BREAKING NEWS- India has launched strikes on Pakistan

[BucketFacer]

More war 😪

Radical Islamists invoke the Hadith (the oral traditions attributed to the Prophet Muhammad) to prophesize a great battle in India between true believers and unbelievers before the end-times. These references in the Hadith to the Ghazwa-e-Hind (Battle of India) infuse South Asia with importance as a battleground in the efforts to create an Islamic caliphate resembling the social order that existed at the time of the Prophet Muhammad and the Rightly Guided Caliphs (632-661 AD).

This concept is openly invoked on social media and further fuelled by the notion that some lands are "muslim land" by virtue of having been ruled by islamic empires in the past ie Spain, India, Eastern Europe must return to islamic subjugation.

None of these ideas are new nor made up by islamophobes.

Thank you @miraxxx

Some of you will be very disappointed (judging from your posts on here) to hear that both sides have agreed to a ceasefire.
But it's fantastic news to someone like me, who care about humanity.

I saw the news and welcome it. Hopefully it holds and things calm down. There is still the long term relationship to deal with but at least this is a step.

Congratulations on caring about humanity.
Me, I only care about earthworms.🙄

I doubt you are alone in wanting that.

It’s not good to hear about countries escalating.

Weirdest post I've read for a while. Are you ok?

Thank you for asking. Yes I'm fine, although I wasn't last week after reading some of the toxic, hate filled posts on here. One specifically wanting Pakistan to be Palestined. Just to add, I'm a Pakistani Muslim myself.

Agree, we have enough wars in the world.

The thought of two nuclear powers escalating was stressful. If the US can help broker peace then good.

Happy to see India successfully neutralise terrorist threats

Yeah..Ceasefire already broken. Too good to be true.

Who broke it?

I cringe for self-declared humanitarians. I am grateful not to have reached such levels of unaware pomposity.

Hard to tell.

Huge blasts heard in Srinagar, I think we can guess which side broke it. If it is indeed broken.

Pakistan's army does not and has never taken orders from their PM.

Caring for humanity doesn’t have to be pompous. It can just mean trying to be decent, even when no one’s watching. Not everyone who says they care is virtue signaling—some are just trying to do their part. It’s better than wanting to wipe out an entire nation after the actions of a few.

Oh no. Stressful

Uneasy peace today.

For those who want to make this an evil right wing Hindus versus vulnerable Muslims issue, Indian Muslims are coming out to speak against Pakistan and its sponsoring of Islamic terror. This man is one of India's prominent Muslim leaders, while also being a staunch opponent of Modi.

It's fascinating. As mentioned on the other thread, PK sees India as an existential threat as an aspiring world power. But the irony is that to counter that, it's ended up cuddling up next to China, which really is a world power, and which unlike the Amriki, who the military were able to successfully rip off to the tune of billions in the War on Terror, really won't take kindly to being fckd around when their Belt and Road engineers get killed by assorted terror groups that the ISI have cultivated relationships with.

This is from the RAND corporation but fairly detailed on recent relations.

Or maybe we could invite @bejollynewt to spam us with AI videos on the great victory the Pakistani military have just achieved to learn more

The belt and road initiative invites sabotage unfortunately by splinter groups. Pakistan really has no economy while it's neighbours are striding ahead.

Friend who worked for DFID was visiting yet again Islamabad to sort out grants and aid. The group had only just arrived at the compound when they were bundled back into cars driven back to the airport put on a plane along with embassy staff because some group had decided to kill them all. They did attack but found the birds had flown.

That article you linked @Lalgarh from Rand is an eyeopener for bleeding heart liberals. Chinese engineers are being attacked by terrorists! What do they have to do with Kashmir?
But of course the West has not learnt that Islamic terrorism will kill everyone and everything. Instead, they will blame it on brown people.

@Lalgarh thanks for inviting me to this thread. It is true that china is on pakistan's side, and usa is also coming to rescue pakistan and it's enemy russia is kinder with pakistan too . what does it mean, it sounds something to do with our foreign policy ?

Yes , I am really worried about both islamic and hindutva terrorism . many being killed / jailed with in country . I question to BJP government just because they are in the power.

I do not want to see the dictatorship, which will put India into pakistan's situation.

The ceasefire seems to have held so far. The Indian military is far stronger.
