My optician wife thanks you for the laugh.
Gilette Jihad Ultra !
Let's see, who in Kashmir hates Muslims and is trying to take the territory back. I know, it's the tooth fairies.
sounds more like Hindu Shave.
Hindus, unlike Muslims, are fairly peaceful OUTSIDE of their home country (India). But cross them in their Homeland, and Katy-bar-the-door. Sounds like what a group of freepers might want to do to Osama bin Laden.
These SOBs aren't bad people. They are not people at all. They are demons from hell, and deserve no more mercy than they show to others.
It don't look like this was a jihad. This was enraged Hindus trying to regain control of India.
Animals
I would guess, some popular french brand. They dull faster and ensure more pain to the victim.
Jihad or gee haw. These bastards deserve no mercy and no respect.
It's well to distinguish WHICH bastages we're talking about, though. I doubt seriously if any of the gang that did this horror, will ever show up outside India to pursue their fight. Also I wonder if there could have been a grudge involved, with the gang's families having been recently brutalized and killed by Muslims. This is not a "world problem" it is an India problem.
>>is trying to take the territory back
Back? It's a part of India.
Let me enlighten you, these come over the border from Pakistan, are hopefully killed before they do too much damage.
Try reality.
Thanks for the laugh.
That is a stretch.
What you refer to as a "border" is actually the "line of control" that divides that small country.
The population on both sides of that line is and has been predominantly Moslem for hundreds of years (albeit with a tradionally Hindu government up until Independence).
So, who would grab a Shia, torture him, and then slit his throat. Well, could be a bunch of Twelvers who don't like Seveners (if the guy was a Sevener but nobody said). Or, it could be a secular gang to which he might have refused to pay bakshish. Or, maybe it's some people who didn't like his dental work ~ torturing him shows pretty much that they knew that he was a dentist.
Or, maybe a bunch of Hindu extremists caught and killed him for any one of a variety of reasons which might include not wishing to pay their dental bills, or because he was a Sevener (and since almost all the Seveners are doctors, et al, in Pakistan, and India, that's not far fetched), or because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw something he shouldn't ~ e.g. former customers from Saudi Arabia!
Ah, yes, AlQaida operatives in Kashmir saw someone they didn't trust who could identify them so they tortured and killed him in front of a crowd of onlookers.
Sure sounds like that must be the solution eh?!
>>that small country.
Kashmir isn' a country. Ask the Pakistanis.
Very nice apologist for jihadis and Pak in general.
Sunnis fight against Shia. A lot.
Your shameless justifications for trying to make this a Hindu Muslim thingie is disgusting.
Plus, you assume the dentist was a Shia. How do you know.
Maybe, perhaps, could be, etc etc. Sheesh, try writing fairy tales.
You twist and distort. All seveners, to use your asinine phrasing are doctors. In Pakistan? You are delusional. Most Hindus have left Pakistan. Most Moslems have NOT left India.
Bah. You are an apologist for these whackjobs.
Believe what you want.
Twelvers are all the time killing Seveners ~ mostly out of blind rage, and also because the Seveners know the truth about the Mahdi, and it's not the little kid in the well eh!
Regarding how many Hindus left Pakistan and how many Moslems left India, and how many Hindus stayed behind in Pakistan, etc., these numbers are well known and anybody who doesn't know about the Hindu minority in the South doesn't know much about Pakistan or India.
There's even been a recent National Geographic article that pointed this out ~ it's not a large number, but I was as surprised as you will be. In fact, there are still Hindu shrines in Pakistan that people from India visit. Personally I think that's nuts, but if they think it's worth the risk, then go to it.
I think you missed entirely the fact that I was being totally sarcastic coming up with a gazillion scenarios to address the "who, what, when, where and why" of that dentist's death at the hands of torturers.
Now, regarding whether or not "Kashmir" can be considered a country, I would argue that it has an ancient history of independence as a country long before the arrival of Islam in the Sind and along the Indus.
In fact, it wasn't conquered by Moslems until the late 1300s, but when that happened, the Moslems converted most of the population. Later on, like most of the rest of India, the Moghal empire absorbed it. However, by 1751, the local ruler had managed to extract independence. The Brits didn't subdue the place until 1846.
I know that Hindus have this thing about "conversion" and would argue that the population was forcibly converted to Islam and therefore should bow to Hindu supremacy in the present time. After meeting many people over the years whose families hale from Kashmir, I have yet to find a single one who would agree with you on that point. In fact, depending on the progressiveness of the local variations in Hinduism, which can vary from complete superstitious belief in demons counseled only by hallucinogenic using shamen to very advanced nearly monotheistic structures created by Brahmin guided by highly educated gurus, Islam might well have been an improvement at the time ~ but that's a debate for a different day.
As far as being an "apologist for those whack jobs", I rather think of myself as a totally disinterested, even neutral party, with numerous Moslem and Hindu friends and associates on all sides of every serious issue in South Asia. What I find amazing is that around here so many of them find it possible to co-exist, even at the dinner table. One might suppose that the further you get from India and Pakistan the less meaningful these religious differences really are.
And she is very welcome.
