    Here's the original FB post: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater

    I follow a few Lebanese and Pakistani resistance folks. The Lebanese lady I follow is Shia and she usually posts resistance stuff to this affect. It appears that she shared this post from an Indian Shia. There's another lady, of Pakistani descent but American born/bred. She's a former Miss NJ and an RT correspondent. Her name is Sameera Khan. (She's the leftist Bhutto supporter who thinks Imran Khan is right-wing). Whats interesting about how both ladies agree politically with anti-Imperialist views but are far apart religiously. The Pakistani lady is a Sunni who has no qualms about dressing up in little swimsuits and the Lebanese Shia lady is most likely a headscarf wearer but doesn't post any pictures of herself, which is common among extreme conservative Muslim women.

    From what I have read is that Indian Kashmir has very little press freedom, so I'm guessing thats why its hard to find articles to the protests happening there.

    Furthermore, I have found out a lot about the Shia sect and its practices. For example, they have a lot of processions and demonstrations. They have two big ones, one is called Ashura and the other which occurs 40 days after Ashura is called Arbaeen.

    These processions are not banned in India but are banned in Indian part of Kashmir.The Lebanese lady also shared this picture of Indian soldiers arresting Shia procession goers:





    These processions were also banned under Saddam's Iraq but revived after the US invasion. Now the processions in Iraq are huge and record breaking.

    Iran's PressTV does criticize India for its treatment of Kashmiri Shias (you can find articles on PressTV's site about that), but Iran still maintains strong relations with India.

    that's exactly the insight I was wanting.

    Kashmir is a very complex region with competing interests
    politically and geographically... there's a LARGE percentage
    historically that want independence from EVERYBODY.
    (good luck w/ that.)

    Yep. Kashmir has been ruled by many peoples, but not by the Kashmiri themselves. Before the Brits, they were ruled by the Sikhs under the Sikh Empire. Before that by the Mughals, and other various Persian/Afghan empires. Now they're in a tug of war between Pakistan, India and a little bit of China sprinkled there as well.

    LOL. Well the pakistani girl Sameera is quite funny when she rails against liberals, especially in the MSM.
    From following Sameera and the War Nerd/Gary Brecher on FB, I learned that leftists who are not American REALLY hate American liberals.

    But they're also young, like I was once, and also somewhat more into leftist politics, even though I knew about Ron Paul (mostly due to his antiwar/pro marijuana stance), but never really read economics. But once you do, and you hear Ron Paul speak about freedom, how can one not become free-market libertarian capitalist?

    India on Friday announced the withdrawal of Most Favoured Nation status for Pakistan.
    The move followed a cabinet meeting during which Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was briefed on a recent attack on Indian security forces in occupied Kashmir, in which 44 paramilitary soldiers were killed, Indian media reported.
    Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in a press briefing said that Modi's cabinet had decided to initiate steps to ensure complete diplomatic isolation of Pakistan.
    "The MFN status that had been granted to Pakistan stands withdrawn," he added. In the World Trade Organization (WTO), this status means non-discrimination — treating virtually everyone equally.
    "The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) will initiate all possible steps ─ and I'm referring to [...] diplomatic steps ─ which have to be taken to ensure the complete isolation from the international community of Pakistan," Jaitley said on Friday, adding that there is "incontrovertible evidence" of Pakistan "having a direct hand in this gruesome terrorist incident".

    The United States has told India it supports its right to defend itself against cross-border attacks, the government in New Delhi said on Saturday as it considers retaliation against a car bombing in disputed Kashmir claimed by Pakistan-based militants.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, facing a general election by May, is under pressure from hardline groups for more decisive action against Pakistan.U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton spoke to his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval on Friday night, promising to help bring those behind the attack to justice, the Indian foreign ministry said in a readout of the phone call.
    "The two NSAs vowed to work together to ensure that Pakistan cease to be a safe haven for JeM and terrorist groups that target India, the U.S. and others in the region," the foreign ministry said.
    "They resolved to hold Pakistan to account for its obligations under U.N. resolutions," it added.
    Pakistan condemned Thursday's attack, in which the bomber slammed into a military convoy, and denied any complicity.
    The foreign ministry accused India of hacking into its website, a move it said blocked access from many parts of the world.
    "We knew that the Indians will do such a cheap thing," spokesman Mohammad Faisal said.
    There was no immediate response from India on the allegation.
    India has for years accused Muslim Pakistan of backing separatist militants in divided Kashmir, which the neighbors both claim in full but rule in part.
    Pakistan denies that, saying it only offers political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people in their struggle for self-determination.
    Modi said on Saturday he had given a free hand to the military to respond to acts of violence.
    "The country understands the anger simmering within the soldiers," he said at a political rally in western Maharashtra state.


