The public displays a combination of anger, frustration, and sorrow over the Pahalgam terror attack, consistently blaming the government for perceived incompetence and demanding accountability. Many express distrust towards local residents, suspecting complicity or foreknowledge of the attack. Overall, sentiments reveal safety concerns, a call for justice, and a desire for stronger governmental action in response to terrorism.

Actually some subs actually have paki mods, and that's not hidden from anyone. I've had trust in this sub and mods for a quite long time and it's still there, but as we cannot generalize every musl*m to be wrong, we can't generalize every sub to be right.

Like the mod of delhi has been active in pakistani sub in the past, supported them in comments against India.

Ticket-Financial

the real fucking question is that some mods over here believe that pakistanis are peaceful and we should act the same as them. how is that fucking justified.? im not talking here about hindus,muslims,man woman anything just the fact that we are just supposed to be calm ? AND THIS WAS AND IS AN ATTACK ON HINDUS. this is religional. there was religion asked . people are allowed to despise them. look at that pakistani embassy in delhi cutting cake . this division wasnt started by us. but we are free to ridicule everyone who at this sensitive time is asking for peace and calling us uncivil for demanding actions.



 Also mods here really need to do better. suddenly after an outrage you have an explanation post but not an honory,empathy post for the victims before this?

I never came across a post in this subreddit about asking for genocide of people based on religion but just pointing out 100s of verses about women from religion which considers that book as final and source of truth is not hate it's reality. Wolf and Sheep are not same.
I had one rich friend from that community who supported palestine by keeping it's home screen wallpaper.he also formed cartel with his community members in office and gave them preference in hiring. One of my brother classmate has sister married to Pakistan and they have very cordial relationship to them I found it is very common for indian and Pakistani muslim to stay in touch even post independence.

Please read the books before you talk about anything else. It is filled with anti feminist teachings and literally calls women "Half brained".

The attack was done based on religion. How else would you justify a man being asked to pull down his pants, before he was shot.....

Don't remain ignorant.

Times like these makes you think 'Am I living amongst people of other faith or am I surviving like my forefathers'.

By all means, keep suppressing the critics who are rightfully pointing out the dreadful and despicable ideologies and be left with an echo chamber.

We need to consider the root of the communal issue. Any good citizen, who is a muslim will have basically the same opinion about religion as a good citizen of any other religion: "All religions are right in their own way and we all pray to the same God in various forms." But the ones that enable the religious polarization would say that their interpretation is the correct one and others are doomed to hell if they don't dont convert. Their tolerance is limited takes the form of being unable to act, rather than actual respect and consideration for different religions. 

Fundamentalists of any religion are the true villains of our society, be it muslim, hindu, sikh or christian. They would act according to what an old book says, instead of being a human and act in the best interests of people around them. 

Islam in south asia has a fundamentalism problem. The liberals and reformers are very weak and the people who insist on islam being perfect are very influential. The rise and popularization of Hindu fundamentalism is a result of the "tolerance" being forced towards minority fundamentalists. We saw how even a BJP spokesperson lost her career by retaliating against a person who was abusing hindu deities. When there is no fairness in being tolerant, the only options we have are to either continue to suffer, or become intolerant ourselves. 

The only practical solution is for liberal muslims to rise up and put fundamentalists in their place. No religious text is perfect. There is no superior morality than basic common sense and empathy. We don't need shariya, khalsa or hindu ram rajya. We only need good, functioning democracy that responds to what the people need.

ManofTheNightsWatch

okay one real question why is it that only one religion is consistently involved in all terrorist activities across the world. Why it’s the only religion involved in most of the religious wars across the world and throughout the history. Why it has to be that one religion

And anyone who ever read game theory and particularly about infinite and finite games must know terrorists are playing finite game, they have to only win once to make their point but governments are playing infinite game that is they have to defeat terrorists everytime. The score might 1-999 but that 1 will speak and 999 will keep mum

You know I am a kashmiri hindu myself and I believe Muslims to be my friends but not kashmiri Muslims. Again, I don't want to generalize but when you hear them talk about army and Indians and Hindus being Indian kafirs, your pov will change. 

