World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Saeed? You mean Azhar?
I have no idea, though I could think of a few reasons (including that the three people who would normally lead such a prayer are all dead).
Yeah... no. According to Wikipedia,
If everyone working in any of those activities is a terrorist, then by a similar logic all Indian government employees are affiliated with the Indian army and therefore valid military targets, "even if they're there to sweep the floors", because the Indian army is by far the biggest terrorist organization in Kashmir. If we reject that logic, then the three men who were killed in the strike are civilians who were affiliated with LeT's peaceful wing. You can hate "indoctrination" all you want (if that's indeed what they were doing); that still doesn't make a building a valid military target. Unless you'd like Kashmiri militants to attack Kashmiri Hindu priests who advocate against separation from India.
So for religious education with no combat purpose to speak of? That's militant infrastructure? In that case any Indian schools are valid targets for Kashmir militants, because this logic goes both ways.
Assuming the government takeover is just for show, which you haven't provided concrete evidence for beyond speculation. that's circular reasoning. Also, it's entirely possible that LeT is condemned in most of Pakistan and still supported in Kashmir, especially since LeT is a lot more than a militant organization. I'd wager the people they aided in the Kashmir earthquake would be perfectly willing to go to their mosque, for example. It seems to me like you're using excessively simplistic lines of thought to derive the conclusion you want.
Because everything you just mentioned works just as well as a coincidence as it would if your claim was correct. What you've outlined here, if charitably interpreted (or uncharitably depending on how you look at it) warrants a "hmm, maybe we should look into this further", but doesn't serve on its own as evidence that anything rocket-worthy was going on in Murikde.
Why do you trust the Indian army so much? Have you not considered the possibility that they simply don't care, given that they're taking orders from a known fascist?
*Azhar. Yes, it's a terrorist organisation. It is a UN designated terrorist organisation. If you're calling 'religious education' given to men like Ajmal Kasab (he mentioned it in his confession) then I have nothing to say to you. The Indian army doesn't tell people to kill Hindus, it employs both Hindus and Muslims. Indian schools don't tell us to kill Muslims, this is some delusional shite.
Okay, and? There's no label that makes everyone you stick it with okay to bomb. According to international law (and common human decency), you have to look at what that person actually does before you can decide whether they're okay to bomb or not. To repeat myself, no terrorist organization in Kashmir is worse than the Indian government's reign of terror.
-Wikipedia. There's a reason only Indian-administered Kashmir is the site of a decades-long insurgency.
Read the article before you make such claims. Because it quite literally does tell people to kill Muslims. There's a whole subsection in the article titled "mass graves" ffs.
Here's my guess: They teach that India has a legitimate claim to Kashmir and Pakistan is infringing on its territory. If that's the case, then given the shit Indian soldiers get up to in Kashmir separatists would have a case in saying that Indian achools and anti-separatist Hindu temples are sites of indoctrination and that makes attacking them okay. If it's okay for you, it's okay for them, because just as you have your terror attacks they have their mass graves and half widows.
