"Minor" Sunni/Shi'ite jihad incidents in Kashmir lead to curfews and other strict security restrictions

But no worries, the clashes were "minor." Just stay in your house and don't ask questions.

It sometimes seems as if the whole world is in denial and trying to downplay the magnitude of the jihad. "Shia-Sunni clashes erupt in J&K," from The Asian Age, January 5 (thanks to Twostellas):

Jan. 5: The Jammu and Kashmir police with CRPF are enforcing strict security restrictions on the town of Magam near here and its neighbourhood following clashes between groups of Shias and Sunnis.

Tension gripped the area earlier over the naming of a marketplace. Minor clashes also occurred between the two sides in half a dozen villages around Magam town along the Srinagar-Gulmarg road. When the police intervened and tried to restore peace, it was attacked with rocks and other missiles by irate mobs forcing it to fire teargas canisters and swing bamboo sticks against the urchins. Earlier, Sunni and Shia residents targeted each other's homes and others properties overnight causing damaged to these and injuries to some people. In all started after unidentified men pulled down a hoarding which had a photograph of an Iranian spiritual leader on it.

The Shias blamed the incident on their Sunni neighbours triggering clashes between the two sides. Also, an old dispute over the use of a plot of land adjacent to a mosque has played a role towards escalating tensions.

Soon loudspeaker-fitted police jeeps went round to announce imposition of curfew and ask people not to venture out from their homes.

Though this and deployed of hundreds of policemen and CRPF personnel did not stop the groups of people indulging in violence, the officials described the incidents as "minor" and that the situation was now peaceful.

Tuesday's incidents came close on the heels of clashes between the Shia and Sunni residents of Teetwal, Karnah area in frontier Kupwara district.

From article...irate mobs forcing it to fire teargas canisters and swing bamboo sticks against the urchins.

Urchins...that's a new one...I kind of like it...As far as Sunni and Shia attacking each other, urchins have to do what urchins have to do...Allah wills it...he always does...

I'm heartly glad the miscreants were banged with the bamboo.

I don't know when the general population of the world is going to make the connection between terrorism and Islamic source material. It is so 'blanking' obvious. It is clearly written in the Koran, Hadiths and the biography of Muhammad. This material has been translated into almost if not all languages. This source material is terrorism for all non-Muslims. We are exhausting valuable lives, resources, creativity, time and energy chasing individual Muslims all over the planet to kill a Bin somebody or could have Bin somebody while ignoring the fact that the source material and therefore the religion itself is terrorism.
I do not have the financial resources or the legal team behind me but someone must put the Koran, Hadiths and Muhammmad on trial so that all those who are either too busy paying bills or not that interested or incapable of knowing right from wrong without spelling it out for them, can see what is going on. It is extremely important for non-Muslims to produce enough awareness among the masses to produce the 'critical mass' in public opinion that forever reduces Islamic texts and those that follow them to dangerous fictions.

......................

The "naming of a marketplace"? Of course, we Infidels tend to name our marketplaces things such as "Town Center Plaza" or "Oakwood Row", not "Blood of the Holy Martyrs of Karbala Mall".

So—I believe we had been told that if Pakistan was ever successful in wresting Kashmir from the perfidious Indians, that peace would reign in this lovely mountain redoubt.

Now, it sounds as though their might be trouble in paradise, in the form of the usual vicious Muslim-on-Muslim violence. How is such a thing possible? sarc/off

They should have let them fight 'till the end.After all,they
are all brothers.

Part of our problem is our having internalized muslim problems as part of our own. Personally, I really don't care how many muslims butcher one another - nor which muslim faction prevails.

Muslims' problems are Muslims' problems - and none of our own. In order to defend America, we just need to keep all of them out of our borders.

Here is my daily exerpt from my book 'Sparks and Seeds'

