The public discourse is deeply polarized, filled with emotions ranging from nationalism to skepticism. Many express strong anger and demand retaliatory measures against perceived enemies, fueled by nationalist sentiments and frustration with ongoing terrorism. There's a contrasting voice against mob justice and communal violence, highlighting the importance of law and order. Discussions reflect a mix of nationalistic fervor, skepticism over political motives, sorrow for victims, and broader concerns over regional instability and Islamophobia. The sentiment is marred by aggressive opinions, criticism of government responses, and calls for justice against terrorism.

I totally agree with you. I was watching the news before going to sleep last night and saw it. This terrorist attack is so brutal and horrible. This is bad news for India, the region, and also us.

Such terrorism must be strongly contested. Silencs means soft support. Our government needs to issue a formal statement to show solidarity. We should also show solidarity.

fogrampercot

Disliking India (politically) doesn't mean you should support terrorist attacks on innocent civilians. Alas, most of our countrymen are busy spamming "alhamdulillah" under the news of this attack. They say terrorism has no religion, yet they celebrate when kafirs die.

vyre_016

Those who committed this terrorist act are absolute scums. I hope they are punished for their crimes on Earth and also in Afterlife.

More people continue to lose their lives on the hands of these brainwashed animals, only because of the greed of Indian &amp; Pakistani governments.

What is more terrifying is some Bangladeshi people  celebrating this.

[Looks like](https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/pahalgam-attack-terrorists-checked-ids-pulled-down-pants-to-verify-religion-eyewitnesses-recount-horror-2025-04-23-986863) the terrorists also pulled down pants to verify religion. This is so vile. It reminds me of the Holey Artisan attack.

I’m just spectating the hypocrisy of bangus, some are celebrating, others are hell bent on trying to find a conspiracy and completely in denial, none of them has so far acknowledged the terrorism, I saw one post pointing out that a single Muslim guy died to prove that it wasn’t targeted terrorism, when we literally have eyewitness statements and videos of them checking ids and even genitals to see if they’re hindu and then killing them. This was clearly a jongi attack, and BD people are in their usual denial mode. No one bats an eye when minorities get attacked in BD(hill tract natives, hindus), Police comes forward and completely deny such attacks despite there being direct evidence and Bangus continue to play the victim card.

sanelde_senior

It’s disheartening to see some of my highly educated peers—even those from BUET—celebrating this. Those who are usually the "most vocal about human rights" are either justifying it or remaining silent. At times like these, one can’t help but wonder if affection and solidarity are, after all, tied to religion.

I believe the Government of Bangladesh has already issued a statement condemning the terrorist attack. Most educated individuals likely share the same sentiment. This is a deeply tragic event for humanity.

king_john_2598

Now Indian Muslims will be marginalized even more. 😐

Otcoron

In your second last paragraph you posted hateful anti-Islam stating that  if Bangladeshi Muslims don't condemn the atrocities against India (that sponsors terrorists,  attacks and murders citizens of other countries like Canada &amp; Pakistan) than it is indicative of their faith, what nonsense! You are implicating fellow Bangladeshi Muslims if they don't condemn attack on RSS infested India. 
Are you loyal to Bangladesh or a foreign nation India because you are Hindu? If an Indian Muslim posted this he would be lynched already with his family in jail and their home demolished by your co-religionist RSS fanatic ruling govt. 
Checked your profile haven't seen you condemn when Indian sponsored Baloch terrorists kill Pakistanis? 
So as per your mentality only Hindus are innocent human beings. Very unfortunate psyche and this shows Pakistan and Bangladesh can't trust their Hindu minorities who are more loyal to the enemy state India.

How would Muslims in Pakistan or Bangladesh react if 3 Hindus with guns ask tourists to remove pants to check circumcision, and ask them to recite gayatri mantra, failing which they shoot 26 muslims in the head in front of their wives?

There are bound to be tensions in the most liberal of countries if such a thing happens. In Pakistan, this will definitely lead to massive riots, like those after babri, which led to 30 temples getting destroyed.

More Hindus were killed that day than number of beef based lynchings in about a decade(which are more complicated than simple hate but I digress).

Altruistic_Snow_910

Maybe slightly out of context, but in general what I have felt about Bangladesh is that, when the country is in any crisis, Hindu Muslim everyone comes forward to do something. But if the crisis mostly affects Hindu people then the rest of the country kinda turns a blind eye. Looking at some of the incidents since the liberation war till this recent "second liberation" I kinda developed this feeling. 

When the students were dying in BD, many Hindu people led the protests against it, in many campuses around the world. But right after Hasina left and Hindu people were attacked for no reason, I didn't even see a proper discussion about it in those same circles, let alone any protests.

I guess that's what you get for being born in the minority group.

You said you had to support Palestine. But I am sure you would condemn what Hamas did. I do. But let's be honest and try to understand what are all reasons why Hamas did that. 

Desperate young boys, with no hope for their lives, being oppressed for their entire lives, perhaps their parents were killed, their electricity and water are controlled by Israel. Sometimes killed by the IDF. And Hamas killed innocent civilians. This is strongly unfortunate. But, there will always be this kind of hatred towards the Israeli people and even civilians until there is peace and safety for BOTH of the populace, which Israel doesn't agree. 

Similarly, here. The Indian government has [law, ](https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/03/24/kashmiri-journalist-detained-under-draconian-indian-law)by which it oppresses the Kashmiri people. It has been working day and night to change the demographics of Kashmir. It's highly islamophobic tendencies against Muslims, is only one of the key reason. There are new settlements in Kashmir initiated by the Indian government. It's EXACTLY what Israel did to Palestine. It's fucking SETTLER COLONIALISM! 

