Saudi Backed Ideology invades Kashmir Valley

. .
Does this Wahabbi ideology exist amongst Israel's minorities?

I could not say that there are no Wahabists in Israel but they are a minority within the minority.

Our sickular leaders believe in being politically correct - and our Constitution allows anything and everything no matter how barbaric it is, so nothing will come out of it.

You have a choice then, brother. You have elections coming up.

in most states of India, there are separate mosques run by salaffis(whahabi) and J&K may not be an exception. enforcement of burqah started decades back. even in progressive cities like bangalore, you can see these full body covered women and extremely religious men wearing arabic attire.

Yes we do and still a good year away, let's see what happens.

wasabi ideology will remain as long as oil is there in Saudi. once its over end of this crap. saudi will only get money from tourism revenues of haj.

Its called funding the future..More radicals and fundos more fervour to attend the Hajj.
My mom tells me that back in the old days, even the rich and affulent went on Hajj very rarely may be one elder person from the family but these days it is becoming a ritual with people competing to score "Hajj" points!

1,75,000 crore from Wahabis +31000 crore from evangelists ( http://articles.timesofindia.indiat...a/28672144_1_associations-top-donor-donations) .....I think we are getting good FDI in religion

Many of these donations are actually transactions to front ops for evading the tax man!

The resurgent Sufi faith was an answer to the fast growing popularity of the hard faith of Salafi Islam in Kashmir. The Saudi Arabian-trained Salafi preachers were telling people in their sermons across the length and breadth of Kashmir that venerating tombs and shrines of mystics, an old cultural practice of Kashmir, was a heresy for which the Creator would punish them in the hereafter. This view, previously unheard of in Kashmir, was not just reviving the Sufi believers to defend their beliefs, but also pitting the two against one another.
This past summer, at least half a dozen shrines and other places of worship were either partially or completely burned. The burning of the 200-year-old Dastageer Sahib shrine in Srinagar was the biggest shock. Early one morning, worshipers spotted smoke rising from the rooftop of the shrine and before the fire tenders could put out the flames, the entire shrine had been destroyed. Men and women were seen beating their chests and crying in pain at the loss. At first, the fire was blamed on faulty wiring in the shrine, but when it became clear that the electricity in the area at the time was cut off, suspicion began to emerge that it might be sabotage. The Sufi believers openly blamed Salafi followers for creating an atmosphere of hate against the practice of shrine-going in Kashmir. Some of the Salafi adherents openly gloated on social networking sites that the shrine was a place where the shrine-goers indulged in “un-Islamic practices” and its burning was a divine act of putting the wrong thing right.
So far, police investigations have found no direct link to any sectarian group that might have torched the shrine. Probes into fires at other places of worship have yielded no conclusive answer to what caused those fires. But the burnings of the places of worship this past summer were seen as the beginnings of new sectarian strife in Kashmir.

Friction like these are what fragment the society. People should be free to believe what they want but also keep it to themselves and not try to fight pitch battles of spiritual superiority over each other! When a self-professed group of moral police sets out to straights every else for the sake of afterlife - the communal fractions begin to take shape. Rigorous and fiery mullah sermons of today will be turned to bullets and bombs tomorrow!

I am not saying the Sufi's are right, they represent the other extreme end of spectrum. Exploiting people with graves!
 
. .
Well the same way you have secular Hindus and extremist die hard Hindus with more hard liner tendencies same applies to Muslims (majority) of Kashmir
 
.
Kashmiris are Muslims they can do what they want! Taking aid for building mosques is good thing where their mosques were destroyed by Indian army! They dont even have money or jobs so they cant build mosques because they live in a conflict zone!
 
.
This ideology is the scourge of the Muslim world.. and is responsible for the decline in tolerance and progressiveness in religious thought.

Simple lies and paid propaganda.

Why shall i not check tolerance of scourge shia and hindus?
