Kashmir's Ethnic Cleansing & the Strangling of Tolerant Islam

by Joe Katzman at October 30, 2005 2:01 AM

There's an ethnic cleansing campaign going on in Kashmir: of Muslims against Hindus. India Defence traces the history of this campaign, and the supplanting of the tolerant Kashmiriat strain of Islam (one that included people like Abdul Ghaffar Khan and his Gandhian Khudai Khidmatgar movement) with Qtubite Deobandi/ Maududi preachers of hate and death.

The report notes that more than 250,000 Pandit Hindu refugees have been driven out of Kashmir into neighbouring states during the last 15 years.

Somehow I have a feeling that the better part of this century's history is going to involve dealing with the spread of Wahhabbism.

I was never one to extol the 'clash of civilizations' theory, but the more I read the more depressed I become.

Alot of violent dangerous people have been created by this movement. That's not going to be an easy problem to correct and it is not just going to go away, nor will it be in an increasingly technically capable world a tolerable situation.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
