorpion stings. A jihadist terrorizes.
Nice to see some people speaking out the truth about Benazir, and not grovelling at her alter.
And how does Islamic Republic of Pakistan end up in "war-on-terror"? As an "ally" of USA.
Go figure!
The axis of evil Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and here the United States gives billions of dollars to Pakistan. This country has taken hard earned tax dollars from working families in the United States and in return more anti United States rhetoric. Most Pakistanis hate the US. The US is a Kafir nation. Pakistan was created to continue the 1400 year war against all infidels. India and the Hindus as prime targets. Next you have western Muslims coming to this land and getting trained for terrorists activities and return to their adopted homes in the west, and kill. Pakistan does not allow Nato troops to chase down the Taliban in the tribal regions. Just to fool and please the US and get more money they send in Paki troops who kill a few Mujahadins as though to show they are doing something. This whole thing is a real joke and a tragedy. It has been taquiya to and false promises to the west and they will continue their Jihad no matter what. It is an Islamic country Jihadists will continue to flow from that country to kill infidels around the world.
Benazir like Abbas whose method of decieving the west and part of the "slow jihad", while her muslim brothers who killed her are like the Hez and Hammas boys "fast jihad" both methods are deadly to non muslims, just that the fast jihad is easier for the western elites to see. readers here at JW can see both as dangerous and deadly.
Benazir Bhutto reminded me of that "Palestinian" spokeswoman who was the face of the "Palestinians" back in the 1990s. We in the West certainly seem suckers for a pretty face or British accented English speaker with the exotic name and lifestory.
I have learned so much from JW of the history of the millions who have been brutally murdered in the name of Islam over the centuries and continue to shake my head and wonder why their cries (with very few exceptions) have been ignored or even worse, whitewashed. This is just another example of how gullible we are in the West. I just do not understand us.
Before Robert or anyone else posts a link to an item perhaps it would be wise to make clear that there are no copy-write issues with the video involved.
I am, of course, thinking of the recent court ruling, a ruling, I am afraid,which will have massive implications for internet privacy and on-line free speech.

It may mean that every single person who ever watched anything on You tube is going to be traced.
It looks like the people behind it are Paramount pictures, MTV and the British football premiership.
Perhaps it would be wise to remove features such as Jihad-watch Interludes?
It might also be wise to explain to your readers the legality or otherwise of following the link to the movie “Islam- What the West needs to know.”
But Bhutto was a MODERATE (wasn't she?)!!!
A further indication that "moderate Muslims" aren't the cure for what ails the Muslim world.
Islam is Islam, however you slice it.
The greatest threats the United States are...
(1) Saudia Arabia
(2) Pakistan
(3) Iran
Yet, two of them are our allies? And remember Pakistan, unlike Iran, already has nukes!

....:it had identified about 160,000 unauthorised clips of its programmes on the website, which had been viewed more than 1.5 billion times"....
Do you really think that anyone, company, or governmemt has the ability or resources to persue and litigate against 160,000 posters or 1.5 billion viewers? You can write any rule you choose, but if it cannot be enforced, it is of no value.
Come get me, I dare you.

The film clip was sickening to watch but not a surprise. This is what "peaceful" Muslims have always done wherever they are or have been: murder, arson, loot, burn, rape,... you name it. They are no fans of literature, arts, music etc. Benazir was a classic example of Muslim duplicity. In the end, she was devoured by the jihad she was preaching. She got what she bargained for. For US to hand out billions to Pakistan makes no sense at all. The Pakis continue to practice Islamic duplicity. Take the money and continue to nurture Taliban. They should have been dealt with first before US dealt with Afghanistan. The northern tribal areas of Pakistan need punishing strikes to cripple Taliban, otherwise the Americans and the world will continue to see acts of mindless terrorism.
This was a big mistake on Bhutto's part. It is one thing to play power politics over Kashmir, it is another thing to encourage gang violence in order to acquire the territory. This can not be justified in any fashion.
That said, there something we should keep in mind. The secular Pakistani military has hardly any less friendly to terrorism. Before and after Bhutto took power, the military supported the party responsible for the attack (Jamiat al-Islami) by literally giving them seats in parliament, and rigging elections so they would win.
So, it is unlikely Bhutto risked death, defied the military, and returned to Pakistan in order to reclaim Kashmir. That was not the main difference between Bhutto and Pervez "Kargil" Musharraf. The main difference was Bhutto wanted democracy, while Musharraf wanted to cart pro-Bhutto lawyers to prison. That was the distinctive feature of Bhutto-type politics and the main plank in her platform. That was what she represented to Pakistanis--moderation and democracy. Does anyone honestly think her assassin killed her because of her tough stance on Kashmir?
The Kashmir issue and how it has been approached is a major deficiency of all Pakistani politicians. But given that the Taliban almost took Peshawir and Kandahar in the past few weeks, and that the Taliban's main base is clearly in Pashtunistan, I think it's clear where our focus should be, and I think Bhutto's return to Pakistan was only a help in that regard.
The Indian Government is a useless Dhimmi puppet as far as the Kashmeri matter is concerned . The Pundits should have been empowered to cleanse their homeland of traitors and the enemies of India. The Indian government and, dare I say, most Hindus are far to passive and timid toward the Muslims. After all, Muslims hit back hard unlike the Christian missionaries that some Hindu fanatics are found of torching.
And I once thought Benazir Bhutto was a moderate.
I like the line at the end of the video, about how if you create a monster it is bound to consume you.
Is it just me, or do others see the parallels between this and World War 2 and the Holocaust?

Well, well, well. So the beautiful Benazir Bhutto was not what she apeared to be from all the photos we saw in our vaunted Press Corps publications.
She looked like a seductive Joan of Arc.
As it turns out, she was really just one more shreiking, railing jihadist, orchestrating and encouraging the murder, rape, torture and destruction of hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris.
When, oh when is the United States going to awaken to the real threat posed by Islam?
The name of the Bhutto Game was POWER. Her father, her husband "Mr. Ten Per Cent"; who handled the graft and corruption in her office, and who now has the "Regency Powers", running the political party for her son who is not in Pakistan - and would not likely go there anytime soon.
We must look at these situations for what they really are; not what we wish them to be. There's a big difference between statecraft and wishcraft.