When we see through the entire idea, why peace is not possible in the region it's depressing. The Indian government, much likely the Israeli government is not interested in peace, because they are far more powerful than some fucking terrorist living in cave or something. They can garner this terrorism theory to further get votes. 

  
**Moreover, Bangladeshi Muslims don't care about Palestinian or Kashmiri people. They are supporting them, without having read any literature regarding the subject matter. They care about Palestine because of the mosque, and they are muslim. I say I don't care about the mosque. But give people right to life. (so, don't look into comments, they are morons.)**

Sounds like India is very unstable. Kashmir, Punjab, Manipur all fighting for independence. Maybe UN should send their troops there.

It's a black stain on the fight for freedom against India's occupation in jnk. It was a premeditated t**rist hate crime as they were specifically targeting innocent unarmed 'hindus'. This is a dastardly and cowardly and unislamic and actually negatively impacted their cause. Massive L to the trf and as a practicing muslim from a aalim family schooled in tahfeez and a hafez I completely and vehemently condemn this action and the organization as a whole. 

&gt; "(In context of battle) Do not unalive women or children or **non-combatants** and do not unalive old people or **religious people**..."

(Ibn Majah 2858, Abu Dawood 2669)


&gt; "Go forth in the name of Allah... Do not unalive a woman, or a child, or an old man, and do not deface or unalive animals except for food."

(Al-Muwatta, Malik)

As for some of the indians; it's just mob mentality. They do not care about those Hindu lives instead they care about what next to vent their hatred on to forget about their bitter lives. If they had cared they would be sending condolences to the family's and not propagate the same hatred. Instead of providing constructive and nuanced takes and offering intricate steps to a solution they just shut their brains like bottlenose dolphins and chalk it up to Islam and the 2 billions Muslims. Yeah so easy no, "Muslims are the vermins". Well guess what we are here to stay so either give inclusive and positive solution otherwise keep to yourself.

bongorpola

Both BD and India have shit stains. So if some BD people celebrate this, I don't think that matters or we all should be up in arms about that as that's very much expected behavior from both us and our neighbors. There are no shortages of POS in this godforsaken subcontinent.

And for our government, if they want to send their thoughts and prayers it's good, and if they don't want that's also good too. India atm acting like an enemy state,  who cares whatever happens inside them. I am sure Vance will say something derogatory/threatening about BD in his upcoming speech because India asked him to do so. Who cares if communal violence or whatever else rises in that country, let's be fucking indifferent to them.

But nothing to do with us..
Still they will tag the whole Muslims for it..

Unlucky_Client_7118

I often say that the anonymity of the internet and a screen has made people a little too comfortable. Half of me feels like this is great, amazing even. Do this with all these folks, folks who go online and send r@pe threats to women, who degrade others and use language you'd get thrashed for in person.   
The other half of me feels like it's just mob justice. We should have proper channels to investigate these matters, and people should never take the law into their own hands. But when police fail to do the job they are paid to do, people have to take up the mantle. I'm still torn on this.

According to intel agencies 14 local Kashmiris helped &amp; supported Pahalagam Pakistan terrorists. Names below. What is common between ALL OF THEM?:

Mohammad Adil Rahman Dentu (21) Mohammad Asif Ahmed Sheikh (28) Mohammad Ahsan Ahmed Sheikh (23) Mohammad Haris Nazir (20) Mohammad Amir Nazir Wani (20) Mohammad Yawar Ahmed Bhat Mohammad Asif Ahmed Khande (24) Mohammad Naseer Ahmad Wani (21) Mohammad Shahid Ahmed Kute (27) Mohammad Amir Ahmad Dar Mohammed Adnan Safi Dar Mohammad Zubair Ahmad Wani (39) Mohammad Haroon Rashid Ganai (32) Mohammad Zakir Ahmed Ghani (29)

You welcomed a snake into your home, believing it was harmless since it claming that he is not poisonous. You then accused your family of being irrationally fearful of snakes, suggesting they were being unfair to the snake. However, as the snake started reproducing rapidly, it demanded its own space. When you refused, the snake began to attack your children. After witnessing the harm caused to family members, your father eventually agreed to provide the snake with its own room to restore peace. 

Nonetheless, more snakes began entering your space, and your father took steps to remove them. However, you disagreed, labeled him intolerant, snakophobic  and criticized him harshly. Despite your father's attempts to highlight the danger, you persisted, resulting in more snakes being allowed in. As they multiplied, the problem escalated, and you found yourself blaming your father again. This scenario raises questions about accountability: Is it the snake, whose nature is inherently dangerous, the father who tried to protect the family, or yourself for not acknowledging the consequences of your actions? It is you who is the parasite to this nation and ur family (community). No one has done more damage to this nation than so called secular intellectual who fought for the right of snake to bite. But not for the real victim. 

You then sought help, questioning why help would come when the issue was self-inflicted. Why would mother from UP and Bihar send their sons to army so that they can give you security. What is your responsibility to ur community and nation. Since you are the real problem and the parasite. 

 It emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility rather than blaming others. 

 Furthermore, the snake often accuses your father of mistreatment and snakophobic but fails to explain why it keep coming here to die since he already got the home land to stay safe. Since snake also know that he cannt survive on him own without sucking blood of hard working memeber of ur family. As u can see the condition of ur neighbouring countries.  

So next time ask these question to the people who support and fight for the right of the snake not to ur father....

Idk about this being right or wrong but we are more peaceful and accepting than we preach given the community he belongs to for ex there's this guy at my office bro he brings beef to the office like bruh ? Even those who eat nonveg were disgusted and the fact he sits with us and one time even offered me though it was different meat plus I am a vegetarian everyone took it very lightly but he knew what he's doing not once but so many times it has happened and there are lot of issues apart from this, NGL these people need some different typa treatment.
