Why Riyaz Naikoo was labeled a “moderate,” and by whom, is not explained in this story, but this incident does serve as a good indication of why throwing this label around is usually a useless and often ridiculous exercise.
“ISIS-style execution in Kashmir: Hizbul Mujahideen kills 16-year-old after branding him ‘informer,'” Times Now News, November 18, 2018:
Srinagar: A chilling ISIS-style execution video was released by Pakistan-based terrorist group Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) in Kashmir. A Kashmiri youth was branded an informer and shot multiple times in the head by Hizbul terrorists in the dastardly act. The 11th-grade student was executed on camera over suspicion of being an informer just to send a message to those who help the Indian Army.
Sources told Times Now that Kashmir’s Hizbul chief Riyaz Naikoo is suspected to have carried out the ISIS-style execution. The bone-chilling video shows Kashmiri speaking executioners spraying the youth’s head with bullets.
Former Kashmir chief minister and J&K National Conference party leader Omar Abdullah condemned the incident….
Maths teacher-turned-militant, Naikoo, took the reign of HM after the killing of Sabzar Bhatt in May, 2017. He is considered to be the overall commander of militant outfit in the entire valley. He is reportedly been cornered many times by the security forces but managed to escape each time.
Naikoo has projected the image of a moderate militant who last year released a video welcoming the Kashmiri pundits back to the valley, claiming that Kashmiri pundits are not the enemy of the militants.
Security forces believe Naikoo has been active in recruiting young people from South Kashmir into militancy. He released an audio message in August threatening policemen, not the “Indian agents”.

How evil can you get. This poor young man. I wonder why some people are so unfortunate as to be born into places like this.
Jasmine says
yes, they are unfortunate to be born into islamic hell holes like that, however kashmir was a beautiful vedic/hindu paradise whre bollywood would go shoot movies, After kashmir got overran by islamic invaders from pakistan it turned into a hell hole and today they do not even have one movie house in kashmir, because movies are haram, and portraying human figures in photography or movies is against sharia law…are you loving islam. AND DO NOT WORRY SOON THE WEST WILL BE LIKE THAT UNFORTUNATE HELL HOLE, why because we are admitting millions of practitioners of that daemonic ideology which supposedly immigrate to western countries to escape the hell hole that their ideology created, but yet qwhen they come to the west they bring their ideology and barbaric culture with them, so by sheer numerical population growth, they will soon traansform western society obver time into the hell hole that they supposedly left behind…. and the clueless and idiotic politiicans are helping and abetting the so called relilgion of peace to take root in your country…how stupid can the west get ?

“Moderate militants”???Now what kind of a stupid moniker is that?That’s like Gourmet chicken strips..Maybe Gourmet murderers would be a better label for killers like him.
DHazard says
What is a “moderate” militant? Does he make smallish bombs? Can you talk your way out of him killing you? Does he try really hard not to kill babies when driving on the sidewalk?
Does he occasionally think for himself?

Reposting a comment I left on Conservative Treehouse with typo fixes.
…. by Islamic Apologist standards, a “moderate Muslim” is any Muslim who has not successfully killed any American in the last week, nor provably participated in an attack on America or Americans loyal to America so far today, nor has any specific plans to do so in the next few hours. Having killed Americans prior to the last week does not count against that “moderate” label, nor do their published plans to attack US tomorrow.
As somebody wanting categories other than Patrick Henry’s “…a slave, a Muslim, or dead …” I would insist on a more stringent definition.
a Moderate Muslim does not believe killing an infidel cannot be murder. (as the infidels insist they are descendants of apes and pigs therefor infidels are not properly classified as human and the murder label can only apply to humans)
a Moderate Muslim does not think it is OK to spread Islam by the sword. Not just inappropriate before other efforts have failed, but NOT OK EVER.
A Moderate Muslim does not think it acceptable for the Muslim faith (Dar al-Islam) to be at perpetual war with the nonMuslim (dar al-harb) world (sometimes open warfare, other times concealed or taqiyya) for the purpose of conquering said world to enslave them under their sect of Islam.
Hint, Islam believes everybody goes to H3LL, but after Allah gets bored, one of the seventy four sects of Islam gets a reprieve to go to Paradise with Allah. Obviously the winner of who enslaved the world should be seen as having the inside track to be the ones who get the reprieve from H3LL.
That leaves most “moderate” Muslims either Sufi, apostate, or temporarily ignorant of what their sect’s faith does teach and require (not hard when Islam is taught by rote memorization of Arabic text without any Arabic literacy requirement)(and before you say that is implausible, remember during the Dark Ages the Catholic Church had only Latin Bibles to teach scripture to the masses who were not particularly literate in Latin).

I was going to add a bit about allowing people not of their particular sect of Islam to live in peace, but I had a bit of blinders on and came up with a definition that allowed Sharia by the laws of that country as a loophole so I scrapped the whole bit at that time.

Kashmir: “Moderate militant” murders 16-year-old after branding him “informer”
……………………..
What the hell is a “moderate militant”? I guess that would be the sort of Muslim who cold-bloodedly murders a 16-year-old kid.
God, I hate Islam.

I hope the Indian army neutralizes this Koranimal asap…

Islam – an ideology from Hell.
The brainwashed followers of the warlord Muhammed are turning territories into places Satan would be proud of.
Angemon says
Hmmm, I wonder how, why and with whom’s help…
sidney penny says
Umma’s help.
If you live in Molenbeck, the Umma is a big big help.
Sharyati says
Sad sad, Kashmir a beautiful ancient land of deep sanskrit learning, poetry has been converted to a burial ground after the dirty hands of Islam has taken over. See the depth to which the philosophy of language and Vedanta went to in erstwhile ancient kashmir, before islam touched it with its stinky hands
