“People will rise against India, and it is not just about Indian Muslims, there are 1.25 billion Muslims around the world. They all are watching this.”
Khan said he is going to bring up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir at the UN General Assembly. Will anyone there call him out for his incitement to violence? Of course not.
“Muslims will rise against India: Imran Khan,” by Imtiaz Ahmad, Hindustan Times, September 14, 2019:
The situation in Kashmir will drive more of the world’s Muslims towards extremism and people “will rise against India”, Prime Minister Imran Khan said during a speech in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Friday.
Khan made the remarks while addressing a rally of several thousand people in PoK capital Muzaffarabad, which was organised as part of the Pakistan government’s protests every Friday against India’s August 5 decision to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.
“When atrocities get to their peak, people would prefer that death is better than this insulting life,” Khan said in the televised speech. “I want to tell India that by detaining thousands of people, you are pushing people into extremism.
“People will rise against India, and it is not just about Indian Muslims, there are 1.25 billion Muslims around the world. They all are watching this.”
Khan said he would defend the cause of the Kashmiris when he attends the UN General Assembly in New York next week. He urged the international community to pressure India to give Kashmiris the right of self-determination….

There are more than 1.3 billion indians…..i think the muslims would lose. The numbers are close to even…though india has more people. However, the US and our allies would back India. Russia, China and their allies would back Pakistan. If this was a fight without nuclear weapons, i would put my money on India.
Watto35 says
He wasn’t that good a cricket player anyway!
JW_Reader says
That is not correct. He was a Star player. Imran Khan excelled in both batting and bowling. He and Ian Botham (UK) were the two of the most talented all rounders in cricket in his time. Though, he is quite a failure as a Prime Minister. Pakistan’s economy has nose dived. They are defaulting on many loans. And the country is sold out to China – that is why they do not talk about the Uighurs of China. Violence and political unrest are also at peak. During last Eid, they had massive riots between the Shias and the Sunnis in Lahore.

Yes–being a great cricket player does not make him a good prime minister, or even sane.
Jayan Divakaran says
He was a USELESS and pathetic player

Khan was Pakistan’s greatest cricket player:

People can decide for themselves–if they care–how significant this is.
Giacomo Latta says
He obviously took a wild throw in the head during his last game. Perhaps a good whack in the head with a cricket bat would set things right, if they ever were.

Hopefully this is just more unhinged Muslim rhetoric–but you never know.

“… I know Pakistanis will fight to death for their freedom.” Whoa! There is freedom under Pakistan’s Islam? Like, Hindus and unbelievers aren’t persecuted?

Infidel says
Russia is on the same side as India in this case. China however has Pakistan as its client state – a key part of its Belt & Road plan
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
You bet! Modi lent one billion US dollars to Putin for him to develop the resources in Eastern Russia. Both sides win with this deal!
Now if China flexes its muscles on its Eastern borders, it may find itself fighting wars on two fronts
Alex says
India has long been armed by Russia. The Indian Air Force uses MiGs and Sukois. The Indian Navy has Russian-designed vessels. The Indian Army has Russian armoured vehicles.
Infidel says
No, there’s no way Modi would lend such currency to Putin. What Delhi has done is have a deal with Moscow where they’ll accept each other’s currency. Which makes sense since the rouble is at par with the rupee
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Infidel, I was using the US equivalent, so readers could understand the scale of the deal. I’m sure that the actual deal was done in the form of loan guarantees so no cash changed hands.
As far as weapons are concerned, my understanding is that India has always bought both from the Russians and the US equally, in order to set a certain level of neutrality.
ninetyninepct says
Expect Islamic Pakistan to go nuclear fairly quickly.
Where there is violence there is likely Islam. Where there is Islam there IS violence.
Leslie Fish says
So there are 1.25 billion Muslims in the world? Well, there are 1.3 billion Hindus, 1.5 billion Chinese, and an equal number of Christians — and all of them have good reason to hate the Muslims. i can’t think of any country that loves Pakistan.
Lookmann says
“ Muslims will rise against India: Imran Khan ”
Only in his dreams. Pakistani Kashmir is under occupation with influx of Punjabis and Pathans
decimating the locals. They do not like Pakistan.

Chand says
Very true, Lookman. Pakistani Kashmiris do not like Pakistan at all and want to secede.
India, too, by abrogating the Special Status or autonomy clause in Indian Kashmir wants to squash the secessionist movement there by hoping to ethnically swamp the local population there with people and projects from the rest of India.

He may very well face death for the blasphemy of deflating the number of muslims(1.2/5 billion) that they have been inflating for islamic political purposes(1.5-6 billion).

I noticed that as well.