- Let’s start with the biographical information that is written about the founder of Islam by his early followers and those Muslims after him. Muhammad was; a mass murderer (sat and watched under his direction the beheading of all the arms capable men of the Banu Quraiza tribe, 800 total and the subsequent dumping of their bodies in a ditch. This killing procedure became common practice during his many raids and battles while creating an example to be followed by those that came after him. He killed or enslaved almost all those that opposed or disagreed with him. The continent of Africa is a modern day example of this malignant Islamic defect and also many of the defects listed below. All current Islamic countries and territories have used these methods to conquer the people that were in possession of the land before Muslims took over. Islam is now killing or preparing to kill millions or even billions of non-Muslims if they consider it necessary as you read this in order to have Islam be the only religion and Muslims the only people on earth.); adulterer/rapist (forced sexual relations with the wives of many of those whose husbands he had killed, in particular the wives of their leaders); pedophile (his second wife Aisha was betrothed to him at the age of 6 and he had intercourse with her at the age of 9 and only GOD knows how many other concubines and war booty females were children. Muhammad’s pedophilic example has justified pedophilic marriages in our modern era. Because child brides may have been common in Muhammad’s day and others does not minimize the corruption of sexual relations with children.); terrorist (used terror, fear, death and torture to accomplish his goals); deceiver (pretended to be friendly with the Meccans and other tribes at the time through temporary truces until he had the upper hand and then turned on them and killed them or forced them to covert while absorbing their material assets, as is happening around the world today in all nations. Islam can only offer a false temporary truce with non-Muslims because they are commanded to make all the world Islamic.); anti-Christ (see below); anti-Semite (Targeted Jews for death with extra zeal because of their power and resistance to conversion to a religion that was contrary to their ancient beliefs); idolater (continued to treat a black stone, stolen from pagan idolaters, with reverence and requires his followers to do the same and required all Muslims to face the idol of Mecca when praying); dictator (ruled with a sharp sword and a gathering of assassins); slave owner and slave trader (Mature males were almost always killed or forced into conversion during his many raids and battles while the women and children were almost always enslaved and/or made into concubines. Muhammad had a special preference for trading slaves for horses and weapons.); suicide provocateur (labeled those who gave their lives for Jihad as the highest persons in Heaven); insanely jealous (would not speak to his child bride Aisha for a week for accepting a ride on another man’s camel because she was left behind. He created many insane restrictions on the interactions of men and women due to this sexual jealousy including the veil); looter/thief (robbed and killed traveling merchants on their trade routes only to take their valuables. Invaded numerous surrounding communities, killing and enslaving their population while taking all their belonging as booty. This taking of others belongings was the incentive and reward for himself and his followers. Everything that he and his followers owned was plundered from his neighbors. Looting was Muhammad’s business. This example can be seen in modern piracy and Islamic Imperialist movement around the globe. Many Muslims can’t wait to take your possessions, women, land, wealth, etc). - Most Muslims do not want you to know these things about their leader and role model. They have done and will continue to do everything or anything to suppress this common knowledge. All criticism of Muhammad is forbidden for Muslims and Islam is doing whatever it currently can to forbid it for all non-Muslims. - With this kind of leader what more can we ask from Muhammad’s followers as is evidenced in every Muslim neighborhood or country on the planet. When Muslims kill, rape, murder, loot and pillage they are simply following their leader. When this barbarism occurs it often seems like such a surprise to outsiders or something that only those who are interpreting Islam incorrectly would do but this is authentic Islam. When Islam is not practiced with criminality it is inauthentic. The justifications for terrorism, looting, murder, slavery, rape and suicide are found in the Islamic source material of the Koran, the Hadiths and the biography of Muhammad; they were not made up or misinterpreted by Muslims. - If Muhammad was at any time a messenger of GOD then the faulty record keeping of the oral tradition that has been written in the Koran and Hadith by the Muslims of the day and practiced by his current followers, has buried him under barbaric and earthly references to him and the subsequent practice of this brutality and animal-like religious training and practices. - Because other nations, religions and individuals have done what Muhammad has done or worse, does not justify Muhammad’s actions. He would have been arrested and hung by even the most civilized country in the world today for most of his actions and behavior.

Sunnis kill Shias, and Shias kill Sunnis. This is a problem?

I visited Europe recently and I actually had a guy approach me, which startled me at first, but then I realised he was probably a Muslim. I asked him forthrightly if he was a Shi'ite or what. He immediately bristled and said in a stern voice, I am not! I am a Sunni!
Ohmigosh. That was my first encounter with a Sunni.And last, to my knowledge.

But, personally, I don't care if the Muslim's kill each other off with the in-fighting or not. I hope they do. Better yet, with all of their pro-suicide bombing mentalities, why don't they just kill themselves? And leave us alone? That's much preferred. Why don't they just kill themselves?

I like The Wheels On The Bus!!!! I think Flowerknife said something about the nursery rhyme...

Flowerknife said, The wheels on the bus go BOOM, BOOM,BOOM!!