How easily they see terrorists are freedom fighters, a few years back I went to the valley and that was during the afghan takeover by taliban, the shikara walas (local muslims who row boat in dal lakes) were talking about how taliban like organization needs to be formed in kashmir which is strict to sharia and not afraid to die fighting the enemy (basically jihad). 

The things they talk about, the anti india sentiment, when you will hear it, you will yourself feel there is no coming back for them. They even call going to delhi or mumbai like oh you are going to India? When will you be back in kashmir? Like kashmir is a different country.

With all being said, I just hope for peace and justice for the people who are wronged. Violence is never the answer and hate can never kill hate. But it is stupid to turn a blind eye to hate. I'm all for feminism and super against religious hate but facts are facts. No saying to hate anyone but not be stupid as well.

My parents generation have suffered so let's not be dumb now. I remember when my dad was building his home in kashmir, locals (kashmiri muslims) used to taunt him that you are making a very beautiful home for us. When Pakistan used to win a cricket match, they used to force enter the hindu homes and burst crackers on the verandah (front lawn).

Forgive so you can heal but never forget so you can learn!

No one is questioning the government as to how the security lapse occurred? but ek religion pe hate krna hai to bolo

Hate is anti-national. Remember how anti-national once meant destruction of nation? Now it's used to mean not participating in the destruction of the nation. Hating instead of demanding accountability is not going to build up, but only going to tear down.


Also here's my two cents. The people who want to create hate, these keyboard warriors, they overwhelm the ones who don't in cyberspace, although more people than not want peace in real life, because they're jobless and internet is cheap. They are people who feel powerless irl, and they hate to feel powerful.

caesar_calamitous

What is justice according to you? If we invade Pakisthan you alll will start to cry about wars. There was one video of a woman questioning the government posted in this sub which you mods locked because you didn't want people asking questions about it. It's definitely a security failure, intelligence failure but terrorists have to win just once. Kashmir is heavily militarised but you don't have soldiers at every inch. Sooner or later some sort of attack would have happened because we do nothing to fix the issue. Issue of ISI and Pakistan army that harbours these terrorists. The terrorists have good gear and equipment who do you think gives them? Why is that it's always us who's expected to behave mature and calm. Yes it's right to be bothered by people questioning Indian muslims, but again some people in India kept posting of Gaza, Palestine everyday but are silent on what happened in their own nation. Okay chalo let's ignore that dedicating an instagram story or not makes no difference. But what about people who are outright defending the terrorists by blaming it on the tourists for a being a big plan of Indian government to change demography of kashmir, what about people who think this attack was done by Indian government itself. Such posts were put up in this exact subreddit while you mods did nothing about it. 

I'll tell you why pakisthan did this attack. Their internal situation is fucked up so much that they need all their citizens to be united against hating India. And they hate the fact that kashmir has tourism.

&gt;Rishi Bhatt, speaking to ANI, described the attack, saying, “...Firing started when I was ziplining...I did not realise this for around 20 seconds...I suddenly realised that a firing has started and people on the ground are being killed. I saw 5-6 people getting shot.”

&gt;He further explained, “After about 20 seconds, I realised that it was a terrorist attack...He (the zipline operator) said 'Allahu Akbar' thrice, following which the firing started. I found out that men in two families ahead of us were asked their religion and shot in front of my wife and son. My wife and son were screaming. I unlatched my belt and jumped down, took my wife and son and started running away. We saw people hiding at a spot which was like a pit, so you could not spot someone easily there. We too hid there.”

While "Allahu Akbar" is a common phrase  the NIA are looking to question the zip operator.

He's still smiling 50 secs into his zipline, if he "realized it was a terrorist attack" you can't tell

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.

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.

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).

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.)**

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.

lazy_bastard_001

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.