    As the bodies of the policemen who died in the car bomb reached their homes in small towns across India, crowds waving the Indian flag gathered in the streets to honor them and demand revenge.
    Others held flowers as they walked behind the coffins in the towns of Jabalpur, Varanasi and Moga, television showed.
    Tens of thousands of troops, paramilitary police and state police are deployed across scenic Kashmir to quell the nearly 30-year revolt there, India's only Muslim-majority region.
    In Jammu, the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir, authorities imposed a curfew for a second day after mobs attacked vehicles and pelted stones at the homes of Kashmiris, saying they sympathized with the militants.
    Sanjeev Verma, the divisional commissioner of Jammu, said that the curfew will remain until further orders to maintain law and order. An army column staged a flag march.
    Kashmiris living in other cities of India also faced a backlash. Aqib Ahmad, a student in the northern Indian hill town of Dehradun, said his landlord asked him to vacate the house.
    The landlord told him he feared people would attack his property for renting it out to a Kashmiri.

    Iran warned neighboring Pakistan on Saturday it would "pay a heavy price" for allegedly harboring militants who killed 27 of its elite Revolutionary Guards in a suicide bombing near the border earlier this week, state television reported.Revolutionary Guards chief Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari also accused Tehran's regional rival Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates of supporting militant Sunni groups that attack Iranian forces, saying they could face "reprisal operations."
    Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE deny backing such militants.
    "Why do Pakistan's army and security body ... give refuge to these anti-revolutionary groups? Pakistan will no doubt pay a high price," Jafari said in remarks live on state television.
    Jafari was addressing a large crowd gathered for the funeral of the victims of Wednesday's suicide bombing, which took place in a southeastern region where security forces are facing a rise in attacks by militants from the country's Sunni Muslim minority.
    "Just in the past year, six or seven suicide attacks were neutralized but they were able to carry out this one," Jafari told the mourners, who packed a square in the central city of Isfahan and roads leading to it.
    The Sunni group Jaish al Adl (Army of Justice), which says it seeks greater rights and better living conditions for the ethnic minority Baluchis, claimed responsibility for the attack.

    "The treacherous Saudi and UAE governments should know that Iran's patience has ended and we will no longer stand your secret support for these anti-Islam criminals," Jafari said.
    "We will avenge the blood of our martyrs from the Saudi and UAE governments and ask the President (Hassan Rouhani) ... to leave our hands free more than ever for reprisal operations," Jafari told the crowd, drawing chants of "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest).
    Iran's Shi'ite Muslim authorities say militant groups operate from safe havens in Pakistan and have repeatedly called on the neighboring country to crack down on them.

    Already, Indian military sources told the FT that Modi - who is facing a close election in the coming months, and is likely seeking to burnish his hardline Hindu nationalist credentials - is considering whether to order "stand off" strikes that would involve deploying fighter jets to fire missiles into the Pakistani-controlled side of Kashmir, as Modi has vowed to "avenge every tear" shed after last week's attack. Analysts have said he will be feeling pressure to push for a military response.
    In a series of public speeches while inaugurating a new public works project before upcoming parliamentary elections, Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, continued to express fury at last week’s attack. He vowed to “avenge every tear” and said that India’s military had been given a free hand to decide on an appropriate response.
    "The fire that is raging in your hearts is in my heart too," Mr Modi told a huge crowd in Bihar on Sunday. The previous day, Mr Modi declared that "how, when, where and who will punish the killers and their promoters will be decided by our forces, who are capable of dealing with the situation."
    Indian security forces are reportedly considering potential responses, including “stand-off” strikes which involve using air force planes to fire missiles into Pakistani-held territory from across the line of control that divides Muslim-majority Kashmir between the two countries.
    Meanwhile, Pakistani officials have been working with western powers to try and convince them to restrain India. But with the US's relationship with Pakistan also in a state of deterioration under the Trump administration, it's unclear exactly how effective those efforts will be. In a tweet sent over the weekend, NSA John Bolton warned that Pakistan "must crack down on JeM and all terrorists operating from its territory."
    I expressed condolences to NSA Doval yesterday for the reprehensible terrorist attack on India. Pakistan must crack down on JeM and all terrorists operating from its territory. Countries should uphold UNSC responsibilities to deny safe haven and support for terrorists @nsaajit
    — John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) February 16, 2019
    New Delhi has accused Pakistan of providing JeM with "full freedom" to operate, and is demanding that the government in Islamabad take immediate and "verifiable" steps to crack down on the group. Pakistan, meanwhile, has denied any responsibility and instead blamed the attack on Indian intelligence lapses.
    Analysts have warned that the situation is tense and risks "dangerous escalation".
    "He is basically promising a pretty significant retaliatory strike," said Vipin Narang, professor of political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "All the signs are that they are considering some sort of stand-off strike from across the LOC into Pakistani targets. The risk is that Modi miscalculates how far he can go without provoking a significant Pakistani response." Pakistani troops are on a heightened state of alert along the de facto border even as a senior Pakistani foreign ministry official said diplomats were lobbying western countries to “restrain India from a military offensive."
    It's worth remembering that, should a military conflict break out between the two neighboring powers, it could quickly escalate to nuclear war. Because while India has pledged never to use its nuclear weapons in a first strike response, Pakistan's military doctrine states that it wouldn't hesitate to use tactical nuclear weapons if attacked by India, which enjoys far superior conventional firepower.
    And with the US increasingly unsympathetic to Islamabad, it would be presumably fall to China and Russia to ensure peace in the region.

