The topic had nothing to do with religion but you had to drag that in anyway. You might not have meant your post to be offensive but it was.
Do you think that supporting GoP or some overzealous elements in their security establishment have anything to do with Islam or muslims? Allah will not ask you at the day of judgment wether you are Pakistani or you supported them before sending you to Jannah.
One of the things that you will be asked is wether you upheld your treaties as a nation. There is a hadith of the prophet Muhammed SAW which says that the nation that does not uphold its treaties honestly will be break into parts. Its a continuation of the importance of honesty given in Islam. Covert war therefore has no sanction in Islam, so Kargil and operation Gibraltar type operations are a big no no. You should revoke your treaty publicly and then declare war. Remember that GoP has signed an LoC treaty that is to be honored.
Do you know that J&K infantry rifles consists of locals? That the J&K police is 70% muslim? That the SOG special forces consists of locals and ex-militants who want to get rid of these terrorists?
The munafiqs are those who are duplicitous in nature. While its ok for the PA to attack and get rid of TTP and the like, who claim (rightly or wrongly) to fight the puppet GoP who is under American control why is it wrong for the J&K police and army to fight against the same people who claim that the elected govt. of J&K is an "Indian puppet". Or why is it wrong for the ANA and NATO forces to fight the Afghan Taliban who want have the same end goal as TTP or HUJI/LeT in Kashmir - to establish a "so called sharia state" - and claim to fight the "puppet GoAfghanistan".
I guess fate has created a situation to make the Pakistani public understand who is being duplicitous. It is probably in all three cases, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir; either the so called "mujahideen" groups are wrong (which they are ofcourse), or they are right.
Atleast TTP type groups aren't being munafiqs in this sense as they are using the same logic (wrongly ofcourse) as was taught to them when fighting in Afghanistan or Kashmir.
The vocal section clamoring for independence of Kashmir can't do that on basis of Muslim card as pointed out nicely by the current KNP spokesman who is of Pakistani Kashmiri origin- Shabbir Choudary
here , nor on the basis of UN resolutions of which Pakistan was a party.
They can only accede to either India or Pakistan. Again there is no Jihad or Quranic sanction for this, it is just the will of the people and hopefully that will be heard if only we can stop militants threatening to shoot any Hurriyet leader who wants to talk to GoI and resolve in a peaceful way. See the hypocrisy ?
Yes, Indian muslims have problems, we are not living in paradise and have many legitimate grievances, but GoP has not done anything to help them constructively. If GoP is interested in helping only those muslims who are willing for various circumstances who are interested in only violence against India, then that is not helpful.
Maybe things would have been different if instead of groups like LeT or HUJI, we had Pakistani NGOs helping the poor Indian muslim (or even non-muslim) women and children in literacy health or other fields.
P.S.: Before I get responses saying TTP is not the same groups as Afghan Taliban or LeT or HUJI e.t.c, I want to clarify that operationally of course they are not, but their end goal is the same and hence they are all deviant until and unless they change their end goal of establishing a so called sharia state of their liking and justifying violence and killing of civilians in a cowardly manner to do so.
@topic
Pakistan is a neighbor of India, there is no way around negotiating and bettering relations. In this era of globalization, it is foolish to go for a wall between countries no matter how easy it seems. Maybe a better way would for India to improve relations with other SAARC countries as a prelude of good faith, particularly Nepal and Bangladesh who have/had become a conduit for anti-India activities.
We can only show antipathy to Pakistan at our own risk. Just ignoring Pakistan is like putting your head in the sand. Some things will work, some wont. But thats how realpolitk is.