*looks at how the alleged 1.25 billion muslims don’t give a rat’s ass to what happens to “Palestinians” and Uyghurs*

Westman says
Claiming the world’s Muslims care about what happens in Kashmir wax a gross exaggeration to manipulate the crowd who was listening. Politicians always talk the talk to soothe the outraged voters yet rarely walk the talk.
If the Muslim world is so in love with Pakistan, where are the throngs of Muslim immigrants clamoring to become Pakistanis? For those Muslims watching Pakistan their thought are more like, “those belicose guys are going to set us back another hundred years!”
Angemon says
BTW, 1.25 billion Muslims around the world? Still way less than the infidels – there’s an estimate 1.1 billion Hindus and 2.1 billion Christians alone… India is not alone – the “eyes of the international community” argument go both ways. In other words: my big brother is bigger and stronger than your big brother…
Hugh Fitzgerald says
While he has everything else wrong, I hope Imran Khan has his figures right. It is comforting to think that there are not 1.8 or 1.6 or 1.4 but, rather, 1.25 billion Muslims. Maybe he knows something.

Hear, hear, Hugh!
Geof says
Most of the atrocities in Kasmir are from muslums
Paul J says
“Palestine is wearing a bit thin so we’ll just invent another cause to justify our 1400 year old jihad against humanity”; thinks Imran Khan to himself.
Gallon says
@Geof The people who are arming their young kids with rifles & granades and who are waving ISIS flags can be hardly considered ‘victims’. Can they?
In last 42 days there were atleast 5 incidents in which terrorists murders their Kashmiri Ummah brothers because these people dared to live like decent human beings.
No coverage of these murders shows how accomodating the pop media is to the ‘jihadis’.
mortimer says
When push comes to shove, most of the Muslims in India will side with India. They’re doing quite nicely in India, thank you, and they are better educated, a higher standard of living and have better jobs in India.
PM Khan is playing to the peanut gallery. He is a demagogue to be turfed by anyone with a brain in the next national election in Pakistan.
Talk about starting a world war is totally irresponsible and unacceptable.
Terry Gain says
I am intrigued by this story. I saw Khan being interviewed on TV about a month ago. He seemed so reasonable, I was shocked.
gravenimage says
I hope so, Mortimer. But Muslims do not always act in their best interests, let alone ours–Islam often trumps all.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.

What Khan is saying is that all pious Muslims want to steal land from Infidels.

Keep dreaming!!1 LOl.. eEven Saudi Arabia din’t listen to your ummah call!
Kerry Wade says
Pakistan has no chance whatsoever if it starts war with India, they know it which is why Khan is whining and going to the UN to cry in their laps. And yes, he’s was a crap cricketer.
jca reid says
The megalomania is infecting Muslim Leaders. first Turkish Premier Erdogan & now Pakistan’s, Khan. They know Islam is nothing but a Desert Nazi Bandit Death Cult with the tag of being a ‘religion’. If Pakistan & India’s Muslim population kick off against India, they will be wiped out. EVERY male over the age of 12 will be killed. Pakistan has no real Allies that will support them with any significance militarily. US, UK & Russia, (does big deals with India, with them buying a LOT of Russian hardware). Years ago my father was in India during WW2 & post Independence. He said they should never have partitioned India in the first place.
janwog says
Let them start the global Jihad, so Islam could be eliminated from the face of the world.
Foster says
There are only three societies that survived Islamic wars since 7th Century. Franks won in 732 AD against Umayyad Caliphs, Siege of Vienna in 1529 against Ottoman Turks where Hapsburg Empire won and lastly, Hindus in India survived Muslim invasions that lasted for 700 years. An Indian historian Professor K.S. Lal estimates that the Hindu population in India decreased by 80 million between 1000 AD and 1525 AD, an extermination unparalleled in world history. This slaughter of millions of people occurred over regular periods during many centuries of Arab, Afghan, Turkish and Mughal rule in India. 40% of the population were forced to convert to Islam. these original Hindus now form Islamic nations like Pakistan, Bangladesh. Even Afghanistan was Hindu and Buddhist, now Islamic. https://www.sikhnet.com/news/islamic-india-biggest-holocaust-world-history
Survivors who know history cannot be defeated. Pakistan will be destroyed and divided like it was divided in 1971. India now is the only nation besides Israel that truly understands the Islamic threat.

SHRIRAM DATTATRAY MOGHE says
Dear Foster….You are a real historian and visionary…. share your analysis with German, French and British leaders…..they are greatly fond of barbaric islamists….
RS says
He forgets that 1.25 billion “muslims” are ready to fight 1.25 billion “muslims”. There should be a lot muslims who understand that islam is not a religion.
War could be a good chance for “muslims” to convert if pakistan loses badly, that could create actual peace in the region.