    ‘The Time for Talks is Over’
    India has blamed the suicide attack on Pakistan, which it says harbors the JeM group, and threatened a “jaw-breaking response.”
    Pakistan has warned India against linking it to the attack without an investigation, saying that it was part of New Delhi’s “known rhetoric and tactics” to divert global attention from human rights violations in Kashmir.
    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday rejected the possibility of talks with Pakistan following the deadly bombing.
    “The Pulwama terror attack shows that the time for talks is over,” Modi said in a reference to a possible dialogue with Islamabad to ease tensions. “Now the entire world needs to unite to take concrete steps to deal with terrorism and supporters. Not taking strict measures against terrorism and those against humanity, also encourages terrorism.”

    Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has ordered the release of about 2,100 Pakistani prisoners from the kingdom's jails during a high-profile visit to Islamabad, Pakistan's information minister said on Monday.Prince Mohammed arrived in Pakistan on Sunday at the beginning of an Asian tour, which will include China and is seen as an attempt by him to rebuild his reputation after the murder of Saudi critic and journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
    Saudi Arabia on Sunday signed investment agreements with Pakistan worth $20 billion.
    The crown prince had "ordered the immediate release of 2,107 Pakistani prisoners", after a request by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said in a post on Twitter.
    The fate of thousands of Pakistani workers locked up in jails across the Middle East is a sensitive issue in Pakistan, where there is a perception the prisoners are mostly poor laborers who have no real legal recourse.
    Huge numbers of Pakistanis travel to the Middle East every year, with many working on construction sites or as domestic helpers. The remittances they send back are vital for Pakistan's dollar-starved economy.
    Saudi Arabia has yet to comment on the Pakistani announcement of a prisoner release.
    The crown prince's visit marks a deepening of ties between allies whose relationship has in the past centered on oil-rich Saudi Arabia backing Pakistan's economy during difficult periods, and in return Pakistan's powerful army lending support to Saudi Arabia and its royal family.
    As the guardians of most holy sites in the birthplace of Islam, the Saudi royal family carries vast religious influence in Pakistan, a staunchly conservative and mostly Muslim country of 208 million people.

    Saudi Arabia has in recent months helped keep Pakistan's economy afloat by propping up rapidly dwindling foreign reserves with a $6 billion loan, giving it breathing room as it negotiates a bailout with the International Monetary Fund.

    Indian forces have detained 23 men suspected of links to the Pakistan-based militant group that masterminded the bombing of an Indian security convoy that killed 44 paramilitary police, a top police official said on Sunday.
    The 23 men included members and sympathisers of Jaish-e-Mohammad, the militant group that claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack, the deadliest on Indian security forces in decades.


    Representatives of India's National Investigating Agency questioned the suspects about the bombing on Sunday, two security officials said.
    "They are trying to reach out to the top commanders of Jaish-e-Mohammad, including its Kashmir Chief," one of the sources said.
    Mohammed Umair, the commander of the group in Kashmir who is believed to have plotted the attack, is suspected to be hiding in the region where the attacks took place, the officials said.
    The officials say Mr Umair had "radicalized and motivated" the Kashmiri school dropout who rammed a car laden with explosives into the convoy on Thursday.
    Mr Umair is thought to have entered Indian Kashmir from Pakistan in September to head the Jaish in the region.
    Security forces suspect he is in hiding in southern Kashmir, according to the officials, who could not be named as a matter of policy.
    Indian officials say Mr Umair is a nephew of Jaish-e-Mohammad's chief, Masood Azhar, who is believed to be in Pakistan.

    India's army said Tuesday it had killed the mastermind of a major suicide bomb attack in Kashmir which it blamed on Pakistan, as calls grew for reprisals over the deaths of more than 40 paramilitaries and soldiers.Indian forces have staged operations since Thursday's attack while anti-Pakistan and anti-Kashmir sentiment has spread across the country, fuelled by social media including widely shared false news reports.
    Three militants from the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) group, which claimed responsibility for the suicide attack, were killed in a gunbattle that lasted much of Monday, Lieutenant General Kanwal Jeet Singh Dhillon told a press conference in Srinagar.
    Two of the militants were Pakistanis, including the group's "chief operations commander" in Kashmir, the army general said.
    Dhillon said the attack had been "masterminded" by Pakistan, and specifically its powerful Inter-Services Intelligence branch.


    The deaths of the Indian security men have triggered nationwide anger.
    Multiple attacks on Kashmiris have been reported, while arrests have been made for social media comments seen as supporting Pakistan or the militants.
    Fliers were distributed in parts of New Delhi on Monday, urging "Hindu brothers" to maim and kill "Muslim traitors".
    Fake videos and photos purportedly showing Thursday's attack have flooded social media. The Central Reserve Police Force, which was the target of the attack, urged caution over "fake pictures" on social media.
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces increased pressure to act as his Hindu nationalist government is expected to call a national election within weeks.
    The government has already withdrawn trade privileges for Pakistan, ended police protection for four Kashmiri separatist leaders, and halted some cross-border services.
