Are they done stoning that woman?

You are right their stoning grant you the right of ethnic cleansing of Kashmiris.

If indian govt. have balls than why don't they make their stoning official as they did your killings.

 

[Urbanized Greyhound]

apparently he has no regret whatsoever for either the ethnic cleansing suffered by the Kashmiri pandits over the decades or the thousands of IA soldiers sacrificed by GOI in an attempt to prevent cross border infiltration.....if the media gets even a shred of evidence that he is on the payroll of the ISI like so many others of the hurriyat.....the GOI should arrest him without fail......a real hypocrite if there ever was one.......

Srinagar: A little over two weeks ago, Sheikh Yasir, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front(JKLF) leader Yasin Malik's cousin was fired upon by a policeman when he and his four friends were playing carom outside his home. Yasin Malik's nephew was also injured in the firing.

On Friday, a huge crowd gathered as a father bid a final farewell to his only son, Sheikh Yasir affectionately called Raju , showering almonds and sweets on the body.

The policeman who fired at the boys has been arrested and the police acknowledged that the action was unprovoked but not before the event sparked off widespread outrage and protests.

However, in sharp contrast the Friday's funeral was peaceful marked only by muted quiet mourning. Instead of curses or shrieks, the women of the family came out and sang wedding songs.

Raju was just 30 and as people prepared for his funeral, it appeared that they were bidding farewell to a groom. Just as the family had made it clear that there was to be no violence.

"If you are followers of Prophet Mohammad then just sing for him. Let us send him off like a bridegroom, shower sweets on him, and sing for him," said Sheikh Yasir's father Mohammad Rafiq after the funeral.

This passionate appeal for peace and non-violence came on a day when the valley saw fresh violence. Three more people were killed allegdly in firing by security forces, taking the toll to over 100 in last 3 months.

You have a group of people out rioting. At that point, the soldiers who were meant to protect the buildings decided to shoot these protesters who were hell bent on destroying property, possible attacking the soldiers themselves. You call this ethnic cleansing in your part of the world? Are your soldiers in the Northwest of Pakistan where they are facing terrorists ethnic cleansing too?

Are you defending some fanatics who use the pretext of someone burning a book to destroy some one else's property?

Just because they say that the stoning of the woman is official or endorsed by their religion, it doesn't make it correct. What balls are they displaying when they talk of stoning a woman for the crime of adultery?

ISLAMABAD – PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif has called upon the international community to take notice of the continued human rights violations in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.

“Obama Administration has an important role to play in the resumption of dialogue process between Pakistan and India as well as in the resolution of all outstanding issues including Jammu and Kashmir,” the former prime minister said while talking to the US Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke who called on him here on Friday.

Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Ch. Nisar Ali Khan and Senator Ishaq Dar were also present in the meeting.

The PML-N Quaid also urged Holbrooke to support Pakistan’s efforts to finalise a Free Trade Agreement with the US and to encourage greater American investments in Pakistan, especially in its energy and power sectors, as these will have a direct bearing on the country’s economy and people’s well-being.

Nawaz noted that aid packages were for limited goals and serve only as the stopgap arrangements. Whereas the greater trade and foreign investments help in strengthening the country’s economy and generating employment opportunities, which reduce the likelihood of the youth turning towards militancy and extremism, he added.
He emphasised the need that the Obama Administration should finalise the understandings envisaged in the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, as well as for early approval by the US Congress of the legislation relating to the Reconstruction Opportunity Zones.

Ambassador Holbrooke assured the PML-N Quaid that the US viewed Pakistan as an extremely important country that deserved the help and assistance of the entire international community, in its efforts to confront militancy and to strengthen its economy.

He was of the view that the Obama Administration and US Congress were committed, on a long-term basis to supporting Pakistan and developing its institutions.

The visiting dignitary said that the US was also supportive of Pakistan’s efforts to normalise its relations with India, adding this was essential not only for peace and stability in the region, but also for both the countries to tackle the many challenges confronting them.

He lauded the former Prime Minister for his support and efforts to forge cordial and cooperative relations between Pakistan and India.

Aren't we talking of the same Quoran burning incident here? I am pointing out the hypocrisy of the situation here. Is the Foreign minister saying that it is ok to burn a building a school or whatever because someone threatned your God/Book/Whatever.

Where does the Foreign minister make a statement about a disputed territory??

You mean some one hell bent on destroying property should be allowed just because they are not carrying any guns?
